New Russiagate Prober Has Haunted FBI for Months
Real Clear Investigations ^ | 5/14/2019 | Eric Felten

John Durham, the prosecutor tapped by Attorney General William Barr to investigate how Trump-Russia allegations emerged and spread within federal law enforcement, has already been looking into whether the FBI’s former top lawyer, James Baker, illegally leaked to reporters.

In fact, the U.S. attorney from Connecticut appears to have begun that work more than seven months ago, to judge from an underreported transcript of an October congressional interview with Baker. The Baker interview, at which Durham was not present, suggests that the prosecutor nevertheless has some people very worried.

Seems this may be a "wide ranging" investigation. One can only hope.

The only problem with these “wide-ranging” DC investigations is that they never end.

Howie Carr is probably the best guy to listen to about this fellow.

“Interesting In fact, the U.S. attorney from Connecticut appears to have begun that work more than seven months ago,...”

Interesting indeed as this investigation of note would have started during the Sessions, Rosenstein era.

Will Durham be like Huber, who was last seen on a milk carton?

Huber was assigned to research what has already been done and then offer recommendations as to what, if anything, still needs to be done.

He wasn’t authorized to do any additional investigation.

We were mislead by the former AG.

All they have to do is drag this dead carcass to January 20, 2021, then they can all breath easy again. If they win.

Some lady lawyer on Lou Dobbs tonight said that she heard that that is exactly what Durham will not do: Durham is not authorized to do any additional investigation.

Harmeet K. Dhillon, on Lou Dobbs, said Durham is tasked with the same.

I hope that is not true. She seems to have a flakey backround, so maybe it's fake news.

"She has also been heavily criticized by Republican activists for her ties to American Civil Liberties Union, as well as her past contributions to the political campaigning of Kamala Harris.[19]" = Wiki

‘The only problem with these “wide-ranging” DC investigations is that they never end.’

I remember in 1990s then-AG Janet Reno couldn’t answer many questions put to her by the Republican house, due to ongoing investigations.

I wonder if she’s finished investigating them yet?

It will be a great day in America if we shoot down this plot and Comey, Halper, and Brennan and other go to prison.
