Special council John Durham has obtained hundreds of emails between the Evita campaign and the compliant press. These emails contained what Durham says "triggered a sizeable outflow of unverified derogatory information into the media, the government, and the public about Donald Trump,that the compliant press dutifully reported to create the false Russia collusion narrative. He has now filed them in court.

In a novel use of legal Jui jitsu ; the defense claims that these falsehoods and slanders were funneled to the press by people legally representing Evita ;that the content should fall under" attorney-client privilege" ;"that Fusion GPS’s political opposition research – which triggered a sizeable outflow of unverified derogatory information into the media, the government, and the public – was, in reality, confidential expert work intended to support legal advice regarding libel and defamation.

Durham correctly points out that since the campaign distributed the lies to 3rd party press that they already made the lies public.
The conspirators in the press knew it was lies but continued to report them as fact for 2 years after the 2016 election when Mueller himself found no grounds to the lies.

They are still engaging in a cover up by not reporting in any great detail the findings of the Durham investigation.

This latest filing details several contacts between Evita's campaign ,Fusion GPS and the compliant press like the Slimes, ABC News ,and lib mouthpiece Slate Magazine. (pages 9-11 in the link provided )

They later included the Wall Street Journal .

Durham details how the Evita campaign then directed the press to public officals to get reaction to keep the story going .They urged a WSJ reporter to "call [a named U.S. Representative] or [a named U.S. Senator]," stating, "I bet they are concerned about what [Trump Advisor-1] was doing other than giving a speech over 3 days in Moscow."

Durham is showing convincingly that the compliant press , the Dem and swamp establishment along with some high ranking elements in U.S intelligence worked together to perpetrate the false Russia story in 2016 .These were the same forces that got together 4 years later to brand the Hunter Biden laptop as nothing but Russian disinformation.

The hundreds of emails demonstrate that not only Fusion GPS was feeding the stories to the compliant press, but they were correcting; editing, and doing copy writing for reporters who were getting Pulitzer Prizes for their work. These reporters and paper editors knew that Fusion GPS was linked to the Evita campaign and still they went ahead with advancing the false narrative. The truth is out there for all to see; anyone can do a net search and find these false reports, and still the publications and reporters don't apologize, or print corrections.

Given that ,why should we believe anything they publish about the upcoming Russia gate trials ?

What I have been saying for years here ,that the compliant press is just the propaganda wing of the DNC and the radical left has been exposed by John Durham.
Previously I was only able the piece this together like an intricate jig saw puzzle relying on the few (mostly now censored ) commentators ,honest reporters (like Lee Smith Amazon - The Plot Against the President: The True Story of How Congressman Devin Nunes Uncovered the Biggest Political Scandal in U.S. History: Smith, Lee: 9781546085027: Books

,and public officials like Devin Nunes ;now boss at Truth media The TRUTH is out there... (askmehelpdesk.com)

who were willing to stick their necks out to reveal the truth.

What is sad is that the American people seem largely to yawn and then go on about their business. And committed liberal dems see no problems here at all, in the same way that they are unconcerned about the Disinformation Ministry. But I suppose that once a country learns to live with abortion for any reason at any time, then practically everything else becomes considerably less than a big deal.

What is also sad is that the atmosphere has become so toxic against Russia in US politics that the only considered outcome is now total defeat of Russia . Public leaders like Trump who dare to suggest a negotiated settlement could be reached are branded stooges ,and Putin hirelings . We will fight Russia to the last Ukrainian.

Putin doesn't want a negotiated settlement! He wants Ukraine et al. and the eventual reestablishment of the U.S.S.R.

How would you know ? And even if that is true ;there is a difference between desired outcome and accepted outcome .

His braggadocio about the threat of using nukes is a classic case of escalate to deescalate . But if his bluff is called and there is no way out ;he will use them .

During the Cuban crisis we went to the brink. A settlement was reached against a crazier Russian leader than Putin is .Russia removed nukes from Cuba and we removed nukes from Turkey .

