Attorney General William P. Barr revealed Tuesday that he’s appointed another U.S. attorney to investigate requests by top Obama officials to “unmask” President Trump’s former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn.
Mr. Barr said he’s asked John Bash, the U.S. attorney for the Western District of Texas, to look into the unmasking requests. He said that review will be independent of Connecticut U.S. Attorney John Durham’s investigation `into the origins of the Russia-collusion investigation.
“I’ve asked another U.S. attorney to look into the issue of unmasking because of the high number of unmaskings and some that do not readily appear in the line of normal business,” Mr. Barr said in testimony before the House Judiciary Committee.
Then-acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell in May declassified a list of top Obama administration officials who requested Mr. Flynn’s identity during the transition period.
Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joseph R. Biden, former FBI Director James B. Comey, former CIA Director John O. Brennan and former Director of National Intelligence James R. Clapper were among the officials identified in the list.

Yeah - I laughed at the last congresswoman who had the gall to ask him if he doesn’t know how to show good manners to a United States Congresswoman.
After accusing him and Trump of killing the children, etc.
These people make me puke with disgust.
Today was just a Bash Trump/Discredit Barr clown show, nothing more.
No. He said Durham's plate is already full and there were so many unmaskings that it justified a separate investigator.
Is it unmasking if Flynn was directly targeted?
It was a badgering not a hearing.
So does this mean the clock starts over again? When will we actually see something?
Wasn’t it just last week or the week before that the FBI FINALLY turned over documents that were requested a year prior? Can’t blame Durham or Barr, they’re systematically aligning all the pieces of the puzzle........
Folks here need to chill and let them do their jobs instead of piling on along with the MSM........
Can’t blame the Attorney General when his DOJ subordinates don’t turn over docs?? What planet do you live on?
“what exactly POS durham waiting for?”
He’s only got about 18 more months (or less) until the statute of limitations runs out on most of the charges he could pursue. So he’ll have to file something by then or we’ll know for certain he’s just another saboteur.
“I’ve assembled a team to say “Harrumph!” and “tick-tock” in unison!”
I know that Bare is a professional, but if today doesn’t light a fire under his butt to do everything he can to fight back against these phonies, then I don’t know what motivates him for anything.
*Barr
“Can’t blame Durham or Barr...”
Excuse me? The FBI is SUBORDINATE to Barr. He could have marched his fat ass down there and taken whatever documents he wanted and given them to the investigators anytime he wanted.
Mueller and his entire team of Dem lawyers made TONS of money and what did they deliver? Nothing...except for that raid and imprison a few innocent men. Good work if you can get it.
It appears that every attorney at the DOJ is corrupt.
I live on planet Realville dude. How long did it take Gen. Flynn's attorney Sidney Powell's attorney to finally get the notes exonerating General Flynn?.
Why has the deep state FBI been dragging their feet in cooperating with Barr? And why did it take so long before this revelation?

Try this article on for size dude, how long did it take before Durham was finally able to dig beneath the Deep State Steele dossier?
Gowdy has said the GOP knew in 2017 the FBI was lying to Congress about Obama era Fisa abuses. And what did they do about that? NOTHING.
If Durham is now “finally able to dig” it’s only because the GOP controlled Congress gave top cover to Mueller’s thugs for years and thereby obstructed genuine investigation of Obama era crimes.
Provably, this is a bipartisan and ongoing coup against POTUS.
I plead my ignorance here, who controlled the House of Representatives back in 2017 that would have really given a shit and could have done something about it?......Democrats?......LOL!
that's right, Democrats controlled the House in 2017. Paul Ryan blocked all subpoenas. Ryan is not just any ordinary RINO
and STILL not one of these democrats criminals have seen a minute in jail
Can you delay this any longer Mr. Durham Mr. Barr?
NO confidence in anything federal Gubmint.
