We're supposed to do what the Judge is doing and trust prosecutors, some of whom who have specifically engaged in withholding information from the defense in cases in their pasts, to be completely honest with the court that the defense wouldn't benefit from evidence they have or have access to.

Mueller claimed in his congressional appearance that he had never heard of fusion/gps.

Nothing official, based upon a WaPo article, per former & current law enforcement officials.

Interesting thread about the above WaPo article's author, someone we know -- Devlin Barrett.

.....I just want to point out that reporters like Devlin have been used to get out ahead of a bad story to try and blunt what is coming. Like the texts, like the IG report, etc. So let's all take a deep breath and wait for more information.

Here is an excerpt from Time....
Quote:

A separate investigation by the U.S. Attorney in Utah, John Huber, which had been examining the FBI's surveillance of Page, and other FBI conduct, has been "subsumed" into Durham's, according to the Justice Department official.
Hmm. Durham is now in charge of FBI "misconduct".

And he's a damn liar. It would be sweet justice if he ever got caught in a lie and faced harsh consequences.

Instead, he lives in the untouchable DC bubble.

Still waiting to hear from Barr as to what his department has recommended on Flynn.
https://www.politico.com/news/2020/01/07/doj-michael-flynn-jail-six-months-095584

A few days ago, the DOJ recommended a jail sentence ranging between 0 and 6 months for Flynn.

Just like Ollie North did long before him, Michael Flynn will eventually make a lot of money by capitalizing on his fame as one of the rightwing's convicted felon hero-martyrs. Maybe Flynn will even lead the NRA someday or run for U.S. Senator.

Actually, the prosecution is headed by U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, Jessie Liu. He would have made the call on the change of sentencing request.

And all for misleading statements to the FBI that the agents themselves believed were inadvertently made, and over something his business partners were found not guilty of, and for much less consequential false or misleading statements than several senior current and former FBI and DOJ officials have recently made to federal investigators.

I wonder if Andy McCabe will be recommended for 0-6 months for the misleading statements he made to federal investigators.

Don't hold your breath on that one. He's a swamp creature that gets to get away with lying. You need an R by your name to be charged with perjury in the swamp.

Also, don't feed the troll.

Another decline to prosecute. For leaking sensitive info to the press. Ridiculous.

You know, we just had, well, something pass about five miles to the southwest of here with sirens going off, and your news bothers me even more than the roof getting beat to death from hail or a tornado (the warning is over).

Now, I have about 90% to 95% faith in Barr/Durham based on nine months, or so, of comments and actions. However, some of this crap is beginning to bother my normally sunny outlook on Barr/Durham. I certainly hope they, like us on this thread, believe much bigger and better things are to come. But dammit, it's not the way I was planning on starting my weekend.

Oh BTW, the way they Iranians have moved all of the wreckage/black box/news out of the view of the snoopy West, ti very much reminds me of something any Dem/Dem acolyte has been doing for the last ten years, and certainly in the House.

No one is going to face charges or go to prison.

At most a few people might get fired or lose their pension, but that will be it.

Short of a 50 megaton nuke, nothing is capable of cleaning up DC.

Professor Cleveland is spot on: The FISC was complicit in the FBI abuses identified in Horowitz's Report on FISA Abuse. The FBI laundered gossip from the Primary Subsource "word of mouth and hearsay", "conversation that [he/she] had with friends over beers" & statements made in "jest" as verified intel in a FISA application, & the FISC bought it. The FBI would never have done that unless they knew from experience that there would be no serious scrutiny of their thesis.

The Swamp controls everything.

You know I've gotten a kick outta the folks who thought Trump was going to drain the swamp, knowing that he could make a serious dent. A lot of this has to do with some of the advising Trump has gotten, as he's allowed folks like Wray to continue making Trump's job more difficult. Every victory seems to turn into a Pyrrhic victory.

It's often hard to tell which of these imbeciles like Kris, Boasberg, and Roberts are bent, or just helplessly naive about human nature and the events happening around them.

I think if I were Trump, I'd probably resign! Damn! Trump better by god be in Barr's ear!

This is interesting. Sharyl Attkisson has been blessed with a whistleblower who has fingered Rod Rosenstein & Shawn Henry as being behind the government's unlawful electronic surveillance of her including computer & phone cyber-infiltration back in 2012 -- which the government steadfastly denied in the past. Has overtones of SpyGate, not to mention the players involved. Sundance addresses her new court filing.

Rapier108 is right. The constant expectation of prison time for some of these culprits is futile. At this point, even formal charges affirming everything at least for the public might be surprising. Best can really expect is a cleaning house in a way somewhat similar to the Toricelli one back in the 70's after another round of agency abuses (even though that was overdone -- so not a good thing) The Democratic Party is no less corrupt than the Russians they constantly demonize while making side deals with China.

I know your right Titan but man it's hard to swallow this bullsh*t. DC is completely devoid of integrity, honesty and character. I'm disgusted.

Well the Democratic Party and its water carriers certainly is devoid of any. And a good bit of the entrenched Repubs too, but some of them seem better than that. If the country wakes up to the fact its a kleptocratic party things may improve. The vote is the only means, and it can only be wielded by ignoring the drumbeat of the media and voting common sense.

True, that;

But we must also somehow overcome certain learned methods for triggering a "count" of mail-in / absentee provisional ballots which seems to spawn from all sorts of "secure storage" facilities, including Hellman's Mayonnaise jars, Public Storage, Dr. Snipes lower-left Desk drawer and some campaign worker's car trunk.

Not to mention the well-oiled machine for "preparing" these ballots for storage / archiving...as in copying...

No, I'm not suspicious...not at all...

The author of the WaPo article is Devlin Barrett, who has been running interference for the swamp since Trump entered office. DOJ said the investigation is ongoing when asked about it. So I would just wait until something comes out from someone using "Former and Current officials"

Saw that yesterday, and couldn't understand why there wasn't more news about it, until I saw Barrett's name attached. As far as I'm concerned, Barrett's all in (as if he wasn't before), but possibly has his job on the line if Durham finds severely unscrupulous behavior that even WAPO wouldn't tolerate.

Due to the fact that WAPO management could sneak into the WH and record all private conversations with impunity says a lot, so we'll see what happens.

David Kris as an amicus (also noted it was posted above)? What an utterly pathetic farce the FISA court, and Department of Justice in toto is.

Well that's a different problem entirely. Massive voter fraud. All the people can do is try to vote---but whatever can be demanded about making the process more secure should be. Voter ID is arguably the least example.
