Durham issues fresh round of subpoenas in his continuing probe of FBI investigation into TFG, Russia



Washington (CNN) - Special Counsel John Durham has issued a new set of subpoenas, including to a law firm with close ties to Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign, an indication that Durham could be trying to build a broader criminal case, according to people briefed on the matter. So far, Durham's two-year probe into the FBI's Russia investigation hasn't brought about the cases Republicans has hoped it would.

The grand jury subpoenas for documents came earlier this month after Durham charged Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann with lying to the FBI in a September 2016 meeting. During that meeting, Sussmann handed over data purporting to show links between the Trump Organization and Russia's Alfa Bank. That tip became part of the FBI's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election but the FBI ultimately couldn't find evidence of a link.

In seeking additional documents from Sussmann's former law firm, Perkins Coie, investigators from the special counsel's office appear to be sharpening their focus on the Democratic political machinery during the 2016 campaign and efforts to tie Trump to Russia.

Perkins Coie's clients in 2016 included the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee. The law firm also hired on the campaign's behalf a research company that commissioned the dossier from ex-British spy Christopher Steele that alleged that Trump was compromised by Russia.

They are ravenous for another Benghazi nothingburger to make smoke and distract attention from the actual vile treason the Republicans have been, and are engaged in, with the slimey assistance of their intimate darkside troll cronies in Russia.

This I remember.

In 1993 Kenneth Starr was appointed "Independent Counsel" to investigate a real-estate deal the Clinton's were involved in.

And come (bad pun indeed) 1998 Ken Starr proved that Bill Clinton had received consensual oral sex from Monica Lewinsky.

How did we get from real estate deals to blowjobs you may ask.

Republicans is my reply.
