>>18025190 - Just cuz you asked. Our side of the media was pushing that the cost was 1/5th of the Mueller probe….naturally Maddow and MSNBC are pushing the whopping cost of $6.5M dollars.

Maddow Blog | John Durham’s failed investigation comes with a hefty price tag

 

Story by Steve Benen • 5h ago Just love how MSN doesn't give an actual date/timestamp

 

Special counsel John Durham’s investigation proved to be a rather embarrassing failure. As The Washington Post reported, it also proved to be quite expensive.

 

In other words, the $6.5 million figure — in taxpayer money — is where things stand now. It’s difficult to say with confidence how much higher the final price tag will eventually end up.

 

For those who might benefit from a refresher — you’d be forgiven for thinking, “John Durham’s name sounds familiar, but I can’t remember why I’m supposed to care about him” — let’s revisit our earlier coverage and explain how we arrived at this point.

 

The original investigation into Donald Trump’s Russia scandal, led by then-Special Counsel Robert Mueller, led to a series of striking findings: The former president’s political operation in 2016 sought, embraced, capitalized on, and lied about Russian assistance — and then took steps to obstruct the investigation into the foreign interference.

 

The Trump White House wasn’t pleased with the conclusions, but the Justice Department’s inspector general conducted a lengthy probe of the Mueller investigation, and not surprisingly, the IG’s office found nothing improper.

 

This, of course, only outraged Trump further, so then-Attorney General Bill Barr tapped a federal prosecutor — U.S. Attorney John Durham — to conduct his own investigation into the investigation. That was more than three years ago.

 

At this point, Durham’s investigation into the Russia scandal investigation has lasted longer than Mueller’s original probe of the Russia scandal.

 

After an extended period of apparent inactivity, the prosecutor last year indicted cybersecurity attorney Michael Sussmann for allegedly having lied to the FBI. The case proved to be baseless; Sussmann was acquitted; and one of the jurors publicly mocked Durham’s team for having taken the case to trial.

 

Five months later, Durham and his team also tried to prosecute Russian analyst Igor Danchenko. That failed too, bringing the probe to an apparent, ignominious end.

 

The tale of the tape is brutal:

 

Two trials

Zero convictions

One provocative resignation

A largely meaningless guilty plea from an obscure figure

A –''

 

$6.5 million price tag–''

By any fair measure, this is the most misguided and inconsequential special counsel investigation in the modern history of American law enforcement.

 

But the humiliation is not limited to the prosecutor. Every once in a while, Trump still blurts out Durham’s name, hoping the prosecutor might yet bolster some of the former president’s conspiracy theories. As regular readers may recall, the Republican — who predicted that Durham would uncover “the crime of the century” — has even suggested at times that Durham’s probe could serve as a possible vehicle for retaliating against his perceived enemies.

 

So much for that idea.

 

Over the summer, The New York Times’ Charlie Savage wrote a report questioning why the Durham investigation existed. He added, “Mr. Barr’s mandate to Mr. Durham appears to have been to investigate a series of conspiracy theories.”

 

Those theories, however, lacked merit, which is why the Durham probe is ending with an expensive whimper.

 

There is a degree of irony to the circumstances: For years, Team Trump insisted that the Russia scandal was pointless but the Durham investigation was real. It now appears these Republicans had it exactly backward: The Russia scandal was real, and the Durham investigation was pointless.

Benen….did they Star Trek this guy in from anti-matter universe…?

 

What happens if you put him in a room with Bannon? Does the universe implode…?

Not to black pill, but does it matter. Aren't we faciing a population collapse worldwide? and especially in Western Europe & The US.

 

We either import people distasteful as it is or we become a no man's land.

 

Demographic change

The book also predicts that decades of low birthrates in developed countries, especially in Europe, will result in dramatic cultural, social, and political shifts through the first half of the 21st century. These countries will experience economic and social strain, caused by a diminishing working age demographic and a rapidly aging population. As a result, in the 2020s and 2030s, Western nations will begin to compete for immigrants. In particular, the United States will greatly ease immigration controls, and will begin trying to entice foreigners - especially Mexicans - to immigrate to the United States.

 

However, later in the century, as robots begin to make human work obsolete, mass unemployment will result, and the United States, suffering from a labor surplus, will move to limit immigration again.

>what do you know that other's don't?

I don't ….

My statement is based on logical assumptions derived from open source information.

 

1) Read that book "The Singularity Is Near"

2) Compare and contrast with other open source information

3) THINK quantum computing.

4) Assume DARPA and like agencies are at least 5 years ahead of anything public.

5) Apply Moores Law (processing power & memory double every 1.5 yrs =/- )

 

Example (one of my faves - not necessarily this exact article….dig more):

Take what you know from Q. Looking Glass, YellowBook

 

Look for what is out there in quantum computers:

Then look at the WEF psychos Yuval Harari or whatever his name is…giving counsel to those fucktards. They know the possibilities are around the corner and they want to control it….they are not going to be spending their time and money chasing bullshit, they want to own your ass (and mine) and everyone elses.

 

I didn't get to this position overnight, but certain things have clicked over time (shit, it took weeks to read that damn book). Don't assume that the premise described in the video is wrong, assume it is correct.