As I have mentioned in the past ,right or wrong ,NATO expansion to Russia's borders played a key role in their current policies . He saw the Warsaw pact as the very buffer against NATO's expansion . We call NATO peaceful . Was NATO peaceful in Serbia ? Was NATO peaceful in Libya ? Or did Evita boast "we came ,we saw ,he died "

What do you see as a "victory " against Putin that does not involve giving him a death sentence ? Western leaders have called him a war criminal and have called for regime change . It is the West that is tossing the 'unconditional surrender' language around .

If Putin wanted a negotiated settlement, he would have said so by now!

This article contains some interesting points.

https://thehill.com/opinion/internat...t-putin-wants/

How many civilian deaths would a leader need to be responsible for in order to be branded and treated as a war criminal?

I see your point about a negotiated settlement, but if it includes territorial gains, and it likely would, then wouldn't that serve as an impetus for other rogue leaders to do likewise?

So we are talking total victory then ? Be prepared for weapons to drop that have not been used yet . Ukraine can't win this war without direct NATO intervention .

What the press is not telling you is that in phase 2 Russia is achieving it's objective as I described in March and in even earlier postings .

The end of Putin? (askmehelpdesk.com)

Why does Clueless want a war with Russia ? (askmehelpdesk.com)

It is not the quick surgical victory we pretend to believe we achieve . The battle for Donbas has been brutal ; more resembled early 20th century warfare . (we raised little objection when Russia adopted said strategies in Grozny Chechnya or in Syria when we punted security to Russia ) Russia has used the meat grinder and is slowly winning the battle of Donbas .Mariupol will fall soon and the Ukraine forces east of the Dnipro river have been largely cut off.
Somewhere in the next 2 weeks I predict peace talks will initiate with Russia's aims being largely a fait accompli .

The question is how does NATO and Ukraine define win ? As noted in other posts Zelinski has already put territory concessions and ending Ukraine's ambition of joining NATO on the table for negotiations . What does NATO and the US want ? General Miley says what is at stake is the "international security order " established after WWII ? What does that mean ? The UN ? a broken institution . NATO "defense " ? After the Cold War Nato became expansionist .
What he really means is US guarantees of the world peace. If I am correct ;I don't think or believe we have the means or the desire to be the world peace guarantor .

What bothers Putin is not NATO enlargement, but the prospect of encirclement by states increasingly committed to the rule of law. That’s where Ukraine was headed.

That is nonsense . What bothers Putin is

78 Days of Fear: Remembering NATO’s Bombing of Yugoslavia | Balkan Insight

Why did Putin attack Ukraine?

Did you not read what I wrote ? The primary reason was to over throw a government that was seeking to join NATO .Personally I don't believe he would have followed through until Clueless signaled to him during his incoherent rambling statement on January 19 that if Putin did a "minor incursion " that our response would be equally "muted "

This came right after our disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan . Clueless showed feckless weakness.


Words coming from Presidents and senior U.S. officials matter . 2 examples Truman's Sec State Dean Acheson gave a speech that outlines America's interests in Asia . He mentioned Japan, its island chain extending southward (including Okinawa), and the Philippines. He failed to mention South Korea . North Korea took that as a signal that an invasion south would not provoke an American response.
1990
US ambassador to Iraq April Gilespie said to Saddam that the US has "no opinion on the Arab-Arab conflicts, like your border disagreement with Kuwait." He took that as a signal that the US was ok with him invading Kuwait .

Putin was goaded into invading by an American President who wanted this war . Putin blundered by taking Clueless' signals that the US and NATO's reactions would be muted . Putin has been called a war criminal and Clueless has called for Putin's removal . Sen Graham called for his assassination.

Putin saw the war an inevitable . For 4 years the Democrats and Republican war hawks have wanted this war to retaliate for the false narrative that Putin used Trump as a Manchurian candidate . As I mentioned there have even been war hawks in Washington like the late John McCain that have wanted a show down with Russia since the fall of the Soviet Union.

