Why are they investigating the "origins"?

U.S. Attorney John Durham To Investigate Origins Of The Russia Probe

First we had the Russia investigation, and now we have the investigation into the investigation. Attorney General William Barr has assigned John Durham, the U.S. attorney in Connecticut, to examine the origins of the investigation that eventually led to the appointment of special counsel Robert Mueller. Here's Barr talking to Congress last month.

(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)

WILLIAM BARR: I think there was - spying did occur. Yes, I think spying did occur.

UNIDENTIFIED PERSON: Well, let me...

BARR: But the question is whether it was predicated, adequately predicated. And I'm not suggesting it wasn't adequately predicated, but I'd need to explore that.

KING: Now, the so-called spying that Barr and Republicans allege occurred against members of the Trump campaign. In me with the studio now is Robert Litt. He's a former assistant U.S. attorney, also a former general counsel of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. Good morning, Mr. Litt.

this is intertwined with "q anon." they want to prove that the election was rigged by a "deep state" conspiracy of democrats and treasonous republicans who know that trump is on to them and broke the law with illegal wiretaps, undercover "spying," and "unmasking" whatever that is.

this investigation will continue (bengazi style) for the remainder of trump's term(s) or until all of trump's deep state enemies (they are said to include pedophiles and other degenerates who hate america) have been locked up.

the "origins" refers to the classified fisa warrant which believers say was based on the steele dossier, which itself is fake news paid for by hillary clinton (or possibly john mccain). if the steele dossoer (which includes the fake video of russian prostitutes) is fake then there was no probable cause to obtain the fisa warrant which would then be criminally illegal.

so ....... if any of that seems to make sense add the pedophile pizza parlor and take a shower, cause it don't make sense.

oh, and george soros.

right up to the election. Trump is going to put Hillary on the ballot in 2020.

The IG is supposed to do these kinds of investigations but Barr appointed a special prosecutor because Durham will report directly to Barr and that allows Barr to tell whatever fable his black heart desires. Barr lies with impunity just like Trump.
