Flustered Rachel Maddow defends Russia investigation as Durham probe shifts to criminal inquiry

[The Purge]

MSNBC star Rachel Maddow was on the defensive Thursday night after multiple reports said the Justice Department investigation into the origins of the Russia inquiry had shifted into a criminal probe.

Maddow, who had beeen the face of MSNBC's coverage of the two-year investigation into alleged collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign, was baffled at the opening of her show Thursday night by the ongoing investigation from U.S. Attorney John Durham, whom Attorney General William Barr had appointed earlier this year.

"This is the news that honestly, we've been sort of expecting for some time or thinking that if things got really bad, it might come to this," Maddow told her viewers. "As of tonight, according to the New York Times, it has come to this."

Perhaps the above explains (1) why DOJ is now investigating its own conduct; and (2) why the investigation is now a criminal investigation

Who cares? I'd rather pick toe lint from my feet than worry about what Maddow says or thinks. She is like the worst news "analyst" ever born.

You mean the GOP led Senate, are following her news?

It is going to be interesting to see how the Deep State, fake news hacks like Blinky Maddow and all the other racist, American hating POS, fake news broadcasters play this. Are they all going to approach it like Prep H deprived, butthurt Penelope and burp out ignorant ad hominems? This is what is scary. What secondary "insurance policy" does the Deep State in the event they are about to be brought to justice...

The timing couldn't be better, for tramp!

Isn't that like the Podesta's dump of the emails right after Accent Hollywood video.

Who dumped her emails? I know WikiLeaks but they work for someone, who??

Maddow doesn't do news. She does propaganda and lies.

Who paid Wikileaks to release them??

 

[Snouter]

Penelope, Wikileaks posted up Crooked Hillary and the Corrupt DNC emails shortly after former DNC staffer Seth Rich gave Wikileaks the smartcard that contained the files. The fake news and the democrats who tell them what to present actually ignored the emails when Wikileaks posted them, but when eventually they acknowledged them claimed they were fake, and then of course claimed RUSSIA did it. Corrupt POS Donna Brazile now on FOX news was heavily involved in that fake news in addition to providing Crooked Hillary with debate questions before debates. Any other questions I can help you with Penelope?

Wikileaks , Julian Assange, stuck at the embassy in Ecuador didn't exist on nothing, he got paid by who now??.

Seth Rich are you really going there, you are lost, get out of the rabbit hole. This is not going to stop the impeachment of tramp.

The Democrats do not have blind love for tramp.

Maddow didn't look flustered or confused. She was wondering on what basis was the DOJ investigating itself. What are the charges? And it's funny how this comes out as Trumps crimes are being described in high definition. This attempt to intimidate others who may testify against Trump is apparent, but you right wingers are too stupid to see what's happening. If Trump was so innocent why all of this? It ain't about draining the swamp because he's had all kinds of corruption on his watch.

The Democrats have a LOVE OF POWER..............by any means necessary........

The Democrats have NO HONOR.
The Democrats have NO INTEGRITY.
The Democrats are Filthy Liars.
The Democrats are a Scourge on this Nation.
No one believes anything you say anymore, except the brainwashed lunatic left.

Rachel Maddow is Pravda on steroids.......No one cares about any comments she makes anyways.

Kim Jong-Un is a stupid fat a$$ and....nevermind, no difference

Intimidating witnesses is certainly part of the deal. If you read the second link provided by the OP, you realize the agenda is substantially broader: The document alleges that the FBI and DoJ had a (Deep State) conspiracy going in order to "ambush" Flynn into lying about his Russian contacts. That's the core of the matter, to discredit the law enforcement apparatus as infiltrated by Democrats / communists / Deep State operatives out to hunt down the Trump campaign / administration. The charge, according to Trump, is treason, and the aim is to make the DoJ Trump's instrument to go after the alleged conspiracy against him, including the Ukrainian meddling into the 2016 election.

How's that for learning all the wrong lessons from McCarthy?
