U.S. Attorney General William Barr has appointed Connecticut’s top federal prosecutor to review the origins of Mueller probe SarahNLynch

WASHINGTON - U.S. Attorney General William Barr has appointed Connecticut’s top federal prosecutor to review the steps the Justice Department took in launching an investigation into whether President Donald Trump’s campaign colluded with Russia, according to a person familiar with the matter.

Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz has been conducting a similar inquiry, and is due to release his findings as soon as this month. Barr angered Democrats last month when he told them he believed spying on Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign had occurred.

SarahNLynch Trump is a heavy counter puncher and this probe will be epic, alot of Obama - era, Clinton foundation and DNC officials about to be indicted. If people think it's been a wild presidency so far, wait for it.

SarahNLynch That is good. Who is afraid of the truth?

SarahNLynch Why doesn't Barr address the national security & election security threats & risks in the Mueller report or is this just misdirection!

SarahNLynch Connecticut? Is that where he is? Just wanted to know in case the congressional Sgt. at Arms needs to make an arrest this week. ImpeachBarrAndtRump

SarahNLynch The prosecutors name is John Durham.

SarahNLynch 'A Probe' to create 'Evidence' to protect Trump's Treason, the corruption is 'Beyond the Pall'. Barr should be Jailed for the rest of his pathetic, corrupt life, for his Aiding & Abetting in that Treason, Barr & his Co-Horts are guilty of Crimes against the U.S.

SarahNLynch Comey and the rest of the Keystone Cops are about to find out that when you break the law there are 6 ways from Sunday to get caught.

SarahNLynch WTF - The government investigating the government - like it’s a game. This is a slow moving coup people! Wake up GOP Senators!

SarahNLynch John Brennan is a traitorous bum

SarahNLynch This is a joke. Co-equal branches of government now taken over by the Executive Branch and the R's are not saying anything. The spiraling imprisonment of democracy is not stopping. Wake up people.

SarahNLynch But no headlines are mentioning his name. Hmmm.

SarahNLynch Doesn’t he mean the oranges?

SarahNLynch Just more deflection. Ignore. Can't trust anything Barr does. He's probably been compromised by the Russians.

SarahNLynch the buck stops here

SarahNLynch The 'oranges' have already been investigated.
