Time for an update, after which, things are going to slow down for a couple weeks.
Recently, we have:
There is a method to the madness, an overarching strategy that I have contemplated over many months. There is even a certain contrivance inherent within the various efforts designed to flush out some truth.
There is more to come.
Broadly speaking, I am going to force powerful people to decisions and remove the illusion of ignorance. There will be more letters going out, hundreds in fact.
I have developed what I believe to be a colorable argument in intervening in United States v Netyksho to obtain standing and lay out a devastating series of facts. I don’t want to do it. I don’t want to be doing any of this.
There is a bitterness and level of resentment that I can’t contain anymore. If Durham had come out and said we looked at everything, and here are the answers to all your questions, I would be done. But he didn’t.
I miss the early days when this was truly just a hobby. For over a year now, it’s been an endless effort of letter writing, report writing, and petitioning. The irony is, I was a terrible student. I never did homework and relied on a better than average memory to do well on tests. I never typed out long assignments, I just wasn’t going to do that.
I know I’m not stupid. Sources that I have painstakingly developed have proven themselves right, and albeit slowly, the facts continue to emerge to support what I have been reporting. Certain government officials are disgusted by the lack of disclosures around the DNC hack attribution.
Common questions that I get are:
If you know, why don’t you just tell us?
Who did X, as it relates to the DNC hack attribution?
There are still tons of questions to be answered, I don’t pretend to know everything. But in regards to my inability to fully disclose what sources have told me, it comes down to a few things.
Sometimes sources are providing information on background, and they ask that the information isn’t revealed. I’m not going to compromise them.
Other times, the threats you all haven’t seen have stopped me, I’m ashamed to say.
I don’t have a legal department. I realized at that point I needed additional funds in reserve for defending a lawsuit, and spent weeks putting together cash, which I’m still holding onto, and interviewing more lawyers. Behind the scenes, this hasn’t always been fun.
How should I weigh 3 independent sources against a threat of a defamation lawsuit?
And so it sits in draft status, unfinished.
I’ll be happy to see someone else break the full story, unless I can get documents or maybe one more source willing to provide just a little more detail.
In another life, maybe I would have landed a job at the New York Times or Washington Post and would’ve been flush with resources to defend lawsuits and fight even harder for documents. I could take more trips and knock on more doors. I could do more.
I will be proven right. It’s just a question of whether it happens within the next year.
The Department of Justice will blow off my letter, either assuming I don’t have the guts to intervene in the Netyksho case or assuming I won’t get standing or won’t have any details to offer - maybe I am just some Q-anon guy they have never heard of.
But I will intervene, and I will cause problems.
Godspeed and good luck. Don't get killed.
We appreciate how hard you've been working for us, all this time. God bless you.
