In a very late-night filing by Special Counsel John Durham {pdf HERE}, in the case against former Clinton lawyer Michael Sussmann, the special counsel gives the most detailed construct of the “joint venture” between the Clinton team and allies to fabricate a Russian Collusion Conspiracy Theory against Donald Trump in 2016.

As we have noted, Durham is focused on the people outside government who fabricated information and triggered years of false accusations against Donald Trump, which ultimately included the creation of a special counsel, Robert Mueller.

John Durham has not touched any of the players inside government within any of his filings, with the exception of former FBI legal counsel James “Jim” Baker, who is a witness and gave testimony for three days to a grand jury. Durham will not touch anyone inside government [fn¹].

Durham is focused on who, how and why they originated the Trump-Russia lies, and whether any laws were broken as they pushed those lies into government institutions which created four years of crisis for the government and former President Trump.  Within this filing, Durham focuses on the “joint venture”, or what can be described as a conspiracy to manufacture and/or defraud the government.

I have tried to put clarity on the filing by outlining who/what the terms are. DETAILS:

As you can see, the filing speaks for itself in outlining the origination of the conspiracy. Durham continues….

{SOURCE DOCUMENTS}

These are essentially the players who fabricated the Trump-Russia narrative.

David Dagon (“Researcher-2”), a researcher tasked by Rodney Joffe to fabricate connections between Alfa Bank and Trump, was given immunity in exchange for his cooperation with the special counsel.  Fusion GPS employee Laura Seago was also granted immunity from prosecution in exchange for her cooperation with the special counsel.

Suffice to say, Durham knows what they did and how they did it.  Now, he needs to prove it by using the evidence the conspirators have among their own documents and discussions.

The current court battle is circling around various lawyers and groups saying they have attorney-client privileges in order to attempt to avoid document production and/or testimony that will put them in legal jeopardy.   The Clinton Campaign is claiming communication with Fusion is privileged. Fusion is claiming communication with Perkins Coie is privileged.  Perkins Coie is claiming they hired Fusion GPS for legal services, etc. etc. etc.

It takes much more time, but John Durham is working through each of the privilege claims in court, and so far, he has been successful in compelling compliance.

♦ A frequent question:  Why didn’t Durham charge Rodney Joffe yet?   It’s a good question, and the answer is likely because he’s building that case around something else.  Here’s my suspicion.

You will remember, back in 2016, 2017 and 2018, when I said the Clinton team seem to have some kind of “direct portal” into government databases.  There was some process clearly evident where the Clinton campaign itself had access to government databases.

We speculated about all kinds of contractors helping her, etc.  This is entirely separate from what Fusion GPS and other participants were doing to data-mine information.  This is not the people inside government connected to spygate (NSA, Fusion, etc), this is a portal specific to the Clinton campaign itself.

I always called this network the “Clinton Portal“, and the fingerprints from it just kept surfacing as the media described Trump-Russia connections, and then campaign officials would amplify.  I’ve said that since mid 2016, and I retained that view throughout.  Clinton’s campaign operation was data mining some government database, somehow.  The question was who and how?

Rodney Joffe is the explanation that answers that question.  Joffe exploiting contractor access to government databases (GA Tech via DARPA), in combination with his access to data from Neustar, gave him a unique position.  Joffe was Clinton’s Portal.

My hunch is that Durham is holding back on Joffe because accessing government databases, via a government contract (DARPA) that was not given for that intent, is a bigger set of charges.

Creating intentional fraud is one aspect…. they are all busted. However, using federally contracted access to government databases to exploit information, then fraudulently manipulating that information for the expressed intent on defrauding the same government, is a much heavier charge.

And that’s exactly what Rodney Joffe did, on behalf of Hillary Clinton.

.

fn¹ – No one in government will be touched. This entire article is talking about the people in/around the Clinton campaign. Only the Clinton campaign. Nothing else except the Clinton campaign.  I rely on readers to be intelligent enough to see the subject and draw a distinction from Govt and Non Govt.

This article, the entirety of it as it is written, is focused on OUTSIDE government.  JOHN DURHAM is only looking OUTSIDE GOVT.

If you want to discuss “INSIDE GOVT”, my position stands. Bill Barr was the Bondo, John Durham is the spray paint.

Fox News host Tucker Carlson opened his broadcast today highlighting the background of the Disney Corporation weaponizing their corporate advocacy to target politicians in Florida.

Disney has said they wanted to advance sexuality lessons in their media empire and support sexualizing children in public schools K-3.  The Disney Corporation has now made it part of their corporate mission to sexualize children; there is quite a backlash taking place,and the value of Disney has dropped dramatically.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has taken a strong position against Disney’s expressed intent and appeared on Tucker Carlson to explain. WATCH:

The full opening monologue by Carlson is below.

The issue would be insanely ridiculous, stupid and generally prone to ridicule if the judicial branch was not willing to engage this nonsense.

The far-left activists are attempting to use Lawfare tactics to block MAGA Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene from reelection using claims of “insurgency” as a justification to disqualify her from the ballot.  As unbelievable as it sounds, Representative Greene was forced to testify today in court as the Lawfare idiots test out the approach they intend to deploy against Donald Trump if they succeed in Georgia.

