The Appointment of John Durham is Encouraging

I did not have much hope that any justice would be done against the attempted Deep State coup against Donald Trump. (And if you think I am wearing a tin foil hat by saying there was a Deep State attempted coup, get your fat head out of the sand.)

But Attorney General Barr’s appointment of John Durham to investigate the investigation encourages me.  Durham has a well known record of blowing the cover on FBI corruption and is respected by people in both parties – although expect DemocRATS to scurry and scream if he gets too close to the truth and issues indictments.

What is not as well known is that St. Robert Mueller – that holy oh-so special prosecutor that MUST NOT be criticized – St. Robert was knee deep in the corruption of an infamous Boston FBI case Durham broke.  The FBI knowingly let four innocent men take the rap for murder to cover for their informant.  And Mueller worked to keep them in prison.

By the way, earlier this week I again had a situation in which information inconvenient to the Washington establishment was difficult to come by.  I could not find much on Mueller’s unethical Boston conduct until I came across this on Zero Hedge. Again, funny how the search engines can be unhelpful in such situations.

Anyway, S. Noble’s piece is eye opening, both on how St. Robert is not so saintly and on how Durham is not afraid to expose Deep State corruption:

…It was Mueller, first as an assistant US attorney then as the acting U.S. attorney in Boston, who wrote letters to the parole and pardons board throughout the 1980s opposing clemency for the four men framed by FBI lies. Of course, Mueller was also in that position while Whitey Bulger was helping the FBI cart off his criminal competitors even as he buried bodies in shallow graves along the Neponset…”

Durham got two surviving men released (The other two died in prison.), and he got an FBI crook put away for ten years. Sadly, Mueller continued his career as a corrupt prosecutor unhindered and went on to further corrupt the FBI as Director.

Do read the article for yourself.  And do keep an eye on John Durham.  He just might get two or more Deep State traitors fitted in orange after all.  It’s a shame one of them will probably not be Mueller.  

This is Damning: Comey and Co. Were Warned about Steele Dossier But They Lied to the FISA Court Anyway.

John Solomon’s report yesterday is damning.  In October 2016, James Comey's FBI was warned by Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Kathleen Kavalec that Christopher Steele and his Dodgy Dossier were not to be trusted. She warned that Steele was unreliable to the point of absurdity:

She quoted Steele as saying, “Payments to those recruited are made out of the Russian Consulate in Miami,” according to a copy of her summary memo obtained under open records litigation by the conservative group Citizens United. Kavalec bluntly debunked that assertion in a bracketed comment: “It is important to note that there is no Russian consulate in Miami.”

Kavalec, two days later and well before the FISA warrant was issued, forwarded her typed summary to other government officials. The State Department has redacted the names and agencies of everyone she alerted. It is unlikely that her concerns failed to reach the FBI.

Yet Comey and Co. in getting the okay to spy on Trump later swore to the FISA court that Steele’s “reporting has been corroborated” and that the FBI has determined him to be “reliable.” 

Now I guess it is possible that Comey and friends were so clueless that they missed Kavalec’s e-mail and really thought Steele was “reliable,” but that is very unlikely.

So what we probably have here is lying to a FISA court to get a warrant to spy on a U. S. citizen for political reasons.  If so, Comey belongs behind bars.

Yes, I said it.

Democrats are SHOCKED, SHOCKED That the FBI Spied on Trump Campaign

Or to be more exact than the headline, Democrats are shocked, shocked that Attorney General Barr actually had the candor to say “Yes, I think spying did occur” by the FBI against the Trump campaign in 2016:

“I think spying on a political campaign is a big deal,” Barr said during a Senate Appropriations Committee hearing Wednesday when asked by Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.) why he was investigating the FBI’s counterintelligence probe of the Trump campaign.

Incredulous, Shaheen asked Barr a follow-up question: “You’re not suggesting though that spying occurred?” she pressed.

“I think spying did occur. Yes, I think spying did occur," Barr replied matter-of-factly.

Now back in May of last year I told you the FBI spied on the Trump campaign.  But what do I know. I’m just a humble almost unknown blogger with tendencies toward sanity, common sense and other annoying traits.

The faux outrage from Democrats at Barr’s candor is amusing. So do go amuse yourself. But remember . . . 

I told you so.

Post-Mueller Report Weekend Thoughts

I hesitate to post anything about this past weekend’s release of the Mueller Report.  So much has been said by others already.  But I’ve commented on the attempted coup against Trump in a number of venues, so I feel like I should say something.

First and most important, yes, there has been – and, as William Jacobson points out, will continue to be – an attempted coup against Trump and against constitutional democracy.  An alterego called it such very early, well before Trump was inaugurated, and events since have borne out that evaluation well.  Further the coup came from the depths of the FBI and the CIA in the Obama Administration.  As tinfoil hattish as that may all sound, there is hardly any denying it now.

For the sake of our future as a country, there has to be a price to pay for this.  I agree with Kimberly Strassel and others that the role of the FBI, the DOJ, and the CIA among others must be investigated and am glad to see Sen. Lindsey Graham seems rather eager to do just that. But I am not holding my breath that justice will be done in Congress or the courts.  There is too much a two-tier justice system in place.  That there has not been one indictment for the corruption of the Obama Administration speaks volumes about that.

So justice will have to carried out at the ballot boxes in 2020 in both the primaries and general elections. Democrats and their RINO faux conservative enablers must be punished.  I fear for our future as a country if they are not.  The political punishment has to be so severe that in the future, the likes of Obama, Hillary, Comey, Brennan, Clapper, Schiff etc. will think twice about attempting a coup against the people, their votes, and their constitutional democracy.  I suspect the current attempted coup will end only then.

Reality Check: The FBI Spied on the Trump Campaign

For any who may think my concerns about the revival of totalitarianism may be overwrought or paranoid, I present a reality check: the FBI under Obama and Comey spied on the Trump campaign.  There’s really no denying that anymore.

Let me put it a different way.  The FBI under Obama and Comey spied on political opponents in the midst of a presidential election campaign.

I thought this was the U. S. A., not the U. S. S. R.
