America's Watchtower

  Quietly, behind the scenes, and with no media coverage there is an investigation going on in Washington. Of course I am not talking about the impeachment investigation because you cannot avoid this even if you try, but rather I am talking about the investigation into the beginning of the Russia investigation and the alleged FISA abuses otherwise known as Spygate.

  We learned the other day that this investigation was expanding because “something substantial” was uncovered but we did not know what it was or who the investigation was focusing on. We still do not know much but we are learning, according to this story, that there was new evidence uncovered in Rome and John Durham was “very interested” in interviewing James Clapper and John Brennan in the wake of these revelations. Here is more:

U.S. Attorney John Durham’s investigation into the origins of the FBI’s 2016 Russia probe has expanded based on new evidence uncovered during a recent trip to Rome with Attorney General Bill Barr, sources told Fox News on Tuesday.

The sources said 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 two Obama administration officials were at the helm when the unverified and largely discredited Steele dossier, written by British ex-spy Christopher Steele and funded by the Hillary Clinton campaign and Democratic National Committee, was used to justify a secret surveillance warrant against former Trump adviser Carter Page.

In Italy, Barr reportedly told embassy officials he “needed a conference room to meet high-level Italian security agents where he could be sure no one was listening in.”

A source in the Italian Ministry of Justice told The Daily Beast earlier this month that Barr and Durham were played a taped deposition made by Joseph Mifsud, the professor who allegedly told ex-Trump aide George Papadopoulos that the Russians had “dirt” on Hillary Clinton. Mifsud reportedly was explaining to authorities in the deposition why people would want to harm him, and why he needed police protection.

Papadopoulos has suggested he was connected with Mifsud as part of a setup orchestrated by intelligence agencies.

  That is pretty interesting right there. William Barr went to Italy as part of the investigation and has come up with something which would appear to provide some evidence of an orchestrated effort by the intelligence agencies to take down Donald Trump and now he wants to talk to two high officials in the Obama administration.

  If you get your news from the mainstream media you might not know it but the Department of Justice is supposedly investigating the origins of the Russia investigation amid the allegations of FISA abuses.

  We heard last week that this investigation was expanding and now it appears as if this is true and that the investigation has turned up “something significant.” Here is more:

A review launched by Attorney General William Barr into the origins of the Russia investigation has expanded significantly amid concerns about whether the probe has any legal or factual basis, multiple current and former officials told NBC News.

The prosecutor conducting the review, Connecticut U.S. Attorney John Durham, has expressed his intent to interview a number of current and former intelligence officials involved in examining Russia’s effort to interfere in the 2016 presidential election, including former CIA Director John Brennan and former director of national intelligence James Clapper, Brennan told NBC News.

Durham has also requested to talk to CIA analysts involved in the intelligence assessment of Russia’s activities, prompting some of them to hire lawyers, according to three former CIA officials familiar with the matter.

With Barr’s approval, Durham has expanded his staff and the time frame under scrutiny, according to a law enforcement official directly familiar with the matter. And he is now looking into conduct past Donald Trump’s inauguration in January 2017, a Trump administration official said.

Justice Department officials have said that Durham has found something significant, and that critics should be careful.

  We have no idea what this “significant” finding was, or if this report is even true, but we do know that people are lawyering up so it sure looks like something might be happening. Unfortunately because this is an investigation into the Obama administration the deep state leaks are not nearly as forthcoming as they would be if this were an investigation into Donald Trump, in fact they are nonexistent, so we will just have to wait and see if anything comes from this.
