WASHINGTON (AP) A Justice Department review of the origins of the FBIs Russia investigation is broad in scope and multi-faceted, and intelligence agencies have already been asked to preserve records and make witnesses available, according to a letter sent to Congress on Monday.
Attorney General William Barr said last month that he had directed John Durham, the United States attorney in Connecticut and a veteran prosecutor, to determine if law enforcement and intelligence authorities engaged in improper surveillance as they investigated potential coordination between Russia and the Trump campaign to sway the 2016 presidential election.
It is now well-established that, in 2016, the U.S. government and others undertook certain intelligence-gathering and investigative steps directed at persons associated with the Trump campaign, said the letter from Assistant Attorney General Stephen Boyd, the departments top liaison to Congress.
As the Attorney General has stated publicly at congressional hearings and elsewhere, there remain open questions relating to the origins of this counter-intelligence investigation and the U.S. and foreign intelligence activities that took place prior to and during that investigation, the letter said.
The point of the review, Boyd added, is to more fully understand the efficacy and propriety of those steps and to answer open questions for the attorney general.

Until I hear that Barr is ordering a HUGE amount of Orange Jumpsuits, I won’t believe anything will happen.
Lol
Looks like the ranks of the “woe is me nothing is happening” crowd have thinned significantly
Good to see the few bitter clingers still whinning
When the indictments start rolling in, Barr needs to hold a press conference and say it’s a hundred times worse than Watergate.
Yes and that ultimately “the cover-up was worse than the crime”
