AP source: Prosecutor to examine Russia probe origins

WASHINGTON (AP) — Attorney General William Barr has appointed a U.S. attorney to examine the origins of the Russia investigation and determine if intelligence collection involving the Trump campaign was “lawful and appropriate,” a person familiar with the matter told The Associated Press on Monday.

Barr appointed John Durham, the U.S. attorney in Connecticut, to conduct the inquiry, the person said. The person could not discuss the matter publicly and spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity.

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.

That is just more stonewalling from the truth that is under the redaction of the Mueller Report .

You wish you'd never heard of Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Andrew McCabe, James Baker and Jame Comey, huh Ron?

Steve Williams Tuesday, May 14th 2019 at 11:00AM

Robert, they say Durham has investigated the FBI before. I don't remember but I expect you do.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Tuesday, May 14th 2019 at 11:40AM

People have gone to jail over this Russia probe issue. BARR has told you a lie before and got busted for it, now you want to hear from this one again, WOW!!! sound like more Stonewalling to me.

We will see indictments from this investigation Ron. The traitors will be brought to justice.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Tuesday, May 14th 2019 at 12:21PM

Just like they will under the House Investigations in The Mueller prob.

Steve Williams Tuesday, May 14th 2019 at 12:30PM

Durham is a criminal investigation Ron. The only criminal investigation the House has the power to conduct is impeachment. What are you waiting for?

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Tuesday, May 14th 2019 at 1:20PM

Slow down Steve, the facts are coming to the surface.

Steve Williams Tuesday, May 14th 2019 at 9:22PM

What do the "facts" tell you Ron? You'll never have a better chance than now. Your case will go down from here.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Tuesday, May 14th 2019 at 11:11PM

No, it is not my case but the truth will win...
