Barr’s Prosecutor Hasn’t Grilled Key Russiagate Witnesses
The Daily Beast via Yahoo ^ | May 14th, 2020 | Spencer Ackerman

Posted on 05/14/2020 1:09:55 PM PDT by Mariner

John Durham, the federal prosecutor assigned by Attorney General William Barr assigned to review Robert Mueller’s Trump-Russia probe, still hasn’t interviewed at least five key potential witnesses or targets, multiple sources familiar with the issue told The Daily Beast.

According to four sources familiar with the developing probe, Durham has yet to interview several former senior officials involved in the origins of the intelligence and law enforcement probes of Russian election interference and potential ties to the Trump campaign, nor Obama administration officials Trump insists without evidence orchestrated them. That’s the mandate of Durham’s year-old probe, which has expanded into a criminal inquiry that has alarmed many ex-intelligence officials as political retribution.

Still not interviewed by Durham are former CIA Director John Brennan, former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe. Nor have been former FBI agent Peter Strzok, former FBI attorney Lisa Page, both of whom were involved in the FBI’s “Crossfire Hurricane” inquiry and whose texts disparaging Trump have for years been presented by the president as proof he was framed. Nor has former National Security Adviser Susan Rice, who, despite not being an intelligence or law enforcement official, has been another Trumpist target.

the only mention of Comey was that his spokesman declined to comment.

Comey as state’s evidence?

If they flipped Comey this will be explosive. He knows everything.

Anything from the Yahoo’s is dubious.

“In house” Yes, this has been seen before!

Then the Lord said to me, “A conspiracy has been found among the men of Judah and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem. They have turned back to the iniquities of their ancestors who refused to hear My words, and they have gone after other gods to serve them; the house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken My covenant which I made with their fathers.” —Jeremiah 11:9-10

Spencer Ackerman from the Journolist scandal,

"Responding to the Jeremiah Wright controversy surrounding Obama's campaign, one JournoList contributor, Spencer Ackerman of The Washington Independent, stated "If the right forces us all to either defend Wright or tear him down, no matter what we choose, we lose the game they've put upon us. Instead, take one of them – Fred Barnes, Karl Rove, who cares – and call them racists"

Ackerman was also quoted as saying, "find a right winger's [sic] and smash it through a plate-glass window. Take a snapshot of the bleeding mess and send it out in a Christmas card to let the right know that it needs to live in a state of constant fear. Obviously, I mean this rhetorically."

You doubt multiple sources familiar with the issue?

Confidentiality in gj proceedings does not apply to witnesses.

The reason most gjs are made known is because witnesses tell. In politically charged matters, witnesses will blab almost 100% of the time.

Democrats want to expose everything from the Grand Jury.

Probably dox the jurors.

They doxed the electors in 2016 to harass them not to vote for Trump

That is good news for us. That means they are targets or have refused to cooperate.

He’s building a foundation; a base.

Build the evidence, flip a few crooks, then go for the jugular of the prime targets.

Not if the information is classified.

Of course it will. Now - I hope that doesn't happen - but that would surely give everyone a great excuse to drop it.

Interview them on the court witness stand.

How long did the coupists wait to “interview” Flynn? Days. How long has Durham been “on the job.” Over a year.

Where there is a will, there is a way...
