The Billionaire Tax will be for Everyone


Armstrong Economics Blog/The Hunt for Taxes Re-Posted Nov 9, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

Biden’s Wealth Tax is going to be very dangerous. For now, it is called the Billionaires’ Tax which means all assets are to be taxed worldwide. That will include the stock market, real estate, rare art, comic books, classic cars, jewelry, and collectibles. This new tax would apply solely, for now, to people with at least $1 billion in assets or $100 million in income for three straight years. These standards mean that just 700 taxpayers would face the additional tax on increases to their wealth.

Liquid assets, such as stocks, will be subject to the Billionaires’ Tax so they will pay this wealth tax on top of income taxes when they sell them. Bezos sold $2 billion worth of shares claiming g to link this to climate change but it certainly made sense to do this now. The way this tax will work is that they will be taxed only on any increases in value and take deductions on losses. Under current law, those assets get taxed only when they are sold. Therefore, this is like a property tax.

The problem will be that the Billionaires’ Tax would also face an additional tax on nontradeable/nonliquid assets such as real estate and business interests once those assets are sold. During the first year of the proposed tax, the billionaires would also owe taxes on any built-in gains that predate the tax.

The Billionaire Tax will be for Everyone

They passed the Income Tax in 1913 swearing it would only apply to the rich. Once any tax is created, it will NEVER be rescinded and as such it will always be expended the same way they keep redefining who is actually the hated rich. Nancy Pelosi said on CNN that the tax would raise $200 billion to $250 billion. This is nonsense and it presumes a constant bull market. This will never pay for the spending of Biden claiming it will not raise the deficit. This simply means that that additional taxes such as the global minimum tax and increased enforcement dollars for the IRS would still be needed to help close the gap. The easy way is to just redefine the rich.

Clinton’s tax hike redefined the rich by changing the brackets. They could even impose a tax based upon vaccination or not. The Supreme Court will no longer defend the people for fear that Biden will try to stack the court when his report of that is delivered December 15th. Biden is just the placeholder and he will sign whatever is put in front of him.

There is absolutely no need for this infrastructure bill whatsoever. Help Wanted signs are everywhere. Just end the COVID exaggerated restrictions and the economy would bounce back,

Why Biden Does not Care About his Polls


Armstrong Economics Blog/Politics Re-Posted Nov 8, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

Now the USA Today/Suffolk University survey showed just 37.8% of Americans approve of Biden’s performance in office. A whopping 70% say the US is headed in the wrong direction. The outrageous discussion of handing $450,000 up to $1 million per family that came to American illegally and their children were separated into juvenile camps has so many people really upset.

dated report from the University of Indiana published in 2009, suggested that the ENTIRE lifetime earnings of an American was $900,000 at a minimum and if they had a bachelor’s degree, that could rise to $1.8 million. The Biden Administration is proposing at least $450,000 per family up to $1 million is an insult to all Americans who pay taxes. What the Biden Administration is proposing is to hand tax-free half the lifetime earnings of the basic American for illegally coming to the United States, to begin with. No other country in the world would act in such an irresponsible manner.

Biden is a placeholder. There is no way he will ever run for election in 2024. His handlers are doing what they want to do and they could care less about Biden’s reputation or legacy. They have usurped the power of the Presidency, imposing vaccine mandates that were never submitted to Congress proving this is a dictatorship – not a democratic process. The United States has undergone a political coup and Biden is so not with it, he did not even know that his “Build Back Better” agenda was drafted at the World Economic Forum and was not his original idea.

Biden has no idea what is really going on and calling it his Build Back Better agenda as if he is the one the came up with this just proves the United States is now being run by a foreign organization. Historically, this has been the scenario that typically leads to military interventions to remove such corrupt political influences.

