Durham was a nothing burger. His conclusions? "Do better in following the existing rules."

Since his report essentially proves the entire government and current Administration was in on it, who was he supposed to refer charges to?

Ultimately, I think Durham did the best thing he could under the circumstances - lay out all the incontrovertible evidence in public and force the perpetrators to lie and squirm in front of the cameras. If Congress does not act after seeing the report then nothing can be done, anyway.

Durham convened a grand jury and indicted and tried two people, and lost both cases.

He had the power to convene another grand jury and indict any DOJ official that either sandbagged investigations in to Hillary and the Clintoon Foundation, or perpetrated ongoing FRAUD against the FISA courts with multiple renewals of FISA warrants.

But he didn't. Maybe he was gun-shy after going 0-2 against the Deep State, and seeing that FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith got community service and a temporary suspension of his law license for his part in altering a CIA email and submitting it to the FISA court to justify one FISA warrant renewal.

right

I’ve been pondering some of the hearings that pop up in the news all the time now, on covid, on SVB, on Jan 6, etc.

Some of the members of congress are great, namely, Jordan, Cruz, Hawley, and of course, Kennedy.

But everyone - and I’m including myself - is saying, enough talking, nothing is ever done, etc.

And that is true and we are all frustrated.

But a member of Congress can’t do anything (except theoretically defund...and I doubt that would even work....POTUS would just do an “executive order”).

A completely corrupt executive branch is unprecedented, and really, quite a problem.

There is currently nowhere to turn to.

Take a look at the article Sundance put together the other day for The Conservative Treehouse... it was posted on FR as well. There are a number of good articles there but I found this one to be particularly thought provoking as it pertained to the role that Durham served... https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2023/05/16/durham-found-zero-merit-to-trump-russia-claims-so-what-was-mueller-doing-for-two-years/
