Besides the Trump Russia Collusion story being fake and created by Hillary Clinton, the biggest story of the politically earth shaking 4-year Durham investigative report was that, “The Department of Justice under the Obama administration launched a spying operation on its top political opponent, [Donald Trump], at the height of a presidential campaign. This evil operation was directed from the highest levels of the administration, including at least one meeting in the Oval Office presided over by then—President Barack Obama and then—Vice President Joe Biden.” The three biggest names in the Democrat Party, the existing President, and Vice President, and intended next president of the United States, Hillary Clinton, all colluded to deceive Americans to stay in power—a deception many times worse than Watergate.
Charley Hurt of the Washington Times in his article “Retribution for Crossfire Hurricane is in Order,” May 18, 2023, sums it best. Initially “it was a political hit job orchestrated by the Obama administration, conducted by the powerful administrative state of the federal government and paid for, in part, by the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee. Later, American taxpayers would pick up the tab for the sleazy operation. Never in American history has our political process been so thoroughly obliterated in a craven snatch at power.” This was “plotted at the highest levels of our government” and “corrupted our most cherished institution of Justice.”
But the Deep State press (most of the news), and social media, played accomplices to the scandal. The “political press went along with it every step of the way… and was aided and celebrated by the press. When members of the political press now dismiss the findings of Mr. Durham’s report as ‘old news,’ they are really admitting that they were in on it from the beginning.” Especially is this so for those treating this damning evidence as a “nothing burger.”
Hurt continues,”The root of this coup was a document called the Steele dossier, an absurd collection of drunken fantasies cooked up by intelligence hacks and paid for by Mrs. Clinton’s campaign and the DNC. (Through a bagman, of course) It would become the Rosetta Stone of Trump investigations that seized our government for years and would [be] the gateway drug for Trump Derangement Syndrome. It was the original playbook the FBI used to wiretap political associates in the Trump campaign… It was the ‘insurance policy’ that FBI agents insisted would prevent Mr. Trump from ever getting elected president.” With confidence they had rigged the 2016 Presidential Election.
He adds, “Think about that for a minute. Corrupt midlevel FBI agents were the foot soldiers in a conspiracy to thwart an election at the direction of the Department of Justice and even the White House. They even came up with a name for their conspiracy: Crossfire Hurricane.”
When Trump won and they did not cease and desist what was the worst political scandal in American history all three—Obama, Biden and Clinton—colluded to wreck Trump’s presidency and undo the 2016 election—AT THAT MOMENT SERIOUS SCANDAL BECAME TREASON. Therefore the first coup to overthrow an elected president was 2016—NOT—2020. The rigged 2020 election which followed by the same participants, when the first did not work, was yet another. And the pre-planned, constant stream of frivolous indictments by Democrat prosecuting attorney generals on Trump, the 18 months prior to the 2024 presidential election, likely are/will be, not just election interference, but a third coup attempt, and treasonable as well.
But these three, Obama, Biden and Clinton, helped corrupt and weaponize our most cherished institution of justice as well—the FBI and Department of Justice. Each played critical roles in the 2016 rigging and thereafter. Either could have stopped the coup. Durham confirms these organizations as having been hijacked for treason related activities.
Yet another Durham finding is especially concerning for an organization that has every appearance of having become the police arm of the Democrat Party. “The FBI misused intelligence database in 278,000 searches, court says.” These occurred between 2016 and 2020. “The court ruling found the FBI violated rules around the use of the database, created under Section 702 of the FISA Act with its searches. Specifically, the court found that searches as part of probes into crimes between 2016 and 2020 violated the rules because there was ‘no reasonable basis to expect they would return foreign intelligence or evidence of crime’, the decision said” (by Zebra Siddiqui, May 19, 2023, Reuters). Americans were being searched without a warrant.
Today new findings, show “the FBI is unable to turn over ANY evidence related to its investigation into Hillary Clinton and the Clinton Foundation as it admits it destroyed ALL the evidence after Biden took Office” (X22 Reports, Ep. 3075b, May 23, 2023, 22:48). It also is refusing to comply with the May 3, congressional subpoena requesting a document alleging the details of a $5 million pay to play scheme involving Biden when he served as vice president. Form FD 1023 allegedly details the bribery scheme (Ibid., 23:40).
There is also concern about “How Biden’s [Department of Home Land Security] DHS is weaponizing an Anti-Terror Program against Conservatives, Christians and the GOP,” treating all as Nazis, lumping everyone together as domestic terrorists (Ibid. Ep. 3077b, May 25, 2023, 37:52). None of these recent concerns leave most Americans feeling that the FBI, DOJ, and now the DHS, are neutral organizations in rendering justice. America’s justice is now two-tiered.