Purposeful Crisis Keeps Unfolding as Biden’s Irrelevant Polling Keeps Collapsing – White House Vaccine Mandates Promoted, While Courts Attempt to Block


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on November 8, 2021 | Sundance | 574 Comments

We are witnessing a very specific type of electoral frustration caused by officials within a system attempting to stop a communist style fundamental change by taking action within the same system simultaneously collapsing through the actions of the communists.

Joe Biden’s approval rating has collapsed to the lowest level in history {data here} ,which would normally cause a pause amid the political operators.

However, in this new era, where collapsing the U.S. economic and social system is the objective, the polling is irrelevant.

The Obama plan to use Biden as a disposable figure was designed for one specific four year term of maximum damage.

The polling is irrelevant.

Evidence of this purpose is found in the White House telling businesses to continue operating as if the vaccine mandate is legally authorized, despite a court ordered injunction against it {data here}.  We are in a post-constitutional system now where the traditional checks and balances are ignored.   This is a very Machiavellian approach being deployed against the American people.

The U.S. borders are unsecured, and illegal alien hordes are intentionally welcomed.  Again, by design.   Simultaneously, the U.S. military is likely to be put into a crisis position by thousands of critical servicemen rejecting the mandated vaccine {data here}.  Yes, another element of the design.  Saul Alinsky taught the designers how to overwhelm and collapse the system, they are doing exactly that.

The recent off-year election showed millions of Americans rejecting the crisis they are having to deal with.  Yet again, the radicals collapsing the system and creating the crisis do not flinch.  Election losses this year and into the 2022 mid-terms will do little to halt the onslaught.  The communist network operators have all been simultaneously triggered and activated.

These outcomes are akin to implanted terror cells that lay dormant for years and suddenly begin detonating their devices.  There are explosions everywhere, except these are not suicide vests, these are pre-planted deployments.

Education networks pushing CRT {BOOM} radical teachers unions unfazed.  Transportation and supply chains {BOOM} environmental activists unfazed.  Communication networks and social media tools for organizing {BOOM} big tech unfazed.  Legislative branch {BOOM} congressional representation unfazed.  Judicial branch {BOOM} courts ignored.  Justice Department {BOOM} DOJ and FBI unfazed.  It’s not only direct assaults, the collateral damage is the intended primary target.

Inflation is skyrocketing as a direct consequence of the design {Boom} middle class is collateral damage, the communists don’t care.  Food and gasoline prices climbing creating massive pain for consumers {BOOM} the communists shrug – no biggie watch us shut down more pipelines.  Major health impacts from forced vaccinations that were not appropriately tested {BOOM}, they don’t care – vax harder, vaccinate kids.  The collective program is designed to create maximum destabilization of all systems simultaneously.

Nothing within their plan requires the approval or consent of any representative body in Washington DC.  COVID is the tool to “fundamentally change” the way the United States exists.

Joe Biden is a disposable front-man for the people organizing the objective, so they don’t have to worry about political damage. The Biden term was designed for a single set of four-year rapid advancements for the Democrat Socialist agenda. The Biden poll ratings and favorability, or lack therein, do not factor into the plan of action; those issues are irrelevant.

Those behind the executive branch; those controlling Joe Biden; are harnessing and weaponizing power; a power dynamic created by fear and enabled by COVID narratives writ large.  Meanwhile, the legislative leftists are attempting to ensure the new systems they create under the guise of COVID-19 are never in a position to be withdrawn.

That’s the bigger picture.

That’s what they mean by “Build Back Better“.

The FIRST STEP in defending against this onslaught is to stop excusing it by saying they don’t know what they are doing, or any version of the incompetency argument.  They know exactly what they are doing.

