The wheels of Durham grind on
There’s a saying about justice that goes like this: “The wheels of justice turn slowly, but grind exceedingly fine.”
I think Durham took it to heart, because his wheels are still grinding.
The whole article is worth reading.
One hopes that the thoroughly corrupt DNC-operative/Russiagate-hoaxer Marc Elias (who has recently left the shady firm Perkins Coie) will be receiving his just deserts, but far too many others will never face any accounting for their multitudinous misdeeds, such as the newly-enriched Andrew McCabe and Norm Eisen, whose nefarious anti-Trumpian activities have been exposed at the invaluable RevolverNews.
Barr’s successor, the President Biden-nominated Attorney General Merrick Garland, testified last week that he has renewed funding and staffing for Durham’s far-reaching investigation for the next fiscal year. “[Y]ou can readily assume his budget has been approved,” Garland assured Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee.
Having a prevaricator with a demonstrable extreme bias against conservatives like Garland overseeing things doesn’t exactly fill me with confidence that justice will ever be served. My expectations can be measured in Planck lengths.
Yeah, yeah, yeah….. nice to know that the walrus with his soup-straining mustache is still slurping over the feeding trough but at this point… .C’MON, MAN…
So
Fu*king
What?
This has now become just a minor blob floating in the septic tank on the Potomac to no point. No REAL point at all.
Which… of course… was the point in the beginning of this sham.
Earth to Walrus: Get back to us when any of the real criminals start doing hard time. Until then just waddle off into the ashbin of history without sucking down another paycheck. thanking you in advace.
How come there’s only one photo of Durham? Does he really exist? You know that how?
Reacting to the Durham indictment, [Peter] Strzok recently tried to distance himself from the Alfa scandal, insisting in a Lawfare blog: “I had a minor role in the events in question, insofar as I transferred the material Sussman gave to Jim Baker, the FBI’s general counsel at the time, to the personnel who ultimately supervised and looked into the allegations.”
Peter Strzok strikes me as being a key hub and facilitator. Kind of a ex-Pfc. Wintergreen character, though his rank would be more like a Major perhaps. Who needs a director or asst. director of the FBI when Major Strzok has all the important operations under control?
Barr’s successor, the President Biden-nominated Attorney General Merrick Garland, testified last week that he has renewed funding and staffing for Durham’s far-reaching investigation for the next fiscal year. “[Y]ou can readily assume his budget has been approved,” Garland assured Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee.
It’s either bait and switch or Elias has run afoul of some faction in the Democratic Party.
THIS TIME IT’S DIFFERENT!
That ancient Greek proverb is usually rendered as “the mill[stone]s of the gods” or “the mills of God”. Longfellow’s version:
Though the mills of God grind slowly;
Yet they grind exceeding small;
Though with patience He stands waiting,
With exactness grinds He all.
What is taking so long? This is not just a lament, it is a very logical question. The duration of the Durham investigation means it must have uncovered substantial evidence of wrongdoing. But some things argue against such a conclusion, such as a lack of proverbial rats abandoning ship or other overt forms of panic. Thus the paradox is that its extended duration implies results, while at the same time there are none!
One resolution to the paradox is that the plot is so extensive and powerful that it can continue committing additional crimes in order to frustrate the investigation itself – kiting ever-bigger conspiracy checks as it were.
The political climate may eventually allow the investigation to be put out of its misery, if for no other reason than because at some point the conspiracy may comprise nearly the entire sitting government, of both parties!
“Without indictments there can be no excitement”, but my all means carry on with peeling the onion. With so many of the Federal agencies over-stepping their mission charters and operational boundaries to get on board with promoting the faux-scandal, is there much doubt that it wasn’t sanctioned from the Oval Office, or at least carrying its implicit blessing? It would be straight out of the Chicago playbook – using the Executive Power of Office to smear the new guy.
Amoral is the most apt word I could come up with to describe Clinton and her enablers. What others might fit the nature of her actions? Is there a word to describe one who has no conscience? One who can do some horrible thing, walk away from it and never think of it again?
I do so wonder if the anti-Trump, russia-gate investigation is Durham’s only job, or is he carrying a normal, varied case load.
Anyone have a clue?
I find it hard to get excited about Durham, not only because it’s gone on so long, but even if he does nail his cases to the wall, the DOJ will find ways to ignore the law and let them off.
They had Hillary dead to rights on her email server, but Comey just pretended the law meant something else.
That was one turning point towards cynicism for me.
huxley:
I’m not at all excited about Durham.
But I’m surprised he’s doing as much as he is right now. I had completely written him off. And so I’m willing to be pleasantly surprised if anything he does do ends up being for the good.
neo:
I find Durham is in a twilight zone. What does this mean? What expectations are appropriate?
And what does it mean that he is doing this with the Biden White House and AG Garland in charge of the DOJ?
If one is cynical, as one has every right to be these days, one might wonder if the Swamp has already gamed this one out and has no worries.
Trump, for instance, was dangerous and look what happened to him and his allies.
