…The FBI didn’t care about the details of the lies that were told to them; the lies served a purpose. The FBI purpose was to use the Steele Dossier as the foundation for a fraudulent all-encompassing search warrant against the Trump campaign and presidency, using Carter Page. That construct was always the motive of the DOJ/FBI use of Danchenko, Chris Steele and the infamous dossier that gave the DOJ the patina they needed for the FISA application.
The trial itself showed how corrupt the FBI and DOJ were in this scheme by: A) offering Chris Steele $1 million for proof of the dossier content. B) By making Danchenko a confidential human source for two years to shield him, “sources and methods”, from investigative inquiry. C) By paying Danchenko $200,000 for his time as a useful tool and confidential human source.
As CTH has stated from the outset of the entire scheme, the problem is institutional corruption. The personnel, administration, leadership and participants, within the DOJ, DOJ-NSD and FBI are corrupt.
Institutions do not become corrupt by themselves. People within the institutions are the cause of the corruption, and every person attached to the Trump-Russia investigation – including Robert Mueller, are corrupt. It was a scheme in 2016, which became a coverup operation in 2017, which became an explosive institutional problem in 2019 which Bill Barr was trying to manage.

This is a thread about what comes next in the Durham investigation
This is a thread about what comes next in the Durham investigation. Citing anonymous persons with knowledge, the press says Durham was ordered by AG Garland to submit a final report last May, and that that date has been moved back until after the Danchenko trial.
There are other possibilities that I’ll discuss. First, if the press is correct, it’s useful to understand what the final report would look like. The start would be to report on what Durham was ordered to do as special counsel. That’s found in Bill Barr’s order, here:
https://www.justice.gov/file/1370931/download
“ The Special Counsel is authorized to investigate whether any federal official, employee, or any other person or entity violated the law in connection with the intelligence, counter-intelligence, or law-enforcement activities directed at the 2016 presidential campaigns, …
“…individuals associated with those campaigns, and individuals associated with the administration of President Donald J. Trump, including but not limited to Crossfire Hurricane and the investigation of Special Counsel Robert S. Mueller, Ill.”
[This thread holds some hope that Durham will actually charge anyone of consequence and clean up some of the corruption. I strongly doubt that will happen but would love to be wrong about it. ABN]

Biden’s Department of Justice has recommended a prison term of 6 months for Contempt of Congress, of which he was found guilty of two counts in July. Bannon’s contempt charges stem from his refusal to comply with subpoenas from the January 6 committee in Congress, twice.
Bannon would also be slapped with a fine of $200,000 if the DOJ’s sentencing recommendations are headed by the judge, per Politico. Bannon plead not guilty to the charges, and sentencing will take place on October 21.

FCC poised to ban all U.S. sales of new Huawei and ZTE equipment
The Federal Communications Commission plans to ban all sales of new Huawei and ZTE telecommunications devices in the U.S. — as well as some sales of video surveillance equipment from three other Chinese firms — out of national security concerns, sources with direct knowledge of the private deliberations told Axios.
Why it matters: The move, which marks the first time the FCC has banned electronics equipment on national security grounds, closes a vise on the two Chinese companies that began tightening during the Trump administration.

Devin Nunes accuses AG Garland of ‘blocking’ Durham from charging Russiagate officials
Former House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes on Friday accused Attorney General Merrick Garland of ‘blocking’ Special Counsel John Durham from bringing charges against officials implicated in the Russiagate scandal.
“Something else going on with Durham,” Nunes said. “He has put systematically the FBI on trial here. He has showed us that there were so many people that were not just working for the Clinton campaign and the DNC. They also happen to be working for the FBI or later after the fact. They start to work for the FBI when they know that they’re actually liars… and they’re not credible.”
“So, I think what’s happening here, that Durham is being blocked, and I don’t say this lightly,” he added. “He is being blocked by somebody within the Department of Justice, or he cannot bring the charges that should be brought right now. And those are charges of conspiracy, of lying to Congress, misleading Congress, defrauding the government…”