Transportation Secretary – Forget Gas Prices and Supply Chain Chaos, Bridges and Roads are Racist

Last week in an event to promote ‘environmental justice‘, Kamala Harris emphasized the priorities of the Biden administration when she held an event to highlight how trees are racist.  This week Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg wanted to promote ‘construction and logistic equity‘ while emphasizing the priorities of the Biden administration, so Buttigieg declared that roads and bridges are racist. WATCH:

Case Against Kyle Rittenhouse Collapses As Key Attacker Admits Rittenhouse Did Not Shoot Until Witness Pointed a Gun At Him


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on November 8, 2021 | Sundance | 307 Comments

Gaige Grosskreutz was one of the attackers of Kyle Rittenhouse in Kenosha Wisconsin last year.  After giving testimony earlier today attempting to paint himself as a victim of Rittenhouse, the witness/attacker admitted today in during cross examination he was shot only after he threatened Rittenhouse by pointing a gun at him inches away from his head.

While the prosecution hoped Grosskreutz’s sketchy testimony would assist their case, the actual testimony supports the defense claim of Rittenhouse acting in self defense after being attacked by a mob.  The crushing admission is below (prompted to 08:10) WATCH:

The prosecution case just collapsed.  Rittenhouse, now 18, is charged with homicide and attempted homicide for shooting three people during the Kenosha riots as the mob attacked him.  Rittenhouse shot and killed 36-year-old Joseph Rosenbaum, 26-year-old Anthony Huber, and wounded Gaige Grosskreutz.  All of the people shot by Rittenhouse were attacking him at the time.

New Evidence of FBI Involvement in the 1/6 Protest — With Darren Beattie, Who Broke the Story

Rumble — When former Trump speechwriter Darren Beattie reported in June that there was evidence suggesting FBI foreknowledge of the January 6 protest at the Capitol, if not active involvement, the corporate media mocked him and others who took it seriously for being deranged conspiracy theories. But now, the New York Times just reported that the FBI had at least one informant at the Capitol on that day. On the latest SYSTEM UPDATE, Glenn Greenwald speaks to Beattie about what do know now about involvement by the FBI and other law enforcement agencies. They also discuss whether concept of “right” and “left” are changing radically.

Why Aren’t Democrats Protesting the Biden DOJ Over Lack of 1/6 Insurrection Charges?


Posted originally on Rumble Glenn Greenwald  Published November 2, 2021 42,257 Views

Rumble — For the last 9 months, Democrats in politics and media have insisted that 1/6 was the worst attack on American democracy since the Civil War, that it entailed crimes of sedition, treason, insurrection, and attempted murder and kidnapping of elected officials. Yet thus far, not a single American has been charged with any of those crimes. If Democrats believe this narrative, why are they not enraged at the Biden DOJ?

Senator Rick Scott Says He Will Support Lisa Murkowski Reelection and Hopes to Work With Democrats in A Republican Majority Senate


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on November 7, 2021 | Sundance | 163 Comments

Florida Senator Rick Scott appears on Meet the Press with the insufferable Chuck Todd, to answer the DNC questions posed by the toad.   You don’t need to put yourself through the strain of the entire ‘gotcha’-framed Q& A; however, in the first three minutes Senator Scott proclaims he will work and fund the re-election campaign of notorious DeceptiCon Lisa Murkowski.

Senator Scott is in charge of the National Senatorial Republican Committee (NRSC), the organization that collects the donations from the Wall Street machinery.  As a consequence, the NRSC will fund Lisa Murkowski’s reelection campaign despite the base of the party wanting to get rid of her.  WATCH:

The professionally Republican are annoying.  Thune replaces McConnell. Barrasso replaces Thune, Scott replaces Barrasso.

A pox on their cocktail club, mahogany desk and Corinthian leather wing-back chair lifestyle.  :::spit:::

Stop Looking at Danchenko, Start Looking at Andrew Weissmann and Robert Mueller


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on November 7, 2021 | Sundance | 126 Comments

TechnoFog has a good outline on the background of Igor Danchenko and the DOJ/FBI team effort to avoid undermining the Steele Dossier. {SEE HERE}  The accurate analysis ends with the following question, also posed by Sergei Millian: “Why was the DOJ/FBI covering for Danchenko“?

