The FBI knew the Trump-Russia collusion narrative was utter bunk even as it suggested otherwise to Congress, the courts and the public early in 2017. Evidence revealed by special counsel John Durham proves it beyond dispute. At RealClearInvestigations, Paul Sperry lays out the case.Declassified for Durham’s probe, a March 2017 memo prepared by Lisa Page for FBI head James Comey’s meeting with Congress’ “Gang of Eight” — the bipartisan House and Senate leaders who oversee the most classified stuff — was a total cook-up job. It advised Comey to present accusations that Trump’s campaign chair Paul Manafort and foreign policy adviser Carter Page were working with the Russian government

Most of us knew Russiagate was a lie. All you had to do was read what was going on at the time. I read there was proof Hillary paid $10 million for the dossier. What more proof did they heed it was a lie!

The FBI was criminal but not stupid. No one could actually have believed what was said - but many pretended to.

They went rogue a long time ago. Who will hold them accountable in DC? I am guessing No one.

The Deep State Deep Swamp has many creatures that surface and then quickly dive into darker waters. That area is most comforting for them. Being undetected is what they strive for yet exposed many deny their treasonous slithering. They understand that creatures will come to their rescue and lecture on how to NOT get caught in the nets of truth.

Of course they did. The FBI leadership are traitors. Criminals who tried to create what was essentially a coup to remove a sitting President illegally, and fraudulently. The DoJ assisted, and some of the CIA top leaders also assisted.
We have at least three dozen, probably more like four dozen, men and women who are pure traitors still walking free today.
And no one in DC is willing to do what is necessary, which is to arrest them all and charge them with treason, and convict them and put them in prison for a couple of decades each.

Comey in orange is a great start. Let's put him there quickly then work on the rest. By the time they get to PIAPS she will have taken a wonder drug.

This is an egregious indictment of the worst kind. How could anyone with an ounce of decency be a part of this lie? What is worse is that everything that is being revealed is true and yet, no one is held accountable. What democrats and the bureaucratic deep state have done is treasonous. They concocted a lie they used to undermine a presidential campaign and then doubled down after he was elected President to wreak havoc on his ability to do the job the American people had elected him to do. And yet, it is like nothing ever happened. To add insult to injury, HRC, that old witch, came out recently and actually said PDT should be held responsible for something he did not do and the liars on the J6 Committee cannot prove because it never happened. She accuses him what has been proven she actually did. The country has been turned upside down and inside out by the most corrupt political party to ever hold office. How can those of us out here in flyover country understand what is going on and our elected leaders don’t appear to have a clue. The FBI, Justice Department and many other alphabet agencies with the blessing of the democrat party are guilty of conspiring to destroy a Presidential campaign and then when that did not work, they conspired to unseat a duly elected President of the United States. If this is not a treasonous act, explain what is. President Donald John Trump deserves his day in Court. We the people deserve to know that this cabal will be held accountable. Look around and see exactly what this treasonous scum has done to our beloved country. Republicans, are you even awake?

Equally, we know that Jan 6 is another FBI lie, still being rammed down our throats, people still in prison for close to nothing, Trump allies arrested without due process, etc etc. Yet, the Wall Street Journal, which (or 'who'), has always hated Trump, is, today and yesterday too, running a front page editorial that says: " OPINION REVIEW & OUTLOOK
The Evidence of the Jan. 6 Committee
"It’s a reminder of the violence and how Trump betrayed his supporters." Oh yes, the WSJ, despite ALL actual evidence to the contrary, says Jan 6 is all President Trump's fault. And when this idiot, pretentious paper is proven wrong, AGAIN, they will never acknowledge their mistakes. It will take years to even unravel these lies, as it did with Russiagate, that the WSJ, not so incidentally, parroted for years. A pox on their house.

Durham appears to have worked hard trying to bring the people responsible to some sort of punishment.
But it is all for nothing as when it goes to court in Washington District Court they fill the jury with never-Trumpers and people who donated to the democrat party and it's jury nullification. They will never get a conviction in Washington with Washington Judges. It's a democrat Sodom.
The police cannot even get a drunk driving conviction against a Pelosi , what chance has Durham got.

IF Republicans ever get control of anything they first need to get a backbone then they need to figure a way to clean house, all branches, all depts. from the top down, starting within their own party then the FBI , the dept of Justice, and so on. Anyone with half a brain no longer trusts the parties of either side and certainly not the FBI or the Dept of justice.

