Breaking! Barr-Durham Investigation Is Now Officially A Criminal Investigation
Oct 24, 2019 21:50:59 #
This is coming in the form of some hilarious spin from The New York Times, but the big news here is that my previous speculation was correct. The Barr-Durham probe into the origins of the Trump-Russia fiasco is now officially a criminal investigation.
DOJ has shifted its administrative review of the origins of the Russia probe into a criminal investigation
The move gives John Durham the power to subpoena for witness testimony and documents, to impanel a grand jury and to file criminal charges https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/24/us/politics/john-durham-criminal-investigation.html …
Justice Dept. Is Said to Shift to Criminal Inquiry of Russia Investigation’s Origins
The move is likely to open the attorney general to accusations that he is trying to deliver a political victory for President Trump. LOLOLOL Ya that's what this is about.
From the link above.
WASHINGTON — For more than two years, President Trump has repeatedly attacked the Russia investigation, portraying it as a h**x and illegal even months after the special counsel closed it. Now, Mr. Trump’s own Justice Department has opened a criminal investigation into how it all began.
Justice Department officials have shifted an administrative review of the Russia investigation closely overseen by Attorney General William P. Barr to a criminal inquiry, according to two people familiar with the matter. The move gives the prosecutor running it, John H. Durham, the power to subpoena for witness testimony and documents, to impanel a grand jury and to file criminal charges.
You can just imagine the spittle flying as they typed this. They really, really don’t want this to be looked into and by shifting it to a criminal investigation, the DOJ now has full power to compel witness testimony. That’s bad news for a lot of people who have been flailing about, insisting there’s no reason they should be investigated.
Of course, instead of just sticking to the facts, the unbiased reporters at the Times described the shift in this manner.
The opening of a criminal investigation is likely to raise alarms that Mr. Trump is using the Justice Department to go after his perceived enemies.
Yes, that’s the problem here. Not that the DOJ has enough evidence to start criminally investigating people, but that it’s happening at all and some might be “alarmed.” Isn’t it weird how they had none of these reservations with the Obama administrations investigation into Trump, nor the Mueller investigation.
There’s not many more details in the article so we’ll have to wait to see what the next moves our, but a lot of people are going to be sweating a little more profusely tonight.

Michael Flynn’s attorney, Sidney Powell just unearthed some bombs on the whole "Russian Collusion" scheme to bring down Trump. S**ts starting to hit the fan, no wonder the Dems are trying to hurry up their impeachment strategy.

I did look up if a Senator can campaign during impeachment and the answer is no, they are required to be on the floor 6 days a week. So dems are grounding their own senators from campaigning?

Maybe the t***h will see the light of day. Maybe it won’t...if the investigation circles back to the current administration.

The senate will not even open the impeachment trial. Case dismissed. With prejudice.
Glad to know you know more about what the senate will do than Moscow Mitch does.
