Sen. ChuckGrassley & SenRonJohnson are demanding answers from special counsel John Durham about key Crossfire Hurricane figures who refused to cooperate in his investigation and whether he attempted to subpoena them.
Sens. Chuck Grassley and Ron Johnson on Tuesday sent a letter, first obtained by the Washington Examiner, to Durham pressing him on his investigation of the Trump-Russia investigators, noting that “it seems odd that individuals would be allowed to avoid fully cooperating with your office, particularly given your authority to compel testimony and records.
Grassley and Johnson noted that Mueller’s office “issued more than 2,800 subpoenas” and “executed nearly 500 search-and-seizure warrants” over the course of its investigation, but “in contrast,” the Durham investigation “served more than 190 subpoenas” and “executed seven search warrants.” Comey had"requested relevant information pertaining to any presidential candidate” in April 2016, Durham said, and Comey was soon briefed on then-Trump campaign associate Carter Page, and in July 2016, FBI personnel described the Carter Page case"and ones like it" as"a top priority for Director Comey." McCabe told the DOJ inspector general that Comey"was engaging on a very regular basis" with the Crossfire Hurricane team beginning in the summer of 2016.
McCabe, who was hired by CNN as a contributor in 2019, went on Anderson Cooper’s CNN show last week, where he said that he “absolutely” stood by the launch and the conduct of the Trump-Russia investigation, saying Durham had “failed to come up with anything new” as he called the Durham inquiry"not a legitimate investigation" but instead a"political errand" against Trump’s perceived enemies.
The Trump-Russia investigation was opened by Strzok “with the authorization of” Priestap, with Priestap replying “Oh yeah” when asked if he was aware of Strzok and Lisa Page going around him to speak with McCabe directly. Priestap reportedly said this drove him “insane.” Another bureau official said that “Priestap was not in charge and had to get approvals from” top FBI leadership.
