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.

"Durham...still hasn’t interviewed at least five key potential witnesses or targets..."

Have you ever stopped to think that he might be gathering evidence, and statements from the various people down the chain, so that he has pertinent facts that he can ask the higher-ups involved in the fraud when the time comes...see if you can catch them in lies.

Bottom line: We don’t know what time line Durham is working on-Is it whenever, pre November, post Novemember. I’d bet though that he could convince witnesses to absolutely keep their mouths shut or suffer the consequences. Many times a prosecutor has other fish to fry and may let leaks slide. Durham may have assured them that he’ll go after them.

I'm reluctant to read too much into this. We know that he has empanelled several Grand Juries, and has other people working for him.

Still, interesting to speculate on this information.

So if I understand this, it took 2 years to go after who exactly? If He hasnt interviewed the main players in all of this, then who is he trying to get? This is a cover up. Nothing will happen, bank on it! Thanks Cheeseburge Barr!

Right, you work your way up the ladder.

Do they do all that before or after Trump leaves office?

Exactly. Sessions, is/was the great Pumpkin. And the whole host of others that have done nothing but collect gobermet cash. Huber was a no show.
I have no faith in Durham just based on the actions of others.

He only has to make you believe he is getting ready to drop the hammer, he doesn't actually have to drop it, especially if they just stall around until the dems steal the next election.

They all likely refused to be interviewed. Don’t blame them for that decision. I’d do the same thing. It would be improper to announce they refused to be interviewed.

There is still plenty of evidence to indict them with or without an interview.
