This news comes just a day after it was announced that Attorney General Barr has launched a criminal investigation into the investigators of President Donald Trump.
Justice Department Review of Origins of Russia Probe Now a Criminal Investigation.
The DOJ review of the origins of the Trump / Russia probe is now a criminal investigation, Reuters is reporting:
“A U.S. Justice Department review of the origins of the probe into Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election is now a criminal investigation, a person familiar with the matter said on Thursday.
Is Barr going to defeat the deep state?
The person, who spoke to Reuters on condition of anonymity, declined to say whether a grand jury had been convened in the investigation.
The development was first reported by the New York Times.

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://t.co/MBnARap0UO

U.S. Attorney General William Barr launched a review earlier this year to investigate President Donald Trump’s complaints that his campaign was improperly targeted by U.S. intelligence and law enforcement agencies during the 2016 election.
Democrats and some former law enforcement officials say Barr is using the Justice Department to chase unsubstantiated conspiracy theories that could benefit the Republican president politically and undermine former Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation.

As part of his inquiry, Barr has asked Australian and British justice officials for assistance and visited Italy twice, meeting intelligence agents in Rome in August and September to learn more about people mentioned in Mueller’s report.
Barr appointed Connecticut State Attorney John Durham to lead the review of whether U.S. intelligence and law enforcement agencies acted properly when they examined possible ties between the Trump campaign and Russia, which ultimately led to the Mueller investigation.”
This is good news and it’s about time.
