Opinion | According to longtime Fox News personality Sean Hannity’s website, “The US Attorney in charge of the Justice Department’s investigation into the questionable origins of the Russia-Trump collusion probe is reportedly ‘dialed in’ on his quest to ‘get to the bottom’ of the ongoing FISA scandal.”
“The Connecticut U.S. attorney assigned by Attorney General Bill Barr to investigate the origins of the Russia probe is ‘very dialed in’ and ‘asking all the right questions,’ according to multiple sources familiar with the matter,” Fox News reported.
“Fox News has learned that Durham has been getting briefed on the ‘four corners’ of the investigations into the FBI’s use of Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrants, among other issues. Barr appointed Durham, 68, last month,” the Fox article continued.
It was just last week that Attorney General William Barr bashed special counsel Robert Mueller’s “legal analysis.” Barr said that the special counsel was able to come to a conclusion regarding an Obstruction of Justice, but they decided against it.
“Attorney General Bill Barr said in an interview that aired Friday that he does not agree with ‘a lot of the legal analysis’ inside Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report and said it does ‘not reflect the views’ of the Justice Department, the latest break between President Trump’s attorney general and leader of the Russia probe,” reported Fox News.
“We didn’t agree with the legal analysis, a lot of the legal analysis in the report,” the Attorney General said. “It did not reflect the views of the department. It was the viewpoint of a particular lawyer or lawyers, so we applied what we saw was the right law.”

The Attorney General continued to say that Mueller could “have reached a decision” regarding whether or not President Trump “obstructed justice” during the nearly two-year long investigation.
“We saw the special counsel yesterday make that statement… He then said he really couldn’t make a decision. Do you agree with that interpretation?” questioned CBS This Morning.
“I personally feel he could’ve reached a decision… He could’ve reached a conclusion. The opinion says that you can’t indict a President while he’s in office.
But he could have reached a decision as to whether it was criminal activity,” Attorney General Barr answered.
