With the recent revelation of Special Counsel John Durham’s court filings that have pretty much, using the left’s favorite conversation-crusher, “debunked” the whole Trump-colluded-with-Russia-to-steal-the-2016-election-from Hillary fiction, the media got the official cue to look the other way in response to Tucker Carlson’s breakdown of the falsehood they (and Democrats) inflicted on Donald Trump, President Trump, his supporters and the nation for years.

Leave it to Media Matters and the predictable others to ignore the bulk and substance of the segment and possibly point to a dead guy who can’t offer any clarification or even facts.

The NYT/CNN/NBC axis flooded the zone every time Robert Mueller scratched his nose. They spent hours and hours deciphering his every sneeze. Actual criminal indictments from Durham of Hillary’s lawyer or FBI operatives — crimes that created Russiagate — barely merit an article.
— Glenn Greenwald, 2/13/22

There are many consistencies when it comes to how this whole Durham investigation is playing out. One being that whenever there’s bad news for a Republican, there’s always someone who’ll leak that damaging info to an eager liberal media to disseminate. But when there’s bad news about a Democrat, nothing is leaked and if it is, it’s downplayed by the press. Aside from court filings that are public record, there’s been enough radio silence that the media’s been able to portray Durham as much ado about nuthin’… until now.

This is also where the media has itself stuck in the proverbial box where they have to either admit they were played by Hillary Clinton, her campaign and the DNC, or they knew Donald Trump never colluded with the Russians during his 2016 campaign and throughout his term as president. The latter is probably closer to the truth and the world saw how they were all in for the pro-Hillary/Democrat narrative.

The media really can’t admit they were suckers for Hillary’s disinformation as that would place an even bigger storm cloud over their already pitiful reputation for impartiality and honesty, but alas, that appears to be the only plea they can cop. As they gaslight the world claiming to be fair and impartial, their only remaining option is to admit to being overpaid, and in some cases, multi-millionaire suckers.

They’ll claim, despite no evidence ever being found, to have relied on impeccable “sources and methods“, which we all know cannot be questioned… until this one time. They’ll claim, despite no evidence ever being found, there was no reason to believe that Hillary Clinton, her campaign, the Obama administration, the FBI, CIA, and federal employees would EVER make up such an elaborate scheme to win a presidential election and once lost, sabotage a presidential administration. They’ll claim, despite no evidence ever being found, their instincts pointed to a direction that we all now know to be incorrect and as they are human, should be willing to look past this minor blip in judgment.

Why will the media seek such forgiveness? Because it’s not over.

Most Democrats want Hillary Clinton investigated for any role in Russiagate scandal: poll

We don’t know how many people in the media have been hauled in to testify in front of Durham’s grand jury. It stands to reason that players currently under investigation may have passed on slanderous information to members of the media for rapid circulation; information known to be false yet published anyway. It’s not a crime for a First Amendment-protected journalist to distribute lies, but it sure can put a dent in a resume and public reputation to his or her employer. The chances are pretty small that so many supposedly smart people could have gotten it all so wrong, thus it stands to reason too many were happily all-in on pushing false stories on the Donald Trump they collectively hated. They had no problem amplifying falsehoods that resulted in many people having to lawyer-up and some even seeing the inside of a jail cell.

As the Durham investigation nears its conclusion, look for legacy media so-called journalists and anchors try and paint a scenario where they just may have gotten inadvertently ensnared by bad opposition research and tactics. You know, we all make mistakes and they always remind us that Americans are very forgiving people. They will soon try and demand we forgive them because they’re all we have when it comes to getting news we can trust.

Hillary Clinton waves off questions about whether she spied on Trump in 2016

Take their word for it… IF they talk about it at all.

Should Donald Trump be removed from office, that would make Mike Pence the president while there’s a scenario where Nancy Pelosi could become vice president (pending nomination and confirmation); a horrifying scenario to be sure. As vice president, Pelosi would continue her bully tactics and use her leverage with a Democrat-controlled House to create and/or shut down current policy items. One such federal activity she could definitely target for immediate termination, and Democrats have every reason to do so, would be the Durham investigation.

