Pam Bondi Convenes Grand Jury to Investigate RussiaGate Coup

As Guy Who Always Thinks Things Are Beginning says: And so it begins.

A grand jury, of course, is empowered to indict people for crimes. It also has great powers to demand testimony and subpoena documents.

Attorney General Pam Bondi has ordered a grand jury to investigate the Obama-era origins of the Trump-Russia collusion narrative following a criminal referral from DNI Tulsi Gabbard.
Key Details:
Bondi personally instructed a federal prosecutor to present DOJ findings to a grand jury, according to a letter reviewed by Fox News Digital.
The DOJ received Gabbard's referral two weeks ago, which included a memo alleging intelligence was suppressed showing Russian cyberattacks did not impact the 2016 election.
No indictments have been issued yet, and it's unclear whether the probe will result in charges, as statutes of limitations may have expired for some of the conduct.

...
According to a letter from Bondi reviewed by Fox News, the attorney general has ordered a federal prosecutor--whose name has not been made public--to begin grand jury proceedings and present relevant DOJ evidence. A spokesperson for the department declined to confirm the specific details but said Bondi is taking Gabbard's referral "very seriously," citing "clear cause for deep concern."

Byron York: Focus on what Hillary Clinton did.

This is perhaps the most important paragraph in Durham's 306-page report. It's worth reading carefully:

The Clinton Plan intelligence itself and on its face arguably suggested that private actors affiliated with the Clinton campaign were seeking in 2016 to promote a false or exaggerated narrative to the public and to U.S. government agencies about Trump's possible ties to Russia. Given the significant quantity of materials the FBI and other government agencies did in fact receive during the 2016 presidential election season and afterwards that originated with and/or were funded by the Clinton campaign or affiliated persons (i.e., the Steele Dossier reports, the Alfa Bank allegations, and the YotaPhone allegations), the Clinton Plan intelligence prompted the [special counsel's] office to consider (i) whether there was in fact a plan by the Clinton campaign to tie Trump to Russia in order to "stir up a scandal" in advance of the 2016 presidential election, and (ii) if such a plan existed, whether an aspect or component of that plan was to intentionally provide knowingly false and/or misleading information to the FBI or other agencies in furtherance of such a plan.

Oppo research is a nasty, but legal, method of politicking.

But Hillary Clinton didn't publish her oppo research so that the public would be persuaded by the smear. No, she passed it to the FBI with the intention of causing the government to attack her enemy.

1) By April, 2016, the Clinton campaign already had a contractor -- Steele -- working on developing damaging information on Trump and Russia.
2) By July 24, the campaign was publicly raising the charge of Trump-Russia collusion, and the New York Times reported the topic was "emerging as a theme of Mrs. Clinton's campaign."
3) Also in July, Steele contacted an FBI agent and "requested an urgent meeting," according to the Durham report. There Steele gave the FBI one of his first reports. It alleged, famously, that "Russian authorities had been cultivating and supporting US Republican president candidate Donald Trump for at least five years," an operation that was "both supported and directed by Russian President Vladimir Putin." It also alleged, infamously, that Russian spy cameras had recorded "Trump's (perverted) conduct in Moscow" including "employing a number of prostitutes to perform a 'golden showers' (urination) show in front of him." That was the salacious and wildly false allegation that later became known as the "pee tape." It is without any doubt an example of the Clinton campaign, working through its contractor Steele, providing "false and/or misleading information to the FBI or other agencies."
4) After July, Steele worked hard to funnel his anti-Trump material into the media. For journalists, the dossier's unsupported gossip would be legitimized by the fact that the FBI was investigating it.
5) In September, a Democratic lawyer working on behalf of the Clinton campaign, Michael Sussmann, planted a false allegation about Trump and Russia -- the so-called Alfa Bank story -- with the FBI. At the time, Sussmann denied he was acting for the Clinton team, even though he billed the campaign for the outreach to the FBI.
In light of that, look at Durham's two questions: "(i) whether there was in fact a plan by the Clinton campaign to tie Trump to Russia in order to 'stir up a scandal' in advance of the 2016 presidential election, and (ii) if such a plan existed, whether an aspect or component of that plan was to intentionally provide knowingly false and/or misleading information to the FBI or other agencies in furtherance of such a plan."
The answer to (i) is yes, there was a plan. The answer to (ii)? Well, there is no question that the Clinton campaign provided false and/or misleading information to the FBI. Whether it did so knowing the information was false and/or misleading is still a point of argument, at least among Democrats. In light of the entirety of what is now known, it seems extremely hard to believe the campaign did not know its feeds to the FBI were false and/or misleading.
Still, in the most basic sense, we know what Hillary Clinton did. It wasn't just opposition research.

