News that Attorney General William Barr appointed U.S. Attorney John Durham to examine the origins of the Trump–Russia collusion investigations has sent shockwaves across Washington.
Simultaneously, it was reported that Barr is working with the directors of the CIA, the FBI, and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence to review the intelligence-gathering techniques used to investigate President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign.
The announcements are significant given the amount of information already known, much of which points to irregularities in the investigations and a severe bias.