In October, it was reported that John Durham, U.S. attorney from Connecticut was expanding the scope of his investigation, adding agents and resources, to examine the post-election timeline up to the appointment of Robert Mueller as special counsel in May 2017.

Hmm, no leaks….

The “investigation into the investigators” was reported to be upgraded to a criminal inquiry later that month, which gives Durham the power to impanel a grand jury and hand down indictments.
— Washington Examiner, 1/27/20

“Grand jury and serve indictments” and the expanded “investigation into the investigators” is undoubtedly what has many in and around Capitol Hill very nervous as while it was very cool to have those within President Trump’s circle investigated, incur exorbitant attorney fees resulting in harsh financial hardship (and in some cases imprisonment), the very thought of the same happening to them is something that must keep many up at night given their possible involvement in what can only be called that “soft coup d’état”.

It’s not clear how many of those involved (that we currently know of) would be willing to fall on a sword for an immediate superior but do you really think Andrew McCabe, James Clapper, James Comey, John Brennan, Lisa Page, Peter Strzok and others would be willing to rely on GoFundMe solicitations to pay for high-priced lawyers, especially when (in this case) a grand jury decision can speed up the normal process and bring a defendant straight into a federal courtroom facing hostile DOJ lawyers?

Mark Zaid, the attorney representing the Ukraine whistleblower, boasted in two recently discovered tweets of ongoing efforts to stage a coup to remove Mr. Trump: “coup has started. First of many steps. rebellion. impeachment will follow,” Mr. Zaid tweeted in January 2017. Later the same month, he tweeted: “coup has started. As one falls, two more will take their place.”
— Washington Times, 11/20/19

What the Democrats know is that the Durham investigation findings are not just another federally-produced white paper with “suggestions” that can be amplified or blown off at the discretion of the affected agencies and/or the media. High profile defendants could be frog-matched in front of international cameras and a detailed list of their possible activities would be made public for all to see and digest. Then it would be up to those defendants to absorb the cost of their defense and have to decide how far in a trial they’d want to go, OR maybe plea bargain in exchange for ratting out someone above who knew about or even ordered them to commit crimes that may include treason.

No sooner had Mr. Trump been elected than Rosa Brooks, a former Defense Department official during the Obama administration, wrote an essay for Foreign Policy magazine discussing theoretical ways to remove Mr. Trump before the 2020 election, among them a scenario involving a military coup.

Think about how many people it would take to pull that off.

In September 2018, The New York Times published an op-ed from an anonymous White House official who boasted of supposedly widescale efforts inside the Trump administration to nullify its operations and subvert presidential directives.

“Inside”….

Mr. Trump’s opponents often have praised the deep state precisely because unelected career officials are seen as the most effective way to sabotage and stymie his agenda.

So while we’re all being told that President Trump committed impeachable offenses and deserves to be removed from office months before the next election because Democrats know they can’t beat him, think about what they’re NOT talking about and probably truly fear.

A Durham report coming out before the election could have a profound effect with dire ramifications for not only those accused, but those whose fingerprints verify involvement including Fusion GPS, the Democratic National Committee, Hillary Clinton and her campaign, those within the Obama administration and maybe even former president Barack Obama himself.

The thought of a President Donald Trump, unfettered by the yoke of reelection, taking it to the very agencies, personnel and politicians who decided THEY were going to undo the 2016 and 2020 will of the people is a scary prospect indeed because Trump will show no mercy and will carry a very big book to throw at them.

And they all know it.

…
Plame is running for the seat currently held by New Mexico’s Third Congressional Democrat Ben Ray Lujan who is seeking a promotion.

The first question that may be asked is why she’s shown driving her Camaro in reverse for most of the video.

I’m running for Congress because we’re going backwards on national security, health care, and women’s rights. We need to turn our country around.
— “Undercover” — Valerie Plame for Congress, YouTube

By the end, she wants the viewer to see her as some badass chick.

