Hello, Whitey.

Start here.

 Welcome to the nitty gritty.  Or the fucky-wucky. Or whatever idiomatic phrase that implies funtime is over, and where drilling down to real facts inevitablly means losing your audience. So much sex and violence, a mere mouse click away, makes it so reading legal jargon for cultural content just plain sucks. And it sucks more when the content herein suggests the world-as-we-know-it is crumbling.

So we grind on. 

Welcome to post #3 of my return to blogging.

For those of us at the "boomer" stage of life, I humbly suggest we maintain focus on a prime imperative. We should and quite often do care about what our generation hath wrought, yet growing old gracefully is a tough challenge. Being jaded is part of the deal, as is unrequited sentimentality.

So, let's focus on facts, folks. Do with them (true facts) what you will, but remember there are many out there who weave wicked webs, and they practice to deceive the elderly. Think for yourself.

This is the way. Logic for nothing. Links for free.

• The Federal law authorizing Special Counsel says the Attorney General (or acting Attorney General in cases where the Attorney General is recused) can appoint Special Counsel when a case presents a "conflict of interest" for the Justice Department, or "other extraordinary circumstances." Basically, Federal agencies cannot and should not investigate and prosecute themselves.
  

• This is not John H. Durham's first rodeo. He has a unique career history of successfully obtaining convictions in specific types of criminal cases, those involving racketeering and government corruption. Some of that history is behind a Boston Globe paywall, but it may be well worth the price of admission, given their track record.
  

•  Attorney General Order No. 4878-2020 outlines the scope of the job. Quick take: the goal is to find out how and why our nation was subjected to "Russia, Russia, Russia," including, but not limited to, the origins of Operation Hurricane. As of the date of this post, we have tangible results from Durhams work. Personally, I think there is much more to come. Others may think it just sound and fury, signifying nothing. Whatever. It would be nonetheless edifying for curious minds to ask, just who the hell are these clowns, and what are the implications, if any, for their crimes?
  

Kevin Clinesmith: FBI lawyer -- pleaded guilty to falsifying a reply email from CIA. The email had confirmed Carter Page was an agency "source." Clinesmith consciously (brazenly) added the words "not a source." Seriously. 

 How busted is their operation? 

The FBI then relied on that altered email to support an application for a FISA surveillance warrant as part of Operation Hurricane. Clinesmith has been sentenced to one year probation and 400 hours community service. Huh?

Don't downplay the seemingly light sentence of this flunkie (he faced five years and $250K in fines). And don't be naive. The only reasonable conclusion here is that he is fully cooperating with the Durham team. Phase One complete. 

KEY FACT: At least one, if not all, of the applications for FISA warrants to spy on the president for "Russian connections" were based on bogus political and institutional fuckery.

Michael Sussman: Perkins Coie Lawyer -- cybersecurity expert, and subject of that juicy 27-page indictment. You almost never see that much detail for a piddly false statement charge. 

Like Clinesmith, Sussman is charged with making materially false statements (lying) about his role and his purpose when he requested and obtained a meeting with FBI General Counsel James Baker. Perkins Coie had been retained and paid by Hilary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign, the Democratic National Committee, and the several "tech companies" mentioned in the indictment. He is accused of using his access to client DNS "look-up" logs to conduct and present oppo research, e.g. Trump-Russia collusion. As we all eventually learned, there was none. 

I read the indictment as "Sussmann's actions started this insufferable hoax."

Forget all the "Trump was never exonerated" bullshit from the Mueller Report. 

If you insist on pursuing red herrings, go here.

Bottom line about Sussman case: it further supports the FACT that the Trump/Russia collusion narrative was conjured through deception, deep and wide. Further, it was a DNC/Clinton/MSM operation all along. All that wasted time and energy. And furthermore, America continues to suffer from its mass effect. (Side note: James Baker was the highest ranking legal officer in the FBI.)

KEY FACT: Given proof of charges, the only reasonable conclusions are, either 1. A lawyer on the Clinton/DNC payroll, himself an ex-U.S. Attorney, duped the top lawyer of the FBI into issuing a series of directives, implemented by rabid partisans (e.g. Strzok, Page, Clinesmith), to illegally surveil a presidential campaign, or worse, 2. Baker was in on the conspiracy.

Take your pick. Logic for nothing. Links for free.

Why else would a minion like Clinesmith wilfully do what he was convicted of doing? 

Nice "insurance policy." Today, an adventurous thinker might even try to connect those dots leading to the FBI's role in the J6 events. Anyone care to discuss Ray Epps? Too early? How about Randy Weaver? David Koresh? But I digress. On purpose.

Again, in spite of this shitty scenario, I always emphasize ... think for yourself.

Normally, it is the defense who seeks to push back trial dates. Almost always, it is the defense seeking to extend time. 

Former DoD Chief of Staff Kash Patel explains that conspiracy fraud prosecutions normally run three, four, and five years. He has been there.

For now, the question is whether Sussman will "plead out" the same way Clinesmith did.

See the Deep State squirm. Have I lost you?

Be a Critical Thinker. Fuck Secret Societies.

I kid.

The 39-page indictment charges that Danchenko made material misrepresntations to Federal agents. These are consitent with the overall target and theme of Durham's work, i.e., that a bunch of fucking psychopaths with reckless disregard for the rule of law and general public welfare, dreamt up and executed an insane plan to distract, harass, and hopefully destroy, the eventual winner of the 2016 presidential race. 

Danchenko allegedly lied when asked if he was indeed the sub-source for the infamous Steele dossier, that "garbage" document upon which the whole of Operation Hurricane and the FISA warrant applications for judicial permission to spy on an American citizens, were based.

OK, let me filter out the rhetoric. Danchenko's indictment when considered with the rest, suggests that the ever-meticulous Durham has uncovered a pattern, a plan, a scheme or design, a course of conduct ... what's the word? ... oh, yeah a conspiracy to defraud the government, and thus, the American people. It should be apparent to a knowledgeable observer that this 3rd in a series of indictments establishes greater, and I believe more ominous, legal consequences for the "upper echelons" in the chain of criminal activity. I believe more indictments are yet to be unsealed. 

Just who are these "upper echelons?" 

Well, who were Clinesmith, Sussman, and Danchenko's bosses? 

KEY FACTS: Clinesmith worked under James Baker in the FBI Counsel's Office. Sussman worked closely with Mark Elias, at Perkins Coie, the DNC and Clinton main law firm. Danchenko was allegedly given the "dirt" (for the "Russian" dossier) by another Clinton lawyer, Charles Dolan.

Trial date is supposed to be April 2022, however, Danchenko's counsel, Stewart Sears's law firm are ... you guessed it ... currently (!) Clinton campaign lawyers, so ...

Meanwhile, the Durham team has filed a Motion to Inquire Into Potential Conflicts of Interest. 

Excerpt:

SUPER KEY FACTS: The Hillary Clinton Campaign and some of its former employees are currently subject to “matters before the Special Counsel, in addition to another lawyer who works with Danchenko's lawyers.

There you have it.  

It's official and we're only warming up, boomers. 

Oh, I completely forgot ... did we just go through . . . (clears throat) ... a pandemic?

See you next time.
