Waiting for the Durham’s been doing nothing brigade to show their typical negativity to every bit of good news.....3......2.....1....
It’s more likely durham is cleaning-up the last bits of evidence that comey, sessions, barr and wray might of missed under they guise of a investigating.
I am not convinced Durham has been doing nothing, but one can understand why people are impatient about getting some arrests and justice from the ‘protected class’. The time to build a case just seems ridiculously long as compared to arrests, convictions, and sentencing of conservatives and Trump supporters for manufactured crimes.
The Durham report will be made public January 2025 when a certain you know who goes back to reside in the WH:-)
So, don't feel like I am attacking you, I am not. I understand your point of view here.
The point is, I don't believe it is fair or appropriate to characterize those people as "Seagull Posters" because they show up every time with extreme, often biting and scathing comments regarding this. (I fully admit that is MY characterization, not yours) But in my opinion, they have very valid reasons to have contempt for this process and an expectation of a just outcome. It is only good news if something happens, and the people responsible are held to account.
Everything else is hot air and posturing.
I refused to adopt the "nothing is going to happen" mantra for years, simply because I decided to wait and see what was going to happen. It wasn't because I was naive and believed that something was absolutely going to happen.
It was because I am an American, and I believed that we still lived in a Republic ruled by laws. I felt that if the light was shined on wrongdoing, that if it reached the point that illegality was seen in that light (which it CLEARLY was) that prosecution and punishment would be forthcoming.
And believe me. I followed it. I wasn't a passive "Well, let's see what happens tomorrow" kind of person. I read transcripts of interviews closed to the public after they were released via FOIA requests. I looked at the documents and testimony made available. I read interpretations of laws. I followed it closely and in detail.
What happened?
Nothing.
In every single case here (including the absurdity of the wiped phones highlighted in the post above by Anthony Soprano-see the link HERE about how this was accomplished) there was not just ample evidence-there was overwhelming evidence of illegality and lawbreaking, not to mention outright lying under oath, obstruction of justice, and deception.
It is astonishing to realize this. Anthony Soprano's post above at #10 is simply one, LONE example. There are dozens, if not hundreds of more acts that are just as egregious and "in your stupid sheep-like face" (as Leftists likely view it, that isn't saying YOU have a "stupid sheep-like face) and NOBODY has been punished at ANY level, except for ONE SINGLE PERSON who was likely used as a piece of stewing meat.
It didn't happen when we controlled the Presidency and the Senate. I don't blame people for even a second for thinking it won't happen now. Now, they control the Presidency, the House, the Senate, and all the committees. We saw how they operate when they gained control of the House, took control of the House Intelligence Committee, and then proceeded to schedule meetings at times the Republicans could not attend because they had conflicting meetings. The Republicans on those committees complained mightily, and got the equivalent of "Complain in one hand, crap in the other, and see which one fills up first" responses.
So, no. I will not condemn these people who feel that it is a farce. They may be wrong. And even I still hold out hope. But I recognize the futility.
We as Americans have a sacred contract with our Republican style of government. In exchange for the sacrifice of allowing ourselves to be governed, we ask two things of those that govern us: First, that we can fairly elect who those people are who will do the governing. Secondly, that those governing us will be required to observe the same laws that we as citizens do.
In both of these vital aspects of our sacred contract, they have both not only been ignored and violated, but they have been ignored and violated with an "in your face" contempt that is daring us to do anything about it, and we have not. And with each passing day, the likelihood that we will do it gets dimmer and dimmer.
Our contract by which we agree to be governed has been flagrantly violated, and our government is illegal in my eyes.
But don't be so quick to judge those who have lost any expectation of justice for government malfeasance. They have far more reason to support their stance, than people like you or I have to support ours.
