U.S. Attorney John Durham's investigation into the origins of the FBI's 2016 Russia probe has expanded based on new evidence uncovered during a recent trip to Rome with Attorney General Bill Barr, sources told Fox News on Tuesday.
The sources said Durham was "very interested" to question former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and former CIA Director John Brennan, an anti-Trump critic who recently dismissed the idea.
The two Obama administration officials were at the helm when the unverified and largely discredited Steele dossier, written by British ex-spy Christopher Steele and funded by the Hillary Clinton campaign and Democratic National Committee, was used to justify a secret surveillance warrant against former Trump adviser Carter Page.
In Italy, Barr reportedly told embassy officials he "needed a conference room to meet high-level Italian security agents where he could be sure no one was listening in."
A source in the Italian Ministry of Justice told The Daily Beast earlier this month that Barr and Durham were played a taped deposition made by Joseph Mifsud, the professor who allegedly told ex-Trump aide George Papadopoulos that the Russians had "dirt" on Hillary Clinton. Mifsud reportedly was explaining to authorities in the deposition why people would want to harm him, and why he needed police protection.
Papadopoulos has suggested he was connected with Mifsud as part of a setup orchestrated by intelligence agencies.

Zzzzzzzz zzzzzzzz zzzzzzzz
That $10k ‘gift’ in Israel will also come up, which was supposed to ‘trap’ Papadopoulos. The US Customs folks had some hint that he’d have the cash on him when he flew back into the US. It would be curious to know if the CIA arranged that ‘gift’ and how they conveyed this over to the Customs folks.
At every twist and turn....there’s some path that leads back to CIA leadership.
Most likely it’s because they lied.
You know this story has traction......CNN is reporting it as a straight news story, Cooper had a real stone face when talking about it.
Let me be the first to say .... I don’t want to see Clapper and Brennan assigned to a “Country Club” federal prison. I want them to do HARD time amongst the “common” criminals in “regular” prisons. Both are owed some extrajudicial punishment of a painful and humiliating kind.
Leak, leak, leak. Just like the Schiffhead and the Demonicrats.
Set a time at which AG Barr and Durham either hand out indictments and arrest warrants, or else they hand in their resignations.
New evidence Babalouie? You mean the evidence we all new existed in early 2017?
Absolutely beautiful!!!
“Let me be the first to say .... I don’t want to see Clapper and Brennan assigned to a “Country Club” federal prison. “
You’re likely get your wish. I would be shocked if any of these schmucks do any time.
YUP!....Im thinking Brennan is saying to himself now.....why didnt I offer a million...Im such a cheap SOB!...
and fat lop eared Clapper is saying...What?..Who?...I never even got paid! ..
I think Trump called it....lol.....Brennan is the brains....Clapper is too Dumb to know the difference!..
should be fun watching them spar “under oath”...lol
lol
And revoke their security clearances!
Yep, we knew this two years ago........
No surprise attacks like roger stone, lets go slowly to give those who are in the line a fire a chance to clean up the murder scene
What was Christopher Steele doing in Italy in 2016...
Inquiring minds want to know.
They need to be Manaforted.
Any chance that the whinebags will STFU for awhile?
That’s not how this works.
AG Barr And US Attorney Durham are far ahead of what you’re hearing. This story was gift wrapped and handed to the media exactly how and when they wanted it to be.
They’re not stupid. They already have the evidence. They already know the answer to every single question they plan to ask.
This is the best part. Nervous criminals do and say really stupid things. Cardinal Comey has been doing Barr’s job for him for some time now.
The other issue is being cautious not to do or say anything that defense lawyers can successfully argue prejudiced future jurors and win mistrials.
