AG Barr's special Russia investigator obtained BlackBerrys tied to launch of FBI Russia-Trump probe
washington times ^ | 10/17/2019 | rowan scarborough

It was special investigator John Durham who acquired two BlackBerrys used by Joseph Mifsud, the Maltese professor who jumped-started the FBI’s long Russia probe into President Trump’s campaign.

Sidney Powell, attorney for retired Army Lt. General Michael Flynn, filed a court motion on Monday disclosing the phones’ existence while tying them to Western intelligence.

She told The Washington Times on Thursday that she has confirmed that it was Mr. Durham’s office who obtained them.

William Barr assigned Mr. Durham, the U.S. attorney for Connecticut, the mission of finding out the origins of the FBI’s counter-intelligence investigation known as Crossfire Hurricane. She told the Times that a “source,” whom she declined to identify, told her about the BlackBerrys.

Mr. Mifsud, a university professor and well-traveled lecturer, told George Papadopoulos, a Trump campaign adviser, in London in April 2016 that Moscow owned thousands of Hillary Clinton emails. When the news reached the FBI in July, agent Peter Strzok initiated the probe

Cool. But since we are starting the 4th quarter of the game, think we could hustle things up a little bit? McCabe was referred for arrest a year ago...nothing yet.

If it goes past next november, and the dems pull the massive fraud they surely will, this will all be over...forever. I don’t *think* they can win, but if they do, the prosecutions will be dead, and all democrats will get a full blanket pardon for those dates.

Get a move on...morons.

The thing about blackberries is the encryption. The reason they needed Clinton’s server is that they needed it to get her encrypted emails. Or they thought, before they got weiner’s Computer.

Gummint uses them because they provide secure encrypted email.

Which the corrupt politicians quickly realized gave them the ability to use non .gov email and get away with it.

What is it in this country with a Congress and DOJ ready to lynch people on suspicion of hysterical hate crime claims, but obvious fracking communist molestation gets just a shrug of “investigation”, no one listening to real men and their word, dishonoring them?

Barr and the others are starting to disgust me because you know how they would react if there was some kind of KKK molestation of a black monument.

First, I hope that Flynn is judged not guilty or better yet his case is thrown out by the judge with prejudice.

I also hope that the cell phones disclose a set of bread crumbs that lead back to Hillary and Obama, allowing their ultimate conviction of crimes.

I also hope that all the high level deep state agency officials who plotted on overthrowing the election and Trump end up in jail.

Lord hear my prayer.

These "investigations" take time, donchaknow. Lots, and lots, and lots of time. "Wheels of Justice" and all that. There are "reports" to be "declassified", and stuff. Every word and letter has to be "reviewed" by dozens of agencies. Every Deep State bureaucrat gets a veto on every page. Every Dept of Injustice Obama appointee and every Federal Bureau of Injustice agent can stop the whole shebang. Documents requested by Congress 3 years ago can simply be refused to be handed over. FBI agents can "choose" to not look at DNC computer servers....because....well, they don't want to. "Immunity deals" are given to former Obama thugs....because.....well, you'll figure it out.

It's sort of like the Theory of Evolution. You must have blind faith in our "Justice" system.

Amen. Join the club.

By the way, Barr concluded Epstein committed "suicide" and all the cameras watching his cell all miraculously failed "simultaneously."

Yup. That's our bang up Attorney General.

Thanks. Very well put. Assuming that the DOJ follows standard practice they won’t indict within 60 days of an election, so after Sept. 1, 2020. 10 months left, and as you say anything not far along will be dropped by the incoming Warren administration, should it go that way, God forbid.

Question: who has possessed them until Barr got them?
Mifsud?
Did Barr meet Mifsud? Is Mifsud alive?
Did he give new testimony to Barr and Durham?

Quite frankly I’m shocked Mifsud is still breathing.

He must have one hell of an insurance policy.

Attorney General Bill Barr may be changing for the better as he ages. He better be.... as he noted about our country recently.

"This is not decay. This is organized destruction. Secularists and their allies have marshaled all the forces of mass communication, popular culture, the entertainment industry, and academia in an unremitting assault on religion & traditional values."

I'm thinking hopefully that William Barr will be a man for the ages.

I sound like Pollyanna, I guess.

Agree. This is a bizarre story. Unsurprisingly, the Democrat media has no interest in reporting on it.
