“After all, this was a collective effort. In Washington, the more people involved in a conspiracy, the less culpable it becomes. They all did it, so no one did.” —Jonathan Turley
Historians of the future, boiling up a nice spring bouillabaisse of nettles, cattail tubers, and frogs over their campfires, will pore over John Durham’s mystifying RussiaGate report for clues as to what begat the smoldering wreck of the legal system that once girded all the rough-and-ready ways of the old America, turning us into a land of simpering zombies. There was, apparently, a strange, Satanic cult called the FBI that cast a spell over the land, giving license to wickedness and depravity that transformed a once-upright folk into liars, until nobody knew what was the right way to do anything anymore….
Of course, we do not live in the future, only on the thrilling edge of it, and it is still possible to see through the fog of mystification creeping over our lives. Though one Rachel Maddow yet raves on, and the FBI still sends SWAT teams hither and yon to cow the righteous, and an evil mummy resides at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, our country knows the score. It was hoaxed, played, bamboozled. A trip was laid on us. The law was turned against the people by the very officers of the courts: the lawyers. Shakespeare had the right idea — and forgive me for not spelling it out (but consult Henry VI, Part I, Scene II at your leisure).
Yes, John Durham’s report was a disappointment, but isn’t it obvious that he was already done-in by the bootless prosecutions last year of Michael Sussmann and Igor Danchenko in the gangrenous DC district federal court, which sent the message: Hey, why bother, pal? Any additional cases against the likes of James Comey, Peter Stzrok, Andrew McCabe, and the rest of the gang would have resulted in the greatest exhibition of memory-loss ever seen in the annals of jurisprudence. And, as to expecting the government to produce documents in evidence… well, who amongst us can hold his breath for, say, seventy-five years.
It is impossible for now to know the constraints placed on Mr. Durham by Attorney General Merrick Garland — though it appears that Mr. Garland is just the latest initiate into the years-long shuck-and-jive that amounts to a seditious conspiracy against the republic. That is, add Mr. Garland to the long list of officials who have a lot at risk and a lot to hide, so he’s used his vested powers to hamstring Mr. Durham. But the heart of the story is out, despite all that, and pretty baldly stated: Hillary Clinton started the whole RussiaGate gag to take the heat off her own turpitudes. The federal agency heads and their lieutenants avidly used Hillary’s concocted falsehoods to foment malicious prosecutions and drive the naively accommodating President Trump out of office, and stopped at nothing until they succeeded.
There it is. We will now have to muddle through and go forward, a savagely deformed polity. Still, it will be edifying to see Mr. Durham testify before The House Judiciary Committee next week, as Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) has requested. Mr. Durham may even wish to use the opportunity to redeem his tarnished reputation. Some items for review: Why did Mr. Durham omit to investigate the deceitful Mueller team (especially its actual director, Andrew Weissmann), which was an obvious cover-up operation? Ditto: the role played by President Barack Obama in the scheme to interfere in the 2016 election? Ditto: the operation to hide and then discredit Hunter Biden’s crime-stuffed laptop during the 2020 presidential election? Ditto: what has been the CIA’s role in all of this? I believe Mr. Durham will provide many interesting answers to these queries. It may be the only forum that will ever avail him to speak honestly.
Presumably the House Judiciary Committee members are lawyers, and have a host of aide lawyers to fall back on for legal advice. Can someone please ask Mr. Durham why he did not bring a charge of conspiracy to commit sedition under the RICO act against the whole gang of RussiaGate players based on the “enterprise rationale” that the evidence suggests they were all vested in an effort to defenestrate a sitting president?
We will go forward from this whether we like it or not, of course, because the arrow of time flies only in that direction. What is the best way out of this wilderness of dishonor and disgrace? Take a lesson from the campaign, so far, of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. The way Mr. Kennedy has been straight-talking — around the coordinated slanders and scurrilities of an ignoble news media — he makes the current leadership of the Democratic Party look like the most pathetic claque of rascally whack-jobs ever assembled under a gonfalon. Keep your eye on RFK, Jr. He’s moving downfield, even without blocking.
