AG Barr expands controversial review into origin of Russia investigation
NBC ^

Posted on 10/19/2019 7:40:57 AM PDT by janetjanet998

A review launched by Attorney General William Barr into the origins of the Russia investigation has expanded significantly amid concerns about whether the probe has any legal or factual basis, multiple current and former officials told NBC News.

Durham has also requested to talk to CIA analysts involved in the intelligence assessment of Russia’s activities, prompting some of them to hire lawyers, according to three former CIA officials familiar with the matter. And there is tension between the CIA and the Justice Department over what classified documents Durham can examine, two people familiar with the matter said.

Why is it controversial? I thought they wanted to find out who caused all the Russia collusion? Isn’t that what Mueller spent 2 years looking for?

No bias there on the part of NBC.

NBC implies Barr is out of control.

No, pee-cock network, the Obama’s DOJ/FBI was out of control!

Note the word “controversial” in the headline. There is nothing controversial about what Mr. Barr is doing. This is just more fake news.

little clues here and there:

Although the probe did not begin as a criminal investigation, Justice Department officials won’t comment on whether it has morphed into one.

whether the probe has any legal or factual basis,
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Laws were broken, of course it has legal and factual basis, the Ministry of Propaganda would rather you did not know that.

Controversial? They never said that about Mueller.

Oh and if they did nothing wrong why are they hiring lawyers?

NBC actually acknowledging this investigation exists? Describing it as controversial? They are getting scared. Hey NBC if Misfud was a Russian spy then Western intel has been compromised. Big story if true. If Misfud is a western spy then Russian collusion is a hoax and a set-up. Big story if true. Maybe even a Pulitzer for covering either path. Why not ask your “sources” to clarify? What kind of reporters are you?

Why yes I suppose an investigation about a corrupt neo fascist police state attempt to spy on a political opponent is “controversial” to the guilty.

I find it interesting that both the New York Times and NBC both have in depth stories about Durham this morning

...prompting some of them to hire lawyers

Why hire lawyers if you did nothing wrong and all you have to do is forthcoming and tell the truth? Fear of entrapment? The investigators are not the liberal kind who will entrap even a baby into a lie; these investigators are out to get the REAL truth, and the truth is easier to get at if all parties are willing to get at the facts.

Why is it controversial?


Because it is looking into actions of the Obama administration, which as we have been repeatedly told was the “cleanest, most scandal-free administration in the history of mankind”. So there can’t be any criminal activity to find—a witch hunt if you will.

As I noted on this recently posted article,

Review of Russia Inquiry Grows as F.B.I. Witnesses Are Questioned

The mainstream media is now coordinating their narrative; that the Durham/Barr investigations are nothing more than Trump seeking revenge on his political enemies.

Make no mistake. This is a COORDINATED hit-job.

I think that’s what bar is looking into...if the Obama investigation of Trump had any legal or factual basis.

Hint: It did not. Unless you consider spying on the other team legal.

It’s just like “partisan.” Only applies to Republicans.