“Yes, the CIA really does teach us how to drive like this.”

Fair enough. That could come in handy should she be late for a vote on Capitol Hill.

While some will conveniently call these “rookie mistakes”, there are a few things wrong with this video.

Unless her campaign received expressed permission, they may have broken the rules within the first ten seconds.

Most U.S. government creative works such as writing or images are copyright-free. But not everything is. So before you use a U.S. government work, check to make sure it does not fall under one of these exceptions:

You cannot use government trademarks or government agencies’ logos without permission.

You cannot use a government work in a way that implies endorsement by a government agency, official, or employee. For example, you can’t use a photo of a government official wearing your product in an ad.
— USA.Gov

You never know. The Plame for Congress campaign may have received permission from the CIA to use their logo, but if so the agency may have also required the Plame campaign to add a disclaimer stating use of the logo didn’t imply an endorsement. No such disclaimer was included.

One of the benefits of time and public consciousness is that you can say something today that too many knew nothing about when it was happening because of either slanted media coverage or some being too young to have been paying attention.

“Dick Cheney’s chief of staff took revenge against my husband and leaked my identity. His name? Scooter Libby. Guess who pardoned him last year?”

Plame continues to state that former adviser to Vice President Dick Cheney Scooter Libby “outed” her as a CIA operative. Libby was fined, even did time and was eventually pardoned by President Trump simply because he had trouble answering specifics during a lengthy FBI perjury trap, complete with grand juries. If you can accurately repeat every bit of minutia within a conversation you had two years ago, more power to you especially if you’re freedom is on the line.

But there’s one small detail Plame still can’t get herself to publicly admit: Scooter didn’t out her.

Former Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage acknowledged Thursday that he was the source who first revealed the identity of CIA officer Valerie Plame to syndicated columnist Robert Novak back in 2003, touching off a federal investigation. Armitage told the CBS Evening News that he did so inadvertently.

In a column published on July 14, 2003, Novak, citing two senior administration officials, noted that Plame was a CIA operative. The column was primarily about Plame’s husband, Joe Wilson, a former career diplomat and critic of the intelligence underlying the invasion of Iraq.

Last month, sources told CNN that Armitage had revealed Plame’s role at the CIA in a casual conversation with Novak.
— CNN, 9/8/06

So, more than 13 years after the truth was revealed and an innocent man was fined and imprisoned, Valerie Plame STILL falsely accuses Libby of something it was proven he didn’t do so she can remain the victim. Think Scooter’s hired a lawyer because it’s really bad when a Democrat is called out by the Washington Post, and is determined to be a liar.

“Please recall that Scooter Libby was convicted of obstruction of justice because he attempted to hide information from the prosecutors. He obstructed justice, perjured himself and was held accountable until Donald Trump pardoned him. No one suggested he leaked it,” said Plame spokesman Daniel Garcia.

Did Danny not hear what Valerie said in their own campaign video?

Plame’s name and CIA role was first disclosed in Robert Novak’s column. Novak’s original source was Armitage, and his confirming sources were Rove and a CIA spokesman. Novak’s column led to the firestorm that launched a federal investigation. But no evidence shows that Libby disclosed Plame’s role to Novak.

Plame earns Three Pinocchios.
— Washington Post, 9/10/19

As far as her ongoing claim she was this “covert” CIA operative, brought in from the cold while her family was imperiled because of the leak, the jury’s still out on this one.

The glamorous Mrs. Wilson was depicted as the victim of White House machinations that aborted her career in secret intelligence.

(Congressman Henry) Waxman and Democratic colleagues did not ask these pertinent questions: Had not Plame been outed years ago by a Soviet agent? Was she not on an administrative, not operational, track at Langley? How could she be covert if, in public view, she drove to work each day at Langley? What about testimony to the FBI that her CIA employment was common knowledge in Washington?
— Robert Novak, 3/22/07

In the ad, Plame appears to need some street cred.

