Attorney General William Barr has appointed a U.S. attorney to examine the origins of the Russia investigation and determine if intelligence collection efforts targeting the Trump campaign were "lawful and appropriate," a person familiar with the situation told Fox News on Monday evening.
John Durham, the U.S. attorney in Connecticut, will conduct the inquiry, the source said. The move comes as the Trump administration has pushed for answers on why federal authorities conducted the surveillance -- as well as whether Democrats were the ones who improperly colluded with foreign actors.
Two sources told Fox News earlier today that Barr was serious and had assigned DOJ personnel to the probe. Durham is known as a "hard-charging, bulldog" prosecutor, Fox News is told.

Why wasn’t it some federal prosecutor from Lubbock Texas?
Things are looking up on behalf of Trump and "justice."
how do you know this?
December 2000, Durham revealed secret FBI documents that convinced a judge to vacate the 1968 murder convictions of Enrico Tameleo, Joseph Salvati, Peter J. Limone and Louis Greco because they had been framed by the agency. In 2007, the documents helped Salvati, Limone, and the families of the two other men who had died in prison win a US$101.7 million civil judgment against the government.[7]
In 2002, Durham helped secure the conviction of retired FBI agent John J. Connolly Jr., who was sentenced to 10 years in prison on federal racketeering charges for protecting Bulger and Flemmi from prosecution and warning Bulger to flee just before the gangster’s 1995 indictment.[7]
Durham’s task force also gathered evidence against retired FBI agent H. Paul Rico who was indicted in Oklahoma on state charges that he helped Bulger and Flemmi kill a Tulsa businessman in 1981. Rico died in 2004 before the case went to trial.[7]
Durham also led a series of high-profile prosecutions in Connecticut against the New England Mafia and corrupt politicians, including former governor John G. Rowland.[7]
Because I did background research on Durham.
If you think I'm incorrect then do your own background research and prove me wrong.
Ping.
We hear that about every guy, and half of them turn out to be deep state operatives.
The reckoning is here....!
Only two damn years late!
This guy has ability to convene a grand jury and prosecute....
Give NO Quarter!
How will this be different than Huber’s investigation?
There is also a Mueller/Bulger connection that Durham might want to resolve this time around.
What ever happened to Huber?
Is he still alive? Is he in a nursing home?
Yeah how much longer do I have to trust him? /s
Barr’s announcement today seems to validate fears by conservatives that Huber has been doing nothing more than a “Where’s Waldo?”.
Well, guess what... Durham will be in the other half that turns out to be a NON deep state operative.
You'll know this is true when you see the LEFT and the Washington Dimms begin ATTACKING Durham just as they're now attacking Barr.
Several folks are "going down" and many pigs will began squealing to keep themselves from going to slaughter.. watch and see.
Sleepy Sessions appointed Huber. An honest, real and probably very pi$$ed off AG Barr appointed Durham.
Hopefully he is a keeper, and more importantly a patriot who loves this country and wants to rid her of this corruption that has infested our government.
So Durham has a documented historical record of reversing Mueller outrages.
OUTSTANDING!
