What new probe?!

They already spent a lot of time and money and found nothing.

Now they want to do it again?

So at the time of his ‘appointment’ he was already in 4th gear and shifting into overdrive?

That’s likely to leave quite a wake in the Swamp. Hahahaha.

(It must suck to be a swamp critter these days)

The Courant and other news organizations reported Monday that Attorney General William Barr assigned Durham to examine the circumstances under which the FBI opened a disputed counterintelligence investigation into possible ties between President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign and efforts directed from Russia to interfere with the U.S. election.

The Barr assignment comes months after Durham began investigating whether laws were broken by politically-motivated leaks of evidence and the identities of grand jury witnesses and targets

This one is on our side.

From the article:

U.S. Attorney John H. Durham, who is examining the origins and propriety of the FBI’s Russia inquiry, has been working in Washington for months, looking into a related matter and quietly building a team of investigators, people familiar with the matters said.

Who charged Dunham to check out Weasel Baker?

What are the terms of that investigation?

When did it commence?

“Durham is said by associates to have been at work as early as early last summer and was recruiting investigators months before Barr became Attorney General in January. “

Gosh. What AG could possibly have put Durham to work early last summer?

“When did it commence?”

When James Baker was testifying before a Congressional committee last October his lawyer objected to a line of questions.

Baker’s lawyer told the committee that he had advised Baker not to answer because there was an ongoing DOJ investigation of the matter. And when asked who was leading the investigation the lawyer said “US Attorney John Durham”

Just guessing, but Barr seems to be disappointed with Huber, pushing him aside and replacing with Durham

Egg Zackery.

Don't say it, though. The natives will go berserk.

Sessions. Maybe just maybe Rosenstein. Rosey is one slippery dude. How do you survive a failed coup? Double cross those who plotted the coup in the first place. Rosey had to be the first to see that the rebellion was failing and immediately changed sides. Very Machivellian.

Interesting information. I had questioned where the DOJ had much power to investigate the CIA and this article also answered that question...

Close. Very close. Team Trump likes Sun Tzu, and that means that if you believed the surface soap opera you might have been getting fooled. It pays to watch what Trump does as opposed to what he says or tweets. Trump can fire any executive branch appointee at will. And that includes any AGs that he bitched about while letting them continue in their jobs.

My personal theory is that The Donald flipped [RR] when he took him for a ride on Air Force One (to Florida, I think).

Remember that? And The Donald got off the plane and said what an awesome dude the weasel was?

In my minds eye, The Donald slid a folder across the table to [RR] just like they do in the movies. [RR] looked at it, gulped, and instantly become another Trump property.

One whose appointments for such investigations were ineffective and thus deserved to be fired?

They obviously have no fear of criminal jeopardy.
