Guest Post by Sara Carter
Department of Justice appointed federal prosecutor John Durham’s expanded criminal probe into the FBI’s investigation into President Donald Trump’s campaign is focusing on a slew of government documents that surfaced during the first several months of Trump’s presidency. The documents, which are being kept close hold, were hinted at by Attorney General William Barr in an interview he did with NBC in December and reported on by CBS News Friday.
On Friday, Catherine Herridge senior national security reporter with CBS first reported that a ‘strong paper trail’ of documents is being reviewed by Durham. Those documents span a time period from January, 2017 until May 2017, just before the appointment of Special Counsel Robert Mueller.
However, Barr has already suggested at the expansive nature of Durham’s probe in December and hinted at the discoveries. And in October, 2019 reports revealed that Durham had expanded the scope of his investigation and would investigate not only the origin of the bureau probe into Trump’s campaign but also the post-election timeline.
Barr said in an interview with NBC in December, that Durham “should spend just as much attention on the post-election period” noting that the probe will not just focus on the origins of the investigation.
Barr said he asked Durham to look at the post Trump election because “of some of the stuff that Horowitz has uncovered which to me is inexplicable.”
New Documents As Durham’s Criminal Probe Continues
Department of Justice spokeswoman Kerri Kupec told SaraACarter.com she could not comment on Durham’s ongoing investigation. She gave no indication as to when, or if, a report will be issued on his criminal probe. Barr, who has been given full declassification authority by Trump, eluded in an interview that Durham may finish his probe by Spring or early this summer.
According to sources, the documents already uncovered by Horowitz and the alleged new documents discovered by Durham are significant. Those documents will expose the intent of those involved in the malfeasance at the FBI and the continued operation to spy on Carter Page, a short term Trump campaign volunteer. Further, Durham’s probe is focused on actions of former senior Obama Administration officials that targeted Trump and his team, according to numerous former and current government sources that spoke to SaraACarter.com.
Those being looked into by Durham are former CIA Director John Brennan, fired FBI Director James Comey, fired FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, among others. Durham’s team has already interviewed numerous personnel at the CIA and according to sources “those questioned are very nervous about the direction of Durham’s investigation.”
Durham is looking into the Intelligence Community Assessment on Russia, in which Brennan has stated that the CIA did not use former MI6 spy Christoper Steele’s debunked dossier. Horowitz discovered during his office’s investigation of the FBI FISA review that the uncorroborated dossier was used in obtaining the warrant to spy on Page. Horowitz’s explosive report also revealed that significant information on Page was omitted from the report and that other information was altered by FBI Attorney Kevin Clinesmith. Page had actually assisted the CIA in reporting on Russia – a significant fact that was omitted and changed in the application that was submitted to the secret court.
Durham Probe Expands To Pentagon
SaraACarter.com first reported that Durham has expanded his investigation to include the Pentagon’s Office Of Net Assessment, which contracted former FBI informant Stefan Halper, who had contacts with four Trump campaign officials. The Office of Net Assessment awarded Halper multiple contracts that totaled over $1 million dollars. DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s most recent report described interviews with FBI agents that said it was “serendipitous” that Halper new all the sources of their Crossfire Hurricane investigation. In fact, the report stated that they “couldn’t believe [their] luck” that [Halper] had contacts with three of their four subjects. Those subjects included short term campaign advisors Carter Page and George Papadopolous, as well as Gen Flynn.
Moreover, Barr has already hinted at the fact that Durham has acquired new and possibly damning documents as he suggested in a NBC News interview in December when he said Durham is “looking at the issue of how it got started. He’s looking at whether or not the narrative of Trump being involved in the Russian interference actually preceded July and was in fact the precipitating trigger for the investigation, and he’s also looking at the conduct of the investigation.” Barr also said there “are some things that were done in the investigation that are not included in [DOJ Inspector General Michael] Horowitz’s report. And he’s looking at those things.”
Barr and Durham have traveled to England, Italy and interviewed senior foreign intelligence officials for their investigation last year. Durham’s team is tight lipped about the investigation but according to sources witnesses have been questioned about their role in the bureau’s investigation. Horowitz’s report, which Durham and Barr stated some objections too, did not suggest bias in the FBI’s investigation into Trump and his campaign.
