Durham Explained

[struth]

Then refute it with the actual Durham Report.

there is no “Durham report”

he’s actually using indictments

 

[Rye Catcher]

Well, this seems to be the one editorial to make sense out of insensible jargon:

The Durham Report Is Vague Enough to Be Useful

It's complicated and opaque, enabling Donald Trump to call it "worse than Watergate."

www.esquire.com

So the hardcore campers and staff from the late Camp Runamuck have their plaything to occupy themselves as the evidence regarding the events of January 6 piles up and local prosecutors from New York to Atlanta begin to close in. John Durham, chaser of ghosts and hunter of mythical beasts, has issued his report, and it is serving its primary functions as both hobby-horse and diversion. Fox News is throwing itself a parade that may never end.

It all centers on a complicated tale regarding a financial institution called Alfa Bank. Marcy Wheeler has been dogging this story for years, and she has the essential details of how, as she put it, “a sketchy allegation became a crime.” It was to the advantage of Durham and his patrons, including the minions of the late and utterly unlamented Attorney General William Barr, for it to be so. Now Durham has upped the ante, and the flying monkeys are all aloft. Philip Bump of the Washington Post has an analysis of the current state of play. It’s a welter of impenetrable jargon and leaps of logic, so heavily weeded with complexities that one is well advised to read about it with a power saw handy. But Wheeler had the most succinct summation of the whole matter:

Effectively, John Durham has made it a crime for someone victimized by a Russian influence operation to try to chase down Russian influence operations.

But that’s the whole point—politically, anyway. It has to be vague and twisted and hard to understand, so that El Caudillo del Mar-a-Lago can call it “worse than Watergate” for the benefit of his various marks around the country. That’s what makes it useful. And as long as the investigations into him grind on slowly, he can throw out whatever cheap nonsense is floating through his brain that enough people will believe to maintain a rough equilibrium in the popular mind. The loyalists are already crowing about future “indictments” into this “deep conspiracy.” I would call these people “dead-enders” if it weren’t even-money that they’ll be running at least the House of Representatives by this time next year. I see instead an open road leading to god alone knows where, but no place good.

 

[toobfreak]

Why were Russian made smartphones near the White House?

Hillary dropped them there.

 

[Abatis]

Trump said Obama wiretapped his phones. That was and remains total bullshit.

No one was reading anyone's texts. No one was reading anyone's emails. No one was reading anything anyone wrote on the internet.

Uhhhhhhh, yeah they were.

The real "wiretapping" was the illegal FISA 702(16)(17) abuses of the NSA databases by Obama's FBI. That began in 2012 with the IRS targeting scandal and went into absolute hyper-drive against Trump through the election and right into his presidency with over 3 million illegal searches in fiscal year 2017 (Oct, '16 to Sept '17). None of that is from Durham, it is all laid out in two orders from the FISA court.

This screengrab is from the 2nd one, issued in Sept of 2019, declassified by Trump and publicly released a month later . . . At the same time Barr announced that the Durham administrative inquiry was expanding and had become a criminal investigation.

NOT A COINCIDENCE!

FISC’s September 2019 Opinion

The court's statement about "non-compliance with the new requirements" is referring to the earlier court order demanding Obama's FBI put an end to the illegal searches. The court is so frustrated with the non-compliance, it threatens closing the FBI's access entirely to 702 (US citizen) information on the NSA databases.

The Russia Hoax and all that went with it was the cover-up for those crimes.

haha how can anyone take this Op-ed seriously when it refers to the indictment as a Durham Report? there is no Durham report


geez the propagandist are desperate to get some spin out there for your cultist

 

[MarcATL]

Since there is so much misinformation, and since FoxNews has decided to just blatantly lie about it, here is an explanation of what the Durham investigation found.

Facts!

 

[Lastamender]

Facts!

What makes them facts?

Here are some links to detailed info of the predicate crimes (even before Trump became the presumptive nominee) that the Russia Hoax was supposed to cover up:

The first one is from April of 2018, this proof of spying isn't new, Admiral Rogers was a hero and he knows where all the bodies are buried, so to speak . . .

The reckoning is going to be so sweet for all you who think Durham has nothing.

 

[Nostra]

Dimtard OP panics when Hillary is exposed as having been ass deep in spying on Trump and rushes to Twitter to find a way to try to spin it.

 

[Lastamender]

I believe that Durham doesn't have jack shit.

Luckily, what you believe means nothing.

 

[jknowgood]

Again:

Second, nothing in the filing supports breathless claims technically illiterate cable hosts are making. It does not allege anyone “hacked” Trump computers, or was paid to “infiltrate” networks, or that anyone “intercepted e-mails and text messages."

Over 60% of independents wants Hillary to go on trial. So keep it up. If you start making stuff up like this, Democrats won't win an election for a while. You have to have them to win. So keep it up!

 

[struth]

Facts!

what’s the misinformation? go read the indictment…it speaks for itself

Who the hell is Julian Sanchez and why should I believe him? From the looks of it he appears to be a perpetrator. You folks will fall for anything.

Your source is an Idiot.

Durham did not issue a report, he filed an indictment. The first of many on this, IMO.

 

[Burgermeister]

Feels a lot like the Wuhan lab leak thing. Smart people with common sense know there were illegal dealings and idiots will continue to deny until they no longer can.

They are demonstrably true.

"...Friday filing by Durham’s team which at its core is a conflict of interest inquiry — not an accusation of “spying” and certainly not a charging instrument. Indeed, its title is as follows: “Government’s Motion to Inquire Into Potential Conflicts of Interest.”

The Words 'Infiltrate' and 'Spy' Appear Exactly Zero Times in John Durham's Recent Court Filing. Here's What It Actually Says — and What It Doesn't.

The first missive, filed Friday by special counsel John H. Durham, led to claims by conservatives (such as Kash Patel on FOX News) and even by Donald Trump himself that liberal and Democratic figures were "infiltrating" or "spying" on his campaign. The Durham filing, however, does not directly...
