Has the White House tainted Barr's investigation of the Russia probe?
CNN Fake News ^ | 18 October 2019 | Evan Perez and Katelyn Polantz

The Justice Department's investigation into the origins of the Russia election interference probe keeps getting unwanted assists from the White House, raising questions of how the department will be able to defend the legitimacy of any of its eventual findings.

From the start, the probe has been driven by Attorney General William Barr's suspicions -- critics call them conspiracy theories -- that some of the officials overseeing the counterintelligence investigation of the 2016 Trump campaign may have acted improperly. His embrace of these theories aligns with President Donald Trump's chief grievance that he was the victim of a "deep state" spy operation that has clouded his presidency. And some steps taken already point to the investigation being anything but a typical law enforcement inquiry.

Notwithstanding that released Emails from many of the officials overseeing the counterintelligence investigation of the 2016 Trump campaign show that they acted improperly. The only way that CNN could see that is looking through Zucker-colored glasses.

What’s this doing on CNN? They could have just gone on not reporting this information to their viewers like they have been for the last 3 years.

The only thing ‘tainted’ is Brennen/Clapper/Deep State.

Loons at CNN looking to discredit the findings of the investigation.

It is for this reason the Liberals are going so nuts with their baseless accusations against Trump. They will claim any charges against one of their own are nothing but political pay back.

Lolol!! But, the “legitimacy” of NaN and Schiff’s unethical, private *impeachment* hearings are a-okay w/FakeNewsCNN.

Every loser at that network I just put Goebbels on the end of their names because every last one of them is a propagandist period from Fredo Cuomo-Goebbels to Jake Tapper-Goebbels!

Those texts and e-mails don’t really exist per the media - their existence is just a “Fox News conspiracy” if you recall from Chuck Todd shouting down Senator Ron Johnson when he brought them up on Meet The Press.

Is there a Barr investigation of the Russia Probe. It seems to be stretching into a Mueller-like timetable. Maybe I'm just confusing it with the illusive IG Report(s).

I keep waiting for a deep-stater to receive a prison sentence. I get older by the day.

Just like Hillary’s email investigations were handled by top DOJ and FIB officials, thereby not handled by the typical rank and file and she was cleared of wrong doing. But now seeing that the Russia probe is handled by top level officials brings out criticism from the media and democrats. Media and Dems are so two facedbits unbelievable. Screw you CNN

I must have missed the statute that spun the White House out of the Executive branch.

In what sane a just country can an aggrieved party not espouse his complaint. And treason against the head of state is the highest of high crimes in the temporal world.

Good grief. CNN isn’t even trying to cover up their democrat anti-Trump bias. Zucker is channeling Gruber.

No.

Has CNN sacrificed any credibility as serious source of news given the recent Project Veritis videos released this week.

Yes.
