AG Barr Appoints U.S. Attorney To Investigate Origins Of Russia Investigation
2019-05-14
[DailyWire] Attorney General Bill Barr has appointed a U.S. attorney to investigate the origins of the Russia investigation and to determine if the FBI's surveillance of the Trump campaign in 2016 was legal.
Hold me in contempt, you little shits? How you like these apples?
The Associated Press reported that a source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said that Barr "appointed John Durham, the U.S. attorney in Connecticut, to conduct the inquiry."

"The inquiry will focus on whether the government’s methods to collect intelligence relating to the Trump campaign were lawful and appropriate," The AP added. "Durham has previously investigated law enforcement corruption, the destruction of CIA videotapes and the Boston FBI office’s relationship with mobsters."
That tiny slamming sound you heard was sphincters in DS and Dem assholes everywhere
In April, a Trump administration official told Fox News that Barr had assembled a team to investigate the origins of the FBI the Obama administration's FBI counterintelligence investigation of the Trump campaign.

"I am reviewing the conduct of the investigation and trying to get my arms around all the aspects of the counterintelligence investigation that was conducted during the summer of 2016," Barr said during a congressional hearing in April.
That last statement, made before congress, was what we politically refer to as a "Veiled Threat" to the congressional dems. You didn't listen. Now the mechanics of government are going to grind right over your failed coup attempt.

#10  More likely to obscure and misdirect than to help. I believe the CIA and DNI were in this all along with the FBI and White House

#8  About a 9.75 pucker factor on the left side of the aisle.

You don't suppose Nadler will ask Dunham to testify and try to discredit the investigation or request documents to leak and kill the investigation?
