Danchenko’s arrest is a seismic development and confirmed Durham is far from done with his investigation...jonathanturley.org/2021/11/04/igo…
...Danchenko is not someone who immediately comes across as an apex defendant — the highest target in an investigation. He is the type of defendant that prosecutors pressure to flip against those who retained him or used him in this effort...
...Potential apex targets range from Steele himself to Clinton general counsel Marc Elias to other campaign officials. It is not clear that Durham has evidence against those figures but there is every indication that he is not done by a long shot with his investigation.
Here is the indictment: context-cdn.washingtonpost.com/notes/prod/def…

The indictment circles around an unnamed figure called PR-Executive-1 who was a close Clinton adviser who held high positions in the Democratic party and prior Clinton campaigns...
...Most embarrassing are references to the Clinton adviser meeting with possible Russian intelligence figures and other Russian sources, including this line...:
...PR Executive-! gifted to
Russian Sub-Source-1 an autobiography of Hillary Clinton, which he signed and inscribed with
the handwritten message, "To my good friend [first name of Russian Sub-Source-1], A Great
Democrat."

Sen. Dick Durbin just told AG Garland that the people engaging in threatening behavior in school board meetings "are the same people . . . some of whom we saw on January 6th."jonathanturley.org/2021/10/21/att…
...That seems to amplify rather than abandon the narrative of national security threats. The withdrawal of the domestic terrorist claim has that Gulf of Tonkin feeling of hostilities continuing after the triggering incident is debunked. jonathanturley.org/2021/10/23/an-…
AG Garland just conceded that most of the examples cited in the Board letter "would not be covered by state or federal law and they would be protected by the First Amendment."

AG Garland just agreed that, despite the letter from the National School Boards Association, he does not see any basis for using the Patriot Act against parents in school board meetings...
...That is heartening though hardly surprising given the definition of domestic terrorists. However, the answer begs the question on the basis for the intervention laid out in the DOJ memorandum. There are ample state and local laws to combat any criminal threats.
...The memo creates a nationwide effort to "address threats against school administrators, board members,
teachers, and staff," including "open dedicated lines of communication for threat reporting, assessment, and response." ...

Vice President Kamala Harris has taped an endorsement of McAuliffe that is being played at hundreds of African American churches around the state. The problem is the “Johnson Amendment” makes such political pitches in churches a violation of federal law. jonathanturley.org/2021/10/18/did…
The IRS warns that such violations will not be tolerated because tax-exempt groups “are absolutely prohibited from directly or indirectly participating in, or intervening in, any political campaign on behalf of (or in opposition to) any candidate for elective public office.”
...Putting aside any violation, it is notable that the Democrats used the opposition to the Johnson Amendment by former President Donald Trump as a rallying cry in the last election...

Many of us criticized President Trump for crossing the line on seeking to influence the Justice Department. A chorus of legal experts declared such public comments to be an attack on the rule of law. Those voices are now largely silent...jonathanturley.org/2021/10/17/bid…
...Biden’s call for prosecutions ignores the fact that most of the Democratic leadership supported the Obama Administration in refusing to even submit contempt cases to grand juries. That was the case with Eric Holder in the “Fast and Furious” investigation...
...If the Democrats seek the prosecution of these Trump officials, they will have to step over a mountain of hypocrisy on such cases...

Activists have announced plans to "birddog" Sinema during the Boston marathon despite every indication that such harassment is only deepening her resolve. newsweek.com/activists-foll… It is similar to the running of billboards to push Justice Breyer to retire.

It is extremely unlikely that such hounding will lead to a change of position. Few public figures want to be seen yielding to such over-the-top tactics. So these well-funded campaigns are not about actually producing changes but rather venting rage.
Indeed, the campaigns make it less likely that these figures will yield. However, they are good for raising money. The irony is that they are only undermining the causes that they claim to support -- pushing these figures to reaffirm rather than change their positions.
