FULL TITLE: MSNBC's Chuck Todd dismisses Durham's criminal probe into DOJ as 'largely' based on Trump's 'conspiracy theories'

Trump predicts expanded Durham probe will uncover 'a lot of bad things'

MSNBC anchor Chuck Todd opened his show Friday by dismissing the latest developments in U.S. Attorney John Durham's criminal probe into the origins of the Russia investigation as something that is "largely" based on President Trump's "personal grievances and conspiracy theories."

It was confirmed Thursday night that Durham's ongoing investigation into possible wrongdoing by the Department of Justice had shifted into a criminal inquiry. Durham was appointed to investigate the Russia probe origins by Attorney General William Barr.

The "Meet The Press" moderator suggested that Durham's probe doesn't actually involve criminal activity.

"Now we do not know when this criminal inquiry began and we do not know what actual crime is being investigated yet, but we do know that this is an inquiry the president has publicly demanded based largely, it seems, on some of the same personal grievances and conspiracy theories that have also fueled his interactions with Ukraine," Todd told his viewers.

He then shifted to what he described as the "biggest development."

"[What] we are now looking at, perhaps by the president's design, is a fog of political warfare involving him, his lawyer, his attorney general, the Justice Department and Congress," Todd said. "You have the president and [his personal attorney Rudy] Giuliani who schemed to get Ukraine to dig up dirt on their political rivals, some of which would get filtered to Barr. You have an impeachment inquiry into that scheme that's barrelling its way into Congress. You have the president now successfully getting Barr to criminally investigate the Justice Department via the origins of the Russia investigation...

Agreed. Chuck Todd is a partisan Democrat masquerading as a news reporter. I haven’t watched him for years. EXCEPT Election Night 2016. I watched every liberal I could. It was priceless.

They’ll still be calling it a conspiracy theory when people are serving prison time over it.

You're right as usual.

And what a pleasant thought before going to bed tonight. All those guilty bad guys in prison. So restful a thought.

Because we know Democrats never commit crimes, but Trump is a traitor. Right.

They're not even reporting on the Flynn case or the fact that the 302s were altered by Lisa Page.

Also, Durham started the criminal probe exactly last year this month in 2018. Read Tracy Beanz Twitter feed, she's been all over this.

Chuck, I know it’s hard to handle the reality of the Barr/Durham investigation.

Since your beloved Mueller special prosecutor crashed and burned and devilish Hillary went down in flames, it’s hard dealing with what’s real.

It’s called WINNING.

I’m surprised Loretta Lynch hasn’t told the networks to call it a “matter.”

We’ll see about that when the ol handcuffs get slapped on a few wrists, Chucky. Will you be dismissing THAT?

“With evidence conspiracy theories become conspiracy fact.”

Would that require allowable evidence or just historical evidence?...or both?

I’ve been drinking gin tonight but not too much. If I had too much I would post what I really think about Chuck U Todd. And the Mods would promptly delete my post.

So as to anything he has to say I would only respond with “I disagree.”
