Justice Department Examining Origins of Probe Into Trump Campaign’s Possible Ties to Russia

WASHINGTON—Attorney General William Barr has formed a team at the Justice Department to examine the origins of the counterintelligence investigation into the Trump campaign’s possible ties to Russia’s interference in the 2016 election, according to a person familiar with the plans.

The issue has been a longstanding grievance among Republican lawmakers who allege law enforcement officials and prosecutors abused their authority at the start of the investigation.

Adam time you produce your envidence not continue the lie “The president has already done tremendous damage to our institutions, to the Justice Department, ... and I would hope the attorney general as the top law enforcement officer in the land wouldn’t make careless suggestion”

Nancy’s reply to Barr dismaying and disappointing that the chief law enforcement officer of our country is going off the rails, yesterday and today.” More disappointing that the collusion lie was exposed. This is a logical step to return democracy

Move this forward quickly America is not a Banana Republic Restore twitch in democracy

A real AG, investigating real crimes RadioEmmet eoinweldon brianmurphy101

Ahh, we aren’t sure of the origins

This AG is simply a Trump tool.

Team is not formed yet.

Took long enough

I’m sure this “ team” will be unbiased and bipartisan

This is a nothingburger that will go nowhere. That Barr is entertaining this at the command of Trump is another signal that he is Trump’s lawyer, not the people’s.

The Democrats have to be losing their minds. Look at all the tweets attacking Barr. They are scared shiftless. Barr is covering for the president is like saying Trump colluded with Russia. We all know how that turned out. I feel sorry for all these Democrat supporters.

Good! It’s about bloody time! Find out who started this Trump Russia BS from the beginning and escort them to jail!

Big jackass puppet.

Russiagate: Protect Clinton, Frame Trump. NeverAgain • Clinton Paid 4 It • Obama Knew It • Brennan Knew It • Clapper Knew It • Lynch Knew It • Comey Knew It • McCabe Knew It • Ohrs Knew It • Harry Reid Knew It • DNC Knew It = CoConspiracy FusionCollusion

AG Barr’s performance today reminded me of Nixon’s AG John Mitchell, who ended up in jail. Not saying Barr committed a crime but he sure established himself as a tool of the POTUS. He stonewalled Congress to use Watergate vernacular! -John Dean

Where the buck stops...

Origins? Trump's intriguing friendships with dictators around the globe.

Whose gonna pay for this shitshow?

Pls correct your typo it’s the “oringes” that the President asked for, my auto correct is getting very mad at me right now

The fox guarding the henhouse.

So what you’re saying is he’s a total flack for trump?

Turning law & order into a joke

Second days are hopeful...

You lost your time. You won't get something because there're nothing to fine team or not.

There’s a good boy.

Drunk Papadopoulos in England, case closed.

The oranges?

I think Barr should make an appointment with Dr. Pimple Popper. 😬

Once America finds out how this started, Trump is going to look much, much worse. Bring it on.

It's too late for this guy. Releasing the Mueller report has taken too long and this has caused him to loose all credibility and leave us with suspicion.

It is getting good. About time, the abuses of those in powerful positions get revealed, hold them to account!

WE MUST KNOW THE ORANGES! WHAT ABOUT THE ORANGES?!

Barr is obstructing justice by not releasing the Muller report to Congress.
