From Robinson’s Substack. She says not to expect anything meaningful to happen, it’s all theater to protect Barry.

What do we think guys? She’s normally spot on and pretty darn honest.

Maybe it is all theater, but, if the goal is to keep HRC out of the White House, that’s not all bad.

Not surprising if true.

Sacrifice one to save the other? I'm good with it because otherwise we would get neither.

Also, it doesn't stop someone else from digging into Barry.

If you take out Biden and Hillary you clear the path for MooShell to run and be the savior of the democrats in 2024.

I think she’s probably right. Expecting actual justice or consequences for someone like Clinton seems like fantasy at this point.

She would be as popular as Kamala is now, or less.
And it would piss off the Bernie Bros.

The Dems are screwed with no bench.

The take from the article is the easy, "it is what it has been" take. I'm still going to be hopeful.
I'd rather some kind of redemption movement of the Fed Gov't beginning, rather than bloodshed. Durham doing an honest, no politics investigation would be a good place to start, and there were plenty of rats involved.
And the rats know that the public knows where they are.

I'm counting on y'all to wake me up if something awesome comes out of the Durham investigation.

I think Durham will throw Hillary’s campaign ppl under the bus and paint the FBI as the victim of their scheme.

I’d enjoy it if Elias fried, but nobody nor on PB even knows who the hell he is.

Thus - political outsiders will continue to face the same fate as Trump and swampers remain above the law. The real problem is the bureaucratic state (that really run the gvt) and nothing will come from this investigation that dismantles it.

It's not happening. She's not interested in running any more than Laura Bush is. While she has the name recognition, she doesn't have the charisma to pull off a win even if she wanted to run.

Washington DC is a machine with a big, thick wall around it that's taken generations to build. You don't bring it down with a few blows, but if you can keep banging away, you might get somewhere.

Every scumbag taken out, every bit of doubt and mistrust put into the minds of voters over their elected officials, intelligence agencies, corporate lobbies...all of it is a small win. Remember back when we thought George W. was a patriotic conservative?

So do I.

Don't settle for no justice but what can anyone do about it?

In the Fox News "bombshels" (this alone sent my red flag up) Gowdy clearly says his sources say: that no big fish will be held accountable nor charged and mentions Comey.

Why is Kash (who is Nunes right hand man) acting like booms could come kinda? Because he knows his intel stuff-but he didn't even know there was concrete evidence that the spying was happening in the CIA fashion in the WH VP office & Oval.

I think it is to keep hope alive so no one sits out the midterms. It is sad. That there is not one actionable arrest is telling. To think otherwise is delusional.

The language from Sussmen's lawyers is cocky and arrogant in the back and forth with court filings.

It appears as if Ratcliffe & Kash Patel are going so public because they are sending a message that there is evidence; and Barr and Durham were in a meeting with Kash early on & they agreed.

I do not know if she is correct or not, but we all know when feds indict, their cases are usually ironclad. That's why SDNY has not indicted Trump. They just keep dragging him thru the mud for political reasons, because they know they do not have a solid case.

We don’t just have fraudulent elections due to electronic voting machines — we have fraudulent elections because the entire system is rotten. The system understands that it has to pretend to clean itself up too — because the illusion of “the consent of the governed” is still required. That’s why Durham is pretending that he will clean up the Russia Hoax mess — but are you dumb enough to believe it?
Nunes is on team Trump now, so he may be pushing for this to get in daily headlines & telling Trump there is evidence. Putting pressure on Durham to do his job and not placate and cover-up. No one tells the swamp to police itself. It appears so far, as if Durham is saying the poor FBI were duped by underling lawyers.

If Hillary escaped what she did as Sec of State, she won't be going down for this. Even if they caught her directly communicating this plan.

This from Trump's inauguration speech.
quote:

The establishment protected itself but not the citizens of our country,” he said


quote:

“What truly matters is not which party controls our government, but whether our government is controlled by the people. January 20, 2017, will be remembered as the day the people became the rulers of this nation again.


I believe he has been proven right on damn near everything.

He said, "The best is yet to come".

I damn sure hope he is proven right about the above.

Promises made. Promises kept.