“I come from Ukrainian Jewish immigrants.”

Why was that added? Maybe because some inconvenient social media posts may come up…?

Former CIA operative Valerie Plame Wilson tweeted out an anti-Semitic article that claimed Jews were the cause of America’s wars.

Following backlash, Plame Wilson defended herself in a series of tweets that pointed out she had a Jewish background.
— Washington Free Beacon, 9/21/17

Don’t bother looking for all those Tweets. They’ve been conveniently scrubbed from her personal account.

And tying back into the badass impression she’s trying to give, there’s another problem with implications in the ad.

“You name a hot spot? I lived it.”

 
Plame was never stationed in Iran or North Korea but it sure sounds good. For all of the patriotic Americans who were and are on the ground behind enemy lines, this isn’t a “stolen valor” moment, but it’s pretty damn close.

“Mr. President, I have a few scores to settle.”

She’s had it out for President Trump for quite awhile and shown the clear dismissal for the free speech of someone SHE doesn’t like.

Valerie Plame Wilson is fundraising to buy a controlling share of Twitter so that she can ban President Trump from the social media platform.

Wilson, who was revealed to be a covert CIA operations officer in a 2003 leak, slammed Twitter executives for ignoring calls to enforce the company’s own community standards and delete Trump’s account.
— Washington Examiner, 8/21/17

We’re kinda’ sure President Trump won’t shy away from this implied call-out.

Valerie Plame is off to a rough start, then again Democrats have been lying to potential voters and constituents for decades so if elected, she’ll fit right in.

But also because there was a lot of, dare I use the word, treasonous activity committed by those who believed they’d never be caught had Hillary Clinton won, and are now praying liberal media interference will keep their pasty, fat asses out of prison.

It is now clear that elements within the FBI, the CIA, the Department of Justice (DOJ), and the State Department were actively working against the Trump campaign, and that these elements continued to work against President Donald Trump’s administration following his surprise win.

Immediately following Trump’s victory, these efforts focused on two specific fronts: hobbling the effectiveness of Trump’s newly formed administration and simultaneously working toward his impeachment. Complicit in this effort was the mainstream media, which almost gleefully promoted story after story full of half-truths and partial facts.
— The Epoch Times, 12/27/18

Keeping the liberal sheep distracted and angry is all the left and their media has, also knowing once the truth comes out, a very important question will be asked: How much of this did the media know and why did they take it upon themselves to be accomplices to what’s in essence a coup d’état?

And if the media admits they were totally hoodwinked by rogue elements within the FBI, CIA, DOJ and State Department, then what fucking good are they?

Everything appears to be still riding on the never-ending Mueller investigation and that’s NOT a good card to be relying on.

The Mueller investigation has proven to be an emotional issue and a source of concern for many. But there are some potentially reassuring facts for those concerned the special counsel is acting out of bounds. Mueller’s investigation has exhibited a common theme: influence peddling and FARA violations. And the majority of his investigations, such as the one into Paul Manafort, relate to events preceding Trump. Thus far, there have been no allegations of collusion in any of the Mueller indictments relating to the president.

Remember, the Democrat left and ALL of their allies have assured their consumers and donors that President Trump worked in cahoots with the Russians to change the minds of rational Americans into voting against Hillary Clinton.

Christopher Steele, British national and former MI6 agent, admitted in a recent court filing that he was hired for the purpose of providing information that would allow Hillary Clinton to challenge the validity of the 2016 election.

The Steele dossier was used by both the FBI and the CIA, and a summary of the document was provided directly to President Barack Obama. And yet, for all the weight attached to this document, most of its assertions have never been proven to be factual, many have been proven to be false, and it remains unverified to this day.

Armed with the best investigative law team taxpayer money can buy, all Mueller’s “team” been able to do is kick in the doors of the homes of lower level federal and campaign employees, break them into plea bargaining to charges that have NOTHING to do with Russian collusion (because it never happened); and some of these charges pertain to rarely-enforced “crimes” that preceded any direct affiliation with Donald Trump, his campaign, transition team or administration.

