Attorney General William P. Barr has held private meetings overseas with
foreign intelligence officials seeking their help in a Justice Department
inquiry that President Trump hopes will discredit U.S. intelligence agencies
’ examination of Russian interference in the 2016 election, according to
people familiar with the matter.
Barr’s personal involvement is likely to stoke further criticism from
Democrats pursuing impeachment that he is helping the Trump administration
use executive branch powers to augment investigations aimed primarily at the
president’s adversaries.
But the high level Justice Department focus on intelligence operatives’
conduct will likely cheer Trump and other conservatives for whom “
investigate the investigators” has become a rallying cry.
The direct involvement of the nation’s top law enforcement official shows
the priority Barr places on the investigation being conducted by John Durham
, the U.S. attorney in Connecticut, who has been assigned the sensitive task
of reviewing U.S. intelligence work surrounding the 2016 election and its
aftermath.
The attorney general’s active role also underscores the degree to which a
nearly three-year old election still consumes significant resources and
attention inside the federal government. Current and former intelligence and
law enforcement officials expressed frustration and alarm Monday that the
head of the Justice Department was taking such a direct role in re-examining
what they view as conspiracy theories and baseless allegations of
misconduct. | Y****w 发帖数: 95 | | z********0 发帖数: 1 | | g**********1 发帖数: 1 | 4 华盛顿邮报挖黑料技术依然全美第一,秒杀纽约时报。 | Y****w 发帖数: 95 | 5 lczlcz是全站最大的傻逼,没有第二。
