For all those reading the report and actually think "This is nothing new. Nothing will happen." - take a deep breath. Understand there is a reason this is coming out now, right when all the other chess pieces are being set in motion.
And remember, we were told what battles we face and what to expect.

It's confirming so much of what I speculated on before. A lot of the connections are now confirmed by this report.

Conclusion
Based on the review of Crossfire Hurricane and related intelligence activities, we conclude that the Department and the FBI failed to uphold their important mission of strict fidelity to the law in connection with certain events and activities described in this report. As noted, former FBI attorney Kevin Clinesmith committed a criminal offense by fabricating language in an email that was material to the FBI obtaining a FISA surveillance order. In other instances, FBI personnel working on that same FISA application displayed, at best, a cavalier attitude towards accuracy and completeness. FBI personnel also repeatedly disregarded important requirements when they continued to seek renewals of that FISA surveillance while acknowledging - both then and in hindsight - that they did not genuinely believe there was probable cause to believe that the target was knowingly engaged in clandestine intelligence activities on behalf of a foreign power, or knowingly helping another person in such activities. And certain personnel disregarded significant exculpatory information that should have prompted investigative restraint and re-examination.
Our investigation also revealed that senior FBI personnel displayed a serious lack of analytical rigor towards the information that they received, especially information received from politically affiliated persons and entities. This information in part triggered and sustained Crossfire Hurricane and contributed to the subsequent need for Special Counsel Mueller's investigation. In particular, there was significant reliance on investigative leads provided or funded (directly or indirectly) by Trump's political opponents. The Department did not adequately examine or question these materials and the motivations of those providing them, even when at about the same time the Director ofthe FBI and others learned of significant and potentially contrary intelligence.
In light of the foregoing, there is a continuing need for the FBI and the Department to recognize that lack of analytical rigor, apparent confirmation bias, and an over-willingness to rely on information from individuals connected to political opponents caused investigators to fail to adequately consider alternative hypotheses and to act without appropriate objectivity or restraint in pursuing allegations of collusion or conspiracy between a U.S. political campaign and a foreign power. Although recognizing that in hindsight much is clearer, much of this also seems to have been clear at the time. We therefore believe it is important to examine past conduct to identify shortcomings and improve how the government carries out its most sensitive functions. Section V discusses some ofthese issues more fully.
This report does not recommend any wholesale changes in the guidelines and policies that the Department and the FBI now have in place to ensure proper conduct and accountability in how counterintelligence activities are carried out. Rather, it is intended to accurately describe the matters that fell under our review and to assist the Attorney General in determining how the Department and the FBI can do a better, more credible job in fulfilling its responsibilities, and in analyzing and responding to politically charged allegations in the future. Ultimately, of course, meeting those responsibilities comes down to the integrity of the people who take an oath to follow the guidelines and policies currently in place, guidelines that date from the time of Attorney General Levi and that are designed to ensure the rule of law is upheld. As such, the answer is not the creation of new rules but a renewed fidelity to the old. The promulgation of additional rules and regulations to be learned in yet more training sessions would likely prove to be a fruitless exercise if the FBI's guiding principles of "Fidelity, Bravery and Integrity" are not engrained in the hearts and minds ofthose sworn to meet the FBI's mission of"Protect[ing] the American People and Uphold[ing] the Constitution ofthe United States."
We knew about Clinesmith in August 2020. I think I could have written these conclusions then. Imagine the cost savings!
Then you are missing the point.
Please enlighten me ...
The point is not that the truth is out there. The point is that the truth needs to comes out in the right shape and form at the right time just as the stage is being set for a massive collapse of confidence in the system by all the people, not just the Maga or the right.
So, a million of us writing those conclusions in the most understandable way in 202 would have done nothing. But there is reason why Durham is releasing this report now.
After Brexit in the UK we had accusations of Russian Collusion as well.
Nigel Farage has just posted a video connecting the anti-Brexit "Russia Collusion" accusations with the Donald Trump ones. He says the Durham Report means the collusion story is now, officially over.
Arron Banks should receive libel damages from freelance journalist Carole Cadwalladr over claims made in a Ted Talk that he had a “covert relationship with Russia”, the Court of Appeal has ruled. Banks was a prominent donor for the Leave.EU campaign.
