Origins of Trump-Russia probe now a criminal investigation

Attorney General William Barr's probe into the intelligence and origins of the 2016 Trump-Russia investigation is now a criminal investigation, according to a person familiar with the matter.
The so-called investigation of the investigators is led by John Durham, a Connecticut-based federal prosecutor, who so far has conducted some interviews but also has run into some obstacles from witnesses who have declined voluntary interviews, CNN reported last week.
The move to make it a criminal inquiry was always anticipated, and it allows Durham to use subpoenas to compel testimony and comes as President Donald Trump faces an onslaught of negative headlines stemming from the House impeachment inquiry into his dealings with Ukraine. It's not clear what, if any, part of the Trump-Russia investigation is a target of Durham's criminal probe.

  1. 1:25 dismissive … followed by hypocrisy… then a nervous clapper. Anderson, you’re smart enough to know how this looks.

  2. Lots of stuttering, and sweating bullets in this clip. It will be interesting to see the depth of the media’s coziness with those being investigated. I expect their posture to change pretty soon. Their responses are almost as incredulous as the night Trump won the Presidency. Media opinions suddenly seem shallow, fragile, and very troublesome now that the Justice Department is finally baring teeth. It’s like they know there is a tiger in the bush, but they can’t see it…. Maybe the news will now become more of a fact-reporting agency that it once was, as opposed to blindly going alone with “the narrative,” that is now thoroughly exhausted. It will be fun to watch the late night comedians try to spin a laugh out of this one.

    1. Exactly. And this is why the Democrats are feverishly trying to concoct and peddle the “impeachment inquiry” as loudly and deceitfully as they can. Total desperation. And naturally they keep claiming everything is “revenge” for investigating Trump. As if all THEIR investigations weren’t. The hypocrisy of the Democrats and their media minions is as reprehensible as it is astounding. They’re literally evil.

  3. Time to pay the piper you treasonous SOBs!
    Just love watching you start to sweat, and (pathetically) try to weasel your way out of responsibility for your actions.

  4. 0:51 LOL, here comes the defense of unknown persons who are the subject of a criminal probe. We don’t even know who they are and CNN is rushing to their defense. I thought CNN was all about eliminating corruption in government. You know, with Donald Trump and Hilary Clinton. It’s the job of our Justice Department to bring people to face justice before an impartial jury and judge. CNN is doing a great job of sewing distrust in our government. It’s like they are unintentionally fueling the fire of these conspiracy theorists. Better coordination with the Democratic party is needed.

    1. @MrAlexbreak Because most decent human beings like us actually have lives and things to do. tRump supporters are a waste of space and have nothing better to do than be hateful. That’s why they chose to follow their tangerine idol. They are just as uneducated and stupid as he is.

    2. @Rod Allen Except the traitor and his administration did collude with Russia. That is common knowledge. How far exactly is your head buried in the sand simpleton?

    1. I keep hearing you people say ‘tick tock’ while more and more members of this administration get fired and indicted, Trump gets impeached and Hillary is found to have committed no wrong doing in regards to email… How are you so devoutly devoted to your conspiracy theories when they never hear fruit?

    2. The impeachment isn’t happening.

      How many times do you have to fall for this? This is into crimes by the agents.

      The phony impeachment (seriously how can you not figure this out with the Dems acting so secretive but also leaking bits that make good stories against Trump?) Is just about creating negative news stories to hype the base. The impeachment likely won’t be voted on, but if it is they have zero actual evidence so it will never come to pass.

  5. Clapper sounds very nervous and out of breath. What started the whole Democrat impeachment hearings was the mention of Crowdstrike from Trump to the Ukrainian President. The DNC servers were never examined by the FBI and Crowdstrike is the company that said they were hacked, thus starting the whole debunked Russia investigation.

  6. Crowdstrike is fancy bear. Vault 7.
    You will soon see how dirty the DNC was playing in 2016. The Ukrainian scandal is misdirected away from crowdstrike gate coming soon. Hillary’s server is in Ukraine and that’s what trump wants. And is going to get. And they are scared as hell.

  7. Kennedy’s own brother was the attorney general Anderson, don’t you remember? Clapper uh uh uh so uh uh so uh. Clapper you’re going down.