It does seem clear that a negotiated settlement of some sort is the best Ukraine can hope for. They seem unlikely to win militarily, and their country is being steadily reduced to piles of rubble. The sooner they get the best that can be hoped for, then the better off they will be. I suppose it is just a nauseating truth of current history.

if it is any solace ;I don't know what is real. I'm used to reporters being on the ground giving live updates . I'm not used to politicians waltzing into war zones ;no body armor ,weaing high heals and getting photo ops before taking a train back . In Baghdad and Kabul US politicians snuck in and out and were dressed with the best body armor available. Seems all the news is heavily filtered before reaching us . Even social media has been heavily censored. I find very few posts by people with alt views. That makes me suspicious . It is almost like watching a reality tv episode

The final Durham report is released and it is damning all to so many people ;insitutions especially law enforcement and the compliant press . No one gives a d+mn .

The report falls short in it's conclusions. It faults the FBI process without concluding that the FBI intentionally set out to knee cap Trump's campaign and later Trump's Presidency .

“We conclude that the Department and the FBI failed to uphold their important mission of strict fidelity to the law,” it said.

FBI Faulted for Its Probe of Russian Meddling in 2016 Campaign - WSJ

Wrong ;the FBI took the lead in the fabrication of the facts and ignored evidence to the contrary . Senior FBI officials all but admitted their intention was to get Trump and to elect Evita .

As former Rep and current boss at Truth Social;Devin Nunes said

"The Department of Justice and the FBI are solely owned by the Democratic Party and their propaganda regime."

Indeed .....Trump was a victim who was targeted by a seditious conspiracy by the emperor, Quid Pro Joe , Evita and their Deep State allies.

Durham on the other hand is enabling the truth to be white washed and buried .

'Russia case' against Trump was a shocking conspiracy that continues today (nypost.com)

Even some of the compliant press has admitted what we knew was true for 6 years.

Trump was right: 'Russian collusion' was a hoax. Good luck regaining public's trust. (msn.com)

The speed and manner in which the FBI opened and investigated Crossfire Hurricane during the presidential election season based on raw, unanalyzed, and uncorroborated intelligence also reflected a noticeable departure from how it approached prior matters involving possible attempted foreign election interference plans aimed at the Clinton campaign.

(page 3 of the Executive Summary )

Report on Matters Related to Intelligence Activities and Investigations Arising Out of the 2016 Presidential Campaigns (justice.gov)

The problem is that it reads like a history book and not a report by a Special Council who had the power of law enforcement on his side. I thought his 2 attempts at prosecution (and one conviction of lying based on a plea deal) were half hearted at best. He never even interviewed the principles at the FBI who were the decision makers (Comey ;McCabe ,Strzok ).

Despite claims that they have cleaned up their acts ;the DOJ and the FBI are as corrupt and politicized as ever.

So Trump was right. There was no Russian collusion. Turns out that the only collusion was the collusion to make it appear that there was Russian collusion.

This report does not recommend any wholesale changes in the guidelines and policies that the Department and the FBI now have in place to ensure proper conduct and accountability in how counterintelligence activities are carried out. Rather, it is intended to accurately describe the matters that fell under our review and to assist the Attorney General in determining how the Department and the FBI can do a better, more credible job in fulfilling its responsibilities, and in analyzing and responding to politically charged allegations in the future. Ultimately, of course, meeting those responsibilities comes down to the integrity of the people who take an oath to follow the guidelines and policies currently in place, guidelines that date from the time of Attorney General Levi and that are designed to ensure the rule of law is upheld. As such, the answer is not the creation of new rules but a renewed fidelity to the old. The promulgation of additional rules and regulations to be learned in yet more training sessions would likely prove to be a fruitless exercise if the FBI's guiding principles of "Fidelity, Bravery and Integrity" are not engrained in the hearts and minds of those sworn to meet the FBI' s mission of "Protect[ing] the American People and Uphold[ing] the Constitution of the United States."

The above reference to AG Levi

He was appointed by Ford as AG after Watergate. Prior to Watergate and Levi's term ,the FBI had been extensively using domestic surveillance operations.Levi instituted rules to eliminate abuses associated with the operations.
Durham paraphrases Levi ‘Nothing,’ former Attorney General Levi warned, ‘can more weaken the quality of life or more imperil the realization of the goals we all hold dear than our failure to make clear by words and deed that our law is not the instrument of partisan purpose.’