To my friends in the truth media, the answer is inside the information previously released {See Here} which we have covered for a long time; and which the righteous media (Mollie Hemmingway, Lee Smith, Kimberley Strassel, etc) are hopefully only a few weeks away from outlining.

The DOJ/FBI coverup, which included being purposefully blind to the 2017 Danchenko revelations, was not done to protect Danchenko. It was done to protect Andrew Weissmann and Robert Mueller.

Yes, the FBI and DOJ knew the primary subsource for Christopher Steele, Igor Danchenko, disavowed the material in the dossier and undermined it in January of 2017 and again in June 15, 2017, as everyone is noting.  Yes, despite that knowledge Mueller/Weissmann applied for a FISA renewal on June 29th.  However, there’s a date a year later, all the way into July of 2018, when the DOJ and FBI claimed that Danchenko was speaking truth in their affirmation to the FISA court.

THAT is in 2018.

Why would the same DOJ/FBI officials who knew the dossier was junk in early 2017 lie to the FISA court in 2018?

ANSWER: Because they were not protecting Danchenko, they were protecting Robert Mueller.

Robert Muller was appointed by institutional preservationist Rod Rosenstein in order to cover up the era of government abuse and political weaponization by corrupt and highly political FBI and DOJ officials.   Robert Mueller was as much the Special Counsel as Joe Biden is the current presidency; which is to say they are figureheads, avatars, public faces to activity that is really underway by those behind them.

When Mueller appeared before congress, the public got their first-hand look at how disconnected he was from any actual involvement in the investigation that carried his name.  He knew virtually nothing about the two year investigation, because he was a title in name only.  The real players charged to throw a bag over the corrupt activity preceding their appointment was the team led by Andrew Weissmann.

When Andrew Weissmann and crew entered the DOJ to effectively run the Trump-Russia investigation, their purpose was to: (1) continue what was ongoing; and (2) coverup all that came before.   AG Jeff Sessions recused himself, and DAG Rod Rosenstein became the co-dependent enabler for the Weissmann crew’s needs.

During a June 2020 Senate hearing, Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein openly admitted to being nothing more than the rubber stamp for every request.  Rosenstein approved every request, signed every authorization and agreed to every scope expansion Andrew Weissmann put in front of him.  There was nothing Rosenstein ever denied the Weissmann crew.

Team Weissmann, under the authorities of a blank-check special counsel, effectively ran Main Justice top to bottom for two years.  When you accept the framework Rosenstein later admitted was in place, then you understand that anything blocked from DOJ/FBI release (see Nunes pleas) was blocked by Weissmann Inc; and everything that ever came out of the DOJ/FBI was released by Weissmann Inc.   Reread that as many times as needed until it sinks in.

Back to the question about why the DOJ/FBI were protecting Danchenko by not exposing the lies that John Durham is now making public in his indictments.

To wit, I would reference you THAT specific moment in July of 2018 when Team Weissmann wrote a letter to the FISA Court that was increasingly distrusting of what they were seeing and hearing within the justice system:

Look at how the FISA was used by the Mueller investigation to continue its weaponization throughout 2017 and even into 2018. In July of 2018, long after the source material was debunked, the special counsel office was still telling the FISA court the predication for the FISA application and subsequent renewals was valid.

Drive this point home.  This is a key to understanding the scope of how weaponized the Mueller team was.

In July of 2018 the special counsel resistance group was lying to the FISA court in order to protect the cornerstone document that permitted them to weaponize the intelligence apparatus.

This letter was written July 12, 2018. It is NOT accidental that only a week later, July 21st, the special counsel released the FISA application under the guise of FOIA fulfillment.

Aside from the date, the important part of the first page is the motive for sending it. The Mueller team running the DOJ is telling the court in July 2018: based on what they know the FISA application still contains “sufficient predication for the Court to have found probable cause” to approve the application. The resistance unit running the DOJ is defending the Carter Page FISA application as still valid.

On page #8 [Source Document Here] when discussing Christopher Steele’s sub-source, Igor Danchenko, the special counsel group notes the FBI found Danchenko to be truthful and cooperative.

