’s office was already looking into roughly the same thing and is expected to issue a full report soon. How that inquiry fits with Mr Durham’s is unclear. Michael Horowitz, the’s offices tend to operate independently from their agencies.
Mr Barr has taken an active role in this investigation. He accompanied Mr Durham to Rome in late September, where they reportedly received a taped deposition from Joseph Mifsud, a Maltese professor who in April 2016 told George Papadopoulos, a low-level foreign-policy aide to the Trump campaign, that Russia had Mrs Clinton’s stolen emails. Attorneys-general do not do that sort of thing. As one former federal prosecutor put it, “that’s what agents are for.
What Mr Durham is investigating remains unclear. After saying he thought the Trump campaign was spied on, Mr Barr said he wanted to “explore” whether the surveillance was justified. But criminal inquiries tend to require better grounding than this. Perhaps Mr Durham or Mr Horowitz has found evidence of illegal activity; if so, they have said nothing.
Opening a criminal investigation into people Mr Trump has cast as his political enemies—but who appear to have followed genuine leads and uncovered evidence of Russian electoral interference that has led to dozens of indictments and several convictions—could signal a worrying erosion of the’s independence. Mr Barr, who has been a longtime proponent of executive power, may believe that independence only extends as far as the president allows.
And it may last a while. A former federal prosecutor praised Mr Durham for being “very methodical, [meaning] slow.” His inquiry could drag on well into next year, letting Mr Trump contend from the hustings that he is investigating the “deep state” and needs one more term to defeat it."In search of lost crime"
Barry is guilty. Done!
No confusion.
No, no one is confused. is LYING.
This headline puts the Con in Economist
Barr doing Trump’s bidding. Yes my King! I will screw my comrades and friends for you.

So this is a story about confused persons? Who cares about them?

Seems very appropriate to me.
robmir47 This is insane. Barr should be investigated and Impeached just like Traitor Trump. He's tRump's Roy Cohen for sure. ImpeachTrumpPenceBarr
Only confusing to those who haven’t been paying attention.
So the department of justice is sniffing up their own ass with this William bar has the biggest sniffer in history.
Trump looking for that shiny object to distract all of you. Are you distracted, hope not. Keep your eyes on the Impeachment !
Opinion? Journalism? You have left me confused about your reporting.
Most corrupt any regime with HRC in it is monstrously corrupt
They don’t know the difference between the law and their activities to attack a sitting president. Hopefully they’ll find out good and hard!
Confused? I’m not confused.
That’s b/c Barr is a corrupt idiot. Investigating itself on this issue is like eating your own. But it’s consistent with Trump administration which will go down as the most corrupt and criminal in US history.
More were confused when Mueller couldn't find a conspiracy between Trump and Russia that RepAdamSchiff promised existed.
alllibertynews Terrified maybe, confused.....probably not. They know what they've done.
Everyone in the Trump administration seems confused. And that's precisely why they joined the Trump administration.
Distraction ploy.

Confused because they tried their best to cover up their crimes and it did not work. Trump draining the swamp.
Just a bunch of guilty people trying to pass off the blame!
Confused because they thought they are the law
What’s confusing is you not reporting the fact that credible sources have likely found the atrocities of the last election.
They should not be confused. It’s called law enforcement
Well if he actually investigated himself...
....Criminal-Democrat-Globalist Traitors ...about to be 'WOKE'!
The Senate voted him in. Don’t blame Barr. He told us his beliefs.

This is remarkable progress in reverse gear which will make Darwin turn in his grave ( 1809 - 1882).
But this is even before the American independence! That’s leviathan of Thomas Hobbes ( 1651)! It means America has yet to be born about 125 years into the future!
For all their posturing, conservatives have sure proven that they don't care about the law, or even justice.
