Biden’s National Security Advisor Named in Russia Investigation
There is no indication that Sullivan is a target of Durham’s investigation, only that he received information from a campaign lawyer
According to Fox News, a member of the Biden administration has now become directly involved with Special Counsel John Durham’s investigation into the Russia collusion hoax. Fox News reports, “Jake Sullivan, the Biden’s White House national security adviser, is the ‘foreign policy advisor’ referred to in the indictment of former Hillary Clinton presidential campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann, according to two well-placed sources.”
Sullivan does not appear to be a target of the investigation at this time as his role has been limited to only having received information from Sussman. “The Durham indictment lays out a scenario where an unnamed Clinton campaign lawyer, ‘exchanged emails with the Clinton Campaign’s campaign manager, communications director, and foreign policy advisor [Jake Sullivan] concerning the Russian Bank-1 allegations that Sussmann had recently shared,’ with an unnamed reporter.”
Sussman was brought to court for allegedly lying to the FBI having said that his September 2016 meeting, where he “provided evidence of a purported secret communications channel between then-candidate Donald Trump and Russia,” did not involve any work for any of his clients. Prosecutors argue that Sussmann made false statements that misled the FBI regarding the “‘political nature’ of his work.'”

US responds to Iranian drone strike that killed US contractor with “precision airstrikes”
The U.S. military launched multiple precision airstrikes in Syria, leaving at least 8 Iranians dead in response to the Iranian drone strike which left a US contractor dead and five service members injured, according to numerous reports.
The DOD said that a UAV belonging to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps crashed into a building in northeast Syria at 1:38 p.m. According to a Fox News report, the “U.S. airstrike at an arms depot in Harabesh, in the eastern city of Deir el-Zour left six Iranian-backed fighters dead. A second U.S. bombing at a post near the town of Mayadeen killed another two fighters, according to the Observatory, whose reporting relies on local Syrian contacts.”
U.S. intelligence officials stated that they were able to trace the UAV back to Iran. After President Biden received the details of the strike he gave the authorization to conduct a counter attack.
Moreover, Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III said, “at the direction of the President, I authorized U.S. Central Command forces to conduct precision airstrikes tonight in eastern Syria against facilities used by groups affiliated with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC),” he said.
“The airstrikes were conducted in response to today’s attack as well as a series of recent attacks against Coalition forces in Syria by groups affiliated with the IRGC,” he added.
General Michael Kurilla, Commander of CENTCOM (United States Central Command), also stated that the airstrikes were in response to the attack on an American contractor and wounded troops.
“This evening, we responded to an attack on our forces that killed an American contractor and wounded our troops and another American contractor by striking facilities used by groups affiliated with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps,” Krill said. “This was another in a series of attacks on our troops and partner forces.”
He shared his condolences with the families by stating that “thoughts and prayers of US Central Command are with the Family of our contractor killed and with our wounded service members and contractor.”

Sadly, none of these scoundrels will pay the price. IF Durham can convince the DOJ to charge any of them it’s an uphill battle to even get any of them to trial. Then you’ll have to overcome the crooked jury selection process and crooked judges. The accused will have to survive Arkancide attempts. Crooked prosecutors will fail to act in good faith. And if they are by some miracle found guilty and sentenced…Brandon will just pardon them anyway.