This is an incredibly misleading statement to the FISA court, because what the letter doesn’t say is that 18-months earlier Danchenko, also known in the IG report as the “primary sub-source”, disavowed the content and informed the FBI that the material attributed to him in the dossier was essentially junk.

By July 2018, the DOJ clearly knew the dossier was full of fabrications, yet they withheld that information from the court and said the predicate was still valid. Why?

It doesn’t take a deep-weeds-walker to identify the DOJ motive.  In July 2018 Robert Mueller’s investigation was at its apex.

This letter justifying the application and claiming that current information would still be a valid predicate therein, speaks to the 2018 DOJ needing to retain the validity of the FISA warrant.  The the DOJ needed to protect evidence Mueller/Weissmann had already extracted from the fraudulently obtained FISA authority.  Protect the ‘fruit of the poisoned tree’, that’s the motive.

In July 2018, if the DOJ-NSD had admitted the FISA application and all renewals were fatally flawed, Robert Mueller/Andrew Weismann may have needed to withdraw any evidence gathered as a result of its exploitation. The DOJ in 2018 was protecting Mueller’s poisoned fruit.

If the DOJ had been honest with the court, there’s a strong possibility some, perhaps much, of Mueller evidence gathering would have been invalidated… and cases were pending. The solution: mislead the court, ie. lie, and claim the predication was still valid.

That’s the bigger issue.  Forget Danchenko and go there.

Critical to Understanding Where Durham is Going, Ratcliffe Highlights The August 2016 White House Discussion – Team Clinton Compromising Team Obama


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on November 7, 2021 | Sundance | 347 Comments

An interview by Maria Bartiromo this morning highlights one of the dynamics almost invisible to most voices who speak on a granular level about the background of Spygate, and where they believe John Durham is going.   In this interview, former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe outlines the moment in August of 2016 when Team Obama (he uses John Brennan) tells the president what Team Clinton is doing.

To set the correct context to understand the importance of what Ratcliffe is outlining here, it is important to remember that inside the executive branch of government, heading into the 2016 election, the two distinct camps were operating based on their perspective of their individual best interests.  Two distinct camps – Team Clinton and Team Obama.

Watch the interview while paying close attention to the dates and personalities that Ratcliffe is outlining.  I will expand on the background to explain how these issues surface in the investigation of John Durham; where he will go and where he will not go.  WATCH:

To understand the context Ratcliffe is explaining, it is important to go back to the relationship that existed between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.  It is from this relationship when things start to fall into place, as the Clinton camp was operating in the year of the 2016 election.  Grab a beverage, this is going to get weedy…

Deep political followers will remember well the 2008 Democrat primary between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.  It was a brutal battle within the Democrat Party between radical ideologues (Team Obama) and the entrenched establishment old guard (Team Clinton).

Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton hated each other.

Team Obama were radical progressives with idealistic objectives to fundamentally change America.  Team Clinton were power hungry politicians from a traditional Democrat perspective. The Clintons focused on power for the benefit of their own affluence and gain.   In essence, team Obama were true believers (communists). Team Clinton were following their traditional path looking for power and wealth (crony capitalists).  This underpinned the primary battle.

As an outcome of the battle, Team Obama won, but the PUMAS were born (ie. Party Unity My Ass).

To heal the DNC scars, although they still hated each other, Obama essentially gave Clinton the Secretary of State job so she could get what was always important, money.  Giving her the SoS position allowed Hillary to keep making money for the Clinton Global Initiative, an international money laundering operation selling influence.   Hillary accepted and did exactly that, selling influence to gain affluence throughout her tenure as Secretary.

The Clinton-Obama détente also came with an agreement.  When Obama was done, he wouldn’t do anything to interfere with Hillary’s quest for the White House.  But keep in mind, the underlying difference between Hillary and Obama (graft/power -vs- true believer/fundamental change) was always present in the two camps as they worked deep within the institutions of government.

