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.

P
Well I’ve always liked broads that were broad in scope :)
But how about throwing a squirrel a nut?
mueller didn’t have any trouble grabbing some folks quickly.
I know, our side plays by the rules so it takes longer.
But I won’t be able to read the list of indictments from my coffin...
THE LETTER

Never say never.
(Gonna milk my GoT references for as long as I can).
That's an understatement.
Which I hope means includes the Democrats, the Hillary Campaign, and Hillary and Obama.
Since the link came from you, I read all of it.
Of course it matters who sends you a link, as some have built a reputation to be taken seriously, while others, such as myself, not so much lol.
There is some hope in there but are the possible violated rules and laws they are looking at things that are punishable by significant prison time or just warnings?
It is a rhetorical question but I do hope there are some serious sentence carrying “missteps” being looked into.
I like Barr and I DO believe he stopped the mueller probe or it would still be ongoing.
There are different ways of stopping probes and whatever way he used worked.
I guess we should give him time.
Thanks for the link.
I SWEAR at first I thought this was a screen shot from a 1960s series that an older FReeper was sending me :)
I looked up the tagline “the night is..” and saw GoT come up :)
As an aside...I WANT HER!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE SANTA!!!!
She just seems so hotly evil!!!
Is this GoT worth watching from the beginning.
If you were one of those folks who told me Breaking Bad was GRREEAAT, I’m giving you the HAND!!! (like a real fruit! :) )
Wasn’t that impressed.
Buona notte paesano!!
Kinda fizzled in the last season though, but the trip is worth it.
p.s. You get to see her boobies.
It's almost as good as Breaking Bad. Hahahahahaha.
Better Call Saul is better (BB prequel).
broad and Deep.
Yes
Thanks guys.
and the PS makes it worth watching right there :)
BCS looked really good. I started watching it but I think I have adult ADD. I’m a VICTIM!!! :)
Right after I’m done studying the online race form and listening to Gershwin, I will take a look at GoT. (inside FR joke) :)
Yes, but not to the end. Stop after season 4 or 5 and save yourself unseemly bouts of shouting insults at the idiot post-Martin writers even though you know they can't hear you.
Start making arrests or stop this nonsense. Why in hell are hillary and comey still running around? Any crackerjack attorney could bring a winning case against both of them in 2 weeks. They both should be looking at years in the pen. Im just going to say it. Barr is Sessions 2.0. Hes just putting on a little better act. Broad investigation is just an excuse for zero indictments.
“Broad in scope” means don’t expect any results in your lifetime.
Tick tock.
Which means hes going to run out the clock past the next election cycle and also the statue of limitations
If “broad” is code for Hillary, then yeah!
