I have become increasingly skeptical of much of what is going on in our government. AT writers and readers inspire me to question everything.(snip) In the same timeframe during which the Durham report was released, we also saw a report released on the FBI FISA abuses. We are supposed to be happy that only 278,000 unauthorized (illegal) warrantless searches occurred in 2020 and accept that the FBI has resolved this situation.Interesting...a system created to keep tabs on foreign threats is being used to illegally spy on American citizens at an alarming rate.

Its all bread and circuses in Clown World.
Meanwhile, in the real world, we get poorer and closer to being slaves to the freaks and weirdos in Washington/Davos...

So, why isn't perkins-cole being investigated and prosecuted. Because the Hag is associated with them?

I've always said Durham was nothing more than political theater designed to keep the peons placated while complete destruction of their beloved country was afoot. C'mon folks, if in fact Durham had been serious there could and would have been indictments YEARS ago. There was enough to indict some prior to the 2020 election. Barr and Durham are as much a part of the destruction of America as Obama and Clinton ever were..

Answer to headline question:
Probably, but not to worry, President Trump will see that it’s taken care of in January 2025, if not sooner.
MAGA

Justice department after 2025 must be entrusted to a non Ivy League flame thrower. Anybody with swamp ties is a non starter.

In corrupt dictatorships (is there any other kind?) you can be sure that what you don't know is worse than what has been revealed, much like the portion of the iceberg below the surface. A coup that overthrew the presidency and a biological weapon with a fake antidote that extends the killing, released on the entire population is hard to top. The intelligence, protection and law enforcement agencies based in Washington all participated in the coup and still continue to persecute honest patriots while protecting the underclass that is destroying America. They are deliberately bringing down the economy and fraternizing with long-time enemies. They have opened our borders to illegal invasion and continue to lie about all of it. Who knows what else lies behind the door? They do.
No to the hand-wringers, all is not lost and we are not screwed as long as we still want to keep this wonderful experiment in freedom that is America. We still have our pride and our weapons to resist all of the madness as many have fought similar madness in the past. As a good man once said, "Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition!"

Since the “vote” has been corrupted, and the Citizens of the USA have had our accountability tool removed, whatever the Dweebs in DC decide to do is OK with them. Our Representatives “represent” themselves and their donors, no one else. It is profoundly sad that no one in power will right this terrible wrong.

We are learning--after 7 years. Apparently you CAN teach an old dog new tricks. Most 7 year-olds are clever, nimble. mentally quick and resourceful. Doctor Anonymous said, ''Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.'' This couldn't have all been done by PIAPS the Angry. She had to buy help.

In DC whatever occurs must be in accordance with what the “system” dictates, anything else is considered to be an “insurrection” against the “system”. In that respect anyone who is elected who appears to be contrary to “system” operations must be investigated and got rid of.

Remember this? From Wiki: The White House FBI files controversy of the Clinton Administration, often referred to as Filegate,[1] arose in June 1996 around improper access in 1993 and 1994 to FBI security-clearance documents. Craig Livingstone, director of the White House's Office of Personnel Security, improperly requested, and received from the FBI, background reports concerning several hundred individuals without asking permission.
Back then, these uncalled for 'background checks' on Republicans who never would have wanted/needed/been given WH access numbered only about 1300.
Now, 278k? Wow.

Distraction - it always works, it's a proven tactic of the Deep State, so whenever it shows up, they're behind it.

Snort. Another Report.
As long as Facebook and TikTok still work, most don't care.

Yes#1 panem et circenses I see it in my family and acquaitences.
Women are distracted by glamour/celebrity - hollywood movies and tv as well as music. Men, by competition involving exceptional physical ability and /or violence
I rarely meet anyone who is informed of current events and when I do they usually relate the MSM accounts and opinions.
But they can tell me who won an oscar or grammy or some athletic event. I can name my State, Federal and local representatives but most know few if any.

BAC has just been charged with releasing payment records of anyone using their credit cards in DC from Jan 5-7, 2020. The SCOTUS has just ruled 9-0 that anyone that has dealt with anyone under investigation for tax issues may have their tax returns reviewed by the DOJ, without notifying the taxpayer. Google, Yahoo, Microsoft, Apple, all release your email information to government agencies without any warrant, or notification. Your license plate information is captured everytime you pass a license plate checkpoint, and is included in license plate databases everywhere. Your phone tracking data is released to law enforcement without any warrants. The names of all your neighbors is included in census data, readily available for anyone to check on you. Any landline you have connects you to databases that include your marriage records, postal moving records, police and birth records. If your name comes up, the government can find out everything about you from a computer terminal.

Don't worry. FBI director Faye Wray will require all FBI employees to undergo a one hour training course. Scheduled for late Friday afternoon next three-day holiday weekend.

The Durham report was slow walked to give obama as much time as he needed to steal the 2020 election and influence the 2022 election...thank God WE took the house back...so now the facts are surfacing...WE should have taken the senate as well...but WE weren't as quick as WE should have been....it's always a bait and switch with obama...if he wants you to look at his right hand...look at his left hand....he's slick....WE'll figure it out....just be patience....

Been having a bad feeling many things being discussed by the media are meant as a distraction. Don't ask what the media is talking about. Ask what they AREN'T talking about. First thing that comes to mind is the debt ceiling talks. No doubt about it, the destructive forces running our government want the country to default.

In a still functioning Constitutional Republic, Hillary Clinton would never have gotten the heads of the CIA, FBI, ODNI, etc to go along with her scheme to destroy her political opposition. Just what is her power: She's a Dem/Lefty? Any person with a shred of decency and respect for our Constitution would have said no way. I will not involve myself or my agency and its employees in such a treasonous action. Well, I guess I just answered my question. And a double pox on Barr and Durham who wasted our tax dollars only to confirm what we all suspected. Some prosecutor is Durham when after all that investigation - not one indictment.

Looking at the cover page of the Durham report, I see that it was released through Merrick Garland.
As Garland is as crooked as a dog's hind leg, this raises the following question in my mind:
Durham's report recommended "No further action" as far as prosecuting the guilty.... and there's a LOT of them!
Was making this 'no prosecution' recommendation a requirement imposed by Garland, without which Durham's report could not be released?
Hmmmm.....
It seems to me that if the miscreants had been Republicans, the full fury of the DOJ (and the Media!) would have been brought down on them in a New York Minute!

Conclusion: Keep Democrats away from Government operations. Better to outsource the FBI to the Finns than to allow a Demonrat near the controls.
