The Morning Report - 2/14/22

Good morning, kids. Start of a new week, and once again so many crucial things are happening simultaneously, each one in its own right able to provide Ace and all the cobs enough fodder to devote an entire week's worth of posts, while giving every decent American-American still hanging tough agita you could light a bonfire with. So, attempting to take it all in at once is like trying to take a sip of water not merely from a firehose but by standing underneath the Three Gorges Dam, mouth agape, as Hop Sing opens the flood gate.

Honestly, I really do not know where to begin. With Canadian truckers and citizenry attempting to wrest their freedom and dignity back from naked, ugly tyranny masquerading as representative (lower case "D") democratic government, ditto on this side of the 49th parallel despite a transparent, in your face "wag the dog" scenario over Ukraine, I feel almost guilty in turning my attention to something that the very subject of the topic once infamously bellowed "At this point, what difference does it make?!" I have to say, all things considered, maybe that sentiment is right. Our entire world has been turned upside down and we are at a fin de siècle. Is it really worth the time, energy and bile shooting up my throat to cover the news about John Durham and Russiagate?

In Apocalypse Now Capt. Willard pondered the notion of arresting an American in Vietnam for murder and thought it was like "handing out speeding tickets at the Indy 500." So really, in the middle of everything we are experiencing, does the confirmation now - because we all knew it from the very beginning, really - of the first unsuccessful attempt to sabotage a candidate and steal a national election which led to a second attempt to sabotage a presidency and then the successful theft of the subsequent national election, really make a difference in the grand scheme of things?

So there you have it.
Russiagate, the collective delusion that Donald Trump was secretly a Russian agent aided and abetted by the Kremlin, the topic of uncountable inches of Washington Post and New York Times copy and the entire prime-time lineup of MSNBC, was a dirty trick by the Hillary Clinton campaign. Not just part of it. All of it. One of the most diabolical, successful misinformation campaigns ever concocted.
We already knew that the Steele dossier was garbage. Christopher Steele was paid indirectly by the Clinton campaign to dig up dirt, which he did by turning to other Clinton operatives, laundering every outlandish rumor about Trump he could find into an "investigative" document. . .
. . . Now another piece of Russia, Russia, Russia is kaputski. A computer server operated by Trump's company was secretly communicating with a Russian firm, so claimed Slate magazine and endless Twitter threads of would-be tech experts.
But as special counsel John Durham outlines in his latest indictment, that was just a story made up by tech executive Rodney Joffe, who desperately wanted a job with the Clinton administration. He hacked Trump's servers, cherry-picked privileged Internet data he had access to, and molded it to look like something nefarious. . .
. . . Durham "definitely showed that the Hillary Clinton campaign directly funded and ordered its lawyers at Perkins Coie to orchestrate a criminal enterprise to fabricate a connection between President Trump and Russia," says Kash Patel, the former chief investigator for the House Intelligence Committee. . .
. . . If this had happened to a Democrat, the press would be losing its mind. A candidate for president weaponized the nation's Justice Department to pursue an investigation into their political opponent based on what they knew were lies. Americans were wiretapped! Some were entrapped for flimsy claims of perjury. The director of the FBI went into the Oval Office to tell the president that there was a sexual rumor floating around, so that it could be promptly leaked to the media. Outrageous doesn't cover it. And still no shame from Hillary Clinton and her supporters, because it's Donald Trump -- anything is fair game to take him down.
All these things we've been lectured about over the past four years: Norms being broken, Internet misinformation, perversion of government -- it was all happening. It was the Democrats who were doing it. Think anyone in the left-wing media will notice?

Look, let's be real here. There is no way in hell Hillary Clinton as well as every player involved in this and all the other acts of high crimes, misdemeanors and dictionary-definition treason she has ever committed will ever be punished. Not on this earth, anyway. But it does not take away from the fact that what she and her henchmen in and out of government as well as here and even abroad did in the campaign to quite literally overthrow the nation is the greatest political crime in our now ended history, and perhaps among the greatest in world history over the past several centuries, bar none.

