Flustered Rachel Maddow defends Russia investigation as Durham probe shifts to criminal inquiry
Fox News ^ | October 24 2019 | Joseph A. Wulfsohn

MSNBC star Rachel Maddow was on the defensive Thursday night after multiple reports said the Justice Department investigation into the origins of the Russia inquiry had shifted into a criminal probe.

Maddow, who had beeen the face of MSNBC's coverage of the two-year investigation into alleged collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign, was baffled at the opening of her show Thursday night by the ongoing investigation from U.S. Attorney John Durham, whom Attorney General William Barr had appointed earlier this year.

"This is the news that honestly, we've been sort of expecting for some time or thinking that if things got really bad, it might come to this," Maddow told her viewers. "As of tonight, according to the New York Times, it has come to this."

Perhaps the above explains (1) why DOJ is now investigating its own conduct; and (2) why the investigation is now a criminal investigation?

It’ll be amusing to read some day soon that the ongoing investigation from U.S. Attorney John Durham discovered the CIA/FBI were spoonfeeding leaks to MSNBC.

Can Maddow be a criminally liable conspirator?

Maddow appears to be ignorant of the fact it is a crime to attempt to frame someone for a crime they did not commit. And in this case, the frame job was for the purpose of overturning an election, a crime in itself.

Maddow, possibly.

Yes. On election night 2016 her last words as she signed off were, "He's our president."

In this case, high-ranking FBI officials orchestrated an ambush-interview of the new president’s National Security Advisor,

not for the purpose of discovering any evidence of criminal activity—they already had tapes of all the relevant conversations about which they questioned Mr.
Flynn—

but for the purpose of trapping him into making statements they could allege as false.

From your link:

“The government still hides countless damaging texts—exculpatory and material to Mr.Flynn—that our independent work only recently uncovered. “

Git’er done!
