Nothing To See Here

Lindsey Graham is up to something.  (Thanks to Skippy, who sent this l;ink below.)

https://dailycaller.com/2020/09/27/lindsey-graham-comey-dossier-steele/

The Daily Caller article is essentially based on this 9/24/20 Fox News article:  https://www.foxnews.com/politics/lindsey-graham-steele-dossier-crossfire-hurricane-durham

I’m including the full text below because there is more at the “Russian Contact” link:

From the Fox article: FBI officials who were involved in the Russia investigation should be “very worried” following the news that a key source for the infamous Steele dossier was under investigation over suspected contact with RussiaSen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., told “Hannity” Thursday.

SOURCE OF STEELE DOSSIER WAS INVESTIGATED BY FBI FOR RUSSIAN CONTACTS, BARR SAYS

Graham added that it was important to note that Connecticut U.S. Attorney John Durham, who is leading the investigation into the origins of the Russia probe, “has already investigated this matter.”

“So there’s some people tonight that have to be very worried, because now we know the FBI — in December 2016 — knew that the dossier was being prepared by a Russian agent. They never told the court.”

Graham described the dossier as “a massive effort by Russia to do a disinformation campaign against the Trump campaign, and it worked. Bottom line, is the FBI used a document prepared by a Russian agent — paid for by the Democratic Party — to get a warrant against the Trump campaign, and the only place you’re going to hear about that is probably on this show.

“I hope this is a game-changer,” he added. “I hope that the traditional media, the mainstream media will look at this abuse of power.” – article

Now, before you all go off half-cocked and start shooting at squirrels, remember that corruption in government, including at the federal level, is nothing new.  If you remember the Watergate hearings and how Nixon knew about the break-in and approved of it, and you dig into the history of government anywhere at the federal level, it is nothing new at all. Historically, it has gone on for as long as humans decided to set up someone to run things so that they could go back to hunting Irish deer dire wolves, and mammoths. The bad leaders frequently outshine the good leaders.

However, in reference to Graham’s wish that this changes things, it probably won’t make a real difference until or unless the more/most corrupt political animals in WDC are sent packing and/or drop dead in their tracks, and the likelihood of the latter is slim. It’s more likely that some of that bunch will be found one morning, sitting at their desks, eyes wide open and staring straight ahead, with a firm and impenetrable grasp on whatever spurs them to keep going, whether it’s a gavel or a name plate or a rostrum.

It seems that additional docs are being declassified every day or two lately. Some are docs Congressional committees have been demanding for years.

This is getting interestinger and interestinger.

Anyone else remember the day that a former FBI director called a presser to detail all the serious security violations committed by a campaign only to conclude by telling us that no criminal charges would be filed? That was a very chilling day.

Looks from here like the truth is about to come out for all to see. At least I am more hopeful than I have been in a couple of years.

Charge with treason or sedition? Decisions, decisions? Either works for me. I swear the more I’ve heard over the last 4 years of the blatant crimes of grubmint officials, the more I think that a pissed off JAL Pilot driving a wide body had the right idea.

Tar and feathers? Pitchforks and torches? How about rope and lampposts?

Are y’all as sick of this crap as I am? Yeah, thought you were.

inbredredneck

Now Ex-PH2, you know that hot tar might burn ’em and generate some sympathy. How instead, we just dip ’em headfirst into a septic tank, then the feathers?

Hondo

If you remember the Watergate hearings and how Nixon knew about the break-in and approved of it, . . .

Misleading, Ex-PH2 – highly misleading.

The actual audio recordings of the “smoking gun” tape make it absolutely clear that Nixon had zero prior knowledge of the Watergate break-in and did NOT approve it in advance. Nixon’s words and tone of voice on finding out that Mitchell likely had prior knowledge of the Watergate break in show surprise if not shock.

Nixon did indeed order the cover up for Watergate, and he rightfully took the fall for that. But as far as I can tell there is not one shred of evidence that’s ever been uncovered to show he knew about and approved of it beforehand. If anything, the evidence available shows he was as shocked as anyone to find out that it had occurred with the apparent approval of his campaign organization.