Even though it happened starting six years ago or even when Trump descended the Trump Tower escalator the year before that, it's not yesterday's news. As I just stated, the gravity of the crime/crimes stand on their own, but because of it, and because they got away with it then and will get away with it now, all of the subsequent assaults on our liberty, figurative and literal, from the Joey Soft Serve junta are the result.

You could say it is the sine qua non for all our troubles but the seed was planted long ago and far away and came to our shores over 100 years ago.

Those of us in college during those years who were not leftists never had any illusions about who these people were. From the start, they were open in their contempt for the United States, for its history and traditions, even for the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. When they said they believed in the first amendment, we knew they didn't mean it, that they were just using it as a shield until such time it could be discarded. . . Now their pampered behinds are turning 70 and in some cases pushing 80, veterans all of the Long March through the Institutions, but their attitudes haven't changed one bit. As charter members of the largest generation in American history, they have long known they would inherit the earth, as if by divine right. And yet here, at the end, they're having to take guff from people who have no idea who Michel Foucault or Herbert Marcuse was. . .
. . . And what guff! "My body, my choice." How dare they throw those words back into our faces? The most neurotic and hypochondriacal generation of all time is convinced that when they issue an "order" in the name of "public health" it is to be obeyed by lesser mortals. Why shouldn't "climate skeptics," the unvaccinated, and all the purveyors of " mis- dis- and mal-information (MDM)" be watched closely by the Man? Why, even the Department of Homeland Security, brought to you by the Bush Family of Connecticut and Texas, believes that independent thought and free speech, those hallmarks of the Sixties, now pose a danger to "our democracy!". . .
. . . Back in the day, the comic strip Pogo, by Walt Kelly, was immensely popular. Perhaps its most famous moment came on April 22, 1970—the first Earth Day—when Kelly drew a poster depicting his title character, a possum, sadly contemplating a trash-strewn landscape and observing, "We have met the enemy and he is us." The Left loved that sentiment then, and they love it now. Except that the players have switched sides.

Great essay, as usual, from friend and friend of the blog Michael Walsh. When he sent me the link, I asked, if by the grace of G-d in Heaven we do claw our way back and defeat these tyrants, how do we prevent them from ever coming back and doing this again? It really is the conundrum that got us here in the first place. To wit, how does a free society protect itself from this kind of existential threat without discarding the very freedoms it seeks to preserve and protect in order to do so?

Solve that and win a cookie.

Wasn't she the head of the State Department? Didn't Obama give her that as a consolation prize, and that was her big accomplishment in life? Those connections probably didn't come into play, though.

SAINT OF THE DAY
St. Valentine of Rome (c. 270) was a priest who lived in Rome during the reign of Emperor Claudius II. He ministered to Christians who were persecuted and imprisoned for their faith, and died a martyr. One account has it that the emperor banned all marriages and engagements in Rome, believing this was the reason Roman men were unwilling to serve in the army. Valentine defied this unjust decree and continued to perform marriages for lovers in secret. He was arrested, and while in prison he restored sight to his jailer's blind daughter, causing the jailer and his entire extended household, forty-six people in total, to immediately convert to Christianity. Upon hearing this, Claudius ordered Valentine's execution. St. Valentine left a farewell note for the jailer's daughter, whom he had befriended, and signed it "From Your Valentine." He was beheaded on February 14th. St. Valentine is the patron of many causes including bee keepers, betrothed and engaged couples, lovers, love, happy marriages, and young people. His feast day is February 14th.

24 The ignoble and inevitable exposure of the filth that was the Russiagate is useful for just one thing: to demonstrate how utterly sunk in lies and evil the Left and all its supporters are. Because you'll be able to count on the fingers of one hand the people who, crestfallen, will tell you "Gee, you were right all along! I really believed all those things they said about Trump, and they were all lies!" See how many of your friends and family who broke ties with you over the election of the supposed fascist madman will apologize and admit they were wrong. They'll do what they always do: clamp their mouths tight shut, look fiercely off at some unspecified point in the distance, and hug their lies close.

