[Shiver Metimbers]

Here’s an important data point and possibly a tell of where this is going. On page 186-187 we learn that in Jan 2017 the FBI interview Chris Steele’s “primary source” for the Steele Dossier and this source stated that “he/she had not seen Steele’s reports until they became public that month and he/she made statements that indicated that Steele misstated or exaggerated the sources statements in multiple sections of his report”

The FBI knew that Steele was a bad witness in January of 2017. Not only did they not disclose this to the FISA court, they also opened a special counsel investigation into the Trump campaign. The goal of the special counsel investigation was to pin obstruction of justice on Trump. Remember that this report does not address all the additional activities of the FBI around this matter, only the opening of the investigation and the FISA court submissions. If this was the case and Durham can prove it, this is effectively trying to overthrow a duly elected president. Just my speculation.

I'm glad you posted about all this, and I'm keeping track of it... well, the lack of track of it. The level of corruption already known in the public sphere is astounding, was already astounding back in 2018 and even 2017, and yet... nothing, zip zero nada.

Barr has intimated that prosecutable crimes were committed, and in many cases the already-public evidence is so overwhelming that one wonders why (cough, NOT) nothing, not even Senatorial hearings, has ever happened. Giuliani came back from fact-finding in Ukraine with more intimations of high-level corruption etc., and... nothing.

A number of Senators, ex-Senators, other high muckity-mucks and their assorted hangers-on are implicated and in some cases rather blatantly indictable. I am sad but unsurprised that nothing has or likely ever will come of it all, except maybe a couple slaps on low-level wrists.

Springer1952 posted on the US Politics thread, putting it here because it is very on-point.

An excellent article summarizing the Obama/Clinton/NSC/CIA/FBI/DOJ coup attempt against Trump.

Hanson is a good writer, and agree 100% on your assessment of that piece as an excellent summary.

Thing is... nothing has come of it, any more than anything came from the OIG report. No indictments much less trials of the many bad actors, the Mueller Witch Hunt and Impeachement Kangaroo Kourt defended / abetted / advanced by even Republicans and so-called conservatives...

I weep for this country.
