Has the Durham Investigation of the Russiagate Hoax Been Deep-Sixed?

I never had any expectation that the Trump Justice (sic) Department would investigate the Obama DOJ, FBI, and CIA officials who commited felonies while creating the Russiagate hoax that was intended to drive President Trump from office. The Washington Establishment never lowers the boom on its own.

Attorney General William Barr and US Attorney John Durham are establishment figures. So are the alleged targets of their investigation. But Trump is not an establishment figure. He challenged the establishment openly in his inaugeration speech, and the establishment has been after him ever since.

The alleged investigation by Durham has been going on far too long to be anything but a sham. An indictment of senior Obama officials would hurt the Democrat’s chance in four months to remove Trump from the scene. The two political parties are both creatures of the establishment, and the establishment wants Trump gone.

Moreover, there is no point to the Durham investigation. The crimes commited by the Obama officials are well known. The evidence against them has been available for a long time. But it is unlikely to ever result in indictments.

This concerns Senator Chuck Grassley. And it should. Once high officials abuse power and commit felonies in order to frame the President of the United States and get away with it, you can kiss good-bye any possibility of the government ever being held accountable or restrained by law or Constitution.

Conservatives think the problem is a double standard that favors Democrats and works against Republicans. The problem is entirely different. Trump underestimated the power of the establishment and went against them on bringing American jobs home, immigration, and normal relations with Russia. The establishment doesn’t want the jobs home—they cost too much here. The establishment wants immigration, which is almost entirely people of color, because it introduces conflict and prevents the people from uniting against the establishlment. The establishlment wants tensions with Russia; otherwise there is no enemy to justify the massive power, constitutional erosion, budget, and profits of the military/security complex.

I predicted accurately that Trump would fall into the hands of advisers who would staff him with an establishment government that would prevent change.

I do not know whether four years of all-out-assault on President Trump by the presstitute media and his inability to deliver to those who elected him have deprived him of re-election. Whether he is re-eleted or not, we will not see another president after Trump attempt to put the people before the establishment. Not only has Trump made clear to future candidates the high cost of displeasing the establishment, but also the population is too divided to provide a president with a political base. Not even the 60% white population, which has been turned into second class citizens and placed under racial threat, can unite. What is to stop the United States from crossing the line from democracy into tyranny?

Let's put it this way -- how's the indictment of Hellary coming 27 years since her federal crime spree began? We just heard the case was active again a few months ago!

I fear the answer re Russiagate is very parallel :(

I get the feeling that nothing is going to happen before the election.

None of those people will ever see bars.

If charges not brought on those people, I may well not vote.

I often wonder if Trump has the courage to declare martial law and jail all the members of government.

If need arises, would Trump have guts to declare martial law and jail all members of government?

In 1871 to quell RACE crimes in the South committed on blacks the Ku Klux act came into being.

Now it is reversed, blacks loot, rape, burn and murder and LOCAL POLICE DO NOTHING.

Trump can declare martial law and restore order.

This is where Trump may go if he has the guts to do so. Notice Grant did NOT hesitate to use this authority?????

"""The Third Force Act, also known as the KKK or the Civil Rights Act of 1871, empowered President Ulysses S. Grant to use the armed forces to combat those who conspired to deny equal protection of the laws and, if necessary, to suspend habeas corpus to enforce the act. Grant signed the legislation on this day in 1871. After the act’s passage, the president for the first time had the power to suppress state disorders on his own initiative and suspend the right of habeas corpus. Grant did not hesitate to use this authority."""

Civil Rights Act of 1871

Much important legislation was enacted in 1871. One was the Act of 1871 which created a government for Washington, D.C. ;)

We are not sure. Time will tell the whole story.

George Washington lead the troops when people in Pennsylvania refused to pay the excise on alcoholic beverages as the new Constitution demanded. ;)

Would he be able to jail all of those in the Deep State who are entrenched and working toward their retirement. ;)

No need to.

Jail all members of government, House, Senate and supreme Court.

The peons will be on their knees pledging fidelity.

Behind the curtain are the international bankers that have been there for every war, coup, and destruction of nations through monetary manipulation.

I have warned family members to relocate away from any major city, and be armed and able to defend themselves because the unrest is going to worsen.

The Federal Reserve Banks need to be impounded (especially the New York Branch) and high level officers arrested, using whatever forces necessary to obtain the objective.

Except for the fact that it would signal the end of the world, I'd welcome it. Dead wood must be excised to save a tree -- indeed those guilty of criminal neglect, treason, misprision, warmongering, genocide, breach of contract, corrupting of public morals, and syndicalism should hang.