Hillary used the State Dept as her own little fiat system.  The State Dept was filled with like-minded Hillary supporters.  When Hillary left the Obama administration at the end of the first term, Obama agreed to accept a personal liaison, Clinton acolyte John Podesta, implanted into  the White House to protect her future interests.

Few people have paid attention to the importance of that personnel move.

In the lead up to what would be the 2016 election, John Podesta was inside the White House as an advisor of sorts.  However, John Podesta was not advising Team Obama. Instead Podesta’s job was to relay information to Clinton about what was going on inside the White House in 2014 and 2015.

Podesta was there because Clinton and Obama did not trust each other.  Podesta, Clinton’s personal fixer, was in the White House to keep an eye on things.  I have often reminded people of that dynamic with pictures of Podesta sitting in the wings:

Fast forward into 2016…  Inside the executive branch, as the 2016 election primaries were taking place, you still had this Team Obama -vs- Team Clinton dynamic in place.  Now however, the Clinton camp looked at their responsibility with an operational objective to get Hillary elected as the next administration.

Team Clinton included the continued majority of administration officials within the State Department.  Inside the other institutions of the executive there were also Clinton team members, as well as officials looking to curry favor and advancement for the Clinton administration if she were to win the 2016 election.

In addition to almost all the State Dept officials, team Clinton included: Leon Panetta, Mike Morrell, Deputy AG Sally Yates, Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe, and a host of other key workers/opportunists within the institutions like: Lisa Page, Peter Strzok, David Laufman and the entire DOJ/FBI crew who worked on the Clinton email and Huma Abedin laptop investigation specifically motivated to clear Clinton including FBI Director James Comey.

Team Obama always consisted of entrenched loyalists to the bigger cause, and Valerie Jarret ensured everyone stayed focused on the Obama team priority of fundamental and structural change.  Obama loyalists included: Lisa Monaco, Susan Rice, Samantha Powers, Kathryn Reummler, John Brennan, Denis McDonough, Jack Lew, Eric Holder/Loretta Lynch etc.

Team Clinton was using the machinery inside government to position Hillary for victory in November 2016.

When it became clear that Donald Trump was going to be her opponent (after Super Tuesday, March 2016), the political weaponization of that machinery now had a target – Donald J. Trump.

Clinton hired Fusion GPS in April 2016 for the purpose of targeting her opponent Donald Trump.  The Clinton State Dept officials, Clinton Intelligence officials, Clinton DOJ and FBI officials and Clinton-allied federal contractors now had a target.   The “I’m With Her” media were awaiting information to receive and deploy against her opponent.  All of the various Clinton aligned internal and external operatives in government began executing the larger plan to assist, protect and advance Hillary.

♦ However, there was a problem –  Through the summer of 2016, the Clinton activity was too intense and too transparent as conducted by participants inside government. The aggressive use of the intelligence community was creating a risk.  After all, many of the operations being run to benefit Hillary politically were being done under the umbrella of the Obama administration.

If Hillary Clinton’s crew went too far… which they did…. they could be putting President Obama in a position of compromise.  That was a problem for Team Obama loyalists and the people who had worked too hard on the fundamental change.

Team Obama did not want to see their successful accomplishments and ongoing objectives put into a spotlight of illegality because Team Clinton was using the machinery of Obama’s administration to target her political opposition.  THAT background was the topic of the August 2016 meeting Ratcliffe is drawing attention to today.

CIA Director John Brennan meeting with President Obama in the Oval Office in August 2016 is informing him of the visible nature of the weaponization of government that Team Clinton was executing.

Team Obama then gave Team Clinton a serious slap across the knuckles, telling them they better come up with a legal justification for their use of the intelligence community against Donald Trump….  THAT is AUGUST 2016…  THAT is why the Clinton crew inside the DOJ and FBI operation needed to come up with a legal justification for their prior intelligence deployments….  THAT is why the DOJ/FBI needed the FISA warrant.

