Like the Benghazi “investigations”? Is this another case of “The investigation isn’t over until we get the results we want!”?
Its preparation was funded by the Hillary campaign. Rodney Joffe, who is alleged to have been promised a position in the Clinton administration, was the Tech Executive who ‘iuncovered’ the informtion. It was then shopped around by Fusion GPS and taken to the FBI by Sussman, who filed to disclose the source of the information. It was garbage evidence and very quickly dismissed by the FBI.
However, as soon as the FBI accepted it, the Hillary campaign leaked that ‘an official FBI investigation’ had been opened into Trump/Russia ties. Which was probably the plan in the first place.
Perhaps you’ll accept The Nation as a source:
This is a special prosecutor investigation, not a bullshit political hearing by a bunch of congresspeople looking to make political hay. It will have the same reporting requirements Mueller had.
This is false. Why on Earth do you believe this? The researchers who found the anomaly were not funded by the Clinton campaign.
Rodney Joffe was not the person who found the anomaly. Joffe did, once in email, make a joke about being put in charge cyber security or some such for the Clinton administration. It was aa joke. He wasn’t really offered any such job. Also Joffe was Sussmann’s client which means he was paying Sussmann. The money is flowing in the wrong direction for this research to have been funded by Clinton.
Things simply did not go down the way you are claiming they did and all these points have already been made in this thread. Where are you getting these ideas? Your source is misleading you.
The STATUTE (not Statute) of Limitations doesn’t work that way. They have to indict within 5 years, mentioning her name in another indictment isn’t going to change that. Besides, Sussman was indicted at the last possible moment on the “lying to the FBI” charge, at that time the actions he was allegedly lying about were quite obviously already out of reach, because you can’t lie about something that hasn’t happened yet.
Hillary Clinton did not orchestrate the Alfa Bank story. We know that for a fact now.
Revisiting this in the light of day…
It is one thing to have believed the Clinton campaign funded the DNS researchers that got the ball rolling for he Alfa Bank story when John Durham put out his misleading indictment and people like Kash Patel were lying about it to any media outlet that would listen.
It is astounding, and borderline sad, that anyone still believes that the Clinton campaign funded those DNS researchers after the truth has been laid bare in the trial.
As I’ve noted before, all allegations of witness tampering, destruction of evidence, etc. that Mueller alleged against Trump and his allies squarely falls under Durham’s mandate by Bill Barr. He’s tasked with investigating all interference in the Crossfire Hurricane investigation and the Mueller investigation. The second half of the Mueller report effectively says, “I wasn’t really able to investigate my thing because of a variety of interference.”
If there is anything more from Durham after investigating the Clinton side of things, it would have to be on the Trump side of things and we already have a fairly good sense of where that would lead, I suspect.
I don’t think that we should expect that, but it would be the clear continuation, if we go simply by his marching orders.
You and who else ‘know’ this?
Thank you.
I am continually disappointed at the ignorant assertion that the Steele Dossier was wrong.
My experience is that people who make this claim haven’t read it and have no idea of what’s actually in it.
The garbage false narrative arising from the Trump side states this as “fact.” They really don’t know what they’re talking about.
Even after the Laffer Curve, Jade Helm 15, Benghazi, etc.?
I know. I know.
Sen. Blackburn (R-TN) asked Trump appointed FBI director, Christopher Wray, if the allegation that there was collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia was a hoax. Wray has a chance here to make the right wing fever dreams a reality by declaring the whole thing a hoax.
Instead he says, “That’s not the word I would use.”
Prosecutor Andrew Defilppis withdraws from Danchenko trial about six weeks before the trial is scheduled to begin.
Charlie Savage (NYT) Tweet:
Lance, my friend, be forewarned for the peals of laughter may scare your pets:
In a just released filing, Durham reveals he has no idea where Millian is. He may be in Dubai. Who knows? Not Durham.
I follow Marcy on Twitter so I’ve already seen those Tweets, but Durham’s latest filing is hilarious so thanks for sharing here.
Here’s a particularly excellent quote:
Millian also had no motive to lie about his knowledge of the defendant in July 2016.
Oh, no motive to lie. Why didn’t you say so? Of course will make a hearsay exception for a man with no motive to lie.
It’s been a bad month so far for Russia hoax conspiracy theories dressed up as indictments and lawsuits.
First Carter Page’s $75 million lawsuit against everyone who had anything to do with his FISA warrant was dismissed.
Then Trump’s lawsuit against Hillary Clinton, the DNC, and anyone who ever met anyone who uttered the words Trump and Russia on the same day was similarly dismissed.
Fun fact: any lawsuit or indictment that relies on Trump Russia collusion being a hoax is doomed to fail.
Here’s why… We know there was collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia. There’s several instances laid out in the Mueller report. It’s all right there in black and white.
Marcy makes my first point better than I did.
That’s not even quoting the same part that I did. In multiple places Durham claims that we should believe out of court statements by a witness he can’t find because that witness had “No motive to lie.”
Stunningly bad law talking there John.
Am I reading this correctly that this person who has “left the United States due to threats on his and his family’s personal safety because of his alleged role in the Steele reports.” Has “no motive to lie” about not having a role in the Steele reports?
Yes. Yes you are.
OK good to know. Then I assume that his avoidance of tall buildings and habit of running a Geiger counter over his food before eating is just a personality quirk.
