WASHINGTON — For more than two years, President Trump has repeatedly attacked the Russia investigation, portraying it as a hoax and illegal even months after the special counsel closed it. Now, Mr. Trump’s own Justice Department has opened a criminal investigation into how it all began.
Justice Department officials have shifted an administrative review of the Russia investigation closely overseen by Attorney General William P. Barr to a criminal inquiry, according to two people familiar with the matter. The move gives the prosecutor running it, John H. Durham, the power to subpoena for witness testimony and documents, to impanel a grand jury and to file criminal charges.
The opening of a criminal investigation is likely to raise alarms that Mr. Trump is using the Justice Department to go after his perceived enemies.

The Storm has arrived.
Accusing Trump of doing what his adversaries are doing.
Trump’s “perceived enemies” are traitors using government in an illegal manner.
We have investigated ourselves thoroughly and have found ourselves to be completely innocent.
PAIN
The move is likely to open the attorney general to accusations that he is trying to deliver a political victory for President Trump.

Who didn’t see that coming?
“... is likely to raise alarms that Mr. Trump is using the Justice Department to go after his perceived enemies.”
And what does anyone think the DOJ has been doing to Trump for the past three years and more?
msnbc is busy spinning it now.
No, not their own investigation.
It’s Barr investigating Comey-Lynch-Obama.
About damn time but I will believe it when I see Clinton, Obama, Brennan, Comey, Clapper, and the rest of the a-holes in prison stripes
2019: "Why is Trump trying to get to the bottom of Russiagate?"
The Grim Reaper cometh soon for the deep state criminals.
Wait till they find out how apolitical Barr and Durham are.
They have to continue carrying the water until all of this is fully exposed because they (media) are complicit in all of this. So until then it will be ‘damn the torpedos’
Crack open this rotten system and kick the communist scum to the curb, anything less and we lose the country.
Why now?
“Who didn’t see that coming?”
This is why it has been so long coming. Evidence has to be incontrovertible, and even then the media will do it’s best to spin it as Trump being a dictator. This is the likely outcome. Then Antifa will get more uppity, and what’s left of the media exalt them as patriots or freedom fighters or some such nonsense. It’s going to get real noisy, real quick.
This is old news. NYT story is a trigger to open the outrage gates by the usual suspects.
“We didn’t do nuthin’!”
The NYTmes’ take LOL!
