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.

And Durham wants to know all the answers before he starts asking them questions.
Several of the coup conspirators get no mention in this article.
Right, you work your way up the ladder. When all the evidence is collected and cross-referenced, then you interview the coup plotters.
“The commie, dimwit author does not realize they have not been interviewed because they are targets.”
First thing that came to my mind as well.
The people who should hang get interviewed last.
If Trump loses in 2020 it will all disappear...
They don’t know who he interviewed or anything. Grand jury proceedings are classified.
No. Durham now has Grinnls rogue gallery list from yesterday to work from. Those Obamites will be grilled last. To a crackley crunch.
Do it *while* they're swinging.
"So how does it feel to be dangling around like that with your POS neck snapped?"
If this investigation is done properly then the last prime targets will have zero wiggle room in their testimony and will be reminded that they are under oath the moment they stray from facts previously discovered. The prosecutors have the ammo when needed most against the big fish.
How do we know that for sure? I heard that Durham has three separate grand juries empaneled. Aren’t g.j. witnesses completely secret?
“Several of the coup conspirators get no mention in this article. “
Hopefully those are the ones who are singing like canaries.
That's what I was afraid of.
Can you imagine if Hitlery was elected ?
"Ye, the first shall be last, and the last shall be first"; thus sayeth the Lord.
I think you are quite right. The targets should be interviewed last so that all the answers are known and the questions can be crafted more intelligently.
This Daily Beast article is actually GOOD NEWS for our side!
I PRAY you are right, and that Durham is not another DUMBASS HUBER!
I figure the author must’ve just asked the ‘targets’ and they said they hadn’t been interviewed.
Interview? Interview?? I think the legal English word is interrogate, after Miranda rights are read.

“Aren’t g.j. witnesses completely secret?”
Any citizen interviewed by DOJ, Grand Jury or FBI is allowed to state that occurred. The questions they were asked, and what their answers were cannot be released by any participant.
While the GJ and prosecutor cannot ID witnesses, they CAN identify themselves. Just not the content.
“they have not been interviewed because they are targets”
Sure, sure, that’s why the coup plotters never interviewed General Flynn, because he was a target. Didn’t even try to interview President Trump.
Durham already has a clearance to view classified documents.
Especially unredacted documents. He does have to wait to view them
until they are released to the public.
And I’m sure he has already viewed them.
