Barr taps Durham as special counsel, pushing probe into Biden era
The attorney general revealed his latest move to dig into the origins of the Trump-Russia investigation.

Attorney General William Barr has appointed U.S. attorney John Durham as a special counsel to investigate the origins of the FBI’s probe of Russian interference in the 2016 election.

The appointment formalizes Durham’s ongoing probe, but more significantly, would give Durham latitude to continue the politically explosive investigation after President-elect Joe Biden takes office in January.

Barr elevated Durham to special-counsel status on Oct. 19 but disclosed the move in a letter Tuesday to the House and Senate Judiciary Committees.

The Biden transition team did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Democrats have long viewed Durham’s efforts as political payback by President Donald Trump and his allies, seeking to deflect from evidence that the Trump campaign capitalized on the Kremlin’s efforts.

Since May 2019, Durham has been reviewing the FBI’s decision to launch the investigation of President Donald Trump’s campaign and its connections with Russia, a sprawling probe that became known as Crossfire Hurricane and which was later taken over by Special Counsel Robert Mueller.

While I don't particularly have a problem with Durham investigating whatever he needs to investigate, I'm not sure this hiring is legal?

28 CFR 600.3 determines the qualifications of the Special Counsel and specifically mentions: The Special Counsel shall be selected from outside the United States Government.

IIRC, Durham is a United States Attorney for the District of Connecticut, which makes him part of the US government. I can't think Barr isn't aware of this, but I wonder what's the endgame?

deja vu?

Trump-Russia probe:

Barr assigns prosecutor to review inquiry

14 May 2019

John Durham, the US attorney in Connecticut ...

"I didn't ask him to do that... :lol

But I think it's a great thing that he did," Mr Trump said.

"I am so proud of our attorney general." :lol our? Barr is exclusively YOUR personal ball washer

Is this how Barr appeases Trash after calling Trash, Julie Annie, Repugs all liars on election fraud?

Durham was apparently dropping an October Surprise bomb, but nothing.

" Attorney General William Barr has

given extra protection to the prosecutor

he appointed to investigate the origins of the Trump-Russia probe,

giving him the authority of a special counsel to complete his work without being easily fired."

It's also a do over for sore losers like TSA.

(Come to think, demanding a do-over has been the characteristic response of MAGAlandia to adverse outcomes the whole way.)

Trump's special counsel investigating the Mueller probe only found one loose allegation

https://www.rawstory.com/media-library/image.jpg?id=27224858&width=1200&height=674

Mueller probed whether Trump colluded with Russia and it resulted in 34 indictments and cited at least ten incidents in which Trump potentially obstructed justice.

the only thing he could find is suspicion :lol no evidence, no proof

that a lawyer lied to the FBI.

Lawyer Michael Sussmann served as the Democratic National Committee's cybersecurity lawyer for the Russia investigation and

Durham has accused him of making false statements.

He will reportedly recommend (https://www.rawstory.com/durham-report/) to the Justice Department that Sussmann be indicted by a grand jury.

I'm just waiting to read an article of your passing bro so I and others can celebrate your death just like you're doing in that other thread. What's wrong with doing that?

You finally waking up to the realization that you're exactly the monster you're trying to make others out to be? You're a dumbfuck SH and you will always be a dumbfuck.

people who are ending up dead and are part of a disinformation campaign that resulted in many other people dying

do not get my tears- and there is zero wrong in that
because i prefer people to live

and their deaths

HELP others live since their disinformation dies with them


however that is way different than just wishing death on other posters simply because they are not in the trump cult


but you do YOU
