I'm starting to seriously consider the idea that Durham has been blocked by Garland from pursuing other cases. The fact that he is personally involved in this case, and new facts are being exposed, suggests he might be using this case as a hedge against his Report being redacted.

If FBI offered $million to Steele to corroborate, how much did Steele offer Danchenko to corroborate?
This is another dog that didn't bark.
Unlike the last few trials, the process at this courthouse is different. They do not have each potential juror come up to the stand and question them.

Kash discussing the bomb dropped by Durham today. Do you see why Durham doesn't need convictions for these first trials? Look what is being entered into the record that the big dogs can't use attorney client priviledge to hide behind when RICO charges drop! pic.twitter.com/uAj9iDJQtj

Durham put up splitscreens of Dossier and FISA application wanting the jury to know there was cut and past phrases in FISA from dossier. Durham REALLY wanted this driven home.

The FBI's million dollar offer to Christopher Steele.
Sergei Millian being a prior FBI Source.
And - how it was a bad day for FBI leadership.https://t.co/baueCMAOwp
Sometimes, in some places, using registered voter rolls for jury pools is not the best idea to obtain a "neutral" jury.txags92 said:
The swamp will never vote to convict one of their own. Until we can get one of these trials out of the DC/Maryland/Northern VA courts, we will never see a jury convict a fed doing dirty work for the dems of anything.
Wait! Steele said Dolan was a source? So it wasn't merely Danchenko included stuff Dolan but Steele did too? Dolan, the Russia-connected, Clinton cronie. pic.twitter.com/mmX4OELJzK

It would be good to get a term for it. Outside of America it has plenty of analogs and precedents. Its what is called a `palace coup' or a `court conspiracy' where the the entourage and some designated successors intrigue and undermine the monarch, and then displace them.pacecar02 said:

With Durham's brutal questioning of witnesses, it might be hard to believe that, to score FISA warrants for @carterpage, Crossfire Hurricane team did something worse than using unverified Steele dossier. More tomorrow @FDRLST.

Attempted? Looks to me like a successful coup, if not for these action Trump would be President today.
Quote:
Surprise, surprise. The FBI is dragging its feet.
Yesterday the government asked for more time to respond to U.S. District Judge Amos Mazzant's September 29, 2022 order directing the FBI to produce all records related to Seth Rich's laptop. Somewhat relatedly, the FBI is withholding three reports produced by CrowdStrike in August of 2016 regarding the purported hack of the Democratic National Committee.
LINKQuote:
First the laptop. The FBI wants two more weeks so it can prepare a motion for reconsideration. As a courtesy, we have not objected to the request. According to the government's motion, "the FBI is uncertain how to comply with the Court's order as written, and the FBI is seeking input from a pending appellate consultation regarding the order to properly address this issue."
The order itself is pretty straightforward, at least with respect to Seth's personal laptop, because it directs the FBI to "produce the information it possesses related to Seth Rich's laptop and responsive to Plaintiff's FOIA requests within 14 days of this Order." On the other hand, the order does not discuss Seth's work laptop, which is also in the possession of the FBI.
I'm waiting for the FBI to explain what it thinks needs to be clarified, then I may be filing my own motion for clarification. Meanwhile, the FBI has cited only one narrow basis for withholding the records related to Seth's laptop, namely his privacy. I'm not sure why it takes four weeks and an appellate lawyer to figure out why the judge did or didn't get that issue right.
In any event, I'm reminded of something that I learned almost thirty years ago when I was a newspaper reporter: people with nothing to hide don't try to hide nothing.
From what @FOOL_NELSON and @TrustIsEarnd are reporting, rogue FBI agent Kevin Helson tried everything he could to protect Danchenko and destroy Durham's case from the witness stand.

Looks like Helson outed himself as a co-conspirator. https://t.co/0X8RCe0T3o

"And Auten admitted that he and Stephen Somma didn’t necessarily want to conduct a thorough interview of Danchenko at the time, thus explaining why they didn’t demand documents or ask about every allegation in the Steele Dossier."
NEW: A member of the FBI’s human intel validation unit suggested Danchenko might be a Russian spy & the unit said to vet the dossier source (especially related to a prior counter intel investigation into him) but Danchenko’s FBI handler declined to do so.https://t.co/4AIiFL03GX

2/2 I highlighted this as 18 substantial misrepresentation that OIG missed shortly after OIG report came out but from Durham's questioning we now know FBI had drilled Steele on sources & got enough to know or know it couldn't make representation it made. https://t.co/DtgATekjar