Following the warning provided by Team Obama, the Clinton team then put together a plan to use Carter Page as a vessel for a Title-1 search warrant that could be used as justification for their pre-existing use of the intelligence apparatus against Donald Trump.   The FISA application was put together to justify the Clinton operations; however, the FISA application was weak-sauce…. thus, they needed the Christopher Steele dossier to take the place of a valid ‘woods file’ in the application.

Carter Page was selected because he was a known commodity to both the CIA and the FBI going back to his collaborative work in the Evgeny Buryakov case, and Carter Page was close enough tangentially to the Trump campaign to be valuable.

The ‘Trump is a Russian asset‘ narrative was already in place. Team Clinton had been grooming this false narrative for several months.  Carter Page was a part of that narrative, and the DOJ/FBI using Page to get a Title-1 surveillance warrant eliminated the legal issues Team Obama was warning about.

The rest, as they say, is history.

The totality of all of that unethical and illegal activity is why defenses had to be activated in the aftermath of the 2016 election.  Getting Robert Mueller and Andrew Weissmann into place was part of that urgently needed coverup and defense strategy.   Andrew Weissmann and crew took control of the DOJ and targeted the White House to stop Donald Trump from exposing all the 2016 corrupt activity.

♦ How does this play out with John Durham?   The answer to that question is found by going back into the original camp positions and then reminding yourself all the current Biden administration officials are also Obama loyalists.

No one from within the Obama loyalist camp will be touched by Durham.  However, those who were in the Clinton camp can be targets of Durham depending on how close they are to the proximity of the dividing line between Clinton and Obama.   Those who are close to the Obama line are more safe than those who are distant from it.  That’s what we are seeing with John Durham.

Durham cannot cross the line that protects Team Obama, because he knows the barbed wire Bill Barr put down.  Former AG Bill Barr gave Team Obama (which includes Democrat politicians in positions of power) a defensive weapon that sits in a drawer in case Durham exceeds his politically permitted mandate.

Under DOJ regulations [28 cfr 600],  a special counsel must come from “outside government“; John Durham was not outside government and did not resign his position prior to the appointment.  Bill Barr gave the appearance of a special counsel appointment while knowing the legal validity could easily collapse upon challenge (if the Biden administration choose):

§ 600.3 Qualifications of the Special Counsel.

“(a) An individual named as Special Counsel shall be a lawyer with a reputation for integrity and impartial decisionmaking, and with appropriate experience to ensure both that the investigation will be conducted ably, expeditiously and thoroughly, and that investigative and prosecutorial decisions will be supported by an informed understanding of the criminal law and Department of Justice policies. The Special Counsel shall be selected from outside the United States Government. Special Counsels shall agree that their responsibilities as Special Counsel shall take first precedence in their professional lives, and that it may be necessary to devote their full time to the investigation, depending on its complexity and the stage of the investigation.” (link)

Obviously Bill Barr is a smart man. He would know the regulations he cited would require the special counsel to come from “outside the U.S. government,” thus such a simple flaw cannot be looked upon as anything except purposeful.  Should John Durham get too close to the Obama line of protection, the political system will defend itself by highlighting that John Durham has no legal authority.  That’s how DC protects itself.

Bill Barr was the Bondo application, John Durham is the spray paint.

The final accountability you are being provided by the Durham probe is your ability to snark and yell “I toldyaso” at the leftists and political media.  That is why John Durham is providing “speaking indictments“.

Durham is purposefully giving all of the right-wing media, and the deep-weed followers of Spygate, fuel for their righteous indignation -an opportunity to yell ‘TOLDYASO‘- in the indictments of those who are a long way from the Obama dividing line. That’s where it stops.

The “Durham Report” (everyone was talking about) will likely be a final assembly of Durham indictments put together in a book format.

The allowable targets for Durham can be defined as those Clinton team members who were furthest away from Team Obama.
