The probe is going so bad that people involved in the Russia investigation are buying insurance to protect themselves from lawsuits from those being investigated.

Take this with a grain of salt as we know CNN is fake news.

LINK

quote:

...CNN has learned some of the investigators involved in the probe are buying liability insurance out of concern they could become targets of lawsuits from those who are being investigated, according to one of the people familiar with the probe. The Justice Department covers legal fees for employees sued in the course of their duties, but some of the lawyers want extra protection.

The Justice Department and special counsel's office both declined to comment on the liability concerns.

Why not just walk away from it if the investigation is going so badly?

I view this through the lense of: what does CNN have to gain by putting this out? How does this help their agenda?

Trying to distance themselves and act like they just report whatever they hear?

1) This doesn't help them. They buried it at the bottom of a HUGE article.

2) They do this so that when it goes south publicly they can honestly say they had reported it was not going well beforehand. Just standard CYA tactics.

I'm certainly no fan, but I would not read too much into this.

CNN has been hedging its position a lot recently regarding RUSSIANS!

So, these lawyers purchased insurance against something that will never happen?

That's strange.

He did not say they are buying insurance because the investigation is going so badly. You added the last part to further your narrative

Well, I mean..........insurance against lawsuits brought by people you're investigating wouldn't be very necessary if you actually get convictions.
