(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.

Toobin calling it a right-wing conspiracy fantasy is laughable.
The truth is the people now in justice are hopefully trying to focus and destroy the Coup Demons.
The sources for this story are not identified according to John Bachelor of WABC New Yorks Radio The John Bachelor Show. According to Bachelor, the sources are likely anonymous attorneys who are representing the suspects , and who want to rally the leftist base to create public opposition.
In short, they are desperate.
well it’s about time
Schiff knew this was coming and has been trying to immunize as many of the guilty as possible by calling them whistelblowers.
I have little faith that anything will happen to the deep state conspiracy actors. They will get away with it just like Lois Lerner did at the IRS. They will all get cushy retirements.
