The new element of U.S. Special Counsel John Durham’s latest court filing on Feb. 11 is that the team that spied on candidate Donald Trump on behalf of the DNC and Hillary Clinton, did not stop after they lost the election. They proceeded to spy on the White House, specifically hacking the servers for the Executive Office!
From Durham’s September 2021 court filing, it was known that Rodney Joffe, a tech executive, had spied on Trump’s home and office in 2016, abusing a contract that he had regarding high-level government computers and “dedicated services.” Of note, Joffe had been reporting primarily to Jake Sullivan, then handler for Hillary Clinton’s campaign, on a project to manufacture a Trump-Russia link. (The actual “narrative” they created was pathetic, as the closest they came was to connect a travel agency the Trump campaign had used to a Russian bank, Alfa—but even that “link” was phony.) Sullivan reported to Clinton in October 2016: “This could be the most direct link yet between Donald Trump and Moscow” and this is what went out on her Oct. 31, 2016 tweet that went viral: “Donald Trump has a secret server. It was set up to communicate privately with a Putin-tied Russian bank called Alfa Bank.” Clinton added, “It’s time for Trump to answer serious questions about his ties to Russia.” Perhaps, today, Sullivan should answer some serious questions about the new “Russia-about-to-invade-Ukraine” narrative.
But the team did not disband. About three weeks after Trump moved into the White House, Sullivan met, on Feb. 10, 2017, with Dan Jones, John Podesta and two Fusion GPS operatives to institutionalize the “Resistance,” forming The Democracy Integrity Project (TDIP). Funded with $7 million, presumably from Silicon Valley executives, they employed Fusion GPS, Christopher Steele and computer researchers, feeding their product to Senators Mark Warner and Ron Wyden of the Senate intelligence panel, and to select Beltway “journalists.” (Curiously, TDIP chooses to keep their donors anonymous, as their doing so evidently helps maintain the integrity of democracy. Regardless, George Soros is known to have put up no less than $1 million.) Five years later, the word “Russia” provokes the same Pavlovian salivation that “LaRouche” does, amongst consumers of Anglo-American propaganda.