Andrew Celli, lawyer for the challengers, attempted to frame Greene as a leading insurrectionist in the J6 events in Washington DC.  To grasp how ridiculous this is, the lawyers even tried to use soundbites from a Hollywood movie, Independence Day, to give the impression of Greene trying to overthrow the government by saying, “We will not go quietly into that good night.” {Direct Rumble Link}  WATCH:

Apparently, lawyer Celli, has never read the poem “Do not go gentle into that good night,” as written by Dylan Thomas [1914-1953].  That poem is the original iteration of the phrase that has been used many times by various speakers for emphasizing grit, courage and determination.   Many public speakers have used various iterations of the sentiment in speeches and comments.

The Georgia case revolves around an archaic Civil War-era provision of the Fourteenth Amendment, which says any American official who takes an oath to uphold the Constitution is disqualified from holding any future office if they “engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.”   However, how this would possibly apply today is a silly legal question, which takes the court down the rabbit hole of questioning free speech and political discourse.

…But that’s how desperate the Democrats are.

Of course, all of these silly theatrics ignore the extreme efforts of the leftists in the Democrat Party to overthrow Donald Trump when he was in office.  You might remember the riots Democrats promoted on Inauguration Day 2017, and the tribes of Moonbat leftists who wore genitalia on their heads while threatening to bomb the White House.

The fact that Marjorie Taylor Greene even has to show up in a courtroom to defend herself only highlights the ridiculous efforts the Democrats will attempt in order to control political outcomes.  The courts even hearing these cases, let alone granting them some bizarre legitimacy, is beyond ridiculous.

Unfortunately, that’s where we are in 2022.

What I also find interesting is the silence from Ronna McDaniel and the RNC on these issues.  Where the heck is the Republican Party in ridiculing this stuff and pointing out how crazy the Democrat communists have become in their lust for power.

The silence from the RNC is only exceeded by the silence of the Republican politicians in leadership.

It’s not exactly a confidence builder when the Director of the International Monetary Fund answers the question about forward priorities by saying, “Perhaps we need to pay attention to the law of unintended consequences.”  You had one job Kristalina, one job.

During an International Monetary Fund (IMF) spring debate and discussion segment, IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva, outlined her perspective against the backdrop of massive inflation caused by the global financial institutions telling government to spend money and they will print it, during COVID.  [The video is prompted to 01:04:50] WATCH:

The discussion included EU Central Bank President Lagarde, US Fed Chair Powell, Indonesian Finance Minister Mulvani – when IMF Director Kristalina Georgieva admitted they channeled their COVID fear and emotions by unsustainably printing money without pausing to think through the consequences.

Now, the world is facing massive inflation, economic contraction, looming hunger, widespread famine and a pending global financial collapse.

Their response? “Whoops.”

Not to worry, they’ll have a little wine and chocolate and figure things out.  Swear.

“Whoopsie daisy”…

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signs today: (1) the new FL congressional map that creates four new GOP leaning districts; (2) a bill to remove Disney’s special districting exemption status; and (3) the “Stop Woke Act,” a bill banning discrimination, woke indoctrination and Critical Race Theory in schools, universities, and corporations.

Do not miss the context for these events today, because both the venue and the participants tell a story.   The public event was held in Hialeah Gardens, Florida, a predominantly Latino community.  Standing alongside DeSantis was Lieutenant Governor Jeanette Nuñez and a host of Latino political officials.

All of the sentiment surrounding the Disney gender and sexuality confrontation, in combination with the Woke Act effort, are widely supported by the Hispanic and Latino communities in Florida.  Traditional family values are strong in the Latino community.  This has been an ongoing issue for the Democrat Party overall, and in 2022 the leftists in the party have ostracized the overwhelming majority of the Latino vote.  WATCH:

FLORIDA – “No one should be instructed to feel as if they are not equal or shamed because of their race,” said Governor Ron DeSantis. “In Florida, we will not let the far-left woke agenda take over our schools and workplaces. There is no place for indoctrination or discrimination in Florida.”

“By signing this legislation, which is the first in the nation to end corporate wokeness and Critical Race Theory in our schools, we are prioritizing education not indoctrination,” said Lieutenant Governor Jeanette Nuñez. “We will always fight to protect our children and parents from this Marxist-inspired curriculum.” (Press Release)

Additionally, while confronting the leftist ideology of Disney Corp, the Florida governor said the company was aiming to “inject sexuality” into its content, and he was not “comfortable having that type of agenda getting special treatment in my state.”  “That partnership that developed early on with Walt Disney — I don’t think Walt would appreciate what’s going on with this company right now,” DeSantis said. “I’m sorry.”

The Biden administration is desperate to get to June when they can start to cycle through the anniversary of the 2021 inflation spike beginning and start to see annual inflation comparisons level off.  The rate of inflation will drop once the statistical year-over-year comparisons reach the same moment in the prior year.  The fed will raise interest rates in May and then use the June inflation rate decline as a false talking point to highlight how their policy is working.  They wait for May, because they need to wait for the calendar, nothing else.  Inflation is measured as the percentage of change from the prior year.  By waiting until the inflation is measured against the first wave of rising prices, it will give the illusion of a decline in inflation.

