Barr reveals he is reviewing ‘conduct’ of FBI’s original Russia probe
Barr explained that Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz has a pending investigation into the FISA warrants and said the probe will be complete by May or June. He then confirmed he's personally reviewing the investigation itself.
“More generally, I am reviewing the conduct of the investigation and trying to get my arms around the aspects of the counterintelligence investigation that was conducted in the summer of 2016,” Barr testified.
The comments come after House Intelligence Committee Ranking Member Devin Nunes, R-Calif., said over the weekend he was preparing to send eight criminal referrals to the Justice Department this week regarding alleged misconduct by DOJ and FBI officials during the Trump-Russia investigation. It is unclear whom Nunes will refer for investigation, and what the process at the Justice Department might be.
On Watch: "POTUS Wants to Know Everything" -- What DID Obama Know about Trump Targeting?
That's funny because there are a few things the American people would like to know about POTUS.. but he doesn't seem to care.. yet he wants to know "everything"...

Sorry you didn't watch the vid but Lisa Page testified that it was President Obama (POTUS) who wanted to know everything about the Russian Collusion shenanigans from the very beginning, by HIS intelligence and Justice investigators (Deep State).
Just like "Collusion", nothing will come of this either.
Its all a dog and pony show. Each side trying to convince the bleeding hearts that they actually care. Left or right, it doesn't matter, all they want is you to follow the carrot while both sides ram it down our throats while we argue with each other - they are laughing to the bank.
Yeah, it was a Republican asst. AG who appointed a Republican prosecutor to do the investigation AFTER Obama left office. But whatabout?
You can't make this stuff up. Oh, wait a minute, I guess you can.
So foolish, again. If you had any idea of the history of this you would know that the Deep State consisted of both Democrats and the Republican Establishment. They were all involved in this attempted coup.
Just be patient again, more TRUTH for you to not accept is coming soon.

Disagree. What the others did was criminal. Those already caught were fired, retired or forced to resign without charges being filed. This, I believe, will lead to those charges finally being filed.
That's nearly as funny as your original post. Hannity is a Trump patsy whose soul is owned by Trump. But I'll give you an A+ for consistency in your propaganda.
The more things change the more they stay the same.
I do believe that Peter Strzok and Andrew McCabe are going to need those Go-Fund-Me contributions that were made for their defense fund.
Want to bet that they are not indicted? If they had done something to be indicted they would be serving time right now... Trump goes hard after his enemies... like a crime boss.

Yet you still think trump is guilty lol.
I think he is corrupt, a traitor, and a criminal. But what I think doesn't matter, the facts do. But we can't have the facts on Trump, so going after the investigators for being part of a "coup d'etat" while the facts about Trump are REDACTED... well that's just asinine.
Former President Barack Obama’s White House counsel Greg Craig expects to be indicted for lying to Justice Department investigators during the Mueller investigation.
He would be the first prominent Democrat to be charged as part of special counsel Mueller’s team's 22-month probe.
Craig, 74, refused to accept a plea deal, and his case might be sent to a grand jury indictment as soon as Thursday, according to the Wall Street Journal. Craig believes he will be charged for making false statements to the Justice Department unit that handles the activities of foreign agents.
Inside the Magazine: April 2 Watch Full Screen to Skip Ads He was twice interviewed by Mueller's team. The potential charges stem from statements he made about the work he and his then-law firm did in Ukraine in 2012. Former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort has already been convicted of a slew of charges, some related to his political work in Ukraine.
In a statement, Craig’s lawyers noted that the case against him was investigated by the Southern District of New York, and although they expect an indictment from the Justice Department in Washington, they allege that prosecutors are abusing their authority.
“This case was thoroughly investigated by the SDNY and that office decided not to pursue charges against Mr. Craig. We expect an indictment by the DC US Attorney’s Office at the request of the National Security Division. Mr. Craig is not guilty of any charge and the government’s stubborn insistence on prosecuting Mr. Craig is a misguided abuse of prosecutorial discretion,” Craig’s lawyers said in a statement.
Craig’s then-law firm, Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, entered into a $4.6 million settlement with the Justice Department in January over its work in Ukraine. The settlement blamed Craig for providing the Justice Department misleading information.
Craig was White House counsel for Obama from 2009 to 2010 and worked as a senior legal adviser to President Bill Clinton during his impeachment investigation.
screw fox news, the gop, fringe conservatives, trump, his dad, his trash ass kids, his speech stealing wife, his cabinet. hell, screw his actual cabinet in whatever unit he lives in at trump tower.
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
President Trump on Monday said it was time to “investigate the investigators,” doubling down on Attorney General Bill Barr’s summary of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s findings in the Russia investigation.
“Mueller, and the A.G. based on Mueller findings (and great intelligence), have already ruled No Collusion, No Obstruction. These were crimes committed by Crooked Hillary, the DNC, Dirty Cops and others! INVESTIGATE THE INVESTIGATORS!” Trump tweeted early Monday.
Just a reminder that the Autopsy of the Dead Coup continues.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Attorney General William Barr declared Wednesday he thinks “spying did occur” against Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, suggesting the origins of the Russia investigation may have been mishandled in remarks that aligned him with the president at a time when Barr’s independence is under scrutiny.
Barr, appearing before a Senate panel, did not say what “spying” may have taken place seemed to be alluding to a surveillance warrant the FBI obtained on a former Trump associate. He later said he wasn’t sure there had been improper surveillance but wanted to make sure proper procedures were followed. Still, his remarks give a boost to Trump and his supporters who insist his 2016 campaign was unfairly targeted by the FBI.