Nunes is playing dumb. He knew all along Durham is coverup, not justice. The corruption and lawlessness within the federal government is so huge, no one can touch it and expect to survive. Nunes is a good guy but can only do so much, so he points a vague finger at a cloud of filth, indicating the issue is political at best. You don’t have to be black-pilled by this but it is a very dark red. Ultimately, the rule of law in America is upheld at the voting booth, which is not secure either but still possible, maybe. ABN
The FBI is still withholding records about Seth Rich and CrowdStrike
Yesterday the government asked for more time to respond to U.S. District Judge Amos Mazzant’s September 29, 2022 order directing the FBI to produce all records related to Seth Rich’s laptop. Somewhat relatedly, the FBI is withholding three reports produced by CrowdStrike in August of 2016 regarding the purported hack of the Democratic National Committee.
First the laptop. The FBI wants two more weeks so it can prepare a motion for reconsideration. As a courtesy, we have not objected to the request. According to the government’s motion, “the FBI is uncertain how to comply with the Court’s order as written, and the FBI is seeking input from a pending appellate consultation regarding the order to properly address this issue.”
The order itself is pretty straightforward, at least with respect to Seth’s personal laptop, because it directs the FBI to “produce the information it possesses related to Seth Rich’s laptop and responsive to Plaintiff’s FOIA requests within 14 days of this Order.” On the other hand, the order does not discuss Seth’s work laptop, which is also in the possession of the FBI.

During Trial Senior FBI Analyst Admits Agency Offered Dossier Author Chris Steele Up to One Million Dollars to Prove Authenticity of Claims
…Transparently everyone knows the FBI were not duped by Danchenko and records indicate Danchenko told them the Steele dossier was full of fabricated nonsense. Additionally, to keep the revelation of the dossier as nonsense hidden, the FBI hired Danchenko as a confidential human source, technically shielding him from being questioned or exposed. The FBI decision to hire Danchenko was to keep the fraudulent dossier useful for their Trump targeting operation.
So, what’s going on?
This is where John Durham is doing two things: (1) He is protecting the corrupt DOJ and FBI institutions by not investigating any government action; and yet, (2) Durham is exposing corrupt FBI and DOJ action through his court filings and cases. Yesterday Durham provided more evidence of just how corrupt the FBI was in the lead-in to the 2016 election.
FBI supervisory analyst Brian Auten testified Tuesday that Hillary Clinton’s contracted opposition researcher, Christopher Steele, hired by Fusion GPS to dig up dirt on Donald Trump, was offered up to $1 million by the FBI in early October 2016 if Chris Steele could prove the claims within the Trump dirt dossier he authored.

“Put it all together and you see the continuum.
(1) Donald Trump was being targeted by a corrupt DOJ and FBI. (2) Robert Mueller was installed in May 2017 to cover up the targeting. (3) When Mueller is nearing his completion, Bill Barr steps in to mitigate institutional damage from 1 and 2. (4) Barr maintains damage control and installs Durham. (5) Durham takes over the coverup operation from October 2020 (Danchenko safe to exit) through today.”
Biden insists his troubled son Hunter is now on the ‘straight and narrow’ – as the president shrugs off reports feds have enough evidence to charge him with tax and gun crimes by saying: ‘I didn’t know anything about it’
link
- The president downplayed an explosive report about potential charges facing his son Hunter Biden during a wide-ranging interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper
- He also explained his son’s controversial firearm ownership – despite previously vowing to stay out of it – and clarified he ‘didn’t know anything about it’
- A years-long probe into Biden’s only surviving son is rapidly coming to a head, a report in the Washington Post indicated last week
- It’s now up to a Trump-appointed prosecutor on whether to charge him
This is political super-spin aided and abetted by MSM and federal prosecutors. They focus on minor misdeeds and play the sympathy card in order to hide decades of Biden crime family misdeeds. ABN
“Get vaccinated for others was always a lie” ~ Robert Roos MEP
In COVID hearing, #Pfizer director admits: #vaccine was never tested on preventing transmission.
“Get vaccinated for others” was always a lie.
The only purpose of the #COVID passport: forcing people to get vaccinated.

America First Legal Sues 14 Federal Agencies for Refusing to Disclose the Biden Regime’s Takeover of Election Administration
The America First Legal Foundation (AFL) has sued fourteen federal agencies for concealing a secretive Biden regime plan to take over election administration ahead of the 2022 midterm elections.
In March of 2021, Joe Biden signed Executive Order 14019, “Promoting Access to Voting,” which called for all 600 federal agencies to submit to a “Strategic Plan” to “expand access to voter registration and election information.”
The order urges the agencies to use “agency materials, websites, online forms, social media platforms, and other points of public access” to educate the public on “how to register to vote”—including “multilingual voter registration and election information”—”how to request a vote-by-mail ballot, and how to cast a ballot in upcoming elections.”
Under the plan, federal agencies are also responsible for distributing voter registration and mail-in ballots, and for “soliciting and facilitating approved, nonpartisan third-party organizations and State officials” to provide voter registration services, and to assist voters “in completing voter registration and vote-by-mail ballot application forms.”
