    What will be the fate John Durham's report ?...

    Will it ever see the light of day ?
    Will it be swept under the carpet ? DOA ?
    Even if it comes out, will it contain anything worth reading ?
    My mistrust of these people has expanded to include Durham.
    Why did he not publish his report before the election ?
    And Barr in an enigma. He says a lot but seems to do little.
    Of course this assumes a Biden win (hopefully not).

      Durham's report report will be just another of the items that could possibly have helped Trump, like the Pfizer vaccine, held back until after the election when it wouldn't matter.

        Short answer: what report?

        Maybe Durham had trouble assembling some set of legal facts that wouldn't leave his otherwise solid career reputation in tatters. Some people care about stuff like that.

        As for the Pfizer vaccine. If you're in charge of those tests, and you're good at your job, the last thing you should care about is how this will impact the election. Besides, Trump at his rallies has encouraged the base to just get on with life, stop worrying about Covid. That being the case, grousing about the timing of the report is cynical.

        Moreover, that means vaccine needs to be kept dry ice cold at least. Consequently they won't see it in the rural areas, the Trump strongholds, for lack of medical grade refrigeration.

          Here we go again, the idea that scientists don't have political agendas which is an absolute crock. Some of the most opinionated people I know are scientists, and doctors. The program that that accelerated the development was a Trump administration initiative. If Pfizer makes the announcement 10 days earlier Trump can claim success. Could Pfizer have announced it a week before the election? Well we don't know that do we but you'll pardon me for being just a teeeeny bit suspicious of the timing.

          I was thinking of not replying to your last but what the heck. The people who would have been swayed to vote for Trump weren't in rural areas, they were going to vote for him anyway. Also, your claim about not having medical grade refrigeration available is, mostly, a crock. Even where it is true, I guarantee the "gubmint" can find a solution to vaccinating the vast unwashed you have such contempt for.

          I am cynical. It comes with the territory of being me. I am not one of CNNs "credulous rubes."

            Don't screw over scientists. Who knew?

              Art maybe the scientists are political, or maybe they're just trying to do a hard job.

              When you were on the job, did your politics affect how you did it? I doubt it, and expect you were a pro. That being the case, why not extend the same assumption to the Pfizer guys. That's all I'm really saying there.

                Maybe, just maybe...the world revolves outside of the American orbit. It was EU funded.

                  What was EU founded? If are referring to the money spent on trying to develop a vaccine, then what the EU spent is NOTHING compared to the US. If it wasn't for the US then there would only be the vaccine made, of course in Mother Russia, that only works if you think it does.

                    IIRC Germany funded this version of the virus shot, or a majority of the funding,



                    re the scientist etc being political, always follow the money, the results will come in a form pleasing to those that funded the research

                      I was under the impression that Germany quit funding virus's with the end of the Third Reich, you have information otherwise?
