A Ukrainian that Giuliani was working with in order to dig up dirt on Biden has been sanctioned by the US Treasury for being a Russian agent.

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/11/us/politics/nora-dannehy-durham-russia-investigation.html

Top aide to Durham resigned from DOJ, according to some sources it was because of political pressure Barr is putting on the investigation. Apparently there's talk of putting out an interim report on the investigation before the election.

So we have Trump's personal lawyer openly working with a Russian agent to influence the election(sound familiar?) and his AG pressuring a US attorney to shape his investigative schedule so that Barr can release a politically motivated report.

And we have an entire political party and 40% of the country that is totally fine with all of this.


This election isn't going to be a referendum on Covid. It's going to be a statement about America's tolerance of blatant corruption. If Republicans do well this election, it's a statement that Americans want their politicians to participate in corruption for personal gain.

nah, it's not about if they WANT it, it's about whether they TOLERATE it or not - and there is a definitive answer to that: of course they do. as long as it's their 'team' committing the crimes, republicans couldn't care less about things like corruption, self-dealing, lying, lawlessness, or killing literally thousands of americans through inaction and incompetence. it's all about 'owning' the libs and hating minorities. american politics has nothing to do with substance or principles, lol.

FBI Director Wray: "We certainly have seen very active, very active efforts by the Russians to influence our election in 2020...to both sow divisiveness and discord and...to denigrate Vice President Biden."


Wray is one of the few members of this administration who has acted with integrity.

Basically, Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI), despite getting his dick stepped on by then-Chairman of the SIC (Richard Burr), continued his pursuit of the Biden-Ukraine angle, and is now disavowing any relationship or knowing of Derkach.

Republicans are cool with working with Russia or Russia-linked individuals if it helps them in the election. They're not even hiding it anymore.

Twitter thread on (prosecutor who was on SC team) Andrew Weissmann's new book. Some interesting insights.

It's funny how the entitlement, cowardice, and corruption of Trump and his family/associates is so baked in that nobody even talks about the special treatment they received. Ivanka, Don Jr, and even Trump himself never sat down for an interview. Hillary did in the email investigation. Bill did in the Ken Starr witch hunt.

Are we talking about the time when Clinton told investigators she "wasn't sure" what the "C" in confidential meant? I thought it was a cardinal sin to lie to investigators.
