(CNN)Attorney General William Barr's probe into the intelligence and origins of the 2016 Trump-Russia investigation is now a criminal investigation, according to a person familiar with the matter.
The so-called investigation of the investigators is led by John Durham, a Connecticut-based federal prosecutor, who so far has conducted some interviews but also has run into some obstacles from witnesses who have declined voluntary interviews, CNN reported last week.
The move to make it a criminal inquiry was always anticipated, and it allows Durham to use subpoenas to compel testimony and comes as President Donald Trump faces an onslaught of negative headlines stemming from the House impeachment inquiry into his dealings with Ukraine. It's not clear what, if any, part of the Trump-Russia investigation is a target of Durham's criminal probe.
The New York Times was first to report on the new stage of the investigation.
The investigation has been driven by Barr's suspicions that some of the officials overseeing the counterintelligence probe of the 2016 Trump campaign may have acted improperly. Barr's embrace of these theories aligns with Trump's chief grievance that he was the victim of a "deep state" spy operation that has clouded his presidency.

They’ll still be calling it a conspiracy theory when people are serving prison time over it.
“It’s not clear what, if any, part of the Trump-Russia investigation is a target of Durham’s criminal probe.”
“They’ll still be calling it a conspiracy theory when people are serving prison time over it.”
Imagine if CNN staff were to be indicted as participants of the conspiracy.
Wouldn’t that be somethng?
Would they report it?
“according to a person familiar with the matter.” Another “anonymous” source, Commie New Network? Name him!
CNN calls it a so-called investigation.
The howling from twitter tonight from the media and leftists tells you they are extremely frightened to their core. This is it folks!!! It’s not over yet until we see people hauled in handcuffs but the fat lady is at least in the building and tuning up
Well said. Clapper, for one, is scared crapperless.
Clapper tried to hide it but it’s easy to see that he’s scared crapperless.
Thanks for posting the video.
Heh. Looked like Clapper was soiling himself while on live TV
“The so-called investigation”
FU CNN!!
Those who scream the loudest...! Bring it, Mr. Barr!
Think about this for a second.
They’re quoting the NYT for this story, and there’s no way in hell AG Barr leaked it to that rag. They didn’t get this from DOJ, they got it from someone who’s already been served a grand jury subpoena.
Bank on it.
