EXCLUSIVE – John Durham, the U.S. attorney reviewing the origins of the
2016 counterintelligence investigation into Russia and the Trump campaign,
is probing a wider timeline than previously known, according to multiple
senior administration officials.
Fox News previously reported that Durham would be reviewing the days
leading up to the 2016 election and through the inauguration.
However, based on what he has been finding, Durham has expanded his
investigation adding agents and resources, the senior administration
officials said. The timeline has grown from the beginning of the probe
through the election and now has included a post-election timeline through
the spring of 2017, up to when Robert Mueller was named special counsel.
Attorney General Bill Barr and Durham traveled to Italy recently to talk
to law enforcement officials there about the probe and have also had
conversations with officials in the U.K. and Australia about the
investigation, according to multiple sources familiar with the meetings.
Barr assigned Durham, the U.S. attorney in Connecticut, back in May to
conduct the inquiry into alleged misconduct and improper surveillance of
the Trump campaign in 2016, as well as whether Democrats were the ones
who'd improperly colluded with foreign actors.
The attorney "is gathering information from numerous sources, including a
number of foreign countries. At Attorney General Barr’s request, the
president has contacted other countries to ask them to introduce the
attorney general and Mr. Durham to appropriate officials," Justice
Department spokeswoman Kerri Kupec said last month.
Durham, known as a "hard-charging, bulldog" prosecutor, according to a
source, has been focusing on the use and assignments of FBI informants, as
well as alleged improper issuance of Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act
(FISA) warrants. Durham was asked to help Barr to "ensure that
intelligence collection activities by the U.S. government related to the
Trump 2016 presidential campaign were lawful and appropriate."
Democrats increasingly have targeted Barr. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-
Calif., said late last month that Barr has "gone rogue," alleging an
attempted "cover-up" of the whistleblower complaint that has led to a
formal impeachment inquiry of President Trump.
Pelosi made the comments on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" after host Joe
Scarborough asked if she was concerned that the country's institutions
could fail due to Barr's behavior.
"I think where they are going is the cover-up of the cover-up, and that's
very really sad for them. To have a Justice Department go so rogue, they
have been for a while, and now it just makes matters worse," said Pelosi,
faulting Barr for instructing the director of national intelligence to
bring the whistleblower complaint over a July phone call between Trump and
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to the White House.

No collusion - Special Counsel Robert Swan Mueller III, March 2019.
Donald J. Trump, 304 electoral votes to 227, defeated compulsive liar in
denial Hillary Rodham Clinton on December 19th, 2016. The clown car
parade of the democrat party ran out of gas and got run over by a Trump
truck.
Congratulations President Trump. Thank you for cleaning up the disaster
of the Obama presidency.
The Obama-led Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS)
approved Uranium One in fall 2010. With a little luck, we'll see
compulsive liar Hillary Clinton in jail before she dies.
Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp.
Obama increased total debt from $10 trillion to $20 trillion in the eight
years he was in office, and sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood queer
liberal democrat donors.
