U.S. Attorney John Durham has reportedly opened a new front in his investigation into the origins of the Trump-Russia probe.
According to a report, Durham is seeking grand jury testimony from computer scientists behind an allegation that Donald Trump’s real estate company had a secret communications channel with Alfa Bank.
The Alfa-Trump theory was first floated in October 2016, but was debunked in the Justice Department inspector general’s report on the FBI’s investigation of the Trump campaign.
Durham is also reportedly seeking the testimony of Daniel Jones, a former Senate Intelligence Committee investigator who partnered with Fusion GPS and Christopher Steele in 2017.
The U.S. attorney investigating the origins of the Trump-Russia probe is seeking grand jury testimony from a group of computer scientists behind a since-debunked allegation that Donald Trump’s real estate company had covert computer contacts with a Russian bank, according to a report.
The New Yorker reports that John Durham, the U.S. attorney for Connecticut, has contacted the scientists in recent weeks seeking their testimony.
According to the magazine, investigators have told potential witnesses they are investigating whether two pseudonymous computer experts gave false information to the U.S. government regarding a covert communications channel between the Russian bank, Alfa Bank, and the Trump Organization.
Hillary Clinton emphasized the allegation of a possible link between Trump and Alfa Bank when it appeared in the press days before the 2016 election.
Durham’s use of a grand jury to investigate the allegations about Alfa Bank indicates a new front in his sprawling probe.

Good grief. See you in 2027.
Durham and Barr is sliding this under rug. No one will be indicted. Bottom line.

Mueller was going to shock the conscience.
IG Horowitz used some stern words, burned up 18 months.
Fraud Huber covered up for a year.
Durham hired all Dems and after doing nothing his lead Dem Investigator took a pot-shot at Trump and resigned,
And, this is a good one, Judge Sullivan was going to blast the Prosecutors and send people to jail!
FISA Judges were going to be furious...
Sure, right, people have no clue how DC works.

Debunked. They keep using that word. I do not think they know what it means.
This is an article from the GOP leaning Daily Caller. They should have have shoved “debunked conspiracy theory” back at the rabid Democrats on this one.
Maybe I’m tired or something but this sounds like an investigation to see if Trump did something wrong.
When they figure out what happened to the Lindbergh baby, let us know.
” Durham is seeking grand jury testimony from computer scientists behind an allegation that Donald Trump’s real estate company had a secret communications channel with Alfa Bank. “
sounds like to me that he is looking for WHO started the NOW DEBUNKED allegation.
No, the story talks about the computer guys lying to the investigators—NOT that Trump had this fake computer connection.
Trump just said open all... can he go after durham for what he has..
if our side dont hit hard.. we will be but a spot on the wall.
Well, it’s not as if they waited almost 4 years to start! Oops, neverrrrmind.
Don’t forget the strongly worded e-mail to the perps.
In what location is the Grand Jury?
Anyone know?
Durham and Senator Graham and the GOP are one in the same...hope Trump loses and it will all go away..
Even after Trump wins we’re going to get more of the same. They all hate him inside Main DOJ and will never validate his political positions. Look at Flynn still being assaulted while Bagpipes Barr is asleep at the DOJ wheel. He should be dropping the hammer on the corrupt DC circuit and DOJ prosecutorial misconduct. Instead, we get crickets on those fronts.
“Durham and Senator Graham and the GOP are one in the same...hope Trump loses and it will all go away..”
Bears repeating. The Swamp is intent on protecting itself. Regardless of party. Too many people have too much to lose.
Yeah, yeah of course he is. At one time I believed that crap.
“Barr, this dufus Durham, I have no respect or use for either one of them.”
Especially if nothing is done before election, and doubly so if Trump loses! These assholes have been playing a four corner stall for 4 years.
