Durham report released

[Faun]

What ever the Special Agent in charge of the counter intelligence probe decided was necessary to obtain evidence so they could get probable cause for a FISA warrant to electronically monitor his communications, which they did in October.

LOLOL

I knew it. I knew you couldn't say what type of surveillance they used between April and September because when you said they were surveilling him, you made that up.

 

[Lesh]

You just supported my quote from WAPO that, indeed, after Trump announced Page was an advisor, in April, a counter intelligence probe was started.

Good job.

If you bothered to read it… they did very little in that investigation.

Certainly didn’t spy on the Trump team.

All it showed was that Page had a long history of nefarious contacts with Russia

 

[MagicMike]

Mainly because it was a farce, just like the J6 TV show.

Or because they (and Trump) are the actual swamp?
And you are not qualified to comment on The J6 Committee.
You didn't even watch the hearings.

Prove me wrong then.

Yet my quotes from WAPO were true......................................
Deal with it, clown man.

I already did when I exposed you couldn't prove yourself right.

Democrats exposed Trump to an unjust Mueller Investigation.

That's an absolutely crazy statement.

Investigation by a REPUBLICAN named Mueller was started by a Trump's handpicked REPUBLICAN AG Rosen when Trump fired his handpicked REPUBLICAN FBI Director over "the Russia thing"

The only one who exposed Trump to investigation was Trump.

Russia hacks everything all the time. Don't confuse Russia with Guccifer.

FBI docs: Study found Clinton email server hacked, info found on dark web - Washington Examiner

Information from Hillary Clinton's unauthorized, private email server were found on the dark web, newly released documents from the FBI show.It has long been suspected that Clinton's server, located in her home in Chappaqua, N.Y., might have been breached by hackers, but that has never been...

Dupe, Guccifer was a Russian handle. Mueller indicted specific GRU operatives who conducted the hacking of DNC server.

Grand Jury Indicts 12 Russian Intelligence Officers for Hacking Offenses Related to the 2016 Election

Yet he was under surveillance........

Surveillance is the act of observing another in order to gather evidence. Surveillance is one of the most common methods law enforcement officials use to investigate suspects and gather evidence. It can be accomplished with the knowledge of the person being surveilled (overt surveillance) or without (overt surveillance).

So you say but cannot show he was under surveillance. Funniest part -- your own link said he was being investigated. Nothing about surveillance until he was wiretapped in September. You're literally making shit up that's not supported by your own source AND you utterly failed to prove yourself right.

Hillary destroyed 30,000 subpoenaed emails and her iPhones. If you or I did that we'd still be in prison.

No, she didn’t. Her tech staff did on their own.

Trump lied and didn’t turn over hundreds of subpoenaed documents. Does that mean he’s going to jail?

Trump-Russia collusion:


4. The Trump Tower Moscow deal. In a footnote, Durham concedes there are things that the FBI later found that corroborated ties between Trump and Russia that weren’t known when the investigation was opened. The only example he provides, however, is the June 9, 2016 meeting in Trump Tower in New York.

There were also at least some activities involving the Trump campaign and Russians that did not become public, and were not known to the FBI, until much later. For example, on June 9, 2016, senior representatives of the campaign met briefly with a private Russian lawyer, Natalia Veselnitskaya, and others at the Trump Tower. Mueller Report at 110, 117. Veselnitskaya “had previously worked for the Russian government and maintained a relationship with that government throughout this period oftime.” Id. at 110. The initial email to Donald Trump Jr. proposing the meeting said that the Crown prosecutor of Russia was offering to provide the campaign with documents and information that would incriminate Clinton. Id. The meeting at the Trump Tower only became public over a year later. Id. at 121.

Durham leaves out many others — like Manafort sharing campaign strategy and Trump having Manafort order Roger Stone to reach out to WikiLeaks. But because Durham focuses closely on Dmitry Peskov’s role in the Steele dossier and a brief nod he makes towards Russian disinformation in it, Durham’s silence about Michael Cohen’s January 2016 conversation with Dmitry Peskov’s office asking for help on a Trump Tower Moscow deal, using sanctioned banks and a former GRU officer as broker, is the most damning. Olga Galkina and Charles Dolan’s ties to Peskov — an interminable focus of this report — are important especially because Peskov was the one person in Russian who undeniably knew that Cohen had made a secret call to Russia during the campaign that both he and Trump were lying to cover up. Yet Durham simply ignores that critical context.

If John Durham closed just a handful of enormous gaps in his shoddy report, it would all fall apart.

This thread is about the Durham Report. That report concluded that the FBI Gestapo illegally spied on Trump and does NOT enforce US laws apolitically. The Mueller Investigation was started by people who hated Trump without justification. The FBI Gestapo needs to be defunded and rebuilt with adequate checks and balances.

Except Mueller is a Republican, Rosen is a Republican, Barr is a Republican, etc.

And I'd take Durrrrham more seriously if he could back up his accusations with indictments or convictions.

He didn't indict one FBI player, and the two people he did indict, were acquitted by juries.

Huh? What was illegal? Who was charged with a crime?

Mueller was a figurehead, nothing more. All of the political hacks under him (Weismann, et.al.) were democrats. Mueller didn't even know who FusionGPS was.
Barr said that the Trump investigations were NOT adequately predicated.
It is apparently not illegal to willfully be biased in applying the LAW.
Even when Clinesmith falsified evidence he got off easy.

Durham confirmed that the FBI Gestapo is a rogue law enforcement agency that needs to be reigned in to apply the laws apolitically.
