Excellent.

I hope he is ready to indict and prosecute those responsible.

“Durham, known as a “hard-charging, bulldog” prosecutor, according to a source, will focus on the period before Nov. 7, 2016—including the use and assignments of FBI informants, as well as alleged improper issuance of Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrants. Durham was asked to help Barr to “ensure that intelligence collection activities by the U.S. Government related to the Trump 2016 Presidential Campaign were lawful and appropriate.”

You don't bring in a US Attorney to investigate. You bring in a US Attorney to prosecute.

If Durham didn't think crimes had been committed he would have refused the job from Barr. BUT, if Durham thinks the law has been broken, he's a bulldog about getting to the roots of it.

AND he will leave no stone unturned.

In 1999 AG Janet Reno appointed Durham to investigate law enforcement corruption in Boston, and under AG Eric Holder Durham was selected to investigate matters relating to the destruction of videotapes by the CIA and treatment of detainees by the CIA.

Reno and Holder chose Durham to lead investigations.

Yep, that makes Durham the perfect guy to proclaim everything was on the up and up and bury it for the Deep State’s benefit. Another head fake like Horowitz and Huber.

Twitter says Durham has been on the case since October of 2018. His name came up in a January House hearing.

This could get good faster than we thought!

If Durham doesn’t find at least all the prima facie crimes that were done in our faces, then we can safely consider him part of the coup conspiracy and another traitor deserving execution.

As with Barr, he deserves the benefit of the doubt. Perhaps as with Barr, he will surprise us all and turn out to be the real deal.

“They are going to have to work fast in order to get this done before 2020.”

They will get a thorough completed investigation handed to them with a bow on it, from the DoJ IG.

Although the IG report is not yet public, the conclusions and evidence have probably already been made available to the prosecutor. That is how it is supposed to work - credible indications of a crime should be referred to prosecutors when detected by the IG, not after final reports are issued.

Doesn't matter if they go to prison. It really doesn't. As much as you and I would like to see Hillary or Comey, Clapper, Brennan perp walked into Federal prison, we might see one or two of them serve some time, but not the main players

What matters is exposing them. ALL of them, however far up the food chain it went.

Any exposure should disgust Dem voters to the fact that parts of their party is willing to perform criminal acts to further their grab for power. They will stay home rather than vote.

The goal is control of the House and and Senate in 2020.

I agree on both points.

Will the lefties be more angry because:
A. This is being investigated, or
B. It began without them being notified?

The world wonders.

I'll go make some popcorn...

I think Barr realizes he has stirred up a hornet’s nest and this guy is the way out. Put a “hard nosed” prosecutor on it and let him launder everything and let things die and move on.

Nothing significant nor meaningful as to any criminal actions will come from his, Huber’s, or Horowitz’s work. We’re being gamed just as we were in the past two years.

What this investigation needs is a very high level flip. Someone high enough to know exactly what happened, and who did what.

Paging Mr. Rod Rosenstein.