He is an ally of anyone supporting free speech and open political debate, that much I'll agree with in this argument. Beyond that I bet he's a standard issue libtard. Lets ask him about schools promoting gender dysphoria or the promulgation of CRT, or homeless programs, or centralized government of any stripe.

**

From that link: "There is no company whose business model won't be profoundly affected by the transition to a net zero economy - one that emits no more carbon dioxide than it removes from the atmosphere by 2050, the scientifically-established threshold necessary to keep global warming well below 2�C."

How absurd.

Although now I see the game. They can limit companies in the U.S. that will be hobbled and safely focus their investments on Chinese companies that will be allowed to thrive under Global Warming.

63 Durham "definitely showed that the Hillary Clinton campaign directly funded and ordered its lawyers at Perkins Coie to orchestrate a criminal enterprise to fabricate a connection between President Trump and Russia," says Kash Patel, the former chief investigator for the House Intelligence Committee
++++
Which itself sort of misses the forest for the trees. Clinton was a charter payer for the thing, and asked for it to be created. That's opposition research and happens all the time. What came out of that effort was a work of fiction and that is a problem, but in my mind the actual problem is not Clinton's involvement so much as the government's involvement. Steele actively worked with our intelligence agencies and foreign intelligence agencies (namely Britain and Australia) to build his fictional narrative. They laundered information around through the press and everything else.

Clinton's fingerprints being on the The Dossier isn't exactly great news, but the state's involvement is the far bigger problem.

You have to recognize the actual foundations: Christian morals and thought. Then you have to make sure you maintain those morals and that thought, even when you're rich enough you can abandon them without _immediate_ consequence. You have to care enough to teach them to your children and their children.

Only if the people each govern themselves can they avoid *being* governed by others. And hedonism (one the prime Progressive doctrines) is absolutely NOT "governing yourself."

Having The Rock do the pregame intro for some reason confirms that the NFL is actually a scripted WWE spinoff, so I REALLY don't care.

98 >>See the link in that section about a poll allegedly showing a large majority of Dems want her investigated. That to me is a tell that the Dems want to take her out. The problem is doing that without exonerating Trump. That will take spinning like a Dervish at an Iranian U235 enrichment plant.

You know there is a simpler explanation that doesn't require so many levels of chess. Not a popular one here but one that makes the most sense.

Durham is exactly what he was hired to be, a Special Counsel with the same level of authority as Mueller (minus the media hype) and he is uncovering actual evidence, not blog theories, of criminal activity by the Clinton campaign during and AFTER the election when Trump was the elected President of the United States. What he's already shown is this was a much bigger conspiracy than anyone had assumed and he's still going.

There was no reason for Barr to make Durham a Special Counsel just weeks before Trump was leaving office. He could have just let the whole thing sink beneath the wave but he didn't.

--

What makes this so tough, and the solution so daunting, is just how intricately woven it all is. Preventing them from coming back involves dissolving and rebuilding so many things. The education system who churns out anti-Americanism and refuses to teach real history does seem to be the most important launching point. From that, all other things seem to stem. They can't spread out and infect or seed other institutions if there are no brainwashed foot soldiers to carry out the mission.

The people allowing Durham to slug along are comfortable in their hubris, knowing full well that it won't amount to anything, which allows him to carry on doing the work of building an actual case. Knowing something and having a case are two different things.

mostly access to public info that already existed, the names and donations of the donors, but I read they have more extensive on the GSG folks - but don't quote me.

But creepy as hell, that video. Again, we know who did this, because Canada probably does not have this capability at warp speed, although we know they are hacking into FB groups already. Again, I do believe this is not Canada.