I agree, as I was a copious watcher of the Watergate hearings and the fallout. There was never any evidence that Nixon ordered the break-in. In any event, it was a Sunday School picnic in comparison to what the DOJ, FBI, CIA and the 0bama admin/Clintonistas have done to Trump and his people. Moreover, the MSM aka Progda has been totally complicit in this massive fraud and attempted bloodless, soft coup d’etat. In most countries 200 years ago, the plotters all would have been executed for treason.

I remember (in my “yute”) the almost daily live hearings on TV. I even vaguely remember Fred Thompson confirming via question existence of the tapes in the first place.

Skippy

This should have all came out long ago
Unfortunately the foot dragging on this is making
Me sick people need to be held accountable so this never happens again
I’m not holding my breath

In fact look at the recent story’s from the DNC
Controlled media
A 1000 former or current Blah Blah Blah
Think Barr should resign or what ever

Big Media doing its Fake News part for the Left:

“Biden Leads by 10 points as Majority of Americans Say Trump Could have Avoided Coronavirus Reuters-Ipsos Poll,” by Chris Kahn, Reteurs via Yahoo!, 4 Oct 2020, https://www.yahoo.com/news/biden-leads-10-points-majority-100633531.html

rgr769

If Yahoo News puts up anything, it is most likely Fake News.

What Trump needs to get Re-Elected
And has needed was for the god damn
truth to come out !!!!
Why is that so damn hard to do
We have a large majority of the voting block
That low info and independent
That needs to be shown the truth about
How dirty it is and the Republicans can’t even
Do this, what a bunch of fucking idiots
Our future sucks if we keep going down this path

DRAIN THE SWAMP ALREADY
it doesn’t take four more years to do this does it

Patience Skippy, and perseverance. It took over two centuries to build the swamp. I am astounded he has been able to do as much as he has in one term. More is coming.

This is a generational war. Dont be the kind of quitter that can’t handle the long haul. Don’t buy the shitbird propaganda that they can’t be beaten.

Trump knows the value of timing, and the value of having four more years. By convincing you to quit, they seek to deny him another round. Don’t quit.

Skippy

I know
I’m just past ready to see some justice
And a few heads flying off

Hmm. Visualizing a Frazetta mask-wearing axe-wielding executioner with unruly hair.

Heh.

NHSparky

Easy. Robespierre was very quick to guillotine his political opponents or those he deemed not “passionate” enough about creating what he considered the ideal state.

And we all remember what happened to him.

Short lesson: Be careful what you wish for, because political power changes hands in this country regularly.

The Other Whitey

There was a story a while back that Steele was shitcanned by MI6 due to credible suspicions that the Russians had flipped him. Whatever came of that?

AZRobert

Check out “The Last Refuge” for details on the swamp, reading the comments are enlightening as all who post there too.

The swamp is very very deep and with dark forces that have been stewing for a long time.

Light against dark is no match but keeping your powder dry is prudent in these times.

Leftists up to no good… Glenn Beck exposes it:

rgr769

Yes, Sundance at ConservativeTreehouse.com has been relentless in unraveling this four year criminal conspiracy to take down Trump. Actually, The ‘Beast’s plan began in April or May of 2016, when she and Podesta came up with the Russia Russia!! Scheme as a way to divert attention from her email crimes as S of S. The complexity of how the “insurance policy” was used is staggering, and it involves many dozens of deep state corruptocrats in the CIA, NSA, FBI, DOJ, 0bama himself and Gropey Joe. Plus, the British intel services are also implicated. If all those complicit were convicted and incarcerated, the gov’t would need to build a new federal pen.

