Attorney General Bill Barr just dropped a bomb on the deep state saboteurs who are under investigation for allegedly plotting a soft coup attempt against President Donald Trump. Barr has given John Durham, the U.S. prosecutor from Connecticut, the go-ahead to “significantly expand” his ongoing investigation. But that’s not all. Barr had one more bomb to drop on Barack Obama and his former CIA officials, who panicked and lawyered up. You’ll love this.

AG Bill Barr has Obama’s deep state rats scurrying after he approved John Durham’s request to “significantly expand” his ongoing investigation into the FBI’s “Crossfire Hurricane” investigation, otherwise known as the “insurance policy” by former FBI agent Peter Strzok.

While the Democrats engulf the news cycle with their bogus impeachment inquiry, Barr and Durham have been quietly plodding along. This is the second time Barr has authorized Durham to expand his investigation. However, this is the first time the Department of Justice could not deny this has become a “criminal investigation.”

“Although the probe did not begin as a criminal investigation, Justice Department officials won’t comment on whether it has morphed into one,” NBC reports.

This most likely means it has morphed into a criminal investigation. 

Barr’s DOJ spokesman previously denied this started as a criminal investigation. If Durham had not found any crimes, Barr would have instructed him to wrap it up, not “significantly expand” the investigation twice.

“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.”

The one man who is panicking and burning up his cell phone with calls to his legal team is former CIA Director John Brennan. 

We know Brennan has become the focus of the investigation after it was leaked that Durham’s team is in possession of the cell phone records of Joseph Mifsud, one of the operatives at the very heart of this matter.

Brennan has claimed, along with disgraced former FBI Director James Comey, that Mifsud was a “Russian agent” who started a business relationship with Trump campaign aide George Pappadolpolous. They also have testified that it was Mifsud who told Pappadolpolous he had “dirt” on Hillary Clinton.

Brennan claims Crossfire Hurricane, the counter-intel investigation to spy on Trump, was launched due to Pappadolpolous and Mifsud. 

“In April 2016, [Mifsud] told Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos in London that he had heard in Moscow that the Russians owned ‘dirt’ on candidate Clinton in the form of ‘thousands of emails.’ When word got back to the FBI via an Australian diplomat, agent Peter Strzok officially opened the probe, known as Crossfire Hurricane,” Washington Times reports.

Special counsel Robert Mueller’s report cast Mr. Mifsud as a London-based academic who frequently talks to sinister Russians. Former FBI Director James Comey calls the balding rumpled European a Moscow asset.

This entire investigation by Durham, all comes down to one thing: why was Crossfire Hurricane started? Did the FBI and CIA legally spy on Trump based on credible intelligence? Or was the basis for Crossfire Hurricane completely bogus?

Brennan and Comey have testified they began Crossfire Hurricane after Mifsud, as a Russian agent, offered the “dirt” on Hillary Clinton to Pappadolpous.

The problem is Joseph Mifsud is no Russian agent. He worked for the FBI and CIA. 

However, the truth is Mifsud taught FBI courses and served on a crime and terrorism panel with Obama’s Treasury Department and with former CIA counterterrorism officer Mike Hurley. In fact, Mifsud’s work history reads like a Western Intelligence Asset who was hobnobbing with Brennan’s CIA and Comey’s FBI.

Rep. Devin Nunes, who chaired the House Intel Committee from 2016-18, said Mr. Mifsud “is a former diplomat with the Malta government. He lived in Italy. He worked and taught FBI, trained FBI officials and worked with FBI officials.”

So, we know Durham came into possession of Mifsud’s cell phone records last week, and immediately, John Brennan was panicking on cable news. Of course, Brennan and his lackeys have been telling the leftist media it’s all “bullshit.”

“CIA officials close to the matter claim they made mistakes,” but the IG Report won’t find anything criminal, Politico reports. However, these CIA sources know Barr and Durham are becoming their worst nightmare.

Brennan’s CIA lackeys added, “Which is why [Barr and Durham] have now gone to this other theory, positing that the CIA was engaged in some rogue operation to overthrow Trump and therefore feeding the FBI bullshit. It’s complete nonsense.”

Brennan and his lackeys can call it “bullshit” and claim they were not running a “rogue operation to overthrow Trump,” but unfortunately for them, the evidence says that’s exactly what they did. It appears  Brennan sent Mifsud as his CIA operative to London to set up Pappadolpous so the deep state rats had their “reason” to justify opening Crossfire Hurricane and spy on Trump.

Trump supporters aren’t fooled by the deep state rats’ bogus excuses. We know the truth. 

“JUST IN…. Special prosecutor John Durham has uncovered very significant new evidence. Is it any coincidence that Durham now plans on interrogating James Clapper and John Brennan?” tweeted David Harris Jr.

“Probing a conspiracy theory for which there is little if any evidence. Like a duly-elected POTUS is a ‘Russian asset’? Except there was ZERO evidence, just a Dem-paid for dossier. With more attempts to discredit Barr/Durham, Brennan must be worried,” tweeted Elizabeth Harrington.

“Propaganda Media have gotten wind that John Brennan is the focus of the Barr/Durham investigation. Panic and spin will set in. Brennan attempted (still is) a COUP to frame and remove a POTUS. Brennan is a communist and an enemy of America. What’s the penalty for Sedition?” tweeted “C3.”

Trump claims Obama knew about and approved the alleged coup attempt. 

“I just know that our country is looking into the corruption of the 2016 election,” President Trump told reporters last week. “It was a corrupt election, whether it’s Comey or McCabe or Strzok or his lover Lisa Page. There was a lot of corruption. Maybe it goes right up to President Obama. I happen to think it does. But you look at Brennan and you look at Clapper, and you get some real beauties.”

The Democrats are using impeachment as a way to counteract the outcome of this investigation. They are banking on sweeping Barr and Durham’s conclusions and criminal referrals under the rug. We can’t let them get away with that. The swamp is still full of deep state rats hiding in the dark hoping Trump doesn’t get re-elected.
