FILE - This 2018 portrait released by the U.S. Department of Justice shows Connecticut's U.S. Attorney John Durham. Attorney General William Barr has given extra protection to the prosecutor he appointed to investigate the origins of the Russia investigation, giving him the authority of a special counsel to allow him to complete his work without being easily fired. Barr told The Associated Press on Dec.
Barr told The Associated Press on Tuesday that he had appointed U.S. Attorney John Durham as a special counsel in October under the same federal statute that governed special counsel Robert Mueller in the original Russia probe. The investigations grew out of allegations of cooperation between Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign and Russians to help him defeat Democrat Hillary Clinton.
The whole world knows about the massive fraud in Biden's election, but the FBI and the Department of justice in the United States do not know.StopTheSteaI BidenCheated2020
The president can are him,too! What's there to investigate? Does that mean we will investigate investigators who have reasonable belief the Trump is a traitor who colluded with Russia to undermine our elections.Let Trump off scot free and investigate the investigators.Right!
So weak😂
Trump has done a horrible job picking AGs.
Wow loyalty changed so fast now that Trump is out; zero integrity from the top attorney in the country. What a Panlicker.
I’m afraid AG Barr did this to cause embarrassment in Biden’s team and strengthen the cause for Trump to be re-elected. Barr knows that he’ll be investigated by whomever the next AG at DOJ will be and his only goal is to delegitimize any of TheDemocrats and JoeBiden’s acts.
Um 😶 not going to work.
Jamie Hyneman sure has diverse interests but I’m sure he’ll do well with the Orangutan from hell.
What a bunch of man babies these people are. What a completely insane waste of taxpayer money that could go to feed the 54 million Americans going hungry right now. Yes, the Trump administration has done a STIRLING job. 🙄
This is good news new AG simply expands the perimeters of the investigation like Starr did .. and it’s Russia take 2
ICYMI (1.18.18) The FBI is investigating whether a top Russian banker with ties to the Kremlin illegally funneled money to the NRA to help realDonaldTrump win the presidency, two sources familiar with the matter have told McClatchy.
Why hasn’t this mess resign ? Lapdog turn political clown !
Barr only did this to keep his job. Because he also said today that there wasn’t any election fraud. This is BS for tRump to see next AG will stop this.
This looks like a pro-Trump move, but Trump was furious for two reasons. First, Barr told him that a report would not be issued before the election. Second, because the CIA has been eliminated from suspicion, which eliminates Trump's deep state conspiracy theory.
Wasting more of our money
Isn’t a Special Prosecutor supposed to be selected from outside the federal government? Durham should not have been eligible.
They have had 4 years. Nothing has come of this bogus investigation except waiting taxpayers money.
So if Obama had made him a special counsel to investigate Trump do we really think any of that would have mattered to Trump? Fire his butt and move on and remove ALL reactions from the Mueller Report and let the chips land as they may.
A disBARR appointed stooge.
Good, he can put Trump, Flynn, Manafort and Stone under oath to testify WTF they were actually doing playing footsie with Putin!
What a waste of taxpayer money!!! How about the next AG appoint a special counsel to investigate William Barr?
benshapiro I bet he was put there to find and act on the REAL truth about what Trump did. Since Trump won't be a sitting president,, He can feel free to bring charges.. Looks like Barr will get the last laugh...
Can we hurry this garbage up already. Hasn’t it been a few years ?
Well the new AG can give a news conference saying “There’s no ‘there’ there” just like Barr did! 🤷🏼♀️
FFS....Even Stevie Wonder would find the Corruption and evidence? 😠😠😠😠😠
benshapiro 2022 GOP retakes the House and impeaches Biden on the results of the Durham investigation.
Seriously. What. The. Fuck. Is. In. The. DC. Water. 🤔😑
Does Barr still have a job, since he undercut tRump today regarding the voter fraud. I just assumed he would be out within 24 hours of his comments.. Lol
That’s funny.
Traitor Barr
Biden can fire him. There is no way Barr can appoint anyone in Government whom The President can’t fire.
I thought they already did this?!
It also provides Durham cover to slow walk any investigation into its eventual dead end. Only EmeraldRobinson called it right this entire time.
He'll be fired when Biden takes office
We already know you Trumpsters aren't too bright but if anyone had anything it would have been released already. Why? To help Individual1 win the election which he lost fair and square
Get his ass outta here
Till the end ...
