BREAKING: Durham has interviewed several of the FBI investigators who worked on Mueller's team during his 2017-2018 inquiry, further suggesting Durham's probe may be expanding into the activities of the Special Counsel's office.

To which I say: Duh! Could there be any "news" less surprising?
Perhaps not, but without a daily play by play, it’s nice to hear that something is going on. At least for me.
ReplyDeleteOh, it's great to have news. Waiting's no fun.

ReplyDeleteI just spent a few minutes scanning Paul Sperry's tweets over the past few days. Worth looking at. A window into his stream of conscious.
FWIW, I would say he is running out of patience.
Patience, as numerous sensible people here have counseled, is an important virtue. It is undoubtedly really hard work for Barr and Durham to put together iron-clad cases which will win in Court and withstand the fury of the Left.
But the risk is...patience can run out. Human nature.
The temperature is really getting turned up. Just look at the volume of activity here on your blog, Mark.
Yesterday, WaPo floated the presumably absolutely false story that Barr is strongly considering resigning. Barr's office has apparently flatly denied the story. If WaPo's story is another false plant, as I would have to believe, then the conspirators are really getting desperate.
I'm tempted to speculate that something's going to have to break. Pretty soon.
I've tried to expand on this in a new post.
DeleteConsider who is feeding the “impatience” fire. Sundance, for his own reasons. Forum posters, whose identities and agendas are unknown to us.
DeleteI remain patient. Have never been swayed by rabble-rousers.
The patience issue is not that hard for those of us who update the progress through such outlets as Mark's, and then get on with our lives.
DeleteAs for Paul Sperry, Sundance, et al., who spend most of their waking hours reporting, writing, and obsessing over the details as they drip out--well, they need to get a life filled with other distractions. There's only so much that can be said--and often, it's by other people.
I'll admit to occasional impatience--but then there's nothing I can do about it, so it's on me to deal with my personal shortcomings. It's not Bill Barr's fault. Nor John Durham.

Since Mueller (Weismann) extended the FISA warrants on Page and also got millions of pages of other docs from other agencies as part of their investigation, wouldn't it be sweet if Durham found information in all of that which helped his investigation of them?
ReplyDeleteKarma can be a real bitch....
If you're referring, among other things, to the Special Counsel's gross violation of Trump's lawyer client privilege by seizing and using GSA copies of Trump's transition communications, I wouldn't be surprised to see Durham go after that. It would fit very well into a theory of prosecution that included a conspiracy to violate constitutional rights.
DeleteI admit to occasionally getting anxious when the real/alleged Trump/Barr riff news came out.
ReplyDeleteSperry was very critical of Barr in his recent tweets.
Hey, I'm only human. This stuff is important to all of who love America and think that she is worth fighting for.
Sperry regularly goes off on a warpath to nowhere.
DeleteOf course he also does some good reporting.
