    Full Title:
    Trump gives Barr and Durham power to present classified information to grand jury in Trump-Russia investigation

    https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/...rmation-grand-jury-trump-russia-investigation

    Here is the EO:
    Memorandum on the Attorney General’s Authority to Use Classified Information in Connection with Review of Intelligence Activities
    https://www.whitehouse.gov/presiden...on-connection-review-intelligence-activities/
    ....................................
    It looks like there will be more indictments. Not surprised. The whole thing was a lie. They wanted to knock Trump out, and went to extreme measures to make it happen, including breaking the law.

    Time to forgive and forget, sweep all this under the rug and move on - the objective was achieved, Trump will soon be out and sleepy Joe erected into the White House. No need to deal with russkie collusion no more!

    And the upcoming Democratic lapdog of AG will deal with this useless “investigation” most expeditiously I’m sure.

    Putin himself publicly confirmed that he helped Trump get elected.

    If Barr wanted this power, he'd simply ask Trump. It wouldn't make the headlines. And Barr is gone. Who's the new guy? Some Motel 6 franchisee from Dayton, Ohio, isn't it?

    Four weeks and an incompetent AG isn't gonna get you a grand jury much less any indictments. The headline is giving false hope.

    And Trump himself asked Russia to find 30,000 missing Hillary's emails.

    And Obama himself asked Putin to have some patience till Obama's re-elected and then Obama will accommodate Putin.

    Was it Michelle's recipe for bran muffins he had asked for or was it something else? If it was something else, what was it Putin had to wait for?

    I was starting to think I must have missed something! The headline makes no sense at all.

    Well, yeah but it’s a prelude to the sh*tstorm that Rosen is walking into.

    On his way out Barr tempered the expectations he set for the Durham investigation. This EO apparently is Trumps way to racket up expectations again and/or a notice that Rosen will be more compliant than even Barr in trashing the DOJ. Smoke and mirrors for the gullible.

    Special council Jensen pretty much trashed Durham’s investigation with the skullduggery around the Flynn case.

    Apparently Trump’s on another vendetta and likely pissed that trashing people in his private life was easier than his public life. Trash be trash I suppose.

    To boot, Durham has been at it for a year with nothing to show :)

    Trump's pipe dreams are about to get flushed.

    But he has nothing. There's nothing there. This is scorched earth policy, not some serious development.

    Clinton is irrelevant.

    Barr is gone. Trump is gone. Durham has nothing to investigate, and he no longer has a need to stick around. Durham is gone as well.

    You cannot go by what Melania calls Donald in private. She is known to call Donnie "Deek" as in "you Deek, I want a divorce".
