Durham moving ‘full-throttle' on Russia probe review, top federal prosecutors involved: sources

[Fox News] U.S. Attorney for Connecticut John Durham is going "full throttle" with his review into the origins of the investigation into suspected Russia-Trump coordination in the 2016 election, with additional top prosecutors involved in looking at different components of the original probe, sources told Fox News.

Two sources told Fox News that Jeff Jensen, the U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Missouri who was tapped by the Justice Department in February to review the case of former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn, is continuing to help with Durham's investigation even after the DOJ's move last week to drop the case against Flynn.

The sources told Fox News that interim U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Timothy Shea is also assisting with components of the investigation.

"They farmed the investigation out because it is too much for Durham and he didn't want to be distracted," one of the sources told Fox News.

"He's going full throttle, and they're looking at everything," the source told Fox News.

The Justice Department declined to comment on Jensen and Shea's involvement. Any indication that Durham could be building a case against anyone involved in the original Russia probe, however, is sure to inflame tensions between the Trump administration and congressional Democrats -- who already are ramping up accusations that these Justice Department reviews have become politicized. They slammed Attorney General Bill Barr for the DOJ's decision Thursday to drop the Flynn case.

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold
"Nad-Less"
Nadler, D-N.Y., who was a key figure during Trump's impeachment proceedings, called the decision "outrageous."

"The evidence against General Flynn is overwhelming," Nadler, D-N.Y., said in a statement. Nadler and Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee on Friday also formally requested that Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz launch an investigation into Barr's "pattern of conduct that includes improper political interference."

The DOJ determined that the bureau's 2017 Flynn interview -- which formed the basis for his guilty plea of lying to investigators -- was "conducted without any legitimate investigative basis."

#4 I don't wanna hear about him moving full throttle. I'm sick and tired of hearing things like this. I want indictments. I wanna see Comey doing the perp walk. I wanna see Brennan in an orange jump suit. I wanna see Stzrok in chains. I wanna see Obama in handcuffs.

#5 Yep. Until I see them frog marched out of court after a guilty verdict, this is all kabuki theater.

#6 Full throttle? Seems to be turtle speed. Speed it up some more, mash that accelerator down thru the floor--don't spare the horses.

#7 If Fatty thinks the evidence against Flynn is overwhelming, he's going to get the big sads that all those transcripts are publicly available. It's nice to see them sweat, though.

Going forward I wonder how long it is until somebody goes for a late night canoe trip on the Chesapeake, you know, from the William Colby Pier.

#8 All I can say is, if you were like me, a really bad person, it would be worth the $ to rent four or five black suburbans to park outside these DS asshole's homes. Do 4AM *knocks* on the front door every couple mornings