That’s the unspoken background behind Janet Yellen’s statements to CNBC where she says, “We’ll have to put up with inflation a while longer.”  It’s all about kicking-the-can until the statistical comparisons lessen, nothing more.  WATCH:

When we reviewed the last inflation report at 8.5% we noted, “We will need to watch the service side closely now to see if consumers start to lessen travel, entertainment, and other service side expenses.”  We are starting to get the first signals of serious trouble on the service side now.

(USNews) – […] S&P Global said its flash U.S. Composite PMI Output Index, which tracks the manufacturing and services sectors, fell to a reading of 55.1 this month from 57.7 in March. That reflected a moderation in activity in the vast services sector.

[…] With price pressures mounting, business sentiment slipped to a six-month low in April. The ebb in sentiment was across the manufacturing and services industries.

The survey’s flash services sector PMI fell to a reading of 54.7 from 58.0 in March. Economists had forecast an unchanged reading this month for the services sector, which makes up more than two-thirds of U.S. economic activity. (read more)

It was obvious when the J6 Committee began using their unilateral subpoena authority to demand phone records, text messages, documents and emails, that part of their plan was to leak/release internal GOP discussions amid politicians that would anger the MAGA voters ahead of the 2022 midterm elections.

Part of the J6 goal is to create division and sow animosity amid the Republican Party.  DUH.

However, what the J6 Committee doesn’t seem to realize is that MAGA voters already know the scheming, conniving, duplicitous rats within the Republican political ranks.  Heck, we already hate most of them, so outing Kevin McCarthy as a slimeball is about as surprising as sunrise.  DUH²

The MAGA and D-MAGA base have so much experience hating the professionally Republican RATS, there just isn’t a lot that’s going to surprise us.

Factually, the Republican Party is a structural institution, and as a consequence, all the professional people within it are vessels to accomplish a goal – nothing more.

Donald Trump was/is not just our candidate, he’s our murder weapon; the GOPe is our victim. DUH³

Not surprisingly, the New York Times runs a column intended to show Republican voters how much the Republican political leadership hate us.  Are we supposed to put on our shocked face now?

The overwhelming majority of Republican voters are ‘strategic Republican voters.’  We cannot destroy the DC apparatus without a vessel to enter the swamp, so We The People chose the GOP club as the vessel to do it.

You can read the New York Times article HERE.  Essentially, the gist of it is that Republican House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy and Republican Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell hate the base of the Republican electorate, and both are lying and conniving political creatures who love the indulgences of DC.

The J6 angle looks like this, and apparently there’s a J6 book coming out which benefits from the effort:

…”In the days after the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol building, the two top Republicans in Congress, Representative Kevin McCarthy and Senator Mitch McConnell, told associates they believed President Trump was responsible for inciting the deadly riot and vowed to drive him from politics.” (more)

According to the book/article, “The Democrats are going to take care of the son of a bitch for us,” Mr. McConnell said, referring to the imminent impeachment vote in the House.” Meanwhile, Kevin McCarthy worked to undermine Trump from the House, “Mr. McCarthy said he would tell Mr. Trump of the impeachment resolution: “I think this will pass, and it would be my recommendation you should resign,” he said, according to the recording of the call, which runs just over an hour.”

After the New York Times article ran yesterday, slimeball Kevin McCarthy denied the statements attributed to him.  However, Liz Cheney – just like her father – being a creature of the swamp’s deepest, most vile and Machiavellian tribe, was recording the call for later use.

In R.A.T world, it’s what the rats do.  Here’s the recording:

.

Apparently, this is supposed to make us hate Liz Cheney and Kevin McCarthy – as if, we didn’t already.

The Democrats are putting a lot of effort into exposing the RATS on the right wing of the UniParty.   I don’t know how the rest of the MAGA base looks at this, but it just seems silly.  We already hate the GOP leadership, so this is kind of like a big ‘meh’, whatevs.

Is there really a large group of commonsense middle class MAGA voters who would be surprised to hear/see/read about the duplicity of Mitch McConnell and Kevin McCarthy?  If so, they certainly don’t hang around this website.  We’ve been outlining these creeps for years; and, generally speaking, while we don’t put any energy into hating them, the professional republican leadership are irrelevant to the tasks at hand.

Republican leadership sucks, and tomorrow is Saturday.

Colonel Douglas Macgregor appeared on Tucker Carlson to give a brutally honest assessment of the conflict in Ukraine. Regarding the transfer of heavy weapons and artillery, Macgregor notes something many have discussed.

The logistics of sending in those weapons from western Ukraine (Poland border) to the eastern Ukraine battle encompasses a thousand-mile trek. Russia can easily hit those convoys en route, negating the supply line. Additionally, the U.S. has sent $4.7 billion in military equipment and financial aid so far (see graphic below), and we have no idea who is in control of those weapons.  WATCH:
