AG Bill Barr appoints prosecutor to look into origins of RUSSIA-collusion hoax

Attorney General Bill Barr has appointed John Durham, the U.S. attorney in Connecticut, to examine the origins of the RUSSIA-collusion charade. Politico "reports":


Durham’s appointment comes about a month after Barr told members of Congress he believed “spying did occur” on the Trump campaign in 2016. He later said he didn’t mean anything pejorative and was gathering a team to look into the origins of the special counsel’s investigation.

Barr provided no details about what “spying” may have taken place but appeared to be alluding to a surveillance warrant the FBI obtained on a former Trump associate, Carter Page, and the FBI’s use of an informant while the bureau was investigating former Trump campaign foreign policy adviser George Papadopoulos.

Scare quotes around "spying" LOL. Barr doesn't need to provide details about the spying because some of it is out in the public realm already if you aren't the industrial-advocacy-media-complex ignoring it. The FISA warrants, based on the salacious and unverified dossier are a good starting point. Then there are the SPIES put on Page and Papa-D. Then there are the text messages about an "insurance policy" to protect against a possible win by Trump. So, yeah, the SPYING isn't really a speculative matter at this point.


Durham is a career prosecutor who was nominated for his post as U.S. attorney in Connecticut by Trump. He has previously investigated law enforcement corruption, the destruction of CIA videotapes and the Boston FBI office’s relationship with mobsters.

In nominating him, the White House said Durham and other nominees for U.S. attorney jobs share Trump’s vision for “making America safe again.”

Durham was unanimously confirmed by the Senate in 2018. At the time, Connecticut’s two Democratic senators, Richard Blumenthal and Chris Murphy, called Durham a “fierce, fair prosecutor” who knows how to try tough cases.

This is all such great news, and perhaps FINALLY we will see investigations that SHOULD lead to no less than 20 people. And like I mentioned yesterday - I hope they also ask/demand answers from him about his continually telling America he had evidence of wrongdoings by Trump with Russia.

Judicial Watch Files Ethics Complaint Against Rep. Adam Schiff

Judicial Watch announced Monday that it has filed an official complaint with the Office of Congressional Ethics regarding House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff's (D-Calif.) potentially improper communications and contacts with two congressional witnesses, Glenn Simpson of Fusion GPS and Michael Cohen, President Trump’s former personal lawyer.

Specifically, the complaint, dated March 11, 2019, asks that Schiff be investigated for meeting with Simpson in Aspen, Colorado, in July 2018 and for having his staff coordinate with Michael Cohen before Cohen’s testimony to the House Oversight Committee earlier this year.

Photos emerged back in February of Schiff meeting with Simpson at a prestigious Aspen security conference. Questions have been raised because Simpson was a key witness in the House during the Intelligence Committee's Russia probe at the time of the encounter.

Simpson's firm Fusion GPS was hired on behalf of the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) to do opposition research on then-candidate Donald Trump during the 2016 election. Fusion GPS, in turn, hired Trump-hating British spy Christopher Steele to dig up dirt on the Republican candidate. His research led to the unverified Steele dossier alleging collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia. The FBI went on to use Steele's "dirty dossier" to obtain Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) surveillance warrants against Trump campaign volunteer Carter Page in October 2016.

Attorney General Bill Barr Appoints Top Special Prosecutor to Investigate Origins of Spygate Scandal

Attorney General Bill Barr assigned top special prosecutor John Durham to investigate the origins of the Russia probe.

John Durham, a US Attorney in Connecticut will examine the origins of Spygate according to a new report by The New York Times, citing two sources familiar with the matter.

Mr. Durham, who was nominated by President Trump in 2017, has a history of investigating potential wrongdoing among National Security officials, reported the NY Times.

Inspector General Michael Horowitz is also investigating FISA abuses in a separate probe.

Bill Barr stunned the Democrat-media complex last month when he said “spying did occur” during the 2016 presidential election and vowed to get to the bottom of it.

“The question is whether it was adequately predicated. And I’m not suggesting that it wasn’t adequately predicated. But I need to explore that,” Barr said.

Barr Expands Probe to Inter-Agency Effort – Working With CIA Chief Haspel, DNI Coats and FBI Boss Wray on Surveillance Activities Related to Spygate

Attorney General Bill Barr’s investigation into Spygate is much broader than previously known.

The media was stunned Monday after it was revealed Bill Barr appointed top special prosecutor John Durham to investigate the origins of the Russia probe.

John Durham, a US Attorney in Connecticut was nominated by Trump in 2017 and has a history of investigating wrongdoing among national security officials.

According to a new report by DOJ reporter for CNN Laura Jarrett, Barr is working closely with CIA Director Gina Haspel, Director of National Intelligence, Dan Coats and FBI Director Christopher Wray on surveillance issues related to Trump’s 2016 campaign.

This suggests a broader inter-agency effort is underway.

Bill Barr’s Spygate Prosecutor John Durham Is Already Investigating former FBI Hack James Baker for Leaking Information to Press

On Monday Attorney General Bill Barr assigned top special prosecutor John Durham to investigate the origins of the Russia probe.

John Durham, a US Attorney in Connecticut, will examine the origins of Spygate according to a new report by The New York Times, citing two sources familiar with the matter.