Republican lawmakers strongly disagreed with Horowitz’s finding that there was no bias in the actions of the agents despite strong evidence to the contrary.

Halper and Mifsud are key to the setup that started well before the claimed start date.
The fact is, the Feds spy on us all. They just needed enough legal justification cover to use it publicly rather than privately.
Barr and Durham both belong to the Club. If they are gathering documents and making note of specific illegal activity by any or all of the alphabet agencies, friendly foreign intelligence agencies, Dem and Repub Deep Staters, rest assured that those documents and notes will never see the light of day. There will be no indictments, no prosecutions, and no punishment for the illegal behavior in and around the Trump campaign and administration.
They OWN it all. They have all the Administration agencies, all of both Houses of Congress, all of the courts, and all of the MSM. When Ms. Clinton and her blatantly illegal email/server/misappropriation of classified information was ignored, it should have been clear to all that we no longer live in a nation of laws, and that there is no longer any pretense about it. They didn’t even bother to prosecute a small fish to provide cover for that one. Hell, they found Anthony Wiener (a convicted felon) with a computer hard drive which contained TOP SECRET documents, and didn’t even shake him down!
Nope, all this talk about holding people responsible is a bunch of BS. Barr and Durham is no more going to do it that was Lindsay Graham or Trey Gowdy, or Jeff Sessions, or Horowitz. From Right to left, they are all on the same team, and their team don’t let mutts like you or me play on it.
I tend to agree, particularly about barr-he was a go to guy for ray gun’ s cia director, casey. Not likely that he would have changed his inclinations over these many years. I wish it were not so but the hopum will not bring results.
Another example of the fraud is Huber, who was selected and produced nothing, did not interview people, lost documents, on and on. When he was selected, reports were out there that he was a fixer for harry reid, among others. another case of total fraud on the sheeple.
I totally agree. Is it possible some bigs get taken down? Perhaps, anything is ‘possible’. But you’d have to be a sucker to bet on it. At least since Ford let Nixon off the hook the message was sent out that insiders skate.
I think I’m coming down with Epstein Barr Virus or it could be a case of the Session(s) runs.
Great post Brian!!
If Obama isn’t declared as “Person #1”, then the investigation is a foil and only a few will get pushed onto their swords.
Obama won’t be declared #1. Big Mike is going to run, think how much fun we’ll have with that one.
Justice delayed is justice denied….I have zero faith that anything of consequence will occur…..we had a coup and nobody was held accountable…the coup continues and is “winning”….
The American Collapse is ongoing right now. It is not unlike the Collapse of the Soviet Union, where right up to its end only a few realized it, and chose to tune in and drop out of that decaying society. The American Collapse will be much worse, for unlike Soviet citizens, Americans expect their government to do everything for them. I can understand why the Deagel folks claim that soon, for every 35 people alive right now, only 10 will survive whatever fall.
And water is wet and ice is cold.
“Enjoy the show”
Q
It has already been good and promises to be The Best Show on Earth.
but we’ve got to re-elect Trump so Durham can finish his investigation, right?
If one holds their breath for the duration of these investigations, one will most likely turn blue and die of asphyxiation waiting for one fucking insider to get charged, tried, convicted, sentenced and put away.
IT IS ALL FOR FUCKING SHOW girls and boys.

Its gotta be higher than 34, 34 was like, last year.
Do we count the google whistleblowers wife?
When the truth appears in big headlines on the NYTimes, all the major newspapers, and is all they talk about on CNN, etc. then something good might be in the works. Until then, I expect that every revelation, regardless of how heinous, criminal, etc. will remain unreported to the sheeple, while more and more websites are brought down by the criminal tech cartels, to keep the rest of us ignorant as well.
Oh really? I think Durham has a great opportunity. He has been set up to cover his ass with the latest high tech armor. He has also been given the chance for one of the greatest payoff in history. Four years from now his investigation will be but a dim memory . God, I pray I’m wrong but I don’t think so.