Side-note or post-script, for those interested in how the vaccination story is going: A close friend went into the CVS pharmacy looking for a “get well soon” card. There were none. A clerk on-hand right there in the aisle said, “we can’t keep them in stock.” No “sympathy” cards either. Draw your conclusions.

Hmmm….Seems like Jim has capitulated on the evil doers in .Gov and the letter agencies, ever being held accountable for their crimes.
Maybe that will be a relief for him and hopefully us, in his future writings, that train left the station.
Jim’s flavor of the month, RFK, may be “moving downfield”….until he gets plastered by a linebacker, fumbles the ball, and suffers a grade three concussion…or worse.
Cucinich was just named his campaign manager. That move has loser stink all over it, so…face plant right out of the gate. Those Leftist satan worshiping Dem perverts are never going to go for “centrist” any fucking thing and we all know it.
They elected a seditious unconvicted felon to the White House, for fuck’s sake!
“elected” is a stretch. “Installed” would be more accurate.
I am strong in the Lord and the Power of His Might.
You will NOT make me vomit…today. :o)
It is not the crime that gets you convicted, Roger, it is the way you answer the questions.
The movie, The Devil’s Advocate, covers that particular aspect of “law” very well.
People need to start correctly dividing the Word and seeing the difference between “law” and “Law”.
“We are now entering the Time when all will turn against us and seek our lives.” – Paul Atreades, Dune
Rightly dividing the difference between prophecy and mystery will reveal far greater truths.
For example? What does that even mean?
Prophecy is righteous in origin, mystery is distraction and entertainment.
An individual habituating to the discernment of such dichotomy strengthens the spirit for the embrace of greater truths revealing aspects of God’s will that are unreachable by raw intellect alone.
Mystery is that body of information revealed to the apostle Paul.
1 Corinthians 2:7-8 KJB… “But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.”
Romans 16:25-27 KJB… “Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began, But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith: To God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for ever. Amen.”
The mystery is the new creature, the church the body of Christ. Unprophesied, unknown to man or angel, till Acts chapter 9.
I stand corrected. Thank you, Pastor.
You’re more than welcome brother!
it’s law & legality.
The FBI and company were willing to do all of this against one of the most famous Americans, who was running for POTUS and then was elected. And continued post-election with their bullshit.
If they do that to someone as famous as Trump, what in the fuck do you think these people do to average Joe’s every day of the year?
If you work for the FBI, or are retired and drawing a pension, or are a contractor surveilling website comment sections at their behest, go fuck yourself. And then do it again. Fuck off and go to Hell, losers.
It’s pretty clear now that they eat their own too. That falls in the category of “vicious animals”.
All the alphabet agencies are subservient to the Whore House in D.C. no matter who’s
getting blowjobs under the Oral Office desk.
It’s a top down environment, folks.
You’ll just have to vote harder next time.

…just don’t dress like one. You might get shot on principle.
“friendly fire”?
I believe Mr. Durham will provide many interesting answers to these queries. It may be the only forum that will ever avail him to speak honestly.
We have seen this play before. Mr. Durham will be allowed 20 minute or so to make his opening statement, regurgitating the “Reader’s Digest” version of his 300 page report, then all of those “lawyers” on the Judiciary Committee will use their allocated 10 minutes of time to pontificate without ever asking the first question of substance. At the end of the hearing, all will slap each other on the back for a job well done and retire to the bar for brandy and cigars.
Sadly true. We will know there is some scrap of serious consequence when these politicians stop pontificating and start eliminating the budgets of every single alphabet agency and also when they stop funding for the nauseating Washington DC federal courts. But this will never happen. Instead this country will twirl on, right down the freaking drain, while politicians continue yapping about pronouns. We are so finished.
If there is rot in the legal system blame the judges all the way up to the cartoon highest court in our land. The purpose of all these overreach incidents is to make the system no longer a workable system. Why have TPTB been working so hard on gutting our system of governance and law? To replace it , and not with any system ever used in the world prior. A new age and a new judge coming.
The courts are by far the weakest and most easily controlled branch.
Kunstler has come a long way in the last 7 years.
It’s impressive.
Would someone please remind Kunstler that the so-called lawyers in Shakespeare’s time were the king’s prosecutors. There were no private lawyers at the time.
