"the facts reveal this new assessment was based on information that was known by those involved to be manufactured i.e. the Steele Dossier or deemed as not credible. This was politicized intelligence..."
From the Durham Report discussion of the 371 conspiracy statute:
Dasting footnote from the Durham Report on when political activity, such as opposition research, becomes criminal activity:
🤔
Would this letter happen to include the numbers 28 and 600 anywhere on it?
Did @AGPamBondi just appoint a Special Counsel?
Because you don’t announce grand juries or send letters to prosecutors saying “hey, go do a grand jury now.”
Grand juries are secret, from beginning to end and are a product of an investigation that’s already been well in motion for a period of time.
So, this backstory of the source doesn’t make sense.
@AGPamBondi But it DOES make sense if the letter Fox News saw contains language like this:
@AGPamBondi DOJ announced the Strike Force just ten days ago.
@AGPamBondi And @DNIGabbard made the referral(s) only 15 days ago.
@AGPamBondi @DNIGabbard I know people don’t want to hear this, but...
It's far too soon for indictments.
An indictment coming out less than a month after the referral would likely be for some low level crimin’, not big time conspiracy crimin’.
@AGPamBondi @DNIGabbard I think the backstory for this Fox News report makes a lot more sense if the letter they saw names a special counsel, but there's an embargo on using that term, so they characterized it in the manner that they did.
Of course, I don't know if AG Bondi just appointed a special counsel. This could just be Fox News sensationalizing a letter that was leaked, and all the letter does is name someone to lead the strike force.
I do think a special counsel is necessary, though, and that she will appoint one before the end of the year.

The usual suspects are gearing up to fight the DOJ probe into Fulton County, this time as regards the grand jury subpoena for records of employees and volunteers who worked the 2020 election.
On April 20, 2026, the FBI served a subpoena to the Fulton County Board of Registration and Elections for information concerning individuals who worked the 2020 elections in Fulton. (see red box in pic.)
Fulton had until May 5, 2026, to comply but on April 29 asked for a 14-day extension.
🧵United States v. Southern Poverty Law Center, Inc.
NEW SUPERSEDING INDICTMENT
Same charges as in the original indictment:
6 Counts of Wire Fraud
4 Counts of False Statements Bank
1 Count of Conspiracy to Commit Money Laundering
Forfeiture
Adds new info to strengthen those charges.
Recall that the theory of this case is that the SPLC solicited donations and told donors that their contributions would be used to "dismantle" violent extremist groups.
But, unbeknownst to those donors, some of the money (millions) went to funding individuals in those groups who then used the money to promote the groups' activities and message.
The SPLC for decades ran a paid informant network that at times took direction from leadership at the SPLC.
This created a circumstance (or setup) where the SPLC, who according to their own website, literature, public-facing resources, and messaging, was working to "take down" these violent extremist groups, was instead directing and paying those same violent extremists to do violent and extreme things.
Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control is abbreviated as OFAC, but when folks get administrative subpoenas from them, they often mispronounce the acronym.
According to CodePink co-founder Medea Benjamin, the email from OFAC was sent to the other co-founder, Jodie Evans's, spam folder.
OFAC is seeking a lot of information from Codepink regarding their visit to Cuba.
"Approximately 170 people participated in the convoy and suggested the scope of the inquiry could require organizers to account for the activities of every participant."
It is not known when Rush stopped working for the CIA or why, but we know from the affidavit that he requested and received "a significant quantity of foreign currency and tens of millions of dollars in gold bars for work-related expenses" between November 2025 and March 2026.
So his employment must have run at least until then.
At some point, I'm guessing between March and early May, the CIA began an investigation/review of what Rush was up to.
They were "unable to locate the gold bars or significant amounts of the foreign currency Rush received pursuant to his requests or to identify the intended use of these funds."
The "data center hysteria" is largely a repacking of the "climate change hysteria."
The hysteria is fueled, in part, by bad data, lack of perspective, and influence operations that lead with emotional bait.
Like the 20th-century predictions of climate catastrophes, it is another form of anti-capitalism (pro-communism) propaganda meant to capture your mind through fear.
A teachable moment.
In 2025, a left-wing anti-AI author, Karen Hao, published her non-fiction book 'Empire of AI: Dreams and Nightmares in Sam Altman's OpenAI.'
It's done very well. A NYT bestseller and winner of multiple awards, the book received much praise.
Anti-AI and anti-data center sentiments, which go hand in hand, are now mainstream, and this book boosted them there.
You may have noticed the uptick in opposition to both.
Sometimes the angle of surveillance, aka "Big Brother," is also included.
