Anticipation Over U.S. Attorney John Durham’s Investigation Builds
Breitbart ^ | 4-13-2020 | Kristina Wong

Posted on 04/13/2020 4:56:59 AM PDT by blam

Anticipation over United States Attorney John Durham’s investigation is growing as Attorney General William Barr recently hinted he is building the case to prosecute people.

“He is looking to bring to justice people who are engaged in abuses if he can show that they were criminal violations, and that’s what the focus is on,” Barr told Fox News’s Laura Ingraham on Thursday. “He’s diligently pursuing it.”

The comments have heartened those who have long awaited consequences for current and former officials who investigated the Trump campaign on the basis of a discredited dossier put together by ex-British spy Christopher Steele that was funded by the Clinton campaign.

Barr tapped Durham last year to investigate the origins of the Obama administration’s investigation into the Trump campaign, as well as actions taken up through President Trump’s inauguration. Last fall, Durham upgraded his investigation to a criminal one.

Durham relocated from Connecticut to Washington, D.C., in March, so that he could continue work on his investigation amid the coronavirus pandemic, the Wall Street Journal reported.

Time is of the essence, with an election looming in November. Barr is reportedly looking to have the investigation finished by the end of summer.

“The closer we get to election day, the more any charges he brought would be framed by the media as kind of a Trump campaign stunt,” former U.S. Attorney Andrew McCarthy told WMAL on Saturday.

“So I really think it’s in his interest, especially after pouring two years of effort into this, to get with it by the late spring at the latest, because we all know if the president doesn’t win reelection, this investigation is going down the memory hole,” he said.

“We’re getting to the point where a decision has to be made, one way or the other,”

I’m sure CNN correspondent Laura Jarrett is all over this story!

(ValJar’s daughter, she is.)

Where’s ValJar these days, anyway?

If we want to see justice in DC maybe we can hire the Chinese to do it for us... It appears Americans no longer have the necessary stones to do what needs to be done... :(

Correct, not a single one of them.

We’ll have to settle for seeing a few of their names/positions exposed in the report and that will be about it. No real punishment for sabotaging a president.

Consequently, some variations on Spygate WILL occur again in the future since there was no penalty for doing it.

Justice will never happen for them, I have given up on Barr and company.

“Justice” is only for the little people. The elites are immune to accountability.

True that. We’re all about talk, rhetoric and posturing — not meaningful action.

Key phrase: “IF he can show that they were criminal violations”.

Good luck. Not holding my breath.

I’ve anticipated so much I’m out of anticipation. Now it will be utter shock when I see something happen...

You spelled “hanged for treason” wrong, didn’t you?

Schiff will beat them to the punch again and have impeachment going before these two can get anything together.

If Trump has any Ed Buck related charges against Schiff, now would be the time to drop them.

I’m fairly pro-British, but one thing that bothers me is the extent of the complicity of the British government. And, the Dems squawk about Russian influence.

What do you call a collection of anti Trump/Barr people on FreeRepublic?

A herd?

A whine?

A surrender?

A squish?

A tard?

I'm not exactly sure. I'm gonna Google it.

I’m very pro-Trump.

Nothing is going to happen to any of the participants of the Kenyanesian Usurpation because it would expose the perfidy of EVERYONE in D.C., except Trump.

He’s practically alone there in not being complicit with violating the Constitution.
