Well, this is a development —not a shocking one, but a development all the same.
Special counsel John Durham’s investigation continues to drop bombshells. First, we learned that the 2016 Clinton campaign paid a tech firm to infiltrate servers in Trump Tower and later to monitor Trump and associates in the White House. This was supposed to create a viable Russiagate narrative that Clinton could —and did — roll out in the press (validity aside).
“According to Durham, Neustar’s chief technology officer, Rodney Joffe, accessed sensitive web traffic data that the company maintained on behalf of the White House executive office in order to collect ‘derogatory’ information about Donald Trump. Joffe allegedly provided the information to Hillary Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann, who in turn gave it to the CIA during a meeting in February 2017. Durham charged Sussmann in September with lying to the FBI about his investigation of Trump,” the Washington Free Beacon reports.
But would you believe the Biden campaign hired the same firm, as well?
According to the WFB, the Biden campaign paid $20,000 dollars to Neustar Information Services (aka the Hillary’s tech firm) in 2020 for “accounting and compliance work,” Federal Election Commission records show.
So, that 20K raises a few questions —mainly, did Biden continue to surveil Trump, collecting oppo for the 2020 election? Did Neustar drop a referral bonus on Hillary for bringing in a friend? Jokes aside, the fact is we don’t know exactly what Neustar did for Biden —and that’s the scary bit.
“The Biden and Clinton campaigns are the only two presidential committees to have ever paid Neustar, according to Federal Election Commission records. Biden’s campaign paid Neustar $18,819 on Sept. 29, 2020, the records show. The Clinton campaign paid the firm $3,000 in May 2015 for mobile phone services. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee paid $3,000 to Neustar in 2017. Neustar executives and staffers contributed $17,906 to Biden’s campaign, FEC records show,” according to WFB.
“This is a scandal far greater in scope and magnitude than Watergate and those who were involved in and knew about this spying operation should be subject to criminal prosecution,” Trump said.
And he’s right.
But a cursory check of all mainstream media outlets shows very few reporters eager to tackle this story. CNN is talking about gas prices and the impact of 3G technology disappearing; MSNBC is (predictably) calling the Durham report a conspiracy (despite Democrats controlling everything) and going after Tucker Carlson for supporting Canadian truckers.
So where does that leave us? Who will hold Clinton accountable?
