Director of National Intelligence says he has given 'thousands of documents to John Durham'
[JustTheNews] Many of the documents "contain sources and methods that we can't make public for a number of reasons, including to jeopardize any investigation that's going there," DNI John Ratcliffe told the Washington Examiner.

Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe said Thursday said that he has given thousands of documents to U.S. Attorney John Durham, but Ratcliffe noted that much of the material includes information that cannot be publicly released.

Durham was secretly appointed by Attorney General William Barr in October as special counsel to investigate federal law enforcement abuses in pursuing the Trump-Russia collusion narrative spun from a Democrat opposition research effort during the 2016 campaign.

"Between my predecessor Richard Grenell in an acting capacity and myself, we have declassified most of the intelligence community documents that would be suitable for the public to see, that wouldn't jeopardize sources and methods," Ratcliffe told the Washington Examiner. "There are others, many many documents — I think it's been out there that I've provided literally thousands of documents to John Durham, but many of those do contain sources and methods that we can't make public for a number of reasons, including to jeopardize any investigation that's going there. So I think the level of cooperation — I've given them everything that they’ve asked for."

Ratcliffe said that wrongdoing definitely occurred and Americans are entitled to "an accounting."

"There was an abuse of power and of legal authorities, and it's not a question about whether those things took place — they did," Ratcliffe said. "I mean, there's an FBI lawyer who is going to jail for counterfeiting evidence before the FISA court. And that after all of the Obama-Biden senior national security officials said the idea of illegal spying and abuse at the FISA court is a bunch of nonsense, and now, they're sprinting the opposite direction.

"I mean, literally, every one of them — Comey, McCabe, Yates — they've all said, 'Oh my gosh, we're shocked, and had we only known.' And so, again, the American people deserve an accounting, and I've certainly provided a lot of information to the now-special counsel to provide that accounting, and I'm counting, like all Americans, on him to talk about a lot of the things that I know that I can't talk about."

#1 I can say that I don't care much any more about Barr and Durham.

#2 Barr and Durham are apparently part of the problem and not the solution.

Barr and Durham seems to be traitors to the USA and China agents.

#3 What a G-D mess Washington is; a snake pit of intrigue, back-biting, skullduggery, treason and sedition. What the hell is it going to take to clean up this mess?

Special counsel. and John Ratcliffe: China attempting blackmail and bribery against members of Congress.

Well, voting isn't working. It may take a revolution of some sort. A break-up the the US might be in store. I still maintain within 25 years there will be less than 50 stars on the Old Glory.

#5 Beyond a reasonable doubt has degenerated to the point that only real time video can be used to show guilt. In the end it is the fault of an apathetic or indoctrinated citizenry.

#6  Well, voting isn't working.

It is because the country has been voting in increasing numbers of TEA Party Republicans at all levels from local to Congress in Washington, DC, and then four years ago Donald Trump and Trumpster Republicans — who are TEA Party Republicans with attitude — that we are learning about this at all, and that anything at all is being done. Never before have we had video and truckloads of evidence, hundreds — or by now thousands — of witness affidavits, expert witnesses testifying on how the thing was done, undercover video from Project Veritas showing the vicious idiots boasting about it, top notch lawyers and at least some of the Republican Party officials and politicians pushing back against traditional and newly invented Democratic election shenanigans, senior government bureaucrats forced into retirement after public display of their misdeeds...

Over half the country understands exactly what misdeeds have been committed — not just joked about party machines and the dead voting early and often, but actually knows that for the first time there is masses of evidence proving that the accusations that have been made over the decades can now be proved.

And if, for some reason, we do not win the White House this time, the Republicans at the state and local level take the learnings from this round and immediately start clearing the battlefield for 2022. I suspect that by 2024, the only states where the Democrats will be able to steal the election will be those states they already own from the ground up.

I never thought to see the day that Ohio was declared a Republican stronghold instead of a purple state. And yet it has clearly happened, because our State Secretary of State has been cleaning up our processes and voter rolls. So if can happen to Ohio, the odds are good for many other states.

#7 because our [Ohio] State Secretary of State has been cleaning up our processes and voter rolls.

The sad part of that comment is that is sounds like it is something special the Sec. of State is doing. That should be de rigeur in each state. I suppose it just shows how broke the voting process is throughout the several states with each state running their own election gig.

#8 In the end it is the fault of an apathetic or indoctrinated citizenry.

IMHO, the Trump voters seem to be far more informed and motivated than voters on the left. Too many people are still watching MSM propaganda. More and more people are waking up to the dangers and threats to our freedoms from inside and outside the country.

Should current efforts to overturn what the majority of the public believes to be a fraudulent election, we, as a country, are in for a rough ride. We have problems of corruption in the media, big tech, parts of the judiciary and parts of Congress. The credibility of our one person, one vote is at risk.

It is now standard in Ohio, after they won a case or several brought against by Obama’s Justice Department for preparing to remove ghost voters. And one of the vote clean-up groups — possibly True the Vote — has been steadily winning lawsuits since 2014 against the most egregious states to force them to clean up their voter rolls, which is why California had well over a million fewer ghost voters on their rolls on November 3rd than they did two years ago, and soon will have removed over five million.

#10 T.W, Judicial Watch has been pushing for voter roll clean-up in various states.

#11 Thank you, JohnQC. I knew someone here would know what I meant. :-)
