After an initial administrative review, Attorney General William Barr is now conducting a criminal probe led by Connecticut Attorney General John Durham, as opposed to the questionable House impeachment committee led by U.S. Rep. Adam Schiff.
He and Durham are working with a tight-knit trusted group of investigators to control any informational leaks and examining the events leading up to, and the basis for, the covert FBI counter-intelligence investigation, “Crossfire Hurricane.”
