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.
(now that we know that the ONLY PURPOSE of the media, at this point, is to take out Trump, I’ll have some fun pointing out their methods)
“CONTROVERSIAL review”
“amid CONCERNS about whether the probe has any legal or factual basis”
“And there is TENSION”
“MORPHED into one (criminal investigation).”
“INAPPROPRIATE contacts between Trump aides and Russians.”
“PLOT by members of the Obama Administration”
“in what THEY CALL the “Deep State,” to undermine Trump.”
These bureaucratic endeavors are like a gas in a void. It expands to fill the container.
We'll lucky if we ever see the end of this investigation.
What?!? AG Barr still hasn’t yet found anyone to indict?!? If he hasn’t indicted the obvious traitors yet, he’s never going to indict anyone ever, just study the whole thing to death.
“Barr. The guy who looks and looks and looks into things. Endlessly and permanently, forever. Great gig. You don’t have to actually produce anything...”
Actually he ‘produced’ these articles, which makes clear that Durham is scaring the crap out of them. This is NEW TERRITORY for the Deep State as they’ve never had to deal with fear of criminal prosecution, at least as far as I can remember.
This isn't TV or a movie. It's reality, lives and our form of government are at stake, and if the courts and the US marshals are sufficient to take down the conspiracy (which I doubt), Barr and Durham need to finish their work, largely in secret.
“Controversial” my eye.
Brennan is the guy behind the whole Russian Hoax. “Adm. Mc Raven” was just a dumb pawn that Brennan used.
Well as long as you can say you are expanding it you never have to actually reach any kind of conclusion do you.
Accessories to treason can hang too!
Bingo! You are correct. Mifsud’s devices will likely have not only exculpatory evidence for Flynn, but also smoking gun evidence about the coup plot and plotters.
I am about half way through Gregg Jarrett’s excellent best seller, “Witch Hunt” and the level of corruption between Obama, Brennan, Clapper, Comey, McCabe, Ohrs, Mueller, Clinton, GPS Fusion, Steele, Simpson, Reid, Schiff, and the DNC is so vast that it would take the entire DOJ staff to bring this crime of the century to trial. Even if they do put it together every major media outlet was a co-conspirator in this crime and will put all its own vast resources into covering it up for eternity.
I admire what AG Barr, IG Horowitz, and John Durham are attempting to do but they are like the defenders of the Alamo against the forces of Santa Ana when it comes to defending the Constitution against this level of corruption. Only the people can end this coup with an overwhelming victory for President Trump, the retaking of the House by the GOP, and a greater filibuster margin in the Senate in 2020. Without this the political crime of the century will be swept under the rug of history by the media.
2019: "Why is Trump looking into the origins of why Russia colluded with him? Why can't he just sit there and get smeared like all Republicans do? Waaaa!"
Really? Where were theses "multiple current and former officials" during the Mueller witch hunt?
"Justice Department officials have said that Durham has found something significant, and that critics should be careful"
Because, if handled improperly, they could go to jail even if they did nothing wrong.
If you were involved, did nothing wrong, and saw all this controversy wouldn't you lawyer up?
(I'm not defending anyone, just explaining their behavior.)
The only sentence in the article that rings with truth...
“Justice Department officials have said that Durham has found something significant, and that critics should be careful.”
“Expanded” is another way of saying it will be dragged on indefinitely until it fizzles out and no one cares anymore. No indictments.

More delays. This is exactly why the GOP does not want POTUS to have a loyal and supportive DNI.
Why hire lawyers if you did nothing wrong and all you have to do is forthcoming and tell the truth? Fear of entrapment?
Run out the clock to November 2020. Gum up the works and all that.