.@JonathanTurley on the Russiagate grand jury: "This is the first necessary step to finding out about the *real* Russian conspiracy. There never was a Russian collusion conspiracy; that was hatched by the Clinton campaign... It's amazing how much the public still doesn't know." pic.twitter.com/ukrCIPhFsn

31 Where is the grand jury looking into this sorry band of dickballs convened? That could be determinative. In theory, they could convene the GJ in FL. If so, there might be a small chance of indictments. If not, and the GJ is conveyed in a blue stronghold like DC, you can forget about it.

Not released on purpose. Could possibly DC as Jeannette Pirro has now been confirmed by the Senate as DA. Could be elsewhere that has a confirmed solid DA. Depending on the circumstances, it is possible that DoJ simply tacks this investigation on to an already empaneled grand jury. A lot of the documents have now been declassified and so can be used to grill subpoened witnesses starting with the small fry.

46 I think this is what Hillary meant by being screwed when Trump won. He has access to materials and an AG that will pursue it. He gave her a reprieve in his first term, not making the same mistake again in his second. She'll fight tooth and nail, and the media will be foursquare in her corner, but there is hope finally that the wheels of justice will grind the Clintons and their allies into powder. Or at least expose and end the grift of the Clinton Global Initiative and make them use those resources up for their defense.

Leave Obama out of it beyond label of “unindicted co-conspirator” Their jealousy will result in other forms of payback to him.

=======
Tolling (aka time toward a statute of limitation) is one of the more complex issues in law. Conspiracy charges, for example, start tolling with the last overt act of the conspiracy including all the conspirators up to that point. RICO charges are another complex situation for tolling.

And then there is the problem of procedural crimes like obstruction and lying during the current investigation. Tolling (time to statutory limitation) on those begins with their questioning by federal agents and grand juries.

And if you want to be particularly cruel, you can stack the charges--e.g. for each lie, for each check, etc. which is exactly what Bragg did to Trump.

The idea we can just redistrict Jasmine C. out of her district feels too good to be true. There's always a catch.

Also, check out the gerrymandering in the Bronx and Harlem. Black dems in NYC have carved out insane district lines, so they can stay in power vs the district falling to a latino rep, since most of those neighborhoods are changing to latino.

74 If they set up the grand jury in DC odds are no one will be indicted, and the judge will then rule the the new White House ballroom should have parquet floors.

It'll be hard, even with defendants rolling on each other, to ever get a conviction. Because just 1 liberal on the jury and they'll block any unanimous guilty verdict, as liberals choose loyalty over law every day of the week. Even if some how they do get a guilty verdict, if the judge is anything left of Justice Thomas, they use one of the bullshit rules to throw the case out based on nothing but their own bias.

The only time liberals ever face justice is when they turn their back on the alpha liberals, like Robert Menendez did, as the Democrats playbook is to always go back to their commie roots

And, of course, there were plenty of FBI employees and other members of the executive branch, especially at the top, who were willing to do anything Hillary wanted. That's the biggest scandal; everyone knows what Hillary is.

92 Warai-otoko, I saw your thoughts in a previous thread about getting all stainless steel cabinets for a kitchen.

My hubby wants to do that, when we finally have money to remodel. I do love that it will be so sanitary and clean, but I don't want it to feel cold. We are compromising on stainless steal flat surfaces an interiors, with the cupboard fronts being a painted wood to add some warmth. And a stainless steel farmhouse sink vs the white ones.

The one problem is the stainless steel scratches/dents over time really bad. So we might have to invest in countertop covers to put over it when it's not in use.

(All of this is fun dreaming, we have zero budget for a remodel at this point.)

