I think the fact that he has no case without the big bad FBI is hilarious, especially in light of the well do ented disdain for the feds you've displayed here.
So then what's with the 5 lmao emojis in a row?

It’s hilarious you think he thinks he needs the big bad FBI. He hung them out to dry today. I’m not sure he actually gives a about Danchenko, its looking like he’s more interested in publicly airing out all the dirty laundry of the FBI/DOJ.
If he didn't need them, then they wouldn't be his witnesses and if he had any dirt on the FBI, they'll be on trial, not on the witness stand. But I'm good if he wants to lose this case too, just like the last one....![]()
losing two federal jury trials within a few months would be quite the accomplishment, tbh
The important takeaway here is that Durham went down losing by his own impotent rage.
I have no reason to believe Durham didn't do his best and dug as deep as needed. Considering nobody is or has been in jail over this (we'll see about Danchenko), I guess it just was a nothingburger.
It happens.
Only the best.![]()
OJ didnt find the “killers?”

inb4 TSA spins this as an epic win for durham
dang, Durham skipped elements of the crime
Trump tried to have his Vice-President murdered and this is your focus.
Those statements are actually consistent with the Steele Dossier not being in Mueller's "purview"... thus, where's the lie?

Durham was vague about why FBI agents working on the Mueller probe didn’t pursue leads he said they should have, such as by tracking down phone and travel records. Some FBI personnel who testified said they wanted to open an investigation into Dolan, but were rebuffed by superiors.
“For whatever reason, there is a certain mindset that agents did not do what they should have done,” Durham told the jurors, without elaborating. While repeatedly raising such episodes, prosecutors insisted they were ultimately irrelevant to the case against Danchenko.
Defenders of the FBI probe have argued that, whatever the criticism of the bureau’s handling of the Steele dossier, that report was a relatively small part of the overall Trump-Russia investigation, which was well underway by the time the dossier surfaced.

The Testimony of Former FBI Intelligence Analyst Brittany Hertzog
Hertzog was with the FBI from 2008 through 2019 as an intelligence analyst with a primary focus on Russian counterintelligence. She described her role as an analyst who “looks at information and tries to identify trends, patterns, and investigative next steps.” She was assigned to the Directorate of Intelligence at FBI Headquarters.
Hertzog was assigned to Special Counsel Mueller’s Office in July 2017. She described her role and chain of command with the Mueller Team:
Q And what, generally, was your role with the Special Counsel Mueller's team?
A I was primarily initially to focus on looking into reports that the FBI had received on Russian matters.
Q All right. Did those reports have a particular name?
A We referred to them typically as the Steele dossier.
Q Now, as a member of Special Counsel Mueller's team, was there a chain of command?
A Yes.
Q Can you describe the chain of command that you worked with?
A I reported directly to SIA Brian Auten. Above him was Special Counsel Mueller. There were horizontal chains of reporting as well. So there was an attorney, a supervisory special agent, and then head of FBI personnel.
Q Okay. So you had occasion to work with special agents as well, correct?
A Correct.
Q And who were some of the special agents that you worked with Special Counsel Mueller?
A I worked with Supervisory Special Agent Amy Anderson and Supervisory Special Agent Joe Nelson.
Hertzog became familiar with the Steele Dossier, and with the parties involved in the Steele Dossier, once she joined the Mueller Team:
Q And how did you become familiar with Mr. Steele?
A When I reported [July 2017] to the Special Counsel's Office, SCO, I had received background information on the investigation up until that point.
It was her job to “look into the Steele Dossier.” She described this as “trying to identify the sourcing for the claims in the dossier and, specifically, the national security threat with regards to the Russian influence piece.” Hertzog explains:
Q And a lot of names appeared in those dossier reports?
A Correct.
Q Did you learn that there were a number of different sources that the defendant relied on?
A Yes.
Q Did you have a particular focus on any of those sources?
A There were a number of sub-sources that were identified for investigative next steps.
Q Okay. And did you have a particular individual that you focused on?
A Yes. There was an individual named Olga Galkina who was -- when I was assigned to SCO, was my primary focus initially.
Compare Hertzog’s testimony to the words of Robert Mueller:
The Testimony of FBI Special Agent Amy Anderson
Agent Anderson, who works in the field of counterintelligence, was part of the Crossfire Hurricane/Mueller Team from April 2017 through January of 2018. Her initial assignment was “to attempt to validate the Steele Dossier,” to “either verify the reporting or determine that it was not accurate.”
Anderson described her role and supervisors with Special Counsel Mueller:
Q What was your initial -- who were you initially working with in that role at the Special Counsel's investigation?
A When I first arrived at the Special Counsel, I worked with Supervisory Intelligence Analyst Brian Auten, as well as quite a few other intelligence analysts, Stephanie LaParre, Iva Drasinover. We had a team that was working the dossier in particular.
Q Did you work with someone by the name of Brittany Hertzog?
A I worked with Brittany a little bit later. She came in not at the very beginning but maybe a month after, a month or two.
Q And in terms of who you reported to at the Special Counsel's office, if you could, just tell us who you reported to.
A Technically, I reported to Supervisory Special Agent Joe Nelson.
Anderson said she was interested in Dolan in particular, given his connection to Galkina and Danchenko:
Q And how did you learn of the connection between Mr. Dolan to Ms. Galkina and the defendant?
A I believe it was also database checks, and Ms. Galkina did tell us that she knew him -- both of them.
Q And learning of Mr. Dolan's connection to the two individuals, what did you do with respect to Mr. Dolan? Did you look into him?
A I wanted to look into him.
She also wanted to speak to Danchenko. But she had to do that through Agent Helson, Danchenko’s handler. Here’s how that process worked:
Q And just briefly explain to the jury how it might work. If you wanted to get information from Mr. Danchenko, how would you go about getting that?
A I would speak to the source handler. So in this case, I would speak to Agent Helson, and we would discuss what might be interesting for us to know. And then he would go and speak to his source. We do that for reasons of source safety, so that not everyone knows who our sources are.
Agent Anderson would eventually fly to Cyprus with Auten to interview Olga Galkina. She said Galkina was mostly forthcoming, except when it came to discussing Charles Dolan:
Q And did you interview with her all days?
A Yes, we did three days.
Q And would you characterize Ms. Galkina as forthcoming with her information about her role with the dossier and any information in it?
A She seemed mostly forthcoming.
Q You said mostly forthcoming. Was there a particular area that she was not forthcoming about?
A Yes. She was hesitant in telling us about Mr. Dolan.
Q All right. Let's start with the beginning of these interviews. When you began interviewing Ms. Galkina, did you specifically ask her about Mr. Dolan or not?
A We did.
Q And if you could, how did she react when you asked her about Mr. Dolan the first time?
A She did not want to speak about him.
But Anderson kept pressing and eventually straight-up asked if Dolan had a connection with the Steele Dossier. At that point, Galkina admitted Dolan’s involvement:
Agent Anderson then prepared a report of the interviews and compiled a report on everything that she and Analyst Hertzog had compiled on Charles Dolan. That report was submitted to her supervisor, Supervisory Special Agent Joe Nelson.
