Abraxas – Mark Wauk, retired FBI, point is after 9-11 under Mueller the fbi changed focus to counter intelligence and centralized. And if you wanted promotion, you had to go to dc. The regional offices list power. So only those willing to move to dc, got promoted to higher management.

Adam Schiff’s rendition of Russiagate in a nutshell:
“You may CLAIM that there is no clear evidence that you’re a wife-beater; but why would you have been investigated for beating your wife in the first place if you weren’t?
“And why would you have been investigated for years and years and years, at that?
“But you WERE, in fact, investigated for years and years and years—an INTERNATIONAL investigation, no less—at a cost of millions and millions of dollars, which investigation was dutifully reported by all responsible media organs, world-wide.
“Which proves beyond the shadow of a doubt that you ARE a wife-beater.
“AND It DOES NOT MATTER what evidence they found or didn’t find…. You CANNOT ESCAPE THE FACT that you are what you are.
That you did what you did.
Remember: Where there’s smoke there’s fire. QED.”

It sounds like Strzok, McCabe, and the rest of the conspirators aren’t grateful that they weren’t indicted.

What I am hearing is that the agents at the main office in Washington are careerists and yes men who follow the lead of the higher-ups, and the investigation (if there was any) was turned over to newer and younger agents who weren’t experienced or properly sceptical, but who were thoroughly indoctrinated.

I’m not sure about letting the rank and file agents McCarthy counted on to be straight shooters off the hook, though. The indoctrination has been going on for a very long time. It may not be that hard for agents to pivot to investigating the latest supposed threat the higher-ups point to. In any case, there have been other cases of corruption in the field offices. That’s a different kind of rottenness, but still rottenness.

As a result of the release of Durhan’s report we can expect the following:

1. Nobody will be indicted or stand trial or even be punished. Maybe one or two guys (e.g. , Wray ) may quit, but they will move into far higher paying jobs in the private sector. Yep, that’s the “punishment” any of the culprits can expect.
Quel dommage.

2. Republicans in Congress will hold hearings which may (but highly unlikely) embarrass some of the scam ring leaders. They will lie, obfuscate and not recall anything of note and, as per the norm, nothing will happen to them.
It will all be a big joke.

3. Perhaps some brought before congressional committees will be “held in contempt.” This means that the committee members did not appreciate being lied to. Those held in contempt will not give a flying f**k because nothing will happen to them.
And that about wraps it up folks

Time to move on – yet again.

Yes, we were pretty sure all that was true all along; yes, the report doesn’t go far enough; yes, the MSM is playing crickets and the Schiff-head stands by his hoax.

Still, there’s a ray of hope in the fact that the report was actually issued. Some people will shift toward reality. The fix is not 100% in.

Ben @7:29 am: I’m wholeheartedly with you. McCarthy is among the worst of the never-Trumpers. He suffers from severe TDS and long ago squandered whatever little credibility he may have once had. Turley is barely better.

Matt Taibbi on the nightmare of the massive “Get Trump” cult during the Mueller witch hunt, the absolute hysteria that basically saw otherwise sane people transformed…and how intensely difficult it was to maintain one’s equilibrium while trying to navigate one’s way through the “Night of the Living Dead” reality that was conjured up and disseminated ubiquitously by the Clinton-Obama-Media-Infotech nexus.

I don’t have much to add other than a general commiseration on the death of justice in America. The Durham report didn’t really reveal anything I and many others didn’t already know or strongly suspect. It only added further confirmations. And the reactions to it only served to fully illustrate the how profoundly deep the corruption and systemic derangement currently runs in this country.

If only we had a legitimate Fourth Estate that wasn’t partially corrupted by biases, self delusion, and desperation caused by their gradually decaying cultural relevance.

If we had a tech industry that wasn’t almost entirely run by a pack of vicious plutocrats who hold normal citizens in contempt, and largely employed by deeply ignorant and indolant youth who act as useful idealogical idiots.

If only we had a federal justice apparatus (FBI, CIA, DOJ ect.) that wasn’t peopled with arrogant, amoral, careerist SOBs who also hold normal citizens in contempt.

And if only we didn’t have a distressingly large chunk of the populace who are evidently very easily bamboozled by the above corrupt powers, or at least are distracted by unimportant minutiae.

If only…
