CIA, FBI, Director of National Intelligence working with Attorney General Barr to review Russia probe origins

Washington (CNN)Attorney General William Barr is working closely with the CIA to review the origins of the Russia investigation and surveillance issues surrounding Donald Trump's presidential campaign, according to a source familiar with the matter, broadening an effort that the President has long demanded to involve all major national security agencies.

Barr is working in close collaboration with CIA Director Gina Haspel, Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats and FBI Director Chris Wray, the source said.

President Donald Trump often called for the Justice Department and others to review how the FBI began investigating Russian meddling in the 2016 election.

There had been speculation as to why Haspel had been spotted at the Justice Department in recent weeks.

1. I'm pretty sure the origin of the investigation was Trump's team colluding with Russia

They were all working for foreign powers before he even hired them.

[HopeAgain]

2. This is a total abuse of power

And unfortunately it appears nobody is going to stand up for justice.

4. I agree. This will blunt any headlines about the Democrats investigation...

[Eyeball_Kid]

3. That's right, Willie. Appease the evil clown in the White House. Kiss the fucker's ass.

Make yourself the laughing stock of the nation, just so you can keep your miserable job.

[spanone]

5. I suspect they will deliver him a 'witch hunt' and a 'hoax'.

[AJT]

7. The wnner writes history. He thinks 45 will win and he will be hailed as a hero.

15. He's not just kissing Trump's ass

He's all in. He didn't need this job, he's coming in to quash this for the good of the GOP.

6. Their job is to make themselves look bad in the eyes of the public.

Barr is one of the most dangerous and evil person in out government right after Trump and Bolden.

8. This is what Hitler and the Nazis and Stalin and the KGB did:

It is not the crimes of the dictators and their supporters but the honest people who
try to work for the rule of law as "the problem." In Trump's world they along with
some of the media they are the true "enemy of the state."

The 251 proven contacts* between the Trump Campaign and the Russians were the
crooks not the law enforcement and national security agencies who investigated their
actions.

14. Alas true. I fear we are going the way of Rome.

Thank god for other democracies. We may be done.

17. I think it was Steve Colbert who said something like:

So the Federal Bureau of Investigation was in investigating a crime?
So where is the problem? Carter page had been on a watch list from 2011
or 2012 for all his trips to Russia.

9. K&R

[Iliyah]

10. Put the United States of America into a security risk?

Allowing enemy foreign countries free rein over the USA?

I think not. The American people already feel unsecured. This bullshit will only create more fear that our country is going downhill and hopefully the election of in 2020 will vote these mother***kers out.

11. A classic "muddy-the-waters" gambit, designed to blur the issues and claim "all sides are at fault."

Start up so many “anti-investigation investigations” to blur the focus on the lawbreaking that birthed this mess, and, in the process, confuse and enrage a gullible public, to the extent that they lose interest in getting actual facts, preferring instead to allow the ideological cretins at Fox, Breitbart, etc., tell them what to believe.

[spanone]

12. Trump has his attorney general investigating the Obama administration. Third. World. Country.

[VOX]

13. 45 is bypassing the Third World, MAGA-ing toward a Forth World downgrade.

There is not ONE thing about that creature that’s positive or life-affirming. Not even a single cell is inclined toward altruism.

You’re absolutely correct— 45’s compulsion to belittle and punish political opponents is the stuff of tinpot dictators.

What’s really troublesome is that a significant number of Americans think this dude is some kind of heroic figure.

[GusBob]

16. Maybe they should ask the Russians to help them with this eom
