Hm, I thought this last IG report was going to be the one that had the Deep State perp-walked to Guantanamo and The Hague. Now it's the next one? Then the next one?

  I never said anything like "the Deep State perp-walked to Guantanamo and The Hague", nor did anyone on this discussion. Maybe there is a right-win conspiracy theory about that, but it has nothing to do with the discussion here. FBI / DOJ violation of the protocol in secret courts is really a serious matter in a democratic society.

    How is your insistence that “something even worse will be revealed” not a conspiracy theory? It’s almost literally the definition!

      It is not "a conspiracy theory", it is a logical interpretation of Durham's statement. DOJ's internal investigation already showed lots of violation of its protocol. Durham made clear his investigation is not limited to within the DOJ/FBI, of course he found more damning evidence that's why he made this statement. Otherwise how would you logically interpret? Investigation outside of DOJ/FBI makes DOJ/FBI look better? "literally the definition"? You have a weird definition of "conspiracy theory". Every interpretation does not fit with your narrative is a conspiracy theory?

      It was implied by the linked Attorney statement, not OP's speculation.

Durham is known as someone who never makes public statements. Over the decades, he has never made a public statement. So for him to come out and make this statement means he’s confident he has something which Horowitz didn’t. People need to realize Horowitz didn’t have much power- he couldn’t compel testimony, couldn’t subpoena people, he could only look at FBI and not other agencies, and he had to take people’s word - so if someone said they didn’t have a bias, he had to take their word. Durham on the other hand has all those powers and he can look at all agencies and also international intelligence (which he points out in his statement). Also Durham is known as someone who’s gone after people from both parties so this isn’t something about political affiliation.
