A probe by Attorney General William Barr into the origins of the Russia investigation has turned changed from an administrative review into a criminal investigation, a person familiar with the review confirmed to NBC News.

The review is being conducted by Connecticut U.S. Attorney John Durham. The New York Times first reported Thursday that the administrative review has turned into a criminal investigation.

It’s not clear when the change occurred, but the probe began in May as an administrative review.

The Times reported that the change in status gives Durham the power to subpoena witness testimony and documents, to impanel a grand jury and to file criminal charges.

President Donald Trump has repeatedly called the Russia investigation conducted by special counsel Robert Mueller a “witch hunt.”

Republicans have suggested the investigation stemmed from a plot by members of the Obama Administration and career intelligence officials, in what they call the “Deep State,” to undermine Trump.

Yesterday’s announcement of the criminal probe of the Russia Hoax and the intelligence community Deep State complicity in trying to topple a sitting President. AT LAST a little light at the end of the tunnel.

Maybe We, the People will actually see some JUSTICE done? I CAN ONLY HOPE AND PRAY THAT OBAMA, HILLARY, AND THE REST OF THE DEEP STATE GET WHAT THEY DESERVE: PRISON TIME.

While i truly believe that no one is above the law, and if there have been violations that merit prosecution, they should be prosecuted, what worries me is that this country seems to be in a free fall as a result of the divisiveness precipitated by what are now false claims made against Trump, claims that have been precipitated by the Democratic Party and those who simply have adverse mentalities towards Trump. It is horrible to me to observe the rancor being caused by the hate Trump group, especially since I do not see any rational/meritorious reasons why that hate has generated that divisiveness. Generally, my observation of Trump’s presidency have convinced me that he does care about the people of this country, he does recognize what is best for this country and is not committing any acts that would favorably impact on him personally or his family. I have never seen anything like it. Losing an election should never trigger the adverse conditions that exist today. Underneath it all is the need by those entrenched in the swamp to retain their positions of power and foster their continuing greed, and they are frightened by Trump. I hope that those anti Trump haters are losers in the next election and we then can return to a country that is lead by elected officials that understand that they should adopt decorum and be cooperative and follow Roberts rules of Order to run this country.

i think trump dragged this out so that the findings will get announced next year before the election, with the muslim and killery and every democrat in DC being charged with high crimes against america. now that would be fun, and good for the stock market. keep your powder dry

The case(s)I is so complicated with so many people involved and so many emails, phone calls, and other communication between the conspirators that it takes a long time to assemble and organize all of the data into a case. A prosecutor has to have ALL of his evidence in the proper order to get a conviction, especially in a highly politically charged case(s) such as this.

Unlike Schiff and the other Democrat Socialist, Barr and Durham are not making things up as they go along but are actually investigating and building a case with real evidence. Instead of finding a man and then looking for a crime to pin on a man, they found a crime and looked for those who committed the crime.

Remember Clapper openly admitted on TV that Obama ordered them to initiate the Russia-Trump fiasco.

Gee, why has it taken the Justice Dept. this long to figure out what all the freedom-loving Americans have known since Trump was elected. Every single one of those in the photo above is guilty. Will they ever face consequences for their crimes? Probably not. The black hand is just too strong to let that happen.

It is simple, when you find dog sh*t littering your front yard, it’s time to bust out the biggest rake in the shed.

I wait with bated breath to see some perps frog-walked out of court in jump suits.
