Anticipation Over U.S. Attorney John Durham’s Investigation Builds
Breitbart ^ | 4-13-2020 | Kristina Wong

Posted on 04/13/2020 4:56:59 AM PDT by blam

Anticipation over United States Attorney John Durham’s investigation is growing as Attorney General William Barr recently hinted he is building the case to prosecute people.

“He is looking to bring to justice people who are engaged in abuses if he can show that they were criminal violations, and that’s what the focus is on,” Barr told Fox News’s Laura Ingraham on Thursday. “He’s diligently pursuing it.”

The comments have heartened those who have long awaited consequences for current and former officials who investigated the Trump campaign on the basis of a discredited dossier put together by ex-British spy Christopher Steele that was funded by the Clinton campaign.

Barr tapped Durham last year to investigate the origins of the Obama administration’s investigation into the Trump campaign, as well as actions taken up through President Trump’s inauguration. Last fall, Durham upgraded his investigation to a criminal one.

Durham relocated from Connecticut to Washington, D.C., in March, so that he could continue work on his investigation amid the coronavirus pandemic, the Wall Street Journal reported.

Time is of the essence, with an election looming in November. Barr is reportedly looking to have the investigation finished by the end of summer.

“The closer we get to election day, the more any charges he brought would be framed by the media as kind of a Trump campaign stunt,” former U.S. Attorney Andrew McCarthy told WMAL on Saturday.

“So I really think it’s in his interest, especially after pouring two years of effort into this, to get with it by the late spring at the latest, because we all know if the president doesn’t win reelection, this investigation is going down the memory hole,” he said.

“We’re getting to the point where a decision has to be made, one way or the other,”

Pecker puss Pelosi and her minions will say that due to the virus, this is no time to prosecute traitorous Obama admin officials. To which we reply, due to the virus it was irresponsible to divert the attention of the president and nation during the impeachment hoax.

The AG report already set the bar wicked low, so I'm not expecting much of anything from Durham. mueller was wracking up arrests and convictions within days and weeks of being take off leash by the deep state. I think the only person Durham has arrested in these past almost two years is a Republican for some minor campaign violation.

Hope I'm wrong.

Blah, blah, blah.

Unless there are mass arrests, all the way up to Obama and Hillary, I don't want to hear their blather any longer.

In the race to do nothing, apparently Lindsey Graham has nosed ahead of Barr.

Both are committed Deep Staters.

Even if they’re charged with a crime, none of these Rat FBI/CIA will ever be convicted by an all-Rat D.C. jury.

Yes no time to investigate WHO benefited from the $17M to pay off folks accusing CONgress of Sexual harassment or worse!
Yes no time to charge those in CONgress who publicly did insider trading!
No time for anything except investigating why Epstein committed “suicide”! NOT!!!

Reporter Solomon was on with Hannity the other day and said the Durham grand jury is taking testimony and that several folks have been subpoenaed. Let’s hope for indictments this summer.

At this point I’ve pretty much accepted that the left wing deep staters are teflon coated. Nothing isgoing to happen.

If any trial is held within 100 miles of DC there will be no convictions
