Criminal Inquiry launched into the origins of the Trump-Russia investigation
-
25-10-2019 6:08am#1About time too as now Durham can issue subpoenas. Some had been refusing requests to be interviewed when it was just a 'review':
https://twitter.com/politico/status/1187547244943290369New York Times:
Justice Department officials have shifted an administrative review of the Russia investigation closely overseen by Attorney General William P. Barr to a criminal inquiry, according to two people familiar with the matter. The move gives the prosecutor running it, John H. Durham, the power to subpoena for witness testimony and documents, to impanel a grand jury and to file criminal charges.
Mr. Barr began the administrative review of the Russia investigation in May, saying that he had conversations with intelligence and law enforcement officials that led him to believe that the F.B.I. acted improperly, if not unlawfully.
Mr. Barr is closely managing the Durham investigation, even traveling to Italy to seek help from officials there to run down an unfounded conspiracy that is at the heart of conservatives’ attacks on the Russia investigation — that the Italian government helped set up the Trump campaign adviser who was told in 2016 that the Russians had damaging information that could hurt Clinton’s campaign.
Mr. Durham has also asked whether C.I.A. officials might have somehow tricked the F.B.I. into opening the Russia investigation.
Mr. Durham has indicated he wants to interview former officials who ran the C.I.A. in 2016 but has yet to question either Mr. Brennan or James R. Clapper Jr., the former director of national intelligence. Mr. Trump has repeatedly attacked them as part of a vast conspiracy by the so-called deep state to stop him from winning the presidency.
Some C.I.A. officials have retained criminal lawyers in anticipation of being interviewed.
Although there is of course issues with the FBI lying (by omission) to the FISA court (in order to obtain a warrant to spy on the Trump campaign) Brennan was the main culprit, even worse than Comey, as he clearly went out of his way to ensure Hillary was elected and then lied to congress about the Steele dossier and what he knew of it and more importantly, when he knew of it. Clapper recently said they were all just doing what Obama told them to do, so he may interviewed at some point, hope so, as his administration was rotten to the core it would seem given the behavior of so many of it's holdovers who just can't seem to stand that after eight years of having a liberal at the helm, Donald Trump strolled in and demanded things be done slightly differently.
One thing though: I hope they get full due process and republicans treat democrats 100% fairly throughout, if that is, hearings are to follow either of the investigations.
Here's the view from both sides tonight, first Fox:
And CNN (who of course are calling it a "right wing fantasy" and a "conspiracy theory"):

Did you read my effing post and who I was talking to? Not everything is about you, Pete.
Apologies, I was wearing a towel.Flynn pled guilty to criminal charges...
He pled guilty because of the case they had built against him but part of that (from what is alleged now) is how they framed him.
There were financial factors also ...

Yeah, I'd say he was really shocked at getting boos in DC when the vote there for Hillary was 90% to his 4.Trump has torn your legal system apart by stacking the deck.
You do realise that the FBI leaked information to the media and stacked the deck in favour of Hillary by doing so, right? And that's the tip of the iceberg by the way.Sure it's in your favour but a rigged game does not benefit justice..
You clearly have no idea what the hell you are talking about.
It's exactly BECAUSE a rigged game does not benefit justice that the Durham-Barr investigation is underway. You do realise that there is a lot of evidence to show that the FBI was not honest with the FISA courts:The email exchanges show the FBI was aware — before it secured the now-infamous warrant — that there were intelligence community concerns about the reliability of the main evidence used to support it: the Christopher Steele dossier.
The exchanges also indicate FBI officials were aware that Steele, the former MI6 British intelligence operative then working as a confidential human source for the bureau, had contacts with news media reporters before the FISA warrant was secured.
The FBI fired Steele on Nov. 1, 2016 — two weeks after securing the warrant — on the grounds that he had unauthorized contacts with the news media.
But the FBI withheld from the American public and Congress, until months later, that Steele had been paid to find his dirt on Trump by a firm doing political opposition research for the Democratic Party and for Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, and that Steele himself harbored hatred for Trump.
And that's before we get to the fact the court wasn't informed the DNC funded the dossier, let alone everything surrounding Brennan's role and how he has contradicted himself on important issues.
Then there's Mifsud of course .. but that's all a conspiracy theory, right?
Here's what Barr had to say a few hours ago:

So he wouldn't have had a fit back at the WH? Of course he did.

Trump still has stacked the deck putting judges in place the bar association deem unqualified. One new Judge has never tried a case

This is a costly attempt to cover the impeachment inquiry and Barr has zero credibility.0 -
