Former DNI expects more Durham indictments

 Washington Examiner:

Former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe said he anticipates “many indictments” in special counsel John Durham's investigation into the creation and use of the infamous anti-Trump dossier tied to Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign.

This prediction , shared by other allies of former President Donald Trump , follows the indictment last week against Igor Danchenko, a U.S.-based and Russian-born analyst who was the main source for British ex-spy Christopher Steele's now-discredited dossier , which was used by the FBI during its inquiry into ties between Trump's 2016 campaign and Russia.

...

“When I became the director of national intelligence, I said listen, I want to see all of the intelligence about this supposed Russian collusion, and what I found was, and as you’re finding out, is there was, of course, no Russian collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, but what I did see in intelligence documents, some of which I’ve now declassified, that there was collusion involving the Clinton campaign and Russians to create a dossier,” Ratcliffe told Fox News host Maria Bartiromo on Sunday Morning Futures.

Ratcliffe, a former Republican congressman from Texas who served as overseer of the nation's 17 intelligence agencies in the latter part of the Trump administration, announced in October that he handed over nearly 1,000 pages of materials to the Justice Department to assist with Durham's investigation into the origins and conduct of the Russia investigation.

Ratcliffe also declassified two heavily redacted, Russia-related documents, including handwritten notes from former CIA Director John Brennan showing he briefed then-President Barack Obama in 2016 on an unverified Russian intelligence report which claimed Clinton planned in July 2016 on tying then-candidate Trump to Russia’s hack of the Democratic National Committee to distract from her email scandal. The other document was a September 2016 investigative referral from the CIA to now-fired FBI Director James Comey and now-fired Deputy Assistant Director for Counterintelligence Operations Peter Strzok related to the same topic.

...

It gives you an idea of how many potential defendants there are.  Hopefully, Durham will have the time to indict the perps before the statute of limitations cuts in.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

Is the F-35 obsolete?

Headline USA: Pentagon Fires Back after Musk Calls Its Most Expensive Project ‘Obsolete’ 'Yeah, as I'm sure you can appreciate, Mr. Musk is, currently, a private citizen, I'm not going to make any comments about what a private citizen may have to say about the F-35....'   ... ... Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
