WASHINGTON — Two of President Donald Trump's personal attorneys welcomed a report Monday night that Attorney General William Barr had asked a U.S. attorney to look into the origins of the Russia investigation.that Barr had assigned John Durham, the top federal prosecutor in Connecticut, to review the FBI's decision to open a counterintelligence investigation into alleged ties between Trump associates and Russia's campaign to interfere in the 2016 presidential election.

Giuliani, who said he wasn't consulted about Durham's reported assignment ahead of time, added,"As Barr has done throughout, he made a sensible choice." Barr testified before a Senate Appropriations subcommittee last month that he was reviewing whether federal authorities spied on the Trump campaign, saying he thought they had.Representatives of Durham and the Justice Department didn't immediately respond to requests for comment.

NBCNews PeteWilliamsNBC It amazes me how duped people are by the main stream media. (Built up the Mueller report which is filled with errors) now a legitimate investigation by a legitimate investigator and its (Corrupt BS) Wow, gaslighting, people should stop watching and read releases, not MSM.

NBCNews PeteWilliamsNBC I now understand why the Rastafari call the White Man the devil.

NBCNews PeteWilliamsNBC They should have picked him two years ago

NBCNews PeteWilliamsNBC Lovin it!

NBCNews PeteWilliamsNBC 😂😂😂😂😂😂. So freaking funny.

NBCNews PeteWilliamsNBC Coming soon!!

NBCNews PeteWilliamsNBC A FATNOTHINGBURGER

NBCNews PeteWilliamsNBC He looks nice.

NBCNews PeteWilliamsNBC SPYGATE FakeNews

NBCNews PeteWilliamsNBC Perhaps you need a refresher on the oranges and all the fruits of the Mueller investigation! TheJusticeDept

NBCNews PeteWilliamsNBC Could they find uglier old white men? Just sayin...

NBCNews PeteWilliamsNBC Deep state

NBCNews PeteWilliamsNBC 🖕🏼

NBCNews PeteWilliamsNBC How about we all see the Mueller report in full then decide whom needs to be investigated further or whom will be arrested.

NBCNews PeteWilliamsNBC Waste of tax payers funds

NBCNews PeteWilliamsNBC All you dimwits in the media are finally catching on. Durham has been in this longer than you refuse to realize

NBCNews PeteWilliamsNBC B.S.

NBCNews PeteWilliamsNBC This admin is setting up bad precedent for years to come no matter who is in power

NBCNews PeteWilliamsNBC I know how upset all you Trump haters are over this but the mere fact that this has been made public now means they got something big. MSNBC will not get the leaks like they did during Mueller so MSNBC will ignore it even if indictments start to fall. Enemy of the people for sure

NBCNews PeteWilliamsNBC Who actually pays Trump lawyers? There are approximately 20+ investigations going on into Trump. That is a hell of a lot work for lawyers. It isn’t free. How do they get paid?

NBCNews PeteWilliamsNBC Well, they are going to investigate the investigators, cool 😎.

NBCNews PeteWilliamsNBC Quite impressive when you consider that Russia accomplished this for a couple million$$$ Release one party's emails and at the same time provide oppo research to the other party. Puntin correctly anticipated that our arrogance and denial would do the rest.

NBCNews PeteWilliamsNBC Of course. Diversion diversion

NBCNews PeteWilliamsNBC Good luck finding nothing from nothing. Unlike the Mueller investigation, the FBI didn’t do anything wrong or illegal and that was reported and closed already. Another controversy to distract from controversy that’s distracting from controversy. What a shit show.

NBCNews PeteWilliamsNBC On one hand Trump is blocking Congressional Oversight and on the other hand he is retaliating against those who investigated him. Trump emulates a modern day crime boss!

NBCNews PeteWilliamsNBC Or, put another few ways, W. Barr lied his ass of to Congress in violation of his oath of office and the constitution.

NBCNews PeteWilliamsNBC They don't 'spy'! Investigating a treasonous presidential candidate is the RIGHT thing to do!!

NBCNews PeteWilliamsNBC

NBCNews PeteWilliamsNBC Another Ultra Right manipulator that when tasked like the communists wannabe answered the call to throw under the bus all of those opposing trump and the Republican Party together with TheJusticeDept W. Barr, using communist and Nazi tactics. Punks all. ABC CBSNews CNN

NBCNews PeteWilliamsNBC It’s just an investigation into the truth. I hope we can expect msnbc to breathlessly defend Durham’s integrity ... or have your motivations during the Mueller investigation been entirely political?

NBCNews PeteWilliamsNBC The truth is coming and there isn't anything the democrats can do to stop it. There are more investigations taking place than the public has knowledge of. The real investigators don't leak. This isn't a media or a political campaign like the failed coup attempt. TRUTH WINS!

NBCNews PeteWilliamsNBC And Durham KNOWS how Robert Mueller withheld exculpatory evidence in the Whitey Bulger case in Boston all those years ago

NBCNews PeteWilliamsNBC This is never going to end. The American people are going to be going through this Russia investigation for years. For someone that calls it a hoax, realDonaldTrump & company seem to enjoy dragging this out.

NBCNews PeteWilliamsNBC If the Obama admin was so worried about Russian interference in the campaign, WHY didn't they spy on Hillary's campaign, also?

NBCNews PeteWilliamsNBC Wasn’t this a question that Kampala harris ask Barr about a couple weeks ago before the senate committee and as usual Barr lied . Wtf are these guys above the law