What it would take to stop such action-a few trials for treason with prosecution and punishment to the full extent of the law. If that means life in prison, death penalty, and or citizenship to be stripped so be it. A few sacrificial lambs? If this is not enough let their families feel the effects of going bankrupt for having to pay for their lengthy legal defense.

The FBI has been a criminal organization for decades. It is just that now they don't care if we know. After all, as John and Mary Public, what can we do about it? And they know it. They got Nixon, thanks to that petty vindictive FBI assistant director getting his revenge, so Trump was not a moral problem for them.

Questions that require answers:
A. Who recommended that President Trump appoint Wray as FBI Director in 2017?
B. Who recommended Bill Barr to President Trump?
C. Why did Trump select Jeff Sessions as his first AG and then not dismiss Sessions when Jeff recused himself from the clearly fake Russia hoax?
D. Why was Rod Rosenstein, Asst AG, allowed to take charge of the DoJ’s Russian nonsense when “I’ll wear a wire to get Trump” Rosenstein was part of the plot against Trump becoming and remaining president?
As remarkable as President Trump was, he stumbled badly on law enforcement seniors within his administration.

All that anyone needed to do in order to know the truth was to ask themselves why Putin would have preferred Trump in the White House. He would not have. He had nothing on Trump and everything on Hillary.

The concept of the FBI is valid but when the people are that badly biased and favor a dictatorial form of government, the organization can no longer be allowed to exist. Fidelity Bravery and Integrity are no longer the rule and the they are poisoned from the top down. It must be dismantled because that kind of law enforcement belongs to a communist/socialist country. What they did is treason; prison or execution is called for. The next real president has a job to do.

Some great posts!
With all the almost daily "re-directs" of our attention taking our minds off the latest "shiny object" to lead us around without fixing things, we have been manipulated to FORGET the "dog and baloney show" of how Hitlery and The Vegetable have held on without prosecution coming.
Just remember as #20 posted, those federales who should be prosecuted and in orange over all of this subterfuge:
James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Rod Rosenstein, Peter Strzok who changed wording in Comey's speech so that Hitlery could not be prosecuted over her illicit emails (to skirt the system of archiving government emails) even though he didn't have authority to "exonerate" her.
The abolute HORROR in the justice department when Mr. Trumpo revealled HE KNEW they were illicitly WIRETAPPING Trump tower.
This who thing was drummed up to protect HITLERY by instead attemtping to go after Mr. Trump. It still continues to this day, even if Robby Mook confirmed that she was in charge.
And lest we forget, how John McPain circulated the FAKE dossier as a revenge measure against TRUMP who would rat out and not support the GOPe/RINOs who would see their gravy trains of lobbyist money and inside information deals go away if TRUMP got re-elected.

I wonder how anyone can have any faith in "our system" to address this. Will elections matter? We know the answer to that. Will investigations matter? How can anyone trust the organizations that perpetuated the crime to punish the organization that committed the crime when they are one and the same. Who out there trusts any part of "our system" to correct this? No one does. America is dead. We are all slaves to an abusive tyranny. So now what.

Re #20:
1) Chris Christie recommended Wray to Trump.
2) Not sure about Barr nut I bet a GOPe like Mitch McConnell who made it very clear that if Trump fired Sessions - no support from him and the Senate on confirming his next selection.
3) I believe Sessions was first Senator to announce support for Trump during campaign and Sessions was very good on immigration.
4) Rosenstein had Barr's support.
Let's face it - the Dem and GOP power elites were not in favor of Trump and did (still do) everything that they can to ruin the man and his efforts to help this country.

Whoever is behind all of this they are spending a lot of time and effort since 2016 to destroy President Trump, and anyone who might associate with him.
Maybe something happened outside of DC where they can find location, department or division that was involved in this "matter" that enables them to file in a new jurisdiction.
The good news, the media now has official information on the topic, which means they are obligated to use, or they can be sued.
Even celebrities are able to sue if the media KNOW they are telling a lie, which is why so many of them changed references or issued retractions recently.

The odds on convicting a Swamp 'Rat in Dee Cee today seem to be about the same as the odds on convicting a Ku Kluxer in the most crooked area of the Deep South back in the worst of the 'Jim Crow' days.

The FBI needs to be defunded and disbanded.Once you have an agency so corrupt and biased you just have to kill it off.There is no way of weeding out the bad apples.Once you get rid of one,another takes it's place.They hold too much power.I say good riddance.

Next time normal people are in control--2025-these evil bureaucrats at the FBI, IRS and SEC-all agencies that have been politicized and abused their power against the People- should have their agencies weakened and preferably dismantled brick by brick. Take DHS and NSA and flush them down the toilet as well.
