Attorney General Barr Assigns John Durham to Probe into Russia Investigation

Monday was a huge pivot in the RussiaGate scandal. Attorney General (AG) Barr appointed US Attorney (USA) John Durham from Connecticut to investigate the dubious origins of the Russian Collusion investigation. It is said that USA Durham has been reviewing the case for weeks. He has been assigned the task of investigating allegations concerning “…improper government surveillance on the Trump campaign in 2016 as well as whether Democrats were the ones who improperly colluded with foreign actors.”

This, of course, is making Democrats and their mainstream media stooges nervous.

Let me be clear: the Department of Justice is not a weapon for the president to use against perceived enemies. The American people must have confidence that those entrusted with enforcing our laws will act with fairness and impartiality. This isn’t a game. — Kamala Harris (@SenKamalaHarris) May 11, 2019 Archive.is

The Justice Department is being turned into a political weapon for the President before our eyes, day by day… — Chris Hayes (@chrislhayes) May 14, 2019 Archive.is

Democrats are Nervous and They Should Be

They have good reason to be nervous, as apparently USA Durham has already been looking into things and working on a review. He isn’t called “a hard-charging, bulldog prosecutor” for nothing. USA Durham has a history. From Fox News: “Durham has led numerous public corruption probes, including organized crime, government misconduct and financial fraud matters.”

“In 1999 AG Janet Reno appointed Durham to investigate law enforcement corruption in Boston, and under AG Eric Holder Durham was selected to investigate matters relating to the destruction of videotapes by the CIA and treatment of detainees by the CIA.” The Hartford Courant reported Durham “has a long history as a go-to leader for sensitive investigations going back two decades and for presidential administrations of both parties.”

USA Durham led the team in the 90’s which investigated the Boston Police and FBI’s inappropriate relationship with Whitey Bulger, a known gangster, and murderer. It was this investigation that found the killer was given information on informants. The information given led to the deaths of some of those informants. It was USA Durham and his team that identified corrupt law enforcement officials who provided that information, and eventually gained Bulger’s conviction.

USA Durham has been instrumental in all sorts of sensitive and high profile investigations and prosecutions on a national level. There is a very good reason Democrats and their stooges in the media are quaking in their boots. AG Barr just released the Kraken.
