Hello and welcome to the Daily Beans for Wednesday, October 19, 2022. Today, a special master, Judge Deary, has some questions about Donald's incomplete and contradictory privilege log. Bill Barr's hand-picked special counsel strikes out again, an ex-Oathkeeper who was plugged guilty, testified at trial today that he was expecting to be charged with treason and Nancy Pelosi tells MSNBC she was concerned about the secret service being a danger to Mike Pence during the Capitol attack. I'm Allison Gill and I'm Dana Goldberg.

Hi, Dana. I haven't stopped laughing since Durham. The Durham news came out. How are you? Oh, I'm good. Yeah, I had a feeling you were going to get some satisfaction out of that. Yeah, I might have a little bit of a connection with, you know, the Trump Russia investigation in the Mueller probe. Just a little bit. Yeah, and today was, you know, there might be champagne tonight. Let's just say that. You should pop some, probably, for sure.

I think the 2012 Vuv Rosé might be in order. Good choice. You know, and I know that this probably isn't as big of a news story for most folks as it might be for me the way that it hits home for those of us who follow the Mueller investigation, the Russia investigation very closely, or have good friends that participated in it. But this is a pretty great day for justice. We're going to get into all of that. Plus we have the good news at the end and it's Wednesday. We're halfway through the week. So, hooray.

Let's push the week forward. Shall we and hit the hot notes hot notes?

So about three years ago, Bill Barr, having been weaponized by Donald Trump to cast doubt on the Russia investigation and the findings, appointed one John Durham, a special counsel to investigate the Mueller investigation far and wide right wing dipshits told us to buckle our seat belts because half the beltway was going to be rolled up in this deep.

In this deep state probe and sent to guantanamo Bay, including Hillary Clinton and Obama and Pete struck Andy McCabe Jim Comey, the entirety of what they claimed were deep state operatives engaged in a political witch hunt investigating the ties that Donald's campaign had to Russia and Russian operatives.

They lied about what kicked off the Russia investigation known as crossfire hurricane trying to convince the public it was the steel dossier that did it alleging the FBI used it improperly as their sole purpose in the application for a FISA warrant on Carter page and they were doing it to spy on the Trump campaign.

Couple problems by that point Carter page had left the Trump campaign was never charged with a crime and the steel dossier was never touted by anyone as 100% accurate. In fact, John McCain had it hand delivered to the FBI because he found it not only plausible but extremely concerning.

Another problem with Trump's assertion was that the Russia probe was not started by the steel dossier it was in fact started when a drunk pop a doll pop a doll is blabbed to an Australian diplomat named Alexander downer in a London pub and the Aussies alerted our intelligence community once it became clear the emails of several democratic politicians had been hacked by Russia.

Now bar and Trump obscured the Mueller findings when they came out spun it kept it hidden for three weeks and the American media ran with their story including Kendalini and who tweeted that Donald had been exonerated even though both Mueller himself and the report explicitly stated the opposite bar got called out by judge Sullivan for inappropriately redacting the public version of the Mueller report to hide the breath and depth of Russian interference in the election.

And then they set out to investigate the origins or the oranges as Trump said by appointing John Durham to travel the world on your dime to do his best to discredit the Russian investigation.

I made a prediction Monday.

Yep. A couple days ago.

The Dan Chanko trial about the Dan Chanko trial while recording cleanup on aisle 45 the podcast I do with Andrew Torres let's listen to that clip.

I just want to mention really quickly because this is so funny during during John Durham's closing arguments the judge was like yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, can you just just wrap it up like they played the Oscar music that someone in the wings with a hawk yeah.

Yeah, because he was just going off on some you know stuff that just made no had nothing it was totally irrelevant and the judge was like yeah, yeah, come on.

So the jury is deliberating I give them I give them until Tuesday.

Close of business to to make their determination which will be yesterday if you're listening to this on Wednesday.

And so I think probably by the time this episode drops we might have an acquittal.