It's crazy just how many people continually line up to disgrace themselves
Barr asked Durham NOT to make any arrests/comments before election. Durham said, my reputation is at stake. Barr said, Biden will fire us. But, promise no action, I'll make you a SC who can't be fired, and can hire me. Mueller's team got $20 million to split. Now you know...
I’ll save him some time. The origins of the Trump-Russia probe are Trump and other traitors met with Russian spies and committed treason to steal the 2016 Presidential election. People caught wind of it and began to investigate.
The gop needs to stop wasting the tax payers money with these nothing investigations. Trump lost. Trump is a criminal.
Huh?
Does he have a mouth?
benshapiro Nothing will happen with it though. They’ve had so much time. With what is known, people should be behind bars. Absurd. Just like trump needs to show evidence, the DOJ needs to tell the American people exactly what happened.
Is it just me or does it seem like barbed tentacles could burst forth from Durham's alien-facesucker mustache at any moment?
Oh, it started when the campaign kept cavorting with people they were explicitly warned were being watched. Where's my paycheck from the DOJ?
What did he find, nothing?
FarmerProtest
Following the new Trump precedent I don't think it will be much of a problem firing Durham.
lorrainegc3 Barr is a liar, he appointed Durham to find any wrong doing of trump and Russia (FBI) investigators. That why one of Durham’s associates quit in protest that Barr’s corrupted appointee Durham was manufacturing evidence which put the brakes on it. A bipartisan commission must..
So, follow the bouncing ball, tRump talking abt self pardon and Barr reappointed Durham to Russia investigation to block Dem investigations under Biden... you now have the answer to who tRump owes those hundreds of millions $$ to.
only, durham cannot be a special counsel - he is a us gov't employee, which precludes him from the role. so... he's illegitimate and thus not protected whatsoever.
Extra protection my ass. Whoever Biden chooses as his AG can show him the door.
A bipartisan senate panel found Russia did interfere not too mention how many trump campaign workers and associates got arrested for colluding with Russian oligarchs and ambassadors. Come on, man.
He can't groom himself. He seems incompetent for the job.
How long before Barr gets sacked on the spot.
I bet this “appointment” is illegal
Hasn’t the beginning already been established? What we really need to know is why was Mueller investigation abruptly stopped when Barr was appointed and why did Barr lie and falsely exonerate trump?
More corruption. Can’t trust the Dow period.
Doesn’t matter you will be gone
Which probe are we now probing with a protected prober?
What a waste of our money?
TheJusticeDept realDonaldTrump Barr is smarter than Trump. He gives really bad news (to trump) and thinly covers it with good news (to trump) Really bad - no signs of election fraud Good news - he's appointed a special council to investigate Russia probe origins
This seems really stupid and pointless
So someone new to change Diaper Don's overflowing drawers?
Bill Barr. Traitor TrumpTraitors UnAmerican TrumpLiesAmericansDie Treason
Barr is trying to delay the report coming out. He knows he fucked up.
How stupid.
benshapiro Brennan, Comey, Weissmann, Schiff...all have suddenly gone dark
We know where the Russia-Trump probe came from! 😳 TRUMP COLLUDING WITH RUSSIA! It’s already been proven FLYNN 😳MANAFORT 😩STONE! C’mon man! QUIT W/the propaganda news! TrumpIsCompromised FlynnPleadGuiltyTwice DirtyDonaldsDeeds RussianLovinTrunp
This is fucking bananas. I’m out. Mic drop. I don’t know what is truth and what is lies. Fucking like this if you’re a peasant like me and your pissed.
Tic Tok, who's going to jail first? Comey? Obama?Biden?
AG Barr just said there was no widespread voter fraud (and he changed the rules because he really wanted to help Trump), Now he’s trying not to get fired by Tweet before January 20th when he gets fired for not serving the people of the United States.
kkmbol2 Ridiculous.
And Barry just crapped his pants
Zigmanfreud The jaws of the Foggy Bottom memory hole.
benshapiro Oh, shut up already.
Uh-huh, sure. This is easily challenged.

First shave that beaver from his face, then fire him.

Dems can defund Durham & shut that shit down immediately. They must start stomping their feet in this horseshit. There's no need to carry on with expensive (R)edpublican chicanery so Ms. Lindsey can appease all the murder-bees swarming around in his putin & peepee soaked bonnet.
Zigmanfreud
Interesting. And Reality Winner sits in prison without being interviewed.
Is Barr turning on Trump?
If we've learned anything, it's that ANYONE CAN BE FIRED.
Trump is a clever boy!
