Sundance is raising the alarm that John Durham is not going to prosecute FBI and DOJ officials for their role in perpetrating the Russia Hoax. Opening arguments were presented Tueaday in the trial of Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussman for lying to then-FBI general counsel James Baker, claiming that he wasn’t working for the campaign when he brought charges of ties between Donald Trump and Russia to the FBI.

If they aren't punished for their actions, the only step left is a revolution.

Not sure. Will wait and see if he uses the trial testimony to lay some groundwork, and perhaps set a few baited traps.

They have their fall guy in Sussman, that's as far as this will go. We will see the obvious guilt of Hillary, Obama, Biden the FBI, and the left will claim vindication since it ends with Sussman.
No harm no foul on with the overthrow of the republic, its almost done.

The only reason for not prosecuting FBI and DOJ officials is the "village idiot" defense. That is, their people were too incompetent to recognize obvious lies. This should trigger a number of justifiable demotions and dismissals. But, I'm not holding my breath until it happens.

I would have thought a process crime such as this would have been prosecuted 2 years ago. I don't think I want Durham. His work production is very low, and his fees very high.

Checks and balances? Do you really expect a Federal Employee of a Federal Agency to prosecute Federal Agencies? They have different rolls but they are all foxes in our hen house. Constitution Article V, Convention of States. The balance of power will shift the minute a convention is successfully called. It's way past time.

Uh, that horse left the barn a few years ago and is grazing in a nice green pasture awaiting retirement. Just like the Hillary cow did.

How is he going to bring them to book? He essentially works for the DOJ. The FBI is the DOJ's armed forces. The only way you can change or punish them is after the fact IF you win an election by a big enough margin, across the board... or cheat hugely like the Democrats did.
No. 1... If everyone walked that would be a sort-of justice. But that doesn't happen. The powers that be pick and choose who walks, who is punished, and who is framed.
That is not justice. That's an excuse for a French style revolution where you kill everyone associated with the 'Elites'.

It was always rigged this way. I've seen this coming for years. If there is any "reckoning" at all, a few individuals will be punished just a tiny bit, and the three dozen or more of top FBI, CIA and DoJ treasonous, criminal political hacks will walk free.
This was baked into the cake before this started. Prove me wrong. This is a whitewash masquerading as an investigation. And Barr set this in motion to shut us up years ago.

If the conduct of the FBI is not questioned or never justice questioned, then it's time to dismantle the FBI on the grounds it's a political arm of the democrats. Dissolve the FBI and start over.

BOOM! GOT THEM!
Just like all the other times, nothing will come of Durham. It is now and was always a bunch of garbage intended from the start to distract and get the big names free of any legal risk. As usual. I've said this all along.
When a big name wears an orange suit big a lengthy prison sentence lemme know.

If Sussman is convicted, it lays the basis for claiming the FBI was acting after being duped. The problem is that FBI testimony indicates the Bureau knew within hours that this was fraud. Someone will be left holding the bag for the Bureau. There are several nominees...pick one.

You are close, #18, yes on "dissolve the FBI", but No on "start over".
Any new federal law enforcement agency will rapidly wind up in the same position, politicized and doing the dirty deeds of the Deep State.
END federal law enforcement entirely. Perhaps have some special, narrow unit for spy catching. Different name, located OUT OF DC. Push all the other FBI tasks back to the states.
I have LE friends who have worked on months long "interagency task forces" which span state lines here in Kansas and Missouri to work on crimes that span state lines. I think that is a good model for what replaces the corrupted, worthless FBI. Inter-state law enforcement cooperation can work, and yet be controlled at a the state level, farther from the corrupting influence of DC.

The entire system is rigged so all branches have built-in protections that give all of them a get out of jail card free anytime something serious pops up. Hillary is living proof. Comey was her homey and the fix was in and she is still untouched by law enforcement and criminal prosecution. But let's go after Trump. Orangeman bad.
Sorry, no fixes for you.

It's a two-tier justice system. Nothing of consequence will happen. The Elites protect each other.

Remember what I've been saying about Sussman being a little fish while big fish swim happily away unhooked? Hillary, high ranking Democrats and FBI officials are immune to laws that govern the rest of us. This is the criminal justice system in our country at the moment. Do not look for any changes.
