Before running down the rabbit trail that’s in all the headlines today (Clinton paid Joffe and his firm to spy on Trump both before and after he became president), everybody please take a long breath and go re-read the Durham filing. There’s nothing in it about Joffe (Tech
Executive-1) being paid by Clinton or her campaign. Rather, a company Joffe was associated with, probably Neustar, was under contract to perform DNS services for the EOP (Executive Offices of the President), and had been performing those services since 2014. Neustar, assuming
that was the company, was given access to the DNS data via a server within the Executive Offices. There are many implications about that arrangement, which are discussed in detail by this excellent article:
And then read this thread by @ClimateAudit , suggesting there may be another company, a rival of Neustar, that has the contract with the WH for such services:
Read @ProfMJCleveland ‘s piece on the filing made on behalf of Sussmann yesterday in response to Durham’s request that Sussmann be required to waive his attorneys’ conflict on the record: thefederalist.com/2022/02/15/wha…
As @ProfMJCleveland points out, Sussmann or his lawyers dost protest too much. Clearly the kitchen heat is going up. The response picks at a couple of nits regarding what Durham allegedly got wrong. The two biggest are that Durham never talked to a “full time” Clinton campaign
person until we’ll after Sussmann was indicted. As the article points out, the “full time” description appears to be lawyers’ wordsmithing. Sussmann also argues that Durham is wrong about the DNS data presented to the CIA in February. According to Sussmann the data didn’t cover
This Nov 22, 2016 email describes corrupt Ukrainians and a $7 million bribe to shut down a legal effort to retrieve over $23 million stolen from Ukraine’s oil and gas leasing program. Kent points out that the US effort to stop this type of corruption is undermined by Hunter
Biden’s position on the board of corrupt Burisma while Joe Biden was VP. This email was never produced to those defendanting Trump in his first impeachment, although the corruption described in the email outlines exactly the same transaction s, and draws the same conclusions, as
Thinking some more on what’s going on with the newest Durham revelation that Durham just this month obtained new documents from the OIG, here’s my theory. The documents relate to a meeting Sussmann had in March 2017 with the OIG- specifically the IG and the OIG general counsel,
about something Sussmann’s client, Joffe (Tech Executive-1) found: A computer used by an employee of the OIG had surfaced somehow on the internet and that the computer was linked to a foreign- based VPN. That fact alone raises all sorts of questions, such as how Joffe found this,
whether what he found was part of a contract obtained by his company Neustar with the FBI- that very month, and whether there was any blackmail involved. For if the supposedly illicit communications by someone within the OIG became known by Joffe as part of Neustar’s cyber
Perusing @ProfMJCleveland ‘s thread on the excellent brief filed on behalf of Carter Page by @McAdooGordon , to me the single biggest claim is the one that we know the least about: the so-called “leak strategy” referenced in Lisa Page’s texts to Strzok, concerning leaks of
classified information, including the fact that there was a FISA warrant targeting Carter Page as a Russian agent. Here is @@ProfMJCleveland on that subject:
We know that former staffer with the Senate Intel Committee, Michael Wolfe, pleaded guilty for lying to the FBI about leaking to a reporter, who happened to be his mistress, the fact of the C Page warrant. But the “leak strategy” referenced by Lisa Page went beyond that single
In a brilliant interview by @JanJekielek on Epoch Times, novelist and essayist @walterkirn describes our plight in the face of what he calls the “hydra-headed monster,” the bureaucracy: “We sit squarely in the middle of an absurdist drama.” Highly recommended.
There are gems upon gems throughout the interview. For example, Kirn takes on elitism. His view is that the elites believe it to be their job to “engineer and bring about right behavior,” using tools the masses don’t know are being used. Think psyop campaigns. Kirn is not a
conspiracy theorist. He even rejects the idea that he’s a contrarian. Rather, as someone who lives in a small town in Montana and knows the owner of the local hardware store, he has seen first hand what the elites with their increasingly absurd edicts have wrought.
This WSJ opinion article raises an interesting issue with respect to the duties of the Solicitor General who argued the mandate case last week. As the article describes, the CDC has acknowledged that vaccines do not stop the spread of the Omicron variant, which now represents
A lawyer owes an ethical duty of candor to the court, which in practice means that when a lawyer cites facts or authorities, for which there are contrary published authorities or facts in the record, the lawyer owes an ethical duty to point out the contrary facts and opinions.
