I'm a speculator. I'm a dot connector. I take what's publicly available and I fill in the gaps and I theorize.

You know who doesn't do that?

You know who isn't even ALLOWED to speculate or theorize or do any dot connecting?

This guy.

He **can't** speculate.
In a court of law, you're NOT ALLOWED TO GUESS.

You have to have a case you have built quite carefully so there are no gaps in it and unlike let's say FBI agents swearing warrants before the FISC, you have to show both THE COURT and the DEFENSE TEAM your work.
US Attorney's who file indictments against targets of years-long investigations are NOT ALLOWED TO DO ANY DOT CONNECTING IN A COURT OF LAW.

So Durham and all the USA's who will be prosecution these people have to exhaustively PROVE every single assertion they will make.
Every single assertion in an indictment, every single criminal charge made against a defendant has to be PROVED.

Unlike whoever the affiant was of the Carter Page warrant - and as it turns out a whole lot of OTHER FISA warrants - USA's in court don't get to BS about this.
Unlike the FISC, **defense attorneys** will be in the courtroom as these cases are heard and judgments are made.

Those defense attorneys are going to TRY to challenge every single piece of evidence against their clients. That's their job.
The USA's that Barr appointed to investigate this SpyGate scandal know their stuff.

That means they are not going to file any criminal charges that they CAN'T PROVE.

Evidence they DO HAVE to support filing criminal charges are going to tested and tried & challenged in court.
If these USA's [that's United States Attorney, for those of you in Rio Linda!] were dumb enough to file a charge they COULDN'T prove with solid evidence, the defense attorneys will immediately be all over it like lions tearing up a zebra.

These plotters will hire the BEST.
That's why Barr says THIS:

"...if people broke the law and we can establish that with the evidence, they will be prosecuted."

He makes it clear what the point of Durham's entire investigation is. It's to **establish with evidence** that these people broke the law.
Out here on Twitter and as a political pundit, I can do all the threads and write all the columns I want in which I can effortlessly pass over gaps in the currently available public evidence on SpyGate.

USA's in court can't do that, after filing a criminal charge.
So all during the "Identification/Removal" Phase 1, which was from 2017 to early 2018, and then all during the "Exposure of the Plot/Plotters" Phase 2, which kinda overlapped with Phase 1 and extended to December 2019, I have been PATIENTLY WAITING for the final 3rd phase.
Phase 3 is the prosecution phase. Barr was specifically tapped by Trump to come in and handle this phase of the SpyGate scandal.

Trump picked the right guy for the job. And Barr picked the right USA's to prepare the cases & find all the evidence, starting with Durham.
Does it suck that it took 3 1/2 years to get to this point, on the cusp of launching Phase 3?

Well sure it does.

But look back.

There is no way this Prosecution Phase could've started while Mueller was active. Mueller didn't end until March 2019, 1 year ago.
There is no way you could have immediately have launched your Phase 2, your investigation/exposure phase, while the Special Counsel was active.

Remember what happened:
Mueller's investigation revealed THE RUSSIAGATE EMPEROR HAD NO CLOTHES.

Horowitz was tapped to investigate HOW people came to BELIEVE the RussiaGate Emperor had clothes on when he didn't.
Barr then tapped Durham to investigate WHAT people did to create the ILLUSION for so long that fooled so many people into believing the RussiaGate Emperor was clad in the finest clothes when in fact he was prancing around naked with his dick hanging out.
People who tell you we could have gone STRAIGHT TO DURHAM in 2017, 2018, or even 2019 have no idea what they are talking about.

You had to have Mueller PROVE the RussiaGate narrative was a fraud.

Whatever else he hoped to prove, it doesn't matter. THAT'S WHAT MUELLER PROVED.
Mueller was THEIR GUY. THEY vouched for HIM. They said his RESULTS would be unimpeachable.

Well, they were!

Mueller was given a SUPER DUPER WIDE SCOPE in which to search for ANY RussiaGate evidence that existed.

He found NONE.

He **proved** RussiaGate was a hoax.

Right?
People fail to grasp this, even though I try to explain it.

MUELLER UNLEASHED THE **REAL** INVESTIGATIVE HOUNDS once he had to end his RussiaGate probe & show the whole world RussiaGate was nothing more than a massive hoax. A fraud, if you will.
You can't have Mueller's RussiaGate probe of the PRESIDENT and his team going **AT THE SAME TIME** you are very publicly unleashing USA's to investigate the SpyGate plot.

They can't BOTH be happening at the SAME TIME, one has to follow the other.
That's **WHY** Barr waited until Mueller had closed up shop to PUBLICLY bring Durham out into the open and announce the "beginning" of the investigation into that prancing naked RussiaGate emperor.

Mueller ended in March 2019.

Barr unveiled Durham in MAY 2019.

Understand now?
For years now I've had people **insisting** to me Sessions needed to pull the trigger on SpyGate prosecutions back in 2017 or 2018.

Or that Barr needed to pull the trigger & unseal indictments the week he was sworn in back in February of 2019.
Nobody knows how anything works.

Having a "SpyGate team" investigating the SpyGate plotters for faking the RussiaGate scandal WHILE MUELLER IS STILL INVESTIGATING THE RUSSIAGATE SCANDAL you really think that should happen?
The Mueller RussiaGate Team and the Durham SpyGate Team constantly running into each other and getting in each other's way back in 2017 or 2018 or even early 2019?

Be serious, would you?
After all, serious people have been in charge of this from the beginning.

They know what they are doing.

All the people selling you narratives where they're better informed & they'd do a better job than Trump, Sessions or Barr is playing with you.
I just explained something OBVIOUS to you because it was time to do that.

You can't have competing RussiaGate/SpyGate teams openly and publicly going against each other out of the DOJ at the same time.

That's not how things work.

Why did NO ONE ELSE tell you this for 3 yrs?
You watched this unfold.

It was OBVIOUS.

Mueller had to finish, reveal the emperor was naked, and THEN serious investigation of the SpyGate scandal could emerge and become public and proceed openly.

Mueller finished, Barr brought Durham out.

Did you understand at the time?
So people who insist competing SpyGate/RussiaGate teams, one under Mueller & one under Durham SHOULD HAVE BEEN working concurrently with each other out of the DOJ at the same time back in 2017, 2018 and into 2019 are wrong.
Individually, US Attorneys like Durham were quietly doing separate investigations into SpyGate leaks and other malfeasance beginning in 2017 under Sessions.
What Barr did in May 2019 was he formed all these USA's into ONE TEAM under Durham to begin working together in concert & sharing their evidence with each other.

There **was** no team of SpyGate USA's working together out of the DOJ while Mueller was investigating.
Only after Mueller had shut down were all the different USA's from different states formed into one team to begin starting to investigate TOGETHER as one unit.

They worked independently of each other before. Now, under Durham, they became a team and started sharing info.
Yeah, it sucks that it took this long.

But it's going to happen.

Serious people doing serious work for years is going to pay off.

They will have airtight cases to present in courts of law because they did this RIGHT.
