US Attorney Durham objects to IG findings on Russia probe origins in stunning statement
The U.S. attorney who is conducting a wide-ranging investigation of the origins of the Trump-Russia probe released a rare statement Monday saying he disagrees with conclusions of the so-called FISA report -- after DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz found in that review that the probe's launch largely complied with DOJ and FBI policies.
“Based on the evidence collected to date, and while our investigation is ongoing, last month we advised the Inspector General that we do not agree with some of the report’s conclusions as to predication and how the FBI case was opened,” U.S. Attorney John Durham said in a statement.
“I have the utmost respect for the mission of the Office of Inspector General and the comprehensive work that went into the report prepared by Mr. Horowitz and his staff,” Durham said. “However, our investigation is not limited to developing information from within component parts of the Justice Department. Our investigation has included developing information from other persons and entities, both in the U.S. and outside of the U.S.”
Well of course they objects. That's what they always do when the facts don't support their conspiracies. Even when their own people tell them the truth they refuse to accept it.

When you have to quote the Daily Mail you already lost. As per Pit's post - the inquiry found ..... Nothing of substance.
There is a pattern here - Mueller Report says it can't prove collusion because too many witnesses are lying and also sights multiple attempts by POTUS to obstruct the investigation ..... Barr rushes out ahead of the reports release to lie about what's in the report.
IG report finds nothing major other than one FBI lawyer altering an (email?) document - Comey, McCabe, Trump investigation all actually (really truly) exonerated ...... Barr rushes out to make up his own agenda driven statement that repeats what he said 2 years ago without the facts.
Barr - doesn't care about the facts. He's Trump's despicable me henchman who will lie and say anything to further the Trump propaganda.

Stay tuned for more as the Hamma continues to drop.
First we're told to wait until the IG report comes out, then it comes out and pretty much blows a hole in the entire list of Trump talking points.. That didn't go well for Trump.
Now we're supposed to get all concerned about the Durham report that has just been outed by no other than Durham as being biased in Trumps favor...
I see Barr and Trumps fingerprints all over the Durham comments..

If at first the independent reports don't say what you wanted them to say --- cook the books and do it again !

I guess,, I mean, that's what they did with the Mueller report. Mueller releases his report and it seemed like minutes later, Barr put out that the report no collusion.
Barr lied so much that Mueller had to do what he didn't want to do and that is stand up and make it clear that that is not what the report said.
Remember this statement (paraphrased) Mueller: if I could have said that there wasn't collusion, I'd have said so!
This is what you get when you have an AG that works for the president and not the american people...

Trump appointed Christopher Wray as the head of the FBI. Wray agreed with the IG reports findings. So one of Trump's hand picked appointees agreed with the report but Trump didn't like that conclusion so now they want to take another bite of the apple.
Just keep doing the same thing over and over again until you get the result you want?

Just wanted to post this from a trash ass “news” site so trump supporters have to respond.
Hey trump supporters, who appointed Wray to his position?
“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.”
and this is the difference between the dems running an investigation and the GOP - well, trump supporting clowns:
dems dont have to make up evidence. hell, the investigation was started by people who vote republicans, anyway.
the GOP politicians themselves have to make up conspiracy theories and read books to launch probes. then get mad when their own people determine nothing went down.
sad.

I posted this elsewhere - but it probably better fits in connection to your post Swish.
Trump is a morally bankrupt person who will say anything to stoke up the base. I'm not a CNN person but this popped up on my phone and I thought it was a pretty reasonable review of Despicable Barr's hatchet job.
"Again, according to Barr, “The greatest danger to our free system is that the incumbent government use the apparatus of the state ... in a way that could affect the outcome of the election.”
What president might be doing something like that, right now, and getting impeached for it?
In all seriousness, though, Barr’s move here is disturbingly Orwellian. He correctly identified the abuse of power to influence elections as a threat to American democracy, but then argued that the people who investigated Trump are the ones who are actually guilty of it. The criminal becomes the victim, the authoritarian the guarantor of our freedoms. You heard a similar refrain from Republicans during the House Judiciary Committee’s impeachment hearing on Monday, when they repeatedly accused the Democrats of being the real threat to democracy."

Full speed ahead and they’re doubling down.. all they have left is a fictitious “deep state” to blame it all on. It’s pathetic.
This is 100% true ... they investigated - with their own appointed investigators - and came up blank. So now, they are back to simply making up fairy tales and insinuating things without actually saying they happened (see Anderson CNN clip).
The more things change the more they stay the same.
Barr and Trump will keep searching until they find a kindred spirit to investigate and return a report based in false allegations and conspiracy theories... talk about zero credibility.
I said it before, Barr’s confirmation hearing was pretty much a preview of what we all should’ve expected to happen. He repeatedly stated he doesn’t care about his reputation and had a long career, so this is it for him.
He basically told all of us he was gonna be acting exactly how he is now: as trumps personal lawyer, not as an actual AG for the us government.
This crap has the potential to leave a permanent dent in our system.
“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.”
Hey have to spin it because it’s a complete dud on the gop side. You can see it in their faces they have absolutely nothing.
“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.”
So, you're saying false accusations, paid for by a political foe, is reason enough to get a fisa warrant?
Anytime you start your post with "So, you're saying", I know there is a load of trumpian crap fueling your pitiful attempt to trap somebody in a political gotcha. Pathetic.
