Durham Doesn T News Today

investigators who investigated the ties between the trump campaign and russia and beyond. as new york times reports today, durham delivered a report that scolds the fbi but fails to live up to the expectations of supporters of donald j. trump that he would uncover a politically motivated deep state conspiracy. he charged no high-level fbi or intelligence official with a crime and acknowledged in a footnote that hillary clintons 2016 presidential campaign did nothing prosecutable either...

Well, following the 25th call, the t july 25th call, ambassador sondland and volker worked closely with mr.

Of time and money, the john durham investigation is an embarrassment and it should go down as one of the biggest abuses of power and waste of money in the department of justices history. but theres no confirmation bias here. special counsel mueller did an investigation and convicted people. they pled guilty or they were convicted at trial. he established, as did the inspector general, that the initial investigation was opened justifiably. durham doesnt even quibble with that. he says it should h...

To garland to finish up his probe of how the russian probe was conducted is probably the best way to describe that. >> reporter: right. >> a filing was made regarding i guess a perjury charge that they have that theyre going, and this filing has obviously taken off on the right-wing echo chamber to say something that it is not. tell us what it is and tell us what it isnt. >> right. well, theres an analogy being thrown that this is a modern-day watergate and thats an analogy thats not base on fac...

Why? >> because it wasnt relevant. >> did you leak other things to mr. richmond? >> i told him about an unclassified conversation with the president. >> because of the illicit leaking come of the inspector general referred him to the department of justice. yes, for criminal investigation, referral. durham doesnt need a referral because durham in part has the authority and power to convene a grand jury and charges can be made of. by the way. if you feel better, keep telling yourself you are not a...

To investigate forchur at the cia when he was attorney general and so knows durham very well and respected him as i did. i was at the justice department when durham was leading that investigation but the president has a way of chewing up peoples reputations and durham allowed himself to be used by bill barr, putting out that statement to leave a misleading impression of what his investigation has found and if durham doesnt want to follow down the path of rod rosenstein seeing a once respected ca...

He was held up as dont look at theup mueller report, the one i really want to see is the horowitz report. if durham doesnt come up with the kinds of conclusions that theyre looking for, what do you think happens next? >> i dont know. i mean, with the horowitz report, they are not only moving the goal post. they are moving the stadium. now we are going toth focus on durham. when that doesnt produce what they want, they will focus on something else. it wont end until this president is out of offic...

Thats why it has taken so long in part. every turn there is not that transparency and not that level of cooperation we would hope. another interesting point too about durhams probe is he had a broader subpoena power and broader personal power than the inspector general did. thats partly why he is able to on or about taken broader breath of information. people no longer work for the united states which was a limiting factor for the inspector general. >> jason: yes, mr. horowitz the inspector gene...