But the violence is ramping up from their law enforcement. It's going to get ugly and honestly, I think they are egging on the peaceful protesters trying to get them to pop off so they can go full throat

168 Fair enough. I will continue to disagree and if I turn out to be wrong I will happily eat some crow. But Durham hasn't accomplished anything.
================
Why eat crow? This investigation (in Huber form) should have been wrapped up in sufficient part to prevent the fraud on the 2018 midterms. It wasn't, and so we moved on to Mr. Durham.

So far, Durham has Danchenko on silly frills, a plea from Clinesmith, who now teaches Legal Ethics if you can fucking believe it, and Sussman. Obviously, Elias, and the surrounding cast of operatives are next on the indictment list, along with Perkins Coie and Latham (in my wet dream world), followed by the real malefactors at the core of the Clinton campaign, the CIA and the FBI.

Just in time for the 10th anniversary of the fall of the Republic.

Not to mention that whole "justice delayed is justice denied" thing. Even if someone actually does get punished, it will be astounding and surprising but not meaningful. To quote the Beast herself, "what difference, at this point, does it make?"

He's got 3 indictments so far with many more clearly on tap. He's established, with evidence, that the Clinton campaign along with the most powerful Democrat affiliated law firm in the country worked together along with one of the leading government contractors and researchers at Georgia Tech to plant false evidence to frame Trump and then continued to spy on him once he was President. Perkins Coie, the firm responsible for most of the illegal changes to election laws in 2016, got rid of their entire election group because of what Durham has uncovered.

Actual public disclosure and prosecution of major players in the government with punishments that stick.

It is really, really difficult to get worked up about the prosecution of low level or mid-tier people when they showed how this works with Clinesmith, who was a medium shot who got caught, got prosecuted and then had all of his punishments reversed. The game is fixed.

The Seventh Circuit determined that Perkins Coie (as a named defendant) took on the stateless status of its individual partners in China destroying diversity jurisdiction and depriving the federal district court of the power to hear the case.

The Seventh Circuit found that while the Supreme Court has not squarely confronted the question it decided, prior cases indicated that it would agree with the Seventh Circuit. The Seventh Circuit further found that the First, Second, Third, and Fifth Circuits have confronted the precise question and have all held that a partnership made up of at least one stateless citizen is itself stateless and cannot be sued in diversity.

230 Inflation is blamed on many things. But it has only one cause: It is a monetary phenomenon. Inflation occurs when the quantity of money increases faster than the quantity of goods. Why does the money supply increase? Very often, it does so to enable the government to pay its bills without raising taxes. There's only one real cure for inflation. It is a cure that's easy to describe but difficult to apply: The government must reduce spending and print less money. The alternatives are both recession and double-digit inflation.

Don't be pedantic. He pled guilty to avoid the indictment. He's got 3 scalps so far with more on the way.

And stop conflating punishment with what a prosecutor does. What punishment did Durham ask the judge for? The maximum which was not 12 months of punishment. Durham does not decide the case, judges and juries do. You know or should know this.

But you do highlight one of the problems he has. In some of these cases he's forced to indict in DC, a place that voted 93% for Democrats and the judiciary is controlled mostly by Democrats. Witness the Jan 6th cases.

You can be as negative as you want but you said Durham would never get this far. He's far from done.

Remember, the entire GOP-e, including Camera Clowns like Trey Gowdy, KNEW that all of this was a fraud while they sat on their asses and pontificated and raised money and did nothing at all to stop it. And the Dems got away with it because they knew the GOP-e had their backs.

But still, there will be no results from this until AFTER we win back positions of power, from which we can act. The enemy still controls all the heights of political power right now; those walls must be broken down before any further progress can be made.

My marker has always been McCabe. He was "fired" one day before his retirement was official, which is said to have been a terrible punishment. Of course, since then he raised a zillion dollars on GoFundMe for legal fees, and then won his wrongful termination case, got the difference in retirement due to that one day restored, with interest, and the government paid his legal fees - so I guess he gets to keep the GFM money.

