A court filing on Sunday is supposed to contain explosive new evidence of Hillary Clinton’s part in spying on Trump. Republicans vow to ‘get to the truth’ after Durham reports Democrat-linked spying on Trump.
That’s good news for Trump, but he has to be an ass about it.
“In a stronger period of time in our country,” he said, “this crime would have been punishable by death.”
What is the point of saying that?
Now the left can use Trump’s silly comment to distract from the real story.

Let’s see…what are we up to in terms of Clinton investigations? I’ve lost count. Wasn’t it 7 Benghazi investigations? Uranium One investigation? Whitewater? Clinton Foundation? At least 3 email investigations, inclusive of one where Trump’s own administration cleared her. Somehow, all have resulted the same way…no criminal charges. So, maybe this time they will find something that will be legally prosecutable and worthy of the American people’s funding and time.
Ironically, for all the fuss about Clinton’s emails and chants of “lock her up” from this crowd…there seems to be very little of the same about the latest allegations of mishandling of classified/official WH records by Trump. Could this latest anti-Clinton story be a red herring to distract from Trump’s ongoing investigative woes? We’ll see.

Given Trump’s track record, even without his latest “statement”, the left has plenty of material to distract. In fact, I wonder if they might remind the public about another spying allegation… “He spied on my campaign, and got caught!” (speaking of Obama)
He’s a total ass. What else can you say?
If he hadn’t mis-managed and politicized COVID, he probably would have easily won re-election. People are ready to stand behind the leader when tragedy strikes. Unfortunately, it’s not in his DNA.
Other thing…we’ll see if it’s a real court filing, or a Sidney Powell type court filing where “no reasonable person would think it is real.” (Powell in her own defense)
A special counsel appointed by the DOJ is a somewhat different figure from a hack lawyer hired by a sore loser to keep a story alive. But as you say, time will tell.
Sorry, that was meant as a reply to smitemouth.
I didn’t vote for Hillary so I don’t give a d*mn. I didn’t vote for her because of the way she handled classified documents and set up a mail server the way she did. I was a government civil servant years ago working on classified projects. I know that my security clearance would be toast if I did stuff like that.
So far, it’s hard to see if this will trace back to HRC. I think they should continue the investigation. My main experience with orange bozo is that he typically accuses others of what he is already doing.
Agreed that Trump is not credible, and the stuff that William reported below about what Giuliani is saying sounds like absolute lunacy. Not quite sure what’s going on with Rudy but something is definitely amiss there. Talking about treason is also absurd.
But my point was that it *seems* like there is more behind this than Trump. Whether that’s true and whether there’s any “there” there, remains to be seen.

I agree that it remains to be seen what comes of it all. For now, it *seems* as if some had legal access to data but used it in an unethical manner…likely to make a buck or curry political favor. I’ve yet to see anything that would make Clinton directly culpable for spying or hacking. Frankly, at this point, it feels like this story is being used as red herring. Yet, we shall see.
This story just got really interesting. Rudy Giuliani claims to have evidence against Clinton. “I happen to have it in my bedroom, or my den, actually,” Giuliani told Newsmax network late Tuesday. “I’ve had it there for years.” This is the same man that made similar claims about the “stolen” 2020 election (still waiting for that evidence…where’s the kraken?).

Of course, I won’t believe a word of it until it’s proven. If this man had ANY legitimate, legally condemning information against Clinton, I strongly suspect he wouldn’t have waited this long to reveal it…if no more than to create a diversion to help his buddy Trump.
Below is a fairly reasonable article that summarizes what we know about the “anti-Clinton” story to date. It seems what has been alleged by Trump, Trump-supporters and Trump-friendly media wasn’t exactly what was in the court documents submitted by Durham. As well, it was interesting, relative to questionable DNS lookup activity, it seemed to have a broader scope than some outlets reported. “As Durham pointed out later in the filing, these DNS lookups started as early as 2014, when Barack Obama was in office, and continued until early 2017.”
The article summarized the story by stating…
In this case, the information Durham laid out raises questions about the ethics of Joffe using the data his company had legal access to for purposes that went beyond the scope of what the firm was hired to do. But there is no evidence presented by Durham saying that someone illegally accessed the data, and Durham doesn’t accuse anyone of breaking the law by hacking or spying.
That doesn’t mean Durham won’t bring more serious charges down the line related to Democratic efforts to establish a Trump-Russia link, or that Sussmann and his source didn’t behave unethically. It just means that Friday’s filing doesn’t lay out any such efforts that would constitute what Trump has implied is treasonous conduct punishable by death.

QUOTE: Trump ruins a perfectly good anti-Clinton story
Is Trump the real culprit or a main character in the story…Special Counsel John Durham? Seems the right wing Hillary lynch mob dropped the story like a hot potato once Durham stated…“third parties or members of the media have overstated, understated or otherwise misinterpreted facts.”. The special counsel implicitly acknowledged that much of the White House internet data he discussed, which conservative outlets portrayed as proof of spying on the Trump White House, came from the Obama era. Like so many other anti-Clinton stories, over the years, I wonder if this one will end the same. We’ll see.
It looks like another desperate attempt to divert attention away from the shocking truths that are emerging from the investigations of the 1/6 commission. But if anyone has any dirt on Hillary, let them bring it on.
Exactly! Not only the 1/6 investigation but several others that have moved forward in the courts and have evidence directly implicating Trump and his family/cohorts. When there’s a recording of Trump telling the Georgia Secretary of State to “find” more votes in his favor and a grand jury is convened…that “might” be an issue. When judges deny tossing out Tump cases and see reasons for them to go forward…that “might” be a reason to divert attention. It’s worked previously so why not try again?
As well, Giuliani suddenly revealing he’s had evidence against Clinton in his home for years, that’s a major red flag that this anti-Clinton story could very well be a red herring. Yet, it should be investigated and if there is culpability on Clinton’s part, she should be held accountable. We’ll see.

Seems this “explosive” anti-Clinton story was nothing more than a fizzle, if that. The jury acquitted Sussman of the single charge brought against him for allegedly lying to the FBI. Seems Trump didn’t have to ruin it…the prosecutors presenting a weak case did that.
So, Special Counsel Durham has been at this for 3 years and this is the first case that has gone to trial and they lost due to insufficient evidence. Makes one wonder if there’s any there there. At least with the Muller investigation, it was completed in 2 years and yielded six criminal convictions involving Trump associates. Interestingly, Roger Stone and Paul Manafort were pardoned by Trump. Hmm.
