Federal prosecutor John Durham is scrutinizing the intelligence community’s interagency turf war over viewing secretive foreign intelligence and the government restricting access to President Barack Obama's emails that were hacked by Russians but obtained by a foreign ally, sources claimed.
Durham, selected by Attorney General William Barr last year to lead the Justice Department’s inquiry into the origins of the Trump-Russia investigation and the conduct of the U.S. government in dealing with the Kremlin’s interference, apparently is focused on at least two clashes over sensitive information, according to sources cited by the New York Times.
The first internal Obama administration squabble, described by the article in vague terms, related to restrictions placed upon yet-unknown foreign intelligence by one intelligence agency, speculated to be the CIA directed by John Brennan. Other agencies, speculated to include the National Security Agency, wanted access to the material. One source suggested that the CIA wanted to mask American identities in the data set before allowing the NSA to view it.
The second squabble was about the White House preventing the FBI from viewing U.S. emails hacked by the Russians but obtained, copied, and given to the United States by an unnamed foreign intelligence service. The Russians had hacked the Obama White House and State Department — as well as Congress — in 2014, and the FBI wanted to examine the reproduced emails to understand the Russian active measures campaign in 2016.
“But an index of the messages compiled by the unnamed foreign ally showed that they included emails from President Barack Obama as well as members of Congress,” the New York Times reported. “Mr. Obama’s White House counsel, W. Neil Eggleston, decided that investigators should not open the drives, citing executive privilege and the possibility of a separation-of-powers uproar if the FBI sifted through...

The scrutiny of investigations. The Investigations of scrutinies.
Emails hacked by the Russians but obtained, copied,bet that’s a good read with facts he fears.
He’s investigating everyone in the Galaxy.
This could take a while.
Just something to think about.
Perhaps exploiting turf wars combined with evidence of wrongdoing is the best chance to get some deep-staters to flip.
“The hack was carried out by a Russian group known as Cozy Bear — the same group that analysts believe hacked the Democratic National Committee as well.”
for the umpteenmillionth time, the “Russian hacking” is only alleged. We have never had an analysis of the servers and e-mail messages in question by an “independent” cyber security firm or the FBI. So can we stop with the “Russians hacked” narrative until it has been proven??????
Two words:
Seth.
Rich.
He’s “examining” them. That means that that is all he will do. Examining these things takes no time at all. Not worth mentioning really. The mention comes if you’re going to actually prosecute. So he’s examining this along with God knows what else. It will be We the People or no one. There is Trump and us, that’s it.
It’d be nice if someone could tell Durham the FACT that the server info suck was at a locally-connected speed (4Gb/s? or so) and NOT remotely via internet - i.e., the Seth Rich theory has more practical veracity than the gaslighting about Russia.
Anyone know how to reach him to focus on that? Makes a BIG difference in the premise.
The Durham office seems to leak like a sieve.
Durham is the new Barr who was the new Huber who was the new Sessions.
All phonies kicking the can down the road.
Either that or it's more made up stuff from unnamed sources.
Enough about Dunham.
His report is going to say “mistakes were made, but nobody made them”.
Well, with all this “hacking” going on I sure Hillary’s personal server in the toilet was perfectly safe... Don’t ya think... :)
BWAHAHAHAHAHA
You're a funny person.
Either there will be an indictment or there will be nothing.
BWAHAHAHAHAHA
Did you mistake a Federal Prosecutor for an Inspector General or is your ignorance that bad?
A report.
BWAHAHAHAHAHA
I've got to stop. My sides are hurting from laughing.
I think that if it were in Billy Jeff's trousers the whole world would know its contents.
