Report: Durham Using Grand Jury To Investigate Debunked Trump-Russia Allegation
Daily Caller ^ | 10/8/2020 | chuck ross

U.S. Attorney John Durham has reportedly opened a new front in his investigation into the origins of the Trump-Russia probe.

According to a report, Durham is seeking grand jury testimony from computer scientists behind an allegation that Donald Trump’s real estate company had a secret communications channel with Alfa Bank.

The Alfa-Trump theory was first floated in October 2016, but was debunked in the Justice Department inspector general’s report on the FBI’s investigation of the Trump campaign.

Durham is also reportedly seeking the testimony of Daniel Jones, a former Senate Intelligence Committee investigator who partnered with Fusion GPS and Christopher Steele in 2017.

The U.S. attorney investigating the origins of the Trump-Russia probe is seeking grand jury testimony from a group of computer scientists behind a since-debunked allegation that Donald Trump’s real estate company had covert computer contacts with a Russian bank, according to a report.

The New Yorker reports that John Durham, the U.S. attorney for Connecticut, has contacted the scientists in recent weeks seeking their testimony.

According to the magazine, investigators have told potential witnesses they are investigating whether two pseudonymous computer experts gave false information to the U.S. government regarding a covert communications channel between the Russian bank, Alfa Bank, and the Trump Organization.

Hillary Clinton emphasized the allegation of a possible link between Trump and Alfa Bank when it appeared in the press days before the 2016 election.

Durham’s use of a grand jury to investigate the allegations about Alfa Bank indicates a new front in his sprawling probe.

Wait a minute, we already know about that bank. The FBI knew about that bank. There was a computer in the Trump towers that sent automatic investment ads directly to this Russian bank. It was an investment scheme that someone talked Trump into trying. The computer auto generated these investment ads and sent them. No one ever answered the ads and nothing else ever went out from the computer. I guess people at Trump tower just forgot that the computer was even there. But that was the supposed link to The Russian bank that the FBI was using to as an excuse to monitor everything at Trump tower. The FBI knew in June that the computer was a dead end.

The reference to Daniel Jones as a witness is significant because, after Trump was elected, he left Dianne Feinstein’s staff to organize a massive secret fund from wealthy Dem super-donors to get Trump out of office. I suspect that this fund was used to finance the impeachment and its bevy of lawyered up false witnesses and ginned up press coverage. Against all appearances, Durham may be onto clear, prosecutable crimes with a money trail that are integral to the coup effort against Trump.

If so fantastic. But, trust but verify.

“Sprawling probe” can’t be a good sign.

I believe Dianne Feinstein’s former primo staffer Mr. Jones was involved with Fusion GPS in the multi-pronged effort to take down President Donald Trump. Using two “Computer Experts” they concocted a scheme to link Donald Trump with Alfa Bank. They also used a willing anti-Trump publication to spread the story.
Now it appears Mr. Durham wants to interview the entire cabal. The cabal is resisting of course.

Durham was the Conn. Attorney.

But he’s probably working out of DC now.

His Grand Jury will be within an hour or so from where he is.

I’d guess Virginia vs DC.

Paul Sperry is one source for Durham hiring hard line Dems to the lead the Investigation, and a year later, the lead Investigator, a Never Trumper stepped down saying she felt pressure to actually do something.

Strzok hasn’t been interviewed.

The low level guy that was indicted showed up at their Office and said, don’t you want to talk to me?

His small sentence was moved until After the Election.

Everything has been moved to After the Election.

Like those hearings on Hunter Biden and Joe’s involvement.

Oh, I have no doubt that if there are any indictments, they will come after Nov 3rd. They missed the Sep 30 deadline of policy.

But Tom Fitton doesn’t know any more about what’s going on than you or I.

Looks like Durham is trying to find other avenues to slow the investigation to a crawl. It doesn’t take weeks to get a witness before a Grand Jury.

It does by Greyhound. Town by town across this great land of ours. Then skateboard and Razer Scooter--- 3 mph one.

“Will their findings be released before November 3, 2020?”

More likely November 3, 8080...

Let's hope "after the election" isn't replaced by "after CWII." Psychiatrists report record numbers of agitated, angry patients with election anxiety more than even 2016.

So investing the exact same fraudulent, seditious, treasonous, ruinous, taxpayer expensed, authoritarian left-wing international coup attempt — which literally and nearly caused an actual impeachment — and the left is still not giving up — Is false and BASELESS ???

What am I missing...?

More like November 20, 2023.

At one time, Virginia would have been perfect.

Now, he probably has a fifty fifty chance of getting anything from VA or DC, which is a shame, because those slimy traitors should be made to pay a price.

I would settle for ALL of them having their law licenses revoked and lost of pension. THAT could probably be made to happen.

I’m still confused. Is something bunk, then debunked? Or if it’s bunk, does it just stay bunk?