Thunderstixx

I sincerely doubt we will see anything but a bunch of caterwauling and harumph, harumph, harumph by anyone until they start hanging them out front of the capitol….
Until then it’s just paper hanging and has no consequence…..
Libdsey Graham just postponed the vote on ACB until 2 weeks before the election so the d-rats could hgave their screaming match and parade of people accusing her of being a Harvey Weinstein madam because of something, somewhere, sometime…..
So you can’t trust anything coming out of that mess called DC…
It will have to come to a shooting war before it’s fixed, sorry to say that but that is what it will take at this point in time.
I don’t want one, but that’s the view from my world…

KoB

Word ‘Stixx…Keep in mind they have to defend their phony baloney jobs. The Repubs NOT doing anything worthwhile in 2017 when they had a full blown majority means that BOTH PARTIES have been covering the azzes of one another for decades. They make a big thing out of transferring the power from party to party every 8 or so years but the biggest thing is it is all a BIG JOKE!

Odd how many Repubs decided to retire from public office in ’18 that gave the dims control of the house. Other than giving themselves a raise here recently, exactly what legislation of note has the Kongress Klowne Kritters passed in the last few years?

These guys could do a better job!

Republicans talk a good game, but I am not aware of any scalps collected by GrahM or Trey Gowdy,

IS1 (SW)

I hate to say this, but it must be said because it’s true. Republicans like Graham, Gowdy, and nearly all in both houses of Congress in general are nothing more than peacocks playing kabuki theater. Talk a big game, but never sack up and do anything about it. Trump was the first Republican I’ve seen in my lifetime that sacks up and fights, and some have followed his lead. Democrats unite and fight tooth and nail to the end for every little tiny thing. GOP just doesn’t do that, they’re always tucking tail. This has got to stop. If anything comes of this, I’ll drink popov out of my shoe.

Plus, any D-rat pol who deviates from the D-rat party line is savaged and destroyed. The party hierarchy are like the Catholic Church excommunicating heretics. Nancy and Chuck would literally burn their defectors at the stake if they had the power to do so.

Same here rgr769. Was on it like white on rice. (can we still say that?) Nixon woulda been a whole hell of a lot better off if he had of come clean about what he DIDN’T KNOW and WHEN HE DIDN’T KNOW IT. Some of us that remember it all recall that he wasn’t busted for what HE did, he was busted for what he tried to cover up. Smart money woulda been hanging those dumbasses out on the line. And you, Good Sir, are 1000% correct. What the dims have done over the past, I’ll say it, 16 years, should get them drawn and quartered. And those bastards were aided and abetted by the Repubs.

Worse thing to come out of Watergate? Hitlery Rodham got her FIRST taste of National exposure and power. A lot of the shenanigans that we see today can be traced to then.

rgr769

And she was fired from that lawer job by her boss because he decided he couldn’t trust her because he caught her in a lie.

USMC Steve

Except, I clearly remember Trump saying after he got in the white house, Hillary and her crowd were going to jail.

Have you seen ANY single indictment orprosecution regarding to their attempted coup or various crimes? I haven’t. On that score, Trump FAILED.

Skippy

That’s my opinion too
And it’s going to cost trump dearly
Come November. People out here in the sticks are fed up with bullshit

rgr769

Actually, during the first months after he won, Trump was in the “bygones” mode. But then, he realized he was under attack by The Resistance of the Cintonistas and their Fifth Column embedded everywhere, including the White House. Plus, the Never Trump RINO’s also joined the Resistance. The fact he was able to persevere is epic.

Skippy

Can anyone explain why they are withholding
Information from the Durham Report
Until after the elections????
Doesn’t the American voter have the right to see the truth ????
And who does Haspel work for. The American people or the DNC ????
Just wondering

rgr769

She is a lifetime Swamp rat, so she works for the Deep State swamp. She likely believes Trump is just a temporary aberration.

Skippy

Well after signing a executive order to release all Russia probe Doc un-redacted the DOJ released
A bunch of Russia probe documents today redacted
Talk about telling Trump to go fuck himself
his chances of re-election are over with
Thanks to the DOJ and Barr
I never would have believed a turd sitting in his basement all year would win a election by a landslide because the other guy couldn’t get justice
What a shit show. And crazy Nancy is at it again
With her crazy talk and the 25th add crazy talk