As Cristina Laila reported, Mr. Durham, who was nominated by President Trump in 2017, has a history of investigating potential wrongdoing among National Security officials, reported the NY Times.

HYSTERIA IS SPREADING IN THE DEEP STATE–

Former Deputy Assistant US Attorney General in the Office of Legal Counsel John Yoo told Laura Ingraham last night that Democrats should be quite worried.


John Yoo: If I were the Democrats I would be quite worried. And the reason why is by appointing a US attorney Attorney General Barr is essentially signaling that he thinks it’s possible that criminal violations occurred in the start of the whole investigation into any kind of Trump-Russia collusion. As Judge Starr said there is already an inspector general investigation that’s been going on that’s going to come to a conclusion. That’s what you’d do if you were just interested in reforming… But you wouldn’t go with a US attorney like Durham or someone of his stature unless the Attorney General thinks actually something criminal might have happened.

And what must worry the deep state is that US Attorney John Durham is already investigating former FBI General Counsel James Baker for leaking information to the press.

I can't even fathom that there are still people who deny that Trump's campaign was spied on by the USG, and if I were Trump I would hae fired Christopher Wray after his Congressional testimony for refusing to back up his boss.

[jimnyc]

It SHOULD go this far, and maybe even above - and NO ONE should be above the law. I hope they attack this 100% and no one gets a pass.

REMINDER: EVERY BOGUS 2016 FISA REQUEST to Spy on Trump was Signed by Obama’s AG Loretta Lynch

Last night on the Laura Ingraham Angle on FOX News, former Deputy Assistant Attorney General, John Yoo, noted that Obama’s Attorney General Loretta Lynch signed off on most all the FISA warrants during Obama’s last couple years in office (emphasis added) –


As somebody who’s worked on FISA applications, I can tell you how high it could go because under the FISA law itself the Attorney General has to approve the FISA application. So if the Steele dossier, which we now know was completely made up, was used as a basis for the FISA application, then you have somebody that was high up in the FBI that had to approve that. Somebody high up in the Justice Department had to approve that. Ultimately the Attorney General [Loretta Lynch] has to approve that.

And then a second thing we haven’t touched on yet is that appears that the FBI attempted to send undercover informants and agents to infiltrate the Trump campaign. There’s a whole other set of laws that are called the Attorney General guidelines which are supposed to only allow that in very, very rare circumstances. So I assume the Attorney General and Deputy Attorney General and maybe FBI Director Comey all had to sit in on that decision and approve it…

Here’s a reminder of what we reported on February 3rd, 2018, more than a year ago –>>

On March 7th, 2017, the Gateway Pundit reported – Only 1 in 10,000 FISA Requests Was Denied in 6 Years — Obama’s First Request to Wiretap Trump Denied in 2016.

We now know that the FISA requests to spy on Carter Page were based on the discredited and bogus fake Trump dossier created by Fusion GPS and that the dossier’s origin was not reported to the court.

We also know that all of these requests were signed off on by the Obama Administration’s Attorney General Loretta Lynch and that the first request to spy on Trump was denied by the FISA Court.

And you would have to be completely stupid not to know that the magical negro was 100% behind all of this.

Where is obama's birth certificate?

For the love of GOD, that is Trump's ace in the hole. He KNOWS... he KNOWS obama wasn't born in Hawaii. He should secretly send the US Marshalls to Hawaii with a warrant. My GAWD... do you realize the SHIT STORM that would start proving the kenyan LIED about being born in Hawaii?

Talk about set the demtrash back on their heals.... FUCK..

I am one hundred percent with you on that.
However, I think Trump should wait until in his second term to do that.
Simply because it has the potential to upset, or vastly complicate his second run for President.
And give mainstream media a dog to bark with the entire campaign , which in essence would give
a billion dollars worth of free election coverage for the dem candidate. Because remember this
would be against the POS obama, not against the running dem candidate. It is just possible
that Trump and his advisers have thought this out and are waiting for his second term , then
do this. I so dearly hope that such is the case... -Tyr

Here you are doing the same god damn thing the Democrats just did to Trump and are still trying to do to him. The US Marshals are not in the business of finding out if someone lied. Law enforcement is to investigate CRIMES to see who may have committed them.

[High_Plains_Drifter]

Here you are doing the same god damn thing the Democrats just did to Trump and are still trying to do to him.
Not even close. What a stupid thing to say.

[STTAB]

Not even close. What a stupid thing to say.

Yes, you are. You just said you want the Marshal service to investigate whether Obama lied or not. That is not the function of the US Justice Department.

[Gunny]

One would think with about half the time, half the money, and half the effort they'd be able to throw a lot of criminals in jail. Especially the way they're dropping dimes on each other now.

I have this feeling it's not only going to be obstructed at every turn, but dragged out far into the sunset.

[Kathianne]

Moving some to cage.

I am enjoying watching Brennan, Comey and the lot throw each other under the tank :laugh: Washington bureaucrats are so corrupt their first response to "We know you did it", is "Which crime did I get caught for?" :)

The ONLY real question is , how long before one or both of those guys commits suicide by shooting themselves in the back of the head, twice.

Twice, huh?:laugh:

A small caliber double tap to the back of the head is the favored method of suicide for people who get in the Clinton's way.
