Which should lead any reasonable observer to realize that Durham has permission to use the sequestered evidence from the @carterwpage FISA.
FISC Judge Boasberg authorized DOJ to use the evidence to prosecute people involved in the case. #ButNothingsHappening
Which is a big tell from Durham that his case against Hillary's agents who were attempting to frame Trump for Collusion. Includes a broader scope because the same people involved were also framing US intel agents for Russian Collusion. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/7208…
The FISC ruling specifically addressed the need of then USA Durham to use the evidence in FBI files & systems of spying on Carter Page to prosecute those who spied on Carter Page.
Boasberg ruled that to get specific unminimized information, Durham would need to demonstrate a particular need to use & disclose the unminimized information.
The need that Emptywheel sees in the Danchenko case.
If he can't prove his case without it, Durham has met the standard!
Boasberg's ruling specifically authorized necessary usage to invetigate or prosecute crimes related to the Page or Crossfire Hurricane investigations, provided they demonstrate a particular need to disclose the evidence.
DOJ must notify the Judge only after authorizing it.
Emptywheel thinks giving Danchenko's defense an excuse to demand all this information for discovery is a mistake by Durham.
Why would anyone think that Durham isn't prosecuting Danchenko to provide him the need to disclose information of illegal spying that otherwise coundn't?
Durham didn't accidentally give Danchenko the chance to demand disclosure of classified evidence.
It is a way to force the disclosure of classified evidence that will expose the crimes of the larger conspiracy that is currntly covered by classification.
Danchenko won't be bluffed into pleading guilty as the sentences are fairly light for lying to the FBI.
'Forcing' DOJ to get agencies to declassify this information for his defense. Once declassified it can then be used in other cases & Durham's report to AG Garland.
Even more important, Judge Trenga who is trying the Danchenko case has spent the last 3 years trying to get DOJ to disclose more classified information in the FARA case against LTG. Flynn's former partner.
So he's primed to make DOJ over declassify info on the Russia Hoax.
Even better, the discovery will force Brady disclosure on Durham to find all the missing documents & hidden information from the Mueller prosecutions involving @GeorgePapa19@SergeiMillian Kilimnik & Oleg Deripaska.
Everyone in the Russia Hoax was working for Deripaska!
I did a thread on this when emptywheel realized Durham would have to disclose information about Deripaska's involvement.
Durham has now 'forced himself' to declassify all of this information about Deripaska's role in Russiagate...
It wasn't an accident!
DOJ fires a shot at Project Veritas & O'Keefe.
There's a difference between stealing documents & publishing documents stolen by someone else!
Claiming that PV stole the documents & thus has no 1st Amendment rights as a publisher! #ButNothingsHappening
The discussion is whether to have a DOJ filter team review the material for privileged information & seal it off from the investigators & prosecutors.
Or to appoint a Special Master to review the documents for priviliged information.
DOJ says that O'Keege & PV are making statements that are "false or misleading" to pretend this investigation is not legitimate & in compliance with DOJ policy.
Essentially saying their claim that they had no involvement in the theft is false.
Indictment unsealed: Iranians charged with 2020 Election interference, including posing as Proud Boys in an effort to dupe Republicans into believing false evidence of election rigging. #ButNothingsHappening
Treasury has sanctioned the people involved, the cybersecurity company they worked for (a front for Iranian intelligence?) and the leadership of that company.
Good thing Biden extended Trump's election interference Executive Order! home.treasury.gov/news/press-rel…
A look at Public Relations Executive-1, almost certainly Charles Dolan Jr. & his Russian friends who he colluded with to interfere in the 2016 election to help Hillary win!
Igor Danchenko was Chris Steele's of @orbis Primary Subsource when working for @HillaryClinton & @TheDemocrats to falsely accuse Donald Trump of colluding with the Russians.
Now we know that this effort was conducted in collusion with the Russians.
Danchenko lied to the FBI about his contacts with PR Executive-1, hereafter Dolan.
Danchenko attempted to conceal that Dolan, a lifelong Democratic Party insider, was his source for much of the Russian dirt against Trump.
Just as predicted 17 months ago. Daszak violated his grant conditions with NIH & conducted Gain of Function work at Wuhan. Daszak stole taxpayer dollars to fund his collaboration with Chinese scientists.
As I stated before Daszak & EcoHealth alliance is under investigation for lying to NIH & violating their grant conditions.
As a response to "NIH's compliance enforcement efforts" Daszak admitted in August 2021 that he accidentally conducted GoF research in 2018-19 at Wuhan.
NIH prohibited Daszak from conducting GoF research & included provisions in his grant that if Daszak's work accidentally produced a pathogen, they were to immediately stop work & notify NIH.
But they concealed their results from NIH for 2+ years.
The 'intelligence' reports that Jon Winer deleted at Steele's request, were reports Deripaska funded & gave to State in order to convince them that he wasn't Putin's man.
A far bigger crime than his Trump Dossier...
The effort to stop Trump was the cover up for the real crimes!
The effort to stop Trump was a Deripaska tired of Vladimir Putin taking his cut of the action.
An oligarch who wanted to overthrow Putin in hopes of getting an overlord who would not shake him down.
Deripaska wanted a color revolution in Russia, framing Trump & Putin was his role
Deripaska even enlisted the NYTimes to threaten American politicians if they allowed the Mueller investigation to investigate his role in framing Trump.
