The Durham Investigation Thread

Nah a president would never gift official positions to their son or daughter…

Pretty sure I saw a movie once about the Cuban missile crisis and the role JFK’s brother played. I will look forward to hearing why that was totally different.

Only movie with Kevin Costner I recall liking.

I always wanted to try that! Never got the chance. :disappointed_relieved:

oh man.

Robert Kennedy:

He began his career as a correspondent for The Boston Post and as a lawyer at the [Justice Department](Ministry of justice - Wikipedia), but later resigned to manage his brother John’s successful campaign for the U.S. Senate in 1952. The following year, he worked as an assistant counsel to the Senate committee chaired by Senator Joseph McCarthy. He gained national attention as the chief counsel of the Senate Labor Rackets Committee from 1957 to 1959, where he publicly challenged Teamsters President Jimmy Hoffa over the corrupt practices of the union and authored The Enemy Within , a book about corruption in organized labor. Kennedy resigned from the committee to conduct his brother’s campaign in the 1960 presidential election. He was appointed United States Attorney General after the successful election and served as the closest advisor to the President from 1961 to 1963.[2]

Ivanka:

She is a fourth-generation businessperson who followed in the footsteps of her great-grandmother Elizabeth, grandfather Fred, and father, serving for a time as an executive vice president of the family-owned [Trump Organization](The Trump Organization - Wikipedia). She was also a boardroom judge on her father’s television show The Apprentice .[4][5][6]

Starting in March 2017, she left the Trump Organization and began serving in her father’s presidential administration as a senior adviser alongside her husband. She assumed this official, unpaid position after ethics concerns were raised about her having access to classified material while not being held to the same restrictions as a federal employee.[7][8][9] She was considered part of the president’s inner circle even before becoming an official employee in his administration.[

:rofl:

It could be worse, Devin Nunes was a dairy farmer!

… la fille de papa!

Could’ve been also ‘dancing with the stars’.

Typical libtard, disparaging dairy farmers.

Matt Gaetz was charged with DUI, refused a breathalyzer, and didn’t get a 1 year licence suspension for it though mandated by law. Also the cop who stopped him got fired and his dad was a Florida state senator and charges were dropped.

What’s next, hate for drunk white privilege? That’s the base yer attackin now!

Cracks are widening.

Nader’s name appears more than 100 times in Mueller’s report. It details Nader’s efforts to serve as liaison between a Russian banker with ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin and members of President Donald Trump’s transition team.

Nader is also under indictment in Washington along with seven others on charges of conspiring to conceal the source of more than $3.5 million in political donations to Hillary Clinton.

Blackmail much?

Nader is another one that needs to be on suicide watch, much like many others that have been doing operations for various administrations over the years, Stefan Halper goes back decades and Joseph Mifsud went into hiding around March 2017, not been seen since.

Wrote this on Nader earlier today

Short version of update.

Long version.

Quick translation for those who would like to spare some time. Court determines last 2 FISA applications were invalid, no ruling on first 2 yet. Want’s to know what information was gathered under these 2 FISA warrants, accessed by who and full inventory made.

Speculation on my part, Barr/Durham will determine the first 2 FISA warrants were also invalid. Full accounting of all information and persons involved, information was likely passed on to Mueller and is likely the same information Democrats are fighting in court to get their hands on. Would be too bad for Andrew Weissmann if he already passed all this on to the Democrats (which he likely has).

Nice, long article about what all really happened:

I see people are getting around to reading Lee Smith’s book.

Interesting development.

Update for those who don’t know Kathryn Ruemmler is AKA Obama’s fixer. She was also George Naders lawyer. See here , yes the same George Nader up on pedophilia charges. The same Geroge Nader that appears about 100 times in the Mueller report and the same George Nader who introduced associates of Trump to Russians. Amazing what you can get people to do once you have leverage on them.

Nader’s lawyer, Kathryn Ruemmler, declined comment.

That’s why Michael Cohen was using Lanny Davis (Clintons personal lawyer) as his lawyer, once they have leverage over you, they use their lawyer for control (you do what their lawyer tells you or else) and why Mike Flynn changed his lawyers and is now claiming his previous lawyers colluded with the prosecutors to set him up. Note also the firm that he claims set him up is headed by Eric Holder. See here

That’s how Andrew Weissmann manages to do what he is so famed for, getting people to turn on each other and rat each other out and even make stuff up and he has always worked so well with Kathryn Ruemmler in the past. See here

Kathryn Ruemmler, who served as White House counsel under former President Barack Obama, said Weissmann is willing to take risks to secure witness testimony that other prosecutors might not. Ruemmler worked with Weissmann on the Justice Department’s Enron task force that investigated the massive corporate fraud that led to the company’s 2001 collapse.

Except this time the curtain is lifted and we see the man behind who is pulling the levers. Neat trick except everyone is now wise to it.

A lawyer for Igor Danchenko, a 42-year-old Russian-trained lawyer who was born in Ukraine, confirmed to the New York Times that his client is the source after a blog, titled I Found the Primary Subsource, identified him, after which social media and RT, the Kremlin-sponsored news organization, promoted the findings.

Danchenko “repeated that these types of tasking [on the election matter] made him uncomfortable," and Steele “pushed” him "to try and either follow-up with people or corroborate the reporting, but Primary Subsource wasn’t able to do so,” according to the FBI document. Danchenko told the FBI that “attempts at getting corroboration on these subjects made him uncomfortable” because he was worried "about the Russians finding out about it.”

I think the FBI under Comey has helped a lot in that regard, too, Lisa.

“There’s no question that if Biden is elected, everything Durham has done at that point will be canceled out,” Swecker explained, adding that Biden would replace Barr and possibly even Durham. But by putting indictments and reports "into the public arena” before the election, Durham would put a Biden administration in the position of either taking further action or closing down his probe.
“It would make it very difficult for Biden’s appointees to undo his charges or bury the results of his probe,” he said. “John knows this and I fully expect he will take action before the election.”
Swecker, who’s also a former prosecutor, anticipates Durham will deliver criminal charges, a written report or some combination of the two around the first week in September, if not sooner. “He must get his work done and out to the public by Labor Day,” he said. "That way he avoids any accusations that he was trying to impact the election.

That’ll never happen. Pelosi and Schumer will be bitching out it before it’s printed out.
