True. Keep some people in this country.Any truth to the rumor that Obama, Hillary, Comey et al are out buying luggage?????
Attorney General William Barr has appointed a U.S. attorney to examine the origins of the Russia investigation and determine if intelligence collection efforts targeting the Trump campaign were “lawful and appropriate,” a person familiar with the situation told Fox News on Monday evening.
John Durham, the U.S. attorney in Connecticut, will conduct the inquiry, the source said. The move comes as the Trump administration has pushed for answers on why federal authorities conducted the surveillance — as well as whether Democrats were the ones who improperly colluded with foreign actors.
Two sources told Fox News earlier today that Barr was “serious” and had assigned DOJ personnel to the probe. Durham is known as a “hard-charging, bulldog” prosecutor, Fox News is told.
Sources familiar with matter say the focus of the probe includes the pre-transition period — prior to Nov. 7, 2016 – – including the use and initiation of informants, as well as potential Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) abuses.
Mr. Durham’s probe will focus on whether the Justice Department lawfully collected intelligence on Trump campaign associates, according to both the New York Times and Associated Press, each citing sources familiar with the matter.
It is not clear what investigative powers Mr. Durham will have or whether Mr. Barr will authorize a team or budget. Special counsel Robert Mueller had a squad of roughly 20 people to conduct his investigation.
Justice Department spokeswoman Kerri Kupec did not immediately return a request for comment. Thomas Carson, a spokesman for Mr. Durham, declined to comment.
President Trump has long demanded the Justice Department look into whether the FBI spied on his campaign at the behest of the Obama administration. His calls have increased since Mr. Mueller concluded there was no evidence that the president or members of his campaign colluded with Russia.
Mr. Durham’s probe is the third known investigation into FBI and Justice Department decisions surrounding the 2016 election. Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz is evaluating the Justice Department’s wiretaps on former campaign associate Carter Page. And John Huber, the U.S. attorney in Utah, is also reviewing a surveillance warrant obtained by the FBI to spy on Mr. Page.
Mr. Horowitz’s findings are expected to be released this month or next while the progress of Mr. Huber’s probe has remained shrouded in mystery.
In addition, Senate Judiciary Chairman Lindsey Graham, South Carolina Republican, has also pledged an aggressive committee investigation into the FBI and Justice Department’s actions in 2016. He said the probe will target how the department was “so in the tank for [Hillary] Clinton and hated Trump’s guts.”
The Durham probe is not a surprise as Mr. Barr signaled earlier this month that he had “people in the department” helping him examine intelligence actions related to the Trump campaign.
Mr. Durham, who was sworn in as U.S. attorney on February 22, has worked at the Justice Department since 1982 and has plenty of experience conducting high-level special investigations.
No one should be more worried tonight than former FBI Director Comey...The walls are closing in on Dirty Cop, Swamp Rat Mueller!

In your fevered dreams. I am going to enjoy watching you crash and burn
2020 Gold
I won't get excited until sentences are handed down.
We saw the feds lose a lot of cases around the Ruby Ridge Murders, but no prison for the killers.
We saw Davidians freed from custody, but no compensation paid, or indictments of the grossly negligent even filed.
We've watch the meat puppet's regime walk away from every scandal, avoid prosecution when the FBI Director specifically acknowledged crimes were committed, but he didn't bother to look for a prosecutor.
The way I see it, we need a wall around DC and turn it into the largest prison known to man.
.
There will be great wailing and gnashing of teeth in the Democrat camp...
I wonder who will be the first suicide from multiple gun wounds to the back of the head
Investigated the Criminal CIA - recommended no charges...
Hired by criminal Obama US AG Holder...
Seems like these guys are always around, always inter-connected with everyone, and no one ever seems to be held accountable...
I do trust Barr...I hope he can trust this guy to do the right thing.
Nothing happening here. Move along. Right-wing wet dreams are just that - wet dreams...

the American people deserve to see some heads roll
I hope they get it
Do you think Nadler, Pelosi, and the other Dems got Barr's message that he will not be threatened or intimidated into backing down from his promise to investigate everything that went on...?
