Reps. Jerrold Nadler and Adam B. Schiff late Thursday condemned the Justice Department for transforming its Russian probe review into a criminal investigation.
In a joint statement, Mr. Nadler of New York and Mr. Schiff of California, both Democrats and chairmen of the Judicial Committee and Intelligence Committee respectively, said the Justice Department has become a “vehicle for President Trump’s political retribution.”
“These reports, if true, raise profound new concerns that the Department of Justice under AG [William P.] Barr has lost its independence and become a vehicle for President Trump’s political revenge,” the statement said.
“If the Department of Justice may be used as a tool of political retribution, or to help the President with a political narrative for the next election, the rule of law will suffer new and irreparable damage,” it continued.
The New York Times on Thursday reported the Justice Department shifted its probe of the Russia investigation’s origins into a criminal investigation.
John Durham, the U.S. attorney for Connecticut, is conducting the review, which is being closely watched by Mr. Barr.
It is not clear what prompted the change or what evidence of a potential crime Mr. Durham has uncovered.
The change gives Mr. Durham power. He can now subpoena documents and witness testimony.

Sure they do, they are involved and look at possible charges.
Nervous yet, dems???
Warner and Blumenthal in the Senate are whining about this too
Both are up to their nasty little eyeballs in the Russia Hoax
Brennan, on the other had, has been uncharacteristically silent for the past week.
Likely lawyered up and told to shut up
It’s fun to watch the worms squirm.
Have the two of them gotten target letters yet?
Then charge them with Obstruction of Justice.
They have lost one of the House chairman’s with the Death of the Judiciary Chairman... Maybe this is a sign of panic by Schiff and Nadler...
I suspect Trump has a more than a few Arkancide-inducing October Surprises scheduled for next year.
They’re soiling their Depends.
Don’t understand what Schifty and Nadless are hollering about if they and many Rats don’t have something to hide. /sarc LOL!
And Clapper has been out saying he was following Obama’s orders.
The Dems are a joke because they still expect Rs to roll over for them and their lying news media .
Brennan: would rat out his mother to save his own skin
Clapper: not too bright and will accidentally spill some of the beans
Comey: arrogant enough to admit to crimes and then dare the DOJ to prosecute
The Baker thing, if true, could be interesting
Watching Jason Chaffetz on Fox. He said McCabe has dropped his wrongful termination lawsuit.
If the Democrats oppose prosecution of the guilty using the impeachment power, the fat will really be in the fire.
Getting a jump on the criminal investigation, lapper has already said, “I was just following orders.”
OK. From whom?
What makes a difference is how well spoken the guys on our side are. Barr I have seen. Durham, no. Horowitz is bad news for our side, he drops terms that are used against us, similar to Mueller's "not exonerated."
If Baker is well spoken, great.
Screw them, the democrats have been at bat for 2.5 years, now it is Trumps turn and heads are going to roll.
This is his MO and past enemies do not come back for a second swipe at him. He makes it hurt.
I have been telling these dumb shits this for the last 2 years. When it is his turn he will get you.