Durham's job - based on reading the case he has filed - is to prove that some people duped the FBI and DOJ. Those are the only cases he has.

I disagree. Evidence of electronic spying on the President of the United States, planting false evidence trails and then involving the CIA and the FBI in the scheme, is proof of treason. Durham has a mind-blower of a case already.

The fact that he's still investigating rather than bringing indictments could mean he's trying to figure a graceful protection for the worst criminals, which many here might believe, or that he thinks he can make a much larger case, given more time and evidence.

I don't have faith in the American judicial system, which uniquely has implausible checks or balances, but there is a rather easy explanation for this very belated stab at justice. You see, Donald Trump does not "fear" a Hillary Clinton presidency, at least more than any other plausible Democrats. But Barack Obama sure as hell does, and the impending collapse of the Biden regime is a fantastic reason to clear her pieces off the board before she tries to harness the overt fraud machine for herself.

Durham may likely not get the indictments we'd all like to see. He has many obstacles. Recall he had a traitorous staff. Finding good professional prosecutors is daunting in the DC/DOJ cesspool. Virtually every witness has lawyered up using their lawyer co-conspirators to obstruct every step of the investigation. In fact that has been the subject of his court briefing. Durham will also face the ultimate obstruction by Garland and the judges who has been assigned the case. Durham has also informed us, to those paying attention, that the IG has obstructed his investigation. There's more to say about what Durham faces in pursuit of Justice but the one thing he is doing -he's exposing the details. Justice is not patient and abhors incompleteness. That it might not be attainable given the breadth of corruption, still read Durham's court filings

Or he doesn't want to tip his hand just yet. Do you know what happens once an indictment is dropped? Discovery begins. That means Durham has to turn over all of the evidence he has against the perp.

This is clearly a large criminal conspiracy involving many players, private companies, universities, the DOJ and the Clinton campaign. One of the behind the scenes things that doesn't get talked about much is the law firms representing some of these people.

It turns out some of them like Latham are representing a number of them and have ties to the Clintons and the DOJ. This latest filing by Durham is actually in response to a claim he made of potential conflicts with the law firms, he doesn't want them sharing evidence.

Oddly, a number of former federal prosecutor types I follow don't think this is moving slowly at all. Particularly when you consider the targets and the resources they have to fight back.

He knows that most of his colleagues don't support the censure on him, and he's hoping to shame them into telling the truth. However, his colleagues are cowards who want to retain their seats, so if forced to actually answer, they will publicly support the censure.

298 Democratic Underground had a discussion regarding a tweet by some lefty that said:

"Chipotle: 26% profit increase. Raising prices. Starbucks: 31% profit increase. Raising prices. McDonalds: 59% profit increase. Raising prices. Shell/Mobile/BP: 60% profit increase. Raising prices. There's not a labor shortage. This isn't inflation. It is 100% corporate greed."

One of my favorite responses is:
"There is no price fairy that changes prices. The 'law' of supply and demand is not a law. It is jargon created to provide a scientific gloss to a psychological response. 'Markets' don't clear nor do they have equilibrium."

I don't understand why socialist-run markets always seem to fail, after seeing all this economic genius!

301 "That the seroprevalence data exists and the health bureaucrats never discuss it is disturbing enough. That it has changed nothing about the pandemic response, vaccine program, or agency risk assessment is stunning."
_______

Not to anybody who has been paying attention the past few years.

The CDC, and Fauci, and all the other medico-bureaucrats, care nothing about actual "science." They also care nothing about responsible public health policy. If they did, they would not have refused, for years, to develop early treatment protocols for the virus. They also would not have mocked, disparaged, and/or outlawed therapeutic treatments shown to be effective, such as ivermectin, HCQ, etc.

No, their refusal to respond sensibly to their own seroprevalence data is not surprising at all. It is entirely in keeping with the one over-arching goal they have relentlessly pursued throughout this entire pandemic: the accumulation of greater power for themselves and the federal government.

