With the appointment of the U.S. attorney for Connecticut to investigate the origins of the probe into specious allegations of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, a troika is now in place to get to the bottom of the biggest political scandal in American history: the weaponization of the federal government's law enforcement and Intelligence Community to sabotage a rival presidential campaign. It is already public knowledge that the U.S. attorney for Utah, John Huber, was appointed by former A.G. Sessions to investigate the Clinton Foundation and surveillance abuses. Inspector General Michael Horowitz is said to be investigating how the FBI handled the Steele dossier and Steele himself, as well as Stefan Halper, a CIA and FBI asset who attempted to lure George Papadopoulos into incriminating the Trump campaign by planting intelligence with him.

The appointment of Durham was not publicly announced, but reporters from outlets such as Fox News, USA Today, and the New York Times were quietly informed of the move.

So who is John Dunham, and why was he appointed?

Fox News says, "Durham is known as a 'hard-charging, bulldog' prosecutor, Fox News is told."

In addition, Fox tells us:

After seeing a photo of Durham, The character James A Wells, Asst. AG played by Wilfred Brimley in Absence of Malice comes to mind.

He’s got that same look in his eyes.

As a 31 year resident of CT, let me assure you this is the worst case scenario, plus 1, for any government employee that has done any felony. He’s the DC “go-to” terminator. He doesn’t sleep, he doesn’t quit, there is no stopping him once he’s ranged up his target.

Bulldogs often don’t release their prey until

1) it’s dead or
2) they find something even MORE amusing

I’ll take either curtain right now

Is John Huber of Utah the same person mentioned as a bulldog? I thought it was John Durham of Connecticut.

Tucker Carlson on FOX had Howie Carr on tonight and Howie said Durham tackled the Boston FBI 20 years ago and got innocent people released from prison, that the FBI wound not help out.

Howie says Durham is well suited to investigate the FBI and other Govt. agencies. - Tom

If there were innocent people in prison, and the FBI knew it, and did not exonerate them, the only reason I can think of they did not, is self interest, or else they were bad people and the FBI knew they were guilty of something, so they just let them rot.

Very encouraging. Thank God Sessions is gone. Anyone see the difference here?

=======================================================

"John Huber was first nominated for the position by President Barack Obama in February 2015.[2] Huber offered his resignation in March 2017 at the request of the Trump administration.[3] However, United States Attorney General Jeff Sessions subsequently appointed Huber as interim U.S. Attorney under the Federal Vacancies Reform Act.[4]"

"John Henry Durham (born 1950)[2][3] is the United States Attorney for the District of Connecticut. He is best known for leading an inquiry into allegations that FBI agents and Boston police had ties with the mob[4] and his appointment as special prosecutor regarding the 2005 CIA interrogation tapes destruction.[2] On November 1, 2017, he was nominated by President Donald Trump to be Connecticut's next U.S. Attorney."

FRI agent John Connolly who was a friend of gangster Whitey Bulger who did the murders, helped frame 4 people for the murders.

Two died in prison and Durham helped free the other two and convict the FBI agent who went to jail.
The family lawsuits of the innocent men cost us taxpayers 100 million dollars. - Tom

I did a quick search to post on another thread on this subject and found these two articles claiming the Horowitz and Huber investigations were merely phony fronts to cover for the wrongdoing in the FBI and DOJ.

So far Huber has produced absolutely NOTHING.

Horowitz was hamstrung by a Catch-22 which prevented him from doing anything Mueller was investigating. Horowitz has produced NOTHING, as well.

Sounds like we've been conned by the DOJ. All Jeff Sessions' doing.

After 18 Months Huber Has Produced Nothing At All

Deep State Cons Constructed by the DOJ
