"Sources told Fox News that Durham was "very interested" to question former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and former CIA Director John Brennan, an anti-Trump critic who recently dismissed the idea. The New York Times reported Thursday that Durham's criminal review has prompted some CIA officials to obtain criminal legal counsel in anticipation of being interviewed.

The FBI apparently obscured the fact that the Clinton campaign and DNC funded the dossier in its warrant application, telling the secret court only that the dossier was prepared at the behest of an unidentified presidential campaign......"

"....Brennan and Clapper were at the helm not only when Mifsud spoke to Papadopoulos, but also when the unverified and largely discredited dossier, written by British ex-spy Christopher Steele and funded by the Hillary Clinton campaign and Democratic National Committee, was used to help justify a secret surveillance warrant against former Trump adviser Carter Page in the run-up to the 2016 election. (The Times' reporting Thursday, which overtly framed Durham's probe as improper, did not mention the Steele dossier at all.)"

".....the FBI told the FISA court it "did not believe" Steele was the direct source for a Yahoo News article implicating Page in Russian collusion.
But, London court records showed that contrary to the FBI's assessments, Steele briefed Yahoo News and other reporters in the fall of 2016 at the direction of Fusion GPS."

Looks like the gloves have come off.........it's gonna get real dirty now. A good old fashioned back alley brawl, and these 'hearings' won't be closed because only the swamp scum have anything to hide. The Dims are scared and that's the reason for the Schiff Star Chamber.

They are grasping at the straws they have banned......they have nothing but 3rd hand gossip and innuendo against the President and his AG and Federal Prosecutor are about to drop a building on them. The IG report won't help them either but it will flush more slimy little creature from under their rocks.

Isn't that where all the best conspiracy theories come from?

but also when the unverified and largely discredited dossier, written by British ex-spy Christopher Steele

How come other media outlets have a completely different view of the Steele dossier?

As as far as I know, the Wiki description has a neutral view. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trump%E2%80%93Russia_dossier

The media, the intelligence community, and most experts have treated the dossier with caution due to its unverified allegations, while Trump has denounced it as fake news.[14] The U.S. intelligence community took the allegations seriously,[15] and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) investigated every line of the dossier and spoke with two of Steele's sources.[16] The Mueller Report, a summary of the findings of the Special Counsel investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. elections, contained passing references to some of the dossier's allegations but little mention of its more sensational claims.[16]

Some aspects of the dossier have been corroborated,[17][18] especially its main allegations, that Russia and Putin tried to prop up Trump over Clinton,[19][12][10] and that many Trump campaign members had frequent secret contacts with Russians,[20][21][22][23][24] however many allegations remain unverified. One allegation was rejected by the Mueller Report.[16] Anonymous sources believe that Russian intelligence agencies may have sought to create doubt about the veracity of the dossier.[25]

Really? You rightists have dropped all pretence of an independent judiciary and appear gleeful at the prospect
of this (accused) sexual abuser and admitted heavy drinker taking personal revenge against those he feels wronged his good name.
Is that the system of justice conservatives now seek?
Don't you dare make squeaking noises if the next Democratic President just adds a couple of justices to the court for no other
reason than because she or he can.

Let's see, Obama had 2,444 students in attendance at that venue so Donny will tell his mob that his 300 (2/3rds of which are Donny's own stooges and so far 10 students) attendees filled the auditorium.

Let's see, Obama had 2,444 students in attendance at that venue so Donny will tell his mob that his 300 (2/3rds of which are Donny's own stooges and so far 10 students) attendees filled the auditorium.

And Obama answered questions from the crowd.

Have you also seen that the Federal deficit has grown to nearly 1 Billion. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-economy-budget/u-s-governments-annual-budget-deficit-largest-since-2012-idUSKBN1X426T.
I'm absolutely sure that certain people have told me that this does not happen when the government is Republican controlled, it's always that other mob the Democrats, who spend money left and right on increasing benefits and healthcare etc.

Surely you don't expect Donny to answer questions too? :-O

Yes, wasn't that another thing that Donny was going fix?

Wasn't he also going the drain the swamp too? But all he's done is just add another level of toxic pollution into the mix. :-(

Ordered to hand it over by Oct 30

Methinks that won't happen, the consequences of being found in contempt are zero. The court has no enforcement power over the Trump's justice dept.

Actually it does. Civil contempt $1,000 fine and six months, criminal contempt is up to life. I don't think the head of DOJ wants to sit in a cell for Rump.
Remember this is a court order being violated, it is no longer just a Congressional committee subpoena.
Of course they will appeal but they won't be successful. They also have a lot more to lose if they appeal, judge's decision also says the impeachment inquiry is legal.
Where it could get interesting is if the head of the DOJ says POTUS ordered him to refuse. Then and there we will find out if POTUS is subject to all laws all the time, because the Judge will issue a bench warrant for him to be brought to the court.

Oh, in civil contempt the court is prosecutor, judge, jury and executioner. Only in criminal contempt is a trial necessary.

Actually it does. Civil contempt $1,000 fine and six months, criminal contempt is up to life.

Gary, who will enforce that?

Trump honored by black leaders with 'Bipartisan Justice Award'
https://www.wnd.com/2019/10/trump-honored-bipartisan-justice-award-black-leaders-criminal-justice-reform/?utm_source=facebook&utm_content=2019-10-25&fbclid=IwAR0QRbxKlWgraD0JHiRVgmFs73YErFGgmnS7TgRu8QsrEBqow3Fj7NONpoA

Trump received applause from the crowd when he noted that the legislation undid what he called the "unjust provisions of the 1994 Clinton crime law."

The law, passed during the administration of former President Bill Clinton, imposed harsh mandatory sentences for a number of crimes.

Trump said the most important way to support released inmates is to help them find jobs. He said the current economy's historically low unemployment rates are helping former prisoners find work.

"They come out and they're being hired and I've had many people tell me -- people that are doing the hiring -- saying these people are unbelievable," Trump said.

"Perhaps our economy is the best criminal justice reform of all.

Much or all of this has been about some sort of revenge.