Farewell Remarks of The Honorable Edward H. Levi Attorney General of the United States Before The Employees of the U.S. department of Justice, 3:30 p.m., Monday, January 17, 1977, The Great Hall, U.S. Department of Justice, Washington, D.C.

Flashback summer and fall 2016 . The FBI is "investigating " Evita's use of a private server to conduct government business . It is believed that she may have unintentionally allowed Russia to hack it .

After a visit by Bubba to Att General Loretta Lynch on the tarmac of the Sky Harbor Airport in Phoenix , FBI Director James Comey makes a big public display in pronouncing that he would not charge Evita because no "reasonable" prosecutor would bring charges.

The campaign proceeds into the fall .

11 Days before the election he announces that due to more evidence he would re-open the investigation. They had discovered in their investigation of sex predator Congressman Anthony Weiner that some of Evita's private server emails were on her assistant ,Huma Weiner Abedin's phone. He had been "sexting" with a 15-year-old girl.
Then Nov 6 ;2 days before the election, Comey again closed the case.

To this day Evita and her sycophants blame Comey for her losing to Trump.

There may be some truth to that .But the Durham report tells us as Paul Harvey used to say "the rest of the story"

“The speed and manner in which the FBI opened and investigated Crossfire Hurricane during the presidential election season based on raw, unanalyzed, and uncorroborated intelligence reflected a noticeable departure from how it approached prior matters involving possible attempted foreign election interference plans aimed at the Clinton campaign.”

As an example the FBI thought that her campaign could fall victimbecause foreign donations had been arranged . The FBI warned off the person who arranged the donation and then gave Evita's lawyers a " defensive briefing " . They gave her 2 such briefings.

In contrast Crossfire Hurricane was initiated due to unverified off the cuff comments about Russians having access to Evita's emails made by Trump staffer George Papadopoulos in a bar to an Aussie Diplomat. Then Foreign Minister Alexander Downer ;a Clinton crime family ally sent a message to the FBI .Downer had previously arranged a $25 million donation from Australia to the Clinton Foundation Haiti aid program .
This happened while Evita was a Senator and Sec State.

The vague message Downer sent to the FBI was that Papadopoulos" suggested the Trump team had received some kind of suggestion from Russia that it could assist this process with the anonymous release of information during the campaign that would be damaging to Mrs. Clinton (and President Obama).”

The FBI went into full investigation mode without offering Trump's campaign the same courtesy of a 'defensive briefing ' . The memo from Downer was the sole reason needed to open Crossfire Hurricane. They never even bothered interviewing the diplomat before launching the investigation.

They also of course based much of their information of opposition research provided by Evita's campaign. They used the Steele dossier to obtain FISA warrants without even attempting verification . We now know that it was mostly made up by Igor Danchenko .

An FBI official told Durham.“They were pretty ‘tippy-toeing’ around HRC because there was a chance she would be the next President.”

As an example ;There were 3 separate field office investigations into the Clinton Crime Family Foundation by 2016 .

But in February 2016 ;Comey and McCabe held a meeting where they urged the field offices to back off. Any “overt investigative steps” would require sign-off from McCabe.

May 2016 Comey told the NY field office to back down.

The Mueller report stated clearly that in speaking with Downer, Papadopoulos never mentioned emails. Neither Downer nor Papadopoulos ever claimed that Papadopoulos spoke of emails.Papadopoulos did not tell Downer that Russia was planning "to publish" damaging information about Evita.

Why do I have the funny feeling that all of this will simply be swept under the rug and rather soon left behind?

It should be the final nail in the coffin of the Trump collusion conspiracy . But it won't . The narrative is cemented in the mind of the lefty moon-bats and that is where it will stay . My only satisfaction is that after 7 years of debating against lie after lie about it I can definitively say I was right and that when the truth was revealed ,it was worse than I ever imagined .