People keep discovering X number of votes were fakes, or that you can't confirm they were actually valid votes.

The FNM covers this by saying that since you can't prove those were votes for Biden that this shows there was no fraud. Of course, the point of the secret ballot is not being able to figure out who a person voted for...

No, I 'm not saying that at all.

I'll be more clear. I think you have been wrong all along that Durham would do nothing and the fact that he's already not just started indicting but laid out though his indictments and public filings the size and scope of his investigation supports that he is indeed doing quite a bit.

And I think there will be more indictments. I've said all along that I don't think Hillary or some of the top people will be indicted. Like the mafia, they have lots of buffers. But their roles will be laid out for all to see and many of them will never be in government again.

Hillary is not coming out now because she wants to run in 2024. She's coming out now to get ahead of what she clearly knows will be exposed. You may not think this is a big deal but she does.

To those who create and sustain such a system, it looks like the perfect Perpetual Motion Money Machine that can never be broken. They think they have all their bases covered, and on the surface it looks like they do.

But such machines always have huge cracks in their foundations; and sooner or later the entire society which supports them collapses. The key to having checks and balances is that they are supposed to correct the system before it kills the host; but if those checks are taken away, the host society not only still dies, it typically dies in a spectacularly gruesome fashion. And we can see the signs of our own demise everywhere we look today.

349 You know there is a simpler explanation that doesn't require so many levels of chess. Not a popular one here but one that makes the most sense.

Durham is exactly what he was hired to be, a Special Counsel with the same level of authority as Mueller (minus the media hype) and he is uncovering actual evidence, not blog theories, of criminal activity by the Clinton campaign during and AFTER the election when Trump was the elected President of the United States. What he's already shown is this was a much bigger conspiracy than anyone had assumed and he's still going.

There was no reason for Barr to make Durham a Special Counsel just weeks before Trump was leaving office. He could have just let the whole thing sink beneath the wave but he didn't.

Sundance makes a salient point here though. How does Durham pursue the whole thing, without bringing down the sham Mueller investigation? After all, Mueller had access to all the information that Durham will obtain.

I don't think that Durham will let the Mueller investigation be (officially) discovered to be the sham it was. Which must mean that Durham pulls punches and doesn't go after bad-faith actors inside the U.S. gov't.

From what I've seen of the Durham court filings, he's building a case that third parties "tricked" the government into investigating Trump. He's setting up a gameboard that lets the FBI / DOJ and institutional bad actors off the hook.

Given what we know about treason and the stolen election how can there be any indictments of note---FAB, et al--with out a Trump Admin?
Theres no way this Communist regime indicts anyone of note and certainly anyone who is a threat to their Politburo members in good standing.

357 But such machines always have huge cracks in their foundations; and sooner or later the entire society which supports them collapses.

Which is a plot element in many Caper movies. You get a gang of amoral reprobates hatching some scheme to defraud, kill or steal. A good portion of the movie shows them pulling it off, and the last part is about how their own personal interests and lack of character has them killing off their fellow gang members thinking that they will be the last man standing.

its a popular trope because people can easily see the human nature making such fractures and failures not just possible, but inevitable.

Comey was complicit, using intelligence assets to try to frame several in the Trump campaign ... all that was DeepState and the Bureaucracy ... hand in glove with DNC and MFM. (and probably China and other foreign actors).

And that includes the whole Mueller Team special counsel ... no more legit than Pelosi's "Insurrection Investigation". Haspel seemed like Brennan's understudy ... all happens in the shadows.

When the officials huddled-up for a while late in the Ram's final TD drive, then the Referee called off-setting penalties, I turned to a friend and said, "I bet Goodell was on the comm system between the refs and the replay review guys and told the officials how to call the rest of the game (about 90 seconds)." I was joking at the time, but I think I hit the truth.

