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.

They should just go ahead and call this Deflection Gate, since that's all it's been up until now. These people seriously think the more they throw in the mix the less we'll find out. Ridiculous.

The ORIGINS of the report, we should get DARWIN , on it. there's lots of MONKEY BUSNINESS in it.

Now the fun begins...

Who’s in charge of the Unicorn & Sasquatch probes?

The American public needs to know it a President and/or his administration used the power of their office for political purposes in directing an investigation of the opposing party in order to sway a Presidential election.

Yes, let's persecute the people doing their constitutional duty in keeping the criminal elected as president in check. This is very American, comrade.

tedlieu This is great news. Something happened to the Trump Administration during the election cycle. We must find out what it was. I am thinking that the FBI did some illegal activities. We'll find out.

Thank God! Finally!

Found it.

Please start calling banana republic bullshit by name, or become utterly obsolete. This is not a normal investigation, and your headline is fascist propaganda. When we are done with them, you don't want the American people coming for you. Fair warning.

the 'origin' needs to be put behind bars... LockHerUp

Investigate and lock people up!

Watch the kook fringe freak out when the prosecutor finds the investigation to be entirely warranted

The are actually gonna go through with this, that delegitimizing Mueller's investigation even with its success.

Bring on the FBI counter intelligence stuff to blow Barr out of the water.

Think the entire Democratic Party just butt puckered at the same time.

Finally

There was already one investigation done - Americans know so much less about their own political system it’s shocking

I propose that Congress appoint a committee to investigate the Connecticut prosecutor that is heading this probe.

Barr acting like realDonaldTrump stooge.

The coverup continues. ImpeachmentNOW

Mueller probe was the biggest sham in US political history!

nice.