The investigation by special counsel Robert Mueller, which began in May 2017, began to return indictments, but has noticeably failed to produce any evidence of collusion on the part of the Trump campaign. Each indictment from Mueller has specifically noted there was no collusion on the part of any American citizen.

The truth ALWAYS comes out and when it does, the same indifferent lack of mercy should be shown to these people. The same level of mercy that’s resulted in some having to sell off their assets in order to obtain legal representation on par with the FBI and/or DOJ, not to mention going to jail for things Democrats were offered immunity for after doing much worse.

We should also not let the likes of ABC News, CBS News, NBC News, MSNBC, CNN, PBS, the New York Times, Washington Post, Politico, The Hill, Newsweek, TIME, as well as MoveOn, the ACLU, Democratic AGs or any of the other liberal nonprofits that pushed the “Russian collusion” hoax to a semi-trusting American people solely for the purpose of initially damaging and ultimately impeaching a sitting president off the hook. This should also include all those presently investigating the president, knowing he did nothing wrong and still want to damage him politically just because they can.

Lock them up.

Yes, lock them all up and throw away the keys.

UPDATE

Hillary Clinton, the Clinton Foundation, and most everyone around them were afforded immunity or friendly agreements from the Obama DOJ despite the stench that’s been growing from new revelations.

The Justice Department “negotiated” an agreement with Hillary Clinton’s legal team that ensured the FBI did not have access to emails on her private servers relating to the Clinton Foundation, former FBI special agent Peter Strzok testified during a closed-door appearance before the House Judiciary Committee last summer, according to a newly released transcript. The DOJ’s goal, Former Utah Rep. Jason Chaffetz, who chaired the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee until 2017 and is now a Fox News contributor said, was to “make sure they hear no evil, see no evil — they had no interest in pursuing the truth.”

Chaffetz added that the DOJ’s behavior, including its award of immunity to top Clinton aides early on in the investigation, signaled a clear double standard: “They didn’t go make a deal with anyone in Trump’s orbit. They seized it. They used guns and agents — and just went in there and took it.”
— Fox News, 3/14/19

Meanwhile, anyone associated with Donald Trump’s campaign has been financially damaged, prosecuted and even imprisoned and afforded no such soft cushion. In some cases, those in the Trump orbit were hassled even though partisan investigators knew these people did nothing wrong.

If President Trump declassifies evidence in the Russia investigation, Carter Page’s summer bike ride to a Virginia farm and George Papadopoulos’s hasty academic jaunt to London may emerge as linchpin proof of FBI surveillance abuses during the 2016 election. The two trips have received scant attention. But growing evidence suggests both Trump campaign advisers made exculpatory statements — at the very start of the FBI’s investigation — that undercut the Trump-Russia collusion theory peddled to agents by Democratic sources.

The FBI plowed ahead anyway with an unprecedented intrusion into a presidential campaign, while keeping evidence of the two men’s innocence from the courts.

Multiple FBI officials have testified that the Christopher Steele dossier had not been verified when its allegations were submitted as primary evidence supporting the FISA warrant against Page. We know the FBI failed to tell the courts that Steele admitted to a federal official that he was desperate to defeat Trump in the 2016 election and was being paid by Clinton’s campaign and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) to gather dirt on the GOP candidate.
— The Hill, 3/14/19

It doesn’t give much confidence of the fairness of the criminal justice system when law enforcement feels free to investigate and pressure people they know are innocent just because they can.

The agents themselves, the lower level level agents at the Department of Justice, there has to be a sort of retraining. You can’t suborn perjury. You can’t suppress evidence. You can’t extort false testimony from witnesses through intimidation and threats. This is stuff that we’re seeing now constantly all the time.