369 >>I'm tracking with you on this Jack, but the question / issue i have is, so he uncovers it all. isn't it still incumbent on the DOJ to prosecute? doesn't the special counsel only present findings?

No, Durham has his own prosecutors. He needs permission from the DOJ to seek indictments but the prosecution itself is in his control.

As was noted above I think he's using his public statements to put pressure on the DOJ to not interfere. Will they fight him? No doubt they will and have been. I'm not naive enough to think this isn't a dogfight and Durham is the underdog but he's still there and still swinging away and this latest drop might just make it much harder for Garland to sweep it under the rug.

Spying on the President of the United States is a big farking deal.

373 I can't see how Biden can run in 2024. They can barely let him shuffle out on stage for a few minutes as it is, in 2 more years they will have to record all his appearances, statements and press conferences and edit before releasing to the public. No way they can do that for a whole campaign. Even the LIV's would notice.

You assume that there will be elections in the future because they won't even let you entertain the idea that they actually overthrew the Constitutional Republic just over a year ago and replaced it with some mess that most people can't even identify who is running things - rather we have independent fiefdoms that have a loose coalition to defend each other.

In other words the Federal government has changed from a federation of States to a federation of agencies and departments. The States are just vassals to feed WallStreet DC with power and money.

Why would you have an election when YOU are the new controlling authority?

381 It is interesting to look at the lives of that whole "West Coast Gangsta Rap" crew now that they are in their 50s. When they started they were all legitimate ambitious kids from poverty areas. Their musical stage was funded and run by actual gangsters. To be popular, both with their original audience and to seem legitimate to the lucrative market of white teenagers (the exact demo that were previously into hair metal) they had to project being "gangstas" in real life. The ones that didn't just play with it ended up dead young. The ones that quickly distanced themselves and diversified lived on and became rich and are now approaching iconic status. Compare and contrast Tupac and Snoop Dog for a good example.

Well Sundance came out very clearly in 2019 saying Durham wasn't doing anything so I'm glad to hear he's back to pursuing things.

Durham is no fan of Mueller. Mueller was running the FBI office in Boston when the Whitey Bulger crap was going down and Durham sent corrupt FBI officers to federal prison. It wouldn't surprise me at all if he makes some links to Mueller since they clearly ignored the mountain of evidence that the whole Steele thing was corrupt and more.

402 In a just world there would be a special prosecutor for the enormous pay-to-play criminal enterprise known as The Clinton Foundation.

The Russia-Russia-Russia op happened in the time frame when Hillary's real, criminal home brew server set up was coming to a head. The Russia hoax was always primarily motivated to serve as distraction-by-going-on-offense.

To go deeper, what was the purpose of the private-server workaround? A: So Team Hillary could solicit bribes for the "Clinton Foundation" while she served as Sec of State--which she used for staff, lifestyle, and as her own slush fund to bribe other Democrats.

Her "service" as SoS was nothing if not trading the policy and favor of the United States for donations to her slush fund. The private servers were the essential means by which she could secretly conduct what amounted to a simple, yet massively scaled pay-to-play scheme.

The corruption of Russia Russia Russia are a pimple on a rat's ass compared to the ginormous influence peddling and corruption of Clinton Inc : decades of selling out the United States at the highest level to the Chicoms, Russkies and anyone with cash for Clintons.

If Nancy has changed her mind about retiring from the 2022 race, she is not doing that to be minority leader. The 2022 midterm elections might make the 2020 fraud look like writing in the margins by comparison.

They also opened up the first corporate trading company with the East Indies. It 's not their fault that the big crowds of people in Batavia could not fight off a few ships crewed by scurvy-ridden sea sick men who had just sailed around the Cape of Good Hope in tiny boats. Heck, the Dutch pulled off the greatest naval prank in history by sailing in a sneaky way up the Thames to the Medway River, cut through a harbor chain, and stealing the flagship of the British Fleet, the Ark Royal and sailing it back to Amsterdam under Admiral de Rutyer.
