How many stories and posts breathlessly reported Comey was going to indict Hillary, Lynch, Huma, etc?
It just doesn’t take much.
Sessions, Rosenstein, Huber, Barr, Durham - all were frauds.
Zero Raids combined!

“35. Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.”
So the communists were ahead of their time on this issue?😀
If the FBI is going to be filled with liberal democrats chasing ‘made up conspiracies’ by the media and Clinton operatives.
Their funding should dry up. Lets see the DOJ operate with 20% budget cuts over the next 5 years.

Agreed. Dismantle and defund!

The DOJ is filled with liberal shitheads.
Cut their budget until only an Attorney General and four secretaries have funding.
Our law system is an expensive fraudulent joke.

Lib lawyers and dems are masters at court shopping. They own the major federal courts in DC and NY. It’s one reason they stay on Trump in those areas. They pretty much control those areas and that branch of the government. The system is broken.

I agree with your assessment. Gives Durham cause to go after bigger fish.

“Guilty” we didn’t need to see the evidence. Our law system is a joke. As I keep saying.
Depressing but also infuriating. As a Charles Bronson character might say.

"A Kabuki event designed to further confuse any meaningful investigation into conduct by the FBI?" You win the nickel cigar. Durham job was to shield the fbi, not to expose their evil doings. The 7th floor was the nerve center of the coup against President Trump. DC voted 95% for Shrillary, in 2016. A jury of those knuckleheads was never going to convict someone doing her bidding.

Every institution or thing leftwing ideologues touch turns into crap.
So stop funding the crapheads.
Seems like a simple solution, except Washington DC Republicans like the current system.

So far they’ve been rather successful fulfilling nearly every plank of the original 45. All while dismantling and destroying the U.S.
Which is their end goal.

DC Juries don’t weigh evidence and logic; they latch onto whatever justifies voting per their prejudices and desires. This jury knew that finding Danchenko guilty exposes the Trump-Russian Collusion narrative as a scam perpetrated by the Clinton Campaign and their DoJ/FBI partners. But the truth turns their world upside down; they can’t have it.
Durham gave them what they needed when he made it clear that the FBI knew Danchenko was lying, wanted him to lie, paid him to lie, and used his lies to obtain FISA warrants and undermine Trump. How can Danchenko be guilty of “lying” to those who are paying him to say what they want to hear so they can exploit it for their own ends? That feels like reasonable doubt. The case was lost by design.

“As I keep saying.

My position is stay calm because eventually this “dam of stupidity” will eventually break.
The institutions in this country are all controlled by the same urbanized drones. They have the money to fund all the negative ideologies destroying the country.
Also, I study US history through a resource called newspaper.com, never has our media been so one-sided towards one political party..... “Its disgusting.”

So capitalists in USA don’t know about this and don’t care?
What gives?
Shouldn’t American capital be a ‘canary in a coal mine’ on the issues you present.

The way I see it, is that true Capitalist’s are being destroyed, and corrupt crony capitalists are replacing them.
I can’t really think of any single sector in America that these sleezebag communists have not yet infiltrated.

Igor Danchenko was a well-known fabricator of (dis)information long before the FBI made the purposeful decision to enlist him in their Trump targeting efforts. Specifically because Danchenko had no moral compass to the truth he was particularly useful for the FBI effort. This was the big problem for John Durham in prosecuting Danchenko for material lies the FBI knew from the outset were false.
How does the same DOJ who used the lies for their political purposes, then prosecute the liar for the false information? That was always the structural flaw in any case brought by Durham. As a result, the trial was not so much about the lying Danchenko as it was about the lying FBI and their use of Danchenko.
A jury found Igor Danchenko not guilty on four counts of lying to the FBI, on four occasions.
(1) Danchenko told FBI agents he received a phone call in late July 2016 Sergei Millian. However, Danchenko knew he had never received a call from Millian.
(2) Danchenko gave a false statement to FBI agents that he “was under the impression” that the late July 2016 call was from Millian.
(3) Danchenko falsely stated to FBI agents that he believed he spoke to Millian on the phone on more than one occasion. And
(4) Danchenko lied that he “believed he has spoken to [Millian] on the telephone,” when Danchenko well knew he had never spoken to Millian.
The FBI didn’t care about the details of the lies that were told to them; the lies served a purpose. The FBI purpose was to use the Steele Dossier as the foundation for a fraudulent all-encompassing search warrant against the Trump campaign and presidency, using Carter Page. That construct was always the motive of the DOJ/FBI use of Danchenko, Chris Steele and the infamous dossier that gave the DOJ the patina they needed for the FISA application.
The trial itself showed how corrupt the FBI and DOJ were in this scheme by:
A) offering Chris Steele $1 million for proof of the dossier content.
B) By making Danchenko a confidential human source for two years to shield him, “sources and methods”, from investigative inquiry.
C) By paying Danchenko $200,000 for his time as a useful tool and confidential human source.
As noted in the summary of the trial by Technofog:
[…] “What is more important is that which informs our understanding of the Trump/Russia investigation and the FBI/DOJ/Mueller misconduct that sparked Crossfire Hurricane and continued through the Mueller investigation. That information was revelatory.
The institutions were on trial alongside Danchenko, with Durham recognizing in closing arguments that “the FBI mishandled the investigation at issue.” And the institutions rightly suffered.
Danchenko might have been spared, but is there any reasonable doubt as to the FBI’s incompetence – and guilt? (read more)
As CTH has stated from the outset of the entire scheme, the problem is institutional corruption. The personnel, administration, leadership and participants, within the DOJ, DOJ-NSD and FBI are corrupt.
Institutions do not become corrupt by themselves. People within the institutions are the cause of the corruption, and every person attached to the Trump-Russia investigation – including Robert Mueller, are corrupt. It was a scheme in 2016, which became a coverup operation in 2017, which became an explosive institutional problem in 2019 which Bill Barr was trying to manage.
- Institutional Preservation – Bill Barr applied the Bondo to the rusted framework of the DOJ and FBI, and John Durham applied the spray paint by not targeting anyone inside the justice department.
John Durham only focused, perhaps because he was only allowed to focus, on the external participants to the originating schemes. One thing is clear, John Durham never once mentioned the corrupt nature of the Robert Mueller and Andrew Weissmann coverup operation.
Danchenko was represented by the same lawyers representing Hillary Clinton because at the heart of Danchenko’s intent was an effort to support Hillary Clinton in the 2016 October surprise they were constructing using fabricated claims of Trump colluding with Russia to win the election.
ALEXANDRIA, Virginia — A jury has found Russian national Igor Danchenko not guilty on four false statements charges, declining to convict him for the allegations that the main source of British ex-spy Christopher Steele had lied to the FBI about his sourcing for the discredited anti-Trump dossier.
The jury reached their decision on Tuesday after less than two days of deliberations, delivering John Durham another defeat in his long-running investigation of the Trump-Russia investigators, after the special counsel lost another false statements case against a Clinton campaign lawyer in May.

Washington DC protects itself.