True, even if some refuse to think the report is strong enough, once a fact has been established, its officially over. Just like Jan 6 narrative was buried after the videos were released (even if the ordeal is not over), its done. It still takes time to dismantle everything connected to the narrative.
I do hope so.
Its not just a hope, fren. We wouldn't be standing in this point in history with all these happening in synchrony of NCSWIC was just a tagline. The game is already over, but we are watching the optics play itself out correctly.
God's time not yours... we knew but millions had no idea... this is for the masses not us
Point blank accurate statement. Also this is what makes it frustrating some days, we know and they "refuse" to listen. Mockingbird WAS a pretty successful op.
This is possibly the most damning sentence. Of course we all knew all along what the FIB and DOJ were doing. Nice to actually see this acknowledged.
In other words, the FBI has been weaponized and it's leadership is corrupt. Absolute corruption corrupts absolutely. I agree with Senator Josh Hawley that the FBI should be disbanded entirely. There is no fixing it. The cancer of corruption therein has infected the entire body. There is no strategic reason to have an FBI. Already there are too many redundant agencies having similar powers. One could say there's way too much weaponization of federal agencies already.
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever shall believeth in him shall not perish, but have everlasting life. Amen.
Amen!
I don't think t's a coincidence Mary. You have eyes to see...
Yes I do and that's the first thing I noticed. 316 pages.
The Spirit is strong within you fren! 🙌
Amen. We all need the Spirit to help guide us through this mess that is about to happen.
That's for sure! 🙏
TIME to reread Tolstoy,s "War and Peace". Certainly more enlightening and by the time I have finished.....
Its been a long long time since I read War and Peace, but I am willing to bet that it's goal was to create a narrative for the War. Off the top of my head, I would say - romanticising wars (setting sage for the coming Great War), while also rewriting some details of the Napolean's invasion. Purely uneducated guess, I would add.
He was definately not establishment despite his birth and education.His bio is just as interesting as his books.
People dont grasp how the narrative works. People who have no inkling what they are part of, end up becoming part of the narratives. All they need is little nudges, and half the time they think they are being honest. The establishment picks and chooses amongst random people creating random works, that which helps them sell their narrative.
That said, in this case, its probably lot more than just random.
People get emotionally attached to works of art / literature etc and make excuses. I have been guilty of it myself. Unless we detach outselves from the emotional aspects of the works, we can never truly observe them for what they are.
Me too... So long has it been I read this that I jokingly was thinking the Title of Leo Tolstoy's classic changed to - 'War is Peace' and 'Peace is War'.
No reasonable prosecutor all over again
So under what circumstances WOULD a reasonable prosecutor act?
Under the current circumstances, as they progress, when you have multiple prongs of attack. You have whistleblowers in Congress, you have the Congressional committees exposing the Intel officers who committed election interference, and you have Durham outlning all the indictments that can be filed against FBI.
All we need next is a financial collapse, an escalation to WW3, complete shortage of food and essentials, and we have a population - not just the right wing, but a whole population who would highly motivate any prosecutor to become reasonable, finally.
Most people are missing the bigger picture as they keep complaining about "but nothing will happen".
That’s all? :-)
I'm working on it.
Finance and WW3 are easy. Complete shortage of food and essentials is the hard one. People like to eat and real women need feminine hygiene products. You can't just shut down the supply chain, you'd need... like... a natural disaster or a worldwide pandemic or something.
I hope thats all * fingers crossed *

Looking forward to seeing Mr Durham's testimony! 👀🍿
I need you all to read between these last lines. Read between them. What is being said clearly here?
“Ultimately, of course, meeting those responsibilities comes down to the integrity of the people who take an oath to follow the guidelines and policies currently in place, guidelines that date from the time of Attorney General Levi and that are designed to ensure the rule of law is upheld. As such, the answer is not the creation of new rules but a renewed fidelity to the old.

I’ll answer this for you. All whom are there since Attorney General Levi, cannot be untrained to what they’ve done, and cannot fulfill their sworn oaths. Period! Training sessions would be fruitless! It makes this crystal clear. Durham is making it crystal clear himself thee entire current agency, and staff is beyond repair. And so what does an Executive/President do at this point of response? Trump is very very famous for what he would and WILL Do! “You’re Fired!”
Nothing Can Stop What is Coming. Nothing!
Interesting take!
Again, missing the point.
thx for pdf
If you are so ignorant as to not see the big picture even after we have been given the map, honestly, no one can help you.
