Report: Durham Using Grand Jury To Investigate Debunked Trump-Russia Allegation
Daily Caller ^ | 10/8/2020 | chuck ross

Posted on 10/08/2020 4:04:01 PM PDT by bitt

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.

I’m sure they will find the usual low level scapegoats.

Those reports are serious stuff, huh?

Debunked. They keep using that word. I do not think they know what it means.

Excellent question.

If not, it will be like a man promising to give 100 needy children gifts for Christmas, and delivering them on the next July 4th.

Hurry up, Durham....

Actually, both of their barbers. Otherwise it might hurt Biden's election chances. The barbers were caught during a lockdown cutting hair.

Only if the report contains some bold font and a few underlined words. That’s the only way we can tell they are serious.

Tom Fitton saw the Docs and said Durham’s prosecutors aren’t interested and are simply running out the Clock.

New front, results imminent, heads going to roll, certain
people are in big trouble, new information made public
people are named, actions were dire, a coup was obvious...

We didn’t have a right to see any of it from the special
investigator before the election. Many demonicRats are
convinced there’s no there there, because no indictments
have been forthcoming.

Now we can spend another four years with these guilty
parties trying to take down Trump rather than help the
nation.

Frankly at this point, it has taken on the aspect of being
a cover-up from both sides of the isle. The Left avoiding
and the Right avoiding taking action.

I don’t trust anyone other than Trump these days.

Barr, this dufus Durham, I have no respect or use for
either one of them.

Justice delayed, is justice denied. There’s a reason
for that saying. All the coup participants are still
free and acting in a coup like manner.

WHEN WILL THIS “s” END DAMN IT?

F U Barr
F U Durham

The whole Republican party is in bed with them.

...computer experts gave false information to the U.S. government...

Meanwhile, everyone on the left that gave "false information to the U.S. govt" is in the clear? No grand juries for them, huh?

Really John Durham? Do you really want to go down that road?
