A Sleuth Rant on John Durham

On the heels of another report, this time from the WSJ indicating Durham is finished, it’s time to face reality. Durham has failed the country.

This time, the article quotes Rodney Joffe’s lawyer, who has been told by Durham that Joffe will not be indicted.

Joffe, the guy that Durham savaged in one inflammatory filing after another, is probably owed an apology from both Durham and commentators (like me) who took Durham’s filings at their face value.

As much as I want answers, Durham’s report can’t insinuate anyone’s guilt. He is the one who was supposed to bring accountability, so I don’t want to read that person X did this or that with hints of possible crimes that Durham didn’t have the spine to bring charges against.

What about Fusion GPS claims of privilege over emails? Did Durham get them all?

I would take a guess, that no…Durham is closing up shop with very substantial investigative leads going unpursued.

And that is what is truly unforgiveable.

As of May, he hadn’t gotten 1500 Fusion GPS emails they had resisted him on with frivolous privilege claims. He hadn’t gotten anything from Joffe apparently. He also hasn’t pierced executive privilege over 200+ emails between Joffe and President Obama.

False statement cases against John Podesta for lying to congress about not knowing of Fusion GPS until after the election, or statements that CHS Stefan Halper made about Svetlana are apparently going unprosecuted.

Giving the FBI data alleging a secret communications channel between Trump and Putin, that many experts immediately concluded as fabricated, is apparently perfectly fine. And Durham’s report had better not suggest otherwise.

The role of Joffe and others in the DNC hack attribution, apparently doesn’t raise any suspicions for Durham. He’s fine with that. Did Durham even look at the DNC hack? All the questions about the hack, and the possibly fraudulent indictment of GRU operatives for the hack are all apparently totally fine.

Comey leaking a memo in May 2017, after approving Danchenko as a paid CHS in March to hide him and knowing Danchenko had blown up the entire narrative, for the purpose of getting Mueller appointed to investigate debunked claims is apparently totally fine.

Lying to the FISC and congress throughout 2018 about Danchenko is apparently totally fine.

Those lies probably extended the statute of limitations for conspiracy charges through at least July 2023. The willful concealment by the FBI of Danchenko as a paid CHS, even well after the Horowitz report and until a few months after our friend identified Danchenko might even extend the SOL until late 2025. But Durham is done. He’s quitting.

Nothing will change. Nobody aside from us will read his report.

Fusion GPS is going to make millions in 2024 fabricating evidence, with an even more ridiculously brazen media operation to push their lies. Our country is ruined. Forever.

For our part, it’s not over. We are going to pursue evidence, we will use whatever Durham produces to help us do that. Our efforts will not be in vain. At the very least, if someone is curious and wants to know what happened - we can make that information available.

This week, I will have some very important Open Records requests back from the Attorney General of Georgia and a slew of filings in our most significant lawsuit will hit the docket [likely tomorrow] for those of you following that.

I like to be over-prepared, so I’ve been doing a ton of work offline. It’s been sort’ve an odd evolution, where I first started Russiagate as a decent researcher and then became more of a FOIA requester, and now I’m spending an inordinate amount of time reading through court filings and cases and bringing lawsuits. I never could’ve imagined this is where I would be a year ago. Still to come, I anticipate a long fight against President Obama over our FOIA’s to him if the GOP House/Senate chooses not to pursue a Russiagate investigation.

The final stage of sleuthing will be in a premium La-Z-Boy chair watching the second (or third) season of House of the Dragon enjoying my retirement from all this.
