Sen. Ron Johnson says John Durham keeping
senators in dark about probe

Original Article

Sen. Ron Johnson complained Wednesday that special counsel John Durham has kept information from the public and lawmakers during his nearly three-year probe. In a Fox News interview with Sean Hannity, the Wisconsin Republican cited the length and murkiness of the Durham investigation as one of the reasons he’s skeptical of appointing a special counsel to probe the business dealings of President Biden’s son Hunter. Mr. Johnson emphasized that Mr. Durham has “high integrity” but said U.S. senators have been denied access to information about what Mr. Durham is investigating.(Snip)Mr. Johnson said those issues underscore concerns about having a special counsel look into Hunter Biden’s business affairs.

Comments:

When the entire government is corrupt from top to bottom in a depth unimaginable to a Banana Republic nation from the 1970s, any information shared with them will only give them time to hide their crimes. Meanwhile, with Hunter, there's talk of a new special counsel appointed by a crooked and hyperpartisan attorney general who was appointed by the pResident, to investigate the pResident's son.

I have had my doubts about Durham, but he seems to be onto something. There is not a single Senator I would trust with information as potentially explosive as as the apparent conspiracy he's following.

Good, there are very few Senators that can be trusted with the information, anyway there is no reason for the Senators to be informed until the investigation is complete and indictments are served. As for a special prosecutor for the Hunter laptop probe I agree with Sen. Johnson I'd have little faith of anybody appointed by the commie Garland.

Durham should trust no one. By now he should have discovered the heinous levels of corruption in our government. He can be a national hero if he does his job by the letter of the law, indicts the principals, and follows up with a damning report. The corruption is so deep and wide spread and he may be trying to catch big fish by keeping the details away from the press. We know the Congress leaks badly and no one should be trusted.

Even if all the corrupt FBI, CIA and DoJ folks were to get indicted by Durham, I doubt that any of them will serve even one night in jail, let alone the decades in prison that they should. So.....Durham's stuff is likely just a distraction. ZERO real punishment so far, a few minor fines, nobody getting a serious jail term.

Three years and many millions spent, and what are the results so far. One conviction for a law clerk who was caught red handed by people outside the Durham investigation, and who already is back practicing law with a hand slap. And now we have that lying to the FBI charge, a procedure crime. Whew, whew. Excuse the sarcasm, but I expect a little more from 3 years and millions of dollars.

Keep in mind, he was delayed by the lawsuits filed by those he's investigating regarding the information he was requesting. That was only resolved about 1 year ago. Thus, his team has had to pour over that information, and it seems they are finding things, which is likely why those lawsuits were filed. We've seen the likes of the NYT, WaPo and others correct their official records which is likely to avoid lawsuits against them. We've also seen both the DNC and Hillary Clinton campaigns pay fines for peddling the fake Steele Dossier. We also see Sussmann under the gun for what looks like falsifying billing records, and now likely lying to the FBI (which is a felony). How quickly can this elevate up to Marc Elias who was a partner in Perkins Coie, but who was quickly bought out of his partnership (about the same time many of the pieces started to tumble). And, if you simply read Paul Sperry's article from March 22,2019 (Dossier Tied Firm Pitches Reporters Daily on "Collusion") regarding The Democracy Integrity Project (TDIP). You'll see how many people seem to be connected to a potential conspiracy.

Federal prosecutors say they have busted a massive immigrant marriage fraud ring that made more than $8 million over the past five years by arranging bogus unions and filing at least 400 fake applications with Homeland Security. When the sham marriages didn’t work out because the U.S. citizens got cold feet, the fraudsters would fabricate fake domestic violence cases against them and then apply for green cards, signaling permanent legal status, under a law meant to protect battered spouses, according to court documents. Eleven people were indicted in the fraud, which prosecutors said provided full service to “clients” by recruiting “spouses”—often homeless people—and coaching both people

The study included 1.25 million people age 60 and over in Israel who received their fourth dose between January and March. Israel only uses the Pfizer vaccine. People who got the fourth dose were half as likely to test positive for COVID four weeks later when compared to people who only had three doses, according to the study. But by the eighth week, the groups were almost equally likely to catch COVID, researchers found.

Pope Francis, a leading advocate of Doormat Christianity, is at it again, trying to reverse nearly two millennia of Christian doctrine, by preaching total passivity—even against violent aggression. On March 18, 2022, Francis declared before an audience that “A war is always—always!—the defeat of humanity, always. We, the educated, who work in education, are defeated by this war, because on another side we are responsible.” So far, all well and good, if only because such lofty but impotent words are expected. But then Francis went so far as to say, “There is no such thing as a just war: they do not exist!” That is a remarkably dangerous claim, of similar naïve thinkers—
