WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi has directed federal prosecutors to launch a grand jury investigation into allegations that members of Democratic former President Barack Obama's administration manufactured intelligence on Russia's interference in the 2016 elections, a source familiar with the matter said on Monday.

Don’t be distracted — 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.

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. She and her campaign team accused Trump of collusion and then fed false and/or misleading information relating to that accusation to the FBI, after which it became the subject of alarmist reporting in the press. In the short run, it didn’t work — Clinton lost and Trump won. But in the long run, it upended American politics for years, and no one is the better for it.


And perhaps now...Hillary! answers for it.
Along with a lot of folks at the FBI.

Hillary Clinton is the right wing distraction to take the focus away from the utter failure of Pedo Don’s administration.

What you accuse is nearly always an admission

Isn’t it funny how Trump and Republicans are playing their greatest hits in order to divert attention away from the complete failure of this administration and the growing fragmentation of Pedo-Trump’s base?

Dope1: In light of that, look at Durham’s...

Umm, after a three-and-a-half-year investigation, Durham indicted three men.

One pleaded guilty to altering an email that was included in a June 2017 application for a surveillance warrant on a former Trump campaign aide and he was sentenced to probation. The other two men were tried and acquitted.

But, yeah, sure, now that a significant number of Americans are waking up to the fact that Mad King Donald ain't bringing down the price of groceries, "an old fashioned term but a beautiful term," and they're paying more for bacon, oj, toilet paper, coffee and pretty much everything else, as well as gasoline (I just paid $3.59/gallon) on top of the fact that he's not releasing the Epstein files as promised -- because he's a prominent pedo in those pages -- and you betcha it's time for Benghazi, Benghazi, Benghazi.

And Jeebus Christ on a cracker, you're using an op-ed in the Washington Examiner as your source material?

Now that's funny.

BTW, Trump is a pedophile.

It is a distraction, and deliberately so. They're yelling "squirrel!" in hopes that their own MAGA ranks will look away. Even the MAGA-verse is called the Administration out on the pedophile thing. Not that he'll lose many votes, but they want more answers than they feel they're getting.

I've seen some moderately deep-dives on "Russia Russia Russia". We already know pretty much everything there is to know, because it was investigated exhaustively. The Steele Dossier was iffy, but they unearthed a lot more stuff independently of that. Russia tried, and failed, to hack the election directly. But they were successful in launching a fake news campaign in social media. There were also a few invitations by one of the candidates at the time to hack the other candidate. Several people were caught and prosecuted.

We might regard reopening this as a waste of time. But, as stated in this thread, it's really just a desperate attempt to distract the masses, and hope they forget about the Felon-pedophile. They'll have to control the narrative very carefully, or it could blow up in their faces (again) because there was misconduct on the part of the Felon and his team. We already know that.

Ooo. This is getting good.

The Grand Jury will not be empaneled in New York or D.C.

Nope.

Since the Biden admin chose to raid Mar-a-Lago as a part of their alleged conspiracy…the GJ is going to be set up on Florida.

Yesssss.

This here is pretty much an onion burp of a post. Happens when all you consume intellectually is a lot of old tuna salad sandwiches.

You should clean up your diet, in a manner of speaking.