Seems a little late and nonsensical at this point. Biden can declassify the whole report and evidence of he wants when he takes office so this is a waste of taxpayer dollars
benshapiro Russian probewhat did Hillary do again? You never prosecuted her for the last fiasco. And why is that The proof was right there!!!
benshapiro Durhams summer house in the Hamptons needs to be paid for.
What does Durham have to work on? It took them 4 years and they still haven't dropped the fabricated 'Trump-Russia' probe and yet Barr has been able to conclude there is no election fraud in 1 month with 100's of testimonies still active? This is so wonky.
This is unmitigated bullsht TheJusticeDept JusticeOIG USAttorneys John Durham is an embarrassing hack. Where is the outcry from the GOP to end the endless investigations? Barr is a buffoon. ABAesq DC_Bar
But not to add other prosecutors or agents to the probe
Man did a hell of a job at the battle of Antietam, good pick
It's nice to see the guy from Mythbusters still getting work
Lol. The stupidity is amazing. So sure. Let’s investigate the origins of this. He does realize this time we will have all evidence presented and documents released. Is he sure he wants that. Gop is soooo stupid. Lol. Let’s do it. Dare you.
Barr is trying to prevent future prosecutor from investigating the Russia case in its totality without interference. So, by keeping his guy in place is to protect Trump.
Bart trying to save face huh?
Yeah, so what? He’ll find there was reason to investigate. You’ll never hear a thing from him is what I’d expect.
Yeeeeeessssssss.
You heir Barr
benshapiro AP=Ape...£? Durham is the special prosecutor! You cannot figure it out? A bunch of stenographers!
Special counsel work for the executive branch. Biden can be fired. I believe Barr wants Biden to fire Durham for political partisanship to make it look like a cover up. I would set a short schedule for Durham to wrap up his probe and present his findings.
Now somebody investigate Barr.. and all his bogus investigations
benshapiro Great, the Sheriff who never came to town.
Let's save him some time. DONALD J TRUMP HAS BEEN PUTINS PUPPET SINCE THE 80S & HAS SPENT 4 YEARS DRIVING OUR NATION INTO THE GROUND TO SERVE HIS MASTER PUTIN WHO HE IS HEAVILY INDEBTED TO AMONG ONE OF MANY OF OUR FOREIGN ADVERSARIES! ITS NOT ROCKET SCIENCE! 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬
This is like Benghazi. The horse been dead but you continue to beat it. Jan. 20th can’t come soon enough.
benshapiro A stache even John Bolton would be jealous of.
Blech! Someone get that dude a razor 😩
This violates federal law pertaining to special counsel. No govt employee can be appointed special counsel.
New Biden AG will shut this foolishness down.
benshapiro WHY DO YOU KEEP WASTING TAXPAYERS MONEY.
I cannot wait till Jan. 20 so President Biden’s DOJ can start investigations into the real criminals, trump and all his enablers.
Barr will be fired by tomorrow
Federal regulations prohibit Barr from appointing anyone inside U.S. Government to be a Special Counsel. Durham is a U.S. Attorney. That prevents him from being appointed.👇👇👇
For what? 😂
If y’all wanted to do something y’all would’ve.
So Barr appointed Durham to investigate the oranges? He won’t have to look far. The oranges of the investigation began in a tanning salon.
What’s taking so lonnnng?
Just more taxpayer funded BS, attorneys covering for attorneys. Never meet one yet that I liked, ever.
realDonaldTrump is a cancer to the institution of justice in this country..he pardons who plead guilty of foreign agency..and we know he directed Barr to do this..
🖕SnakeS🖕
WHY?!!!
Nor should he be fired by this administration nor the Biden administration. I want him to try his very best to scrape the very bottom of the barrel, then come back empty-handed. Give the Trump admin every opportunity to embarrass themselves. Trust me. They'll jump at it.
Most of us know the DNC and Clinton campaign paid to have the dossier “created” already. Or do we?!?! 🤔
Barr appoints a special prosecutor now....with a few weeks left on the job? so many rules have to be changed and become laws for the next administrations....Donald Duck experience needs to be taken as a lesson in lies, deception and conspiracies.....never allow this again!!!
What a waste of time.
He better do something dammit 😂
Wow, investigating the investigation
Just reduce his pay to the federal minimum wage, so he wastes less money
If he does an honest investigation he’ll end up indicting trump , and Lindsey Graham .
Keep him on. Let him feel useful. Nobody will believe his ass anyway.

This Jabroni will cut and run. That's only if he hasn't been fired on day 1.