Depends. A grand jury investigating CIA aka Brennan's acts could be convened in NoVA. Misuse of NSA intercepts, in Eastern District of MD, and so on.

Vicinage (jury of peers) and jurisdiction (proper place to lodge case) in the Constitution requires jurisdiction where the charged conduct occurred and a jury of peers from that jurisdiction to decide the case.

Jurisdiction is often a stumbling block as it was for the late awful special inquisitor Smith.

It's my understanding that the "no show" warrants a re civil matter, and not extraditable, but he is also charging the Donks with bribery for accepting benefits to make good their escape, and bribery is a second-degree felony, which is extraditable.

I don’t know what the fuck they’re doing. It’s almost like they’re digging up dirt putting it back and doing it again. It’s bizarre.

Posted by: Steve_in_SoCal

You can't respond to a subpoena that you take the fifth, you have to show up in the court room to do it in person before the grand jury. Plus, you don't get your lawyer to sit beside you in that room.

And if the grand jury extends transactional immunity for the testimony, you have to talk or risk civil and perhaps criminal contempt of court charges. Civil contempt allows you to be held up to 364 days in jail (365 in leap years) for failing to testify. See Susan McDougal for an example.

For a child born between December 24, 1952, and November 13, 1986, the U.S. citizen parent needed to have been physically present in the United States or its outlying possessions for 10 years before the child's birth, with at least five of those years occurring after the parent turned 14.

305 Humanitarian corridors and operational pauses have been used throughout the campaign in Gaza. In addition there are nearly continuous warnings and advisories to specific areas or whole communities in advance of IDF operations, usually with evacuation instructions and maps.

It's a redundant test of how ignorant, stupid, bigoted, and lazy most of the planet is - to include especially "elites" and especially what passes for a "press" and governing cliques - that there is the slightest controversy about any of this. Other than white-hot outrage at the comically evil, mendacious, criminal gangster operation known as Hamas.

Wall to wall primetime coverage TV and radio coverage should be mandatory. If Watergate cockup and the phony J6 star chamber got this type of coverage, surely something of this magnitude deserves nothing less.

Nailing the asses of Comey, Brennan, Clapper, Rice, McCabe, and others to the wall with convictions for conspiracy would be a complete victory.

Possibly, although at some point birth certificates stopped listing race. But back in his day, they probably did. Possibly also listed religion as "Muslim." Modern birth certificates don't show any religion. But some of the older ones did.

325 Oppo research is a nasty, but legal, method of politicking.

But Hillary Clinton didn't publish her oppo research so that the public would be persuaded by the smear. No, she passed it to the FBI with the intention of causing the government to attack her enemy.

Um. Because the public laughed at the Pee-pee tape thing as soon as it was released.

They had nothing, so they had to go right to government action.

I still remember the night CNN linked to Buzzfeed who broke the story of the "Steele Dossier" because Comey gave the press a "press hook" by briefing Donald Trump on unmitigated bullshit.

They were high-fiving and saying Trump was toast. And then normal people started reading it, and started asking, "Wait. You BELIEVE this stuff?"

I thought it was just my reaction, until I saw it spreading and spreading.

Our press was perhaps one of the most bubble-locked press we've ever seen.

Beat them in water polo to get to CIF (state-wide competition system). They were definitely a better team. Like many in that time, they had football players who could swim they used as "hole men" (stay in front of the net, get a pass, turn and fire), very hard to guard them.

But our 2nd game against them was at our 3rd pool of that year (city schools didn't have their own pools) - at NAS Miramar. The pool used in the award scene in "Top Gun", where "Ice" gets the nod and says he'll be Maverick's wingman any time.

All the bootstrapping would be evident, such as Clinesmith (Whoopsie!) flipping Page's association to the CIA, just so the FISA application could stress how ODD it is that Page has all these dealings with the RUSSIANS, and is probably a Russian asset.

And then when it was first found out, it was time for the rank of judges to step up and keep everybody from serving serious time.

Clinesmith, despite providing THE cover to draft the fraudulent FISA application, got to claim it was an "honest mistake".

Yeah, I can see how not remembering an answer, makes you assist in a legal application 180-degrees from the answer you forgot they gave you.