We have a political system that has weaponized our criminal justice system for selective and political prosecutions. There is no greater threat to our government than a country that uses its criminal justice system to selectively and politically prosecute people. This isn’t Russia or China or Iran. That’s exactly what happens over there. It’s not supposed to happen here.
— Former New York City Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik, 3/13/19

We all know it happens on the state and local level, but if you are a Republican and can have your life destroyed just because vindictive Democrats have the power and desire to  do so, they our nation is in more trouble than we think.

“The first U.S. official told CNN the intelligence assessment shows the attack was ordered at the “highest levels” of the regime. That official declined to specifically say whether al-Assad ordered the attack but did not rule it out. ‘We are not saying Assad himself had his finger on the button. But he is responsible for the stockpile and any attack like this would have to have been approved at the highest levels,’ he said. He rejected the notion the evidence of regime involvement was circumstantial.” Now, Syria must disprove it.

The ultimate evil of a Stasi, a NSA, or a CIA spying and listening to all communications, is that they can put words in your mouth, which you might deny, but with which the State will incriminate and destroy you. That the government or its agencies lie should be no surprise. http://www.truthinjustice.org/FBI-crime-lab.htm With the “evidence” presented by Kerry or Obama, there is no chance “to confront the witnesses.” You must trust what a US government agency generates.

False evidence presented to a gullible public is the M.O. of most governments. A famous example was in Stalin’s show trials, where ardent true believer communists were convicted of plotting against communism. “In the Indictment of the trial of the Old Bolsheviks Pyatakov, Radek, Sokolnikov, Serebriakov, Muralov and others, it states: ‘The investigation has established that LD Trotsky entered into negotiations with one of the leaders of the German National Socialist Party with a view to waging a joint struggle against the Soviet Union…The principles of this agreement, as Trotsky related, were finally elaborated and adopted during Trotsky’s meeting with Hitler’s deputy, Hess…” “Khrushchev finally reveal[ed] that the Trials were in fact f[r]ame-ups.”

Right now, we get US government confirmations by unidentified and unquestionable government hacks that the Syrian army used the poison gas, not the rebels. “Last Wednesday, in the hours after a horrific chemical attack east of Damascus, an official at the Syrian Ministry of Defense exchanged panicked phone calls with a leader of a chemical weapons unit, demanding answers for a nerve agent strike that killed more than 1,000 people. Those conversations were overheard by U.S. intelligence services, The Cable has learned.” Were those the same intelligence agencies and their hacks which confirmed WMD in Iraq? Did those agencies tell Susan Rice that the video incited the mob to attack in Benghazi?

Those poor dumb Syrians weren’t aware that electronic communications were being monitored world-wide and foolishly allowed their plans to be intercepted. How come those rebels keep losing to the Syrian army, when their enablers have complete intelligence about all planned Syrian army acts?

The Stalin Show trials have been replaced with the Obama Trials, where the defendants, here Syria, are found guilty by Obama and punished summarily by Obama. (Summary judgement is used by US judges to dispense with a trial, because the judge has determined, without any witnesses or defense presented, that the facts are irrefutable and a trial unnecessary for his final decreed judgement.) Why is the word of NSA or the CIA of what was communicated deemed fact, when it is easily manipulated or a total lie. Why did the framers with the sixth amendment demand the ability to confront witnesses and a public trial? At least, Stalin held a public trial where the false evidence was presented. Did framers envision a President as a secret judge and jury, and the executioner with drones of American citizens? Does absolute power always corrupt?

Who is next? Obama’s government has revealed: “Not only was it implied that Evangelical Christianity is as dangerous as a terrorist organization, but it was at the top of the list of threats,” which included: Evangelical Christianity, Ultra-Orthodox Jews, Christian Identity, Catholicism, Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and with“Islamophobia” was also listed as a form of religious extremism.

Once, Obama came for the Syrians, and pronounced his summary judgement after a secret trial held among his advisers. The basic lie is that the government is better qualified to run your life. Another lie you must tell yourself, is that you ought trust your government with its data, what it says others said and what it will say you said. Stalin is dead, but his spirit goes marching on in government.
