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

Posted on 10/19/2019 5:00:23 PM PDT by Bigtigermike

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.

The prosecutor conducting the review, Connecticut U.S. Attorney John Durham, has expressed his intent to interview a number of current and former intelligence officials involved in examining Russia’s effort to interfere in the 2016 presidential election, including former CIA Director John Brennan and former director of national intelligence James Clapper, Brennan 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.

With Barr’s approval, Durham has expanded his staff and the timeframe under scrutiny, according to a law enforcement official directly familiar with the matter.

Hi.

As I said on a different thread of the same...

Methinks I smell fear in the air.

Time for indictments, trails, sentences and hangings.

“Is this when things begin to change back?”

I would hope so.

Unfortunately, the only activity I’ve seen in the last week involves charges against two Rudy Giuliani associates (followed by numerous media reports speculating as to their PDJT connection), and a report on the State Dept. giving Hillary another get out if jail free card to add to her stack.

Yes, I noticed the word “mysterious” didn’t appear in the article.

NBC is now finally concerned about this:

“An expanded significantly amid concerns about whether the probe has any legal or factual basis, multiple current and former officials told NBC News”

Where were they the past 2+ years with all of the lies from Brennan, Comey and other rat liars in their Russia/Russia bs mantras.

The prosecutor conducting the review, Connecticut U.S. Attorney John Durham, has expressed his intent to interview a number of current and former intelligence officials involved in examining Russia’s effort to interfere in the 2016 presidential election, including former CIA Director John Brennan and former director of national intelligence James Clapper, Brennan told NBC News.
