Was JJ really surprised about Bash? The video is set at an interesting part of the Barr hearing yesterday.

quote:

During a questioning session by Rep. Jim Jordan, AG Bill Barr outlines a secondary, parallel, investigation ongoing by U.S. Attorney John Bash [@01:40 of video]. In his response AG Barr notes the breakout investigation assigned to Bash to review the unlawful unmasking of Donald Trump campaign officials.

Worth noting AG Barr explains the unmasking investigation is not limited to the post election period, transition and incoming administration. The investigation extends further back in the government surveillance of Trump associates in the 2015/2016 campaign. That unmasking could, likely does, include the use of the FBI-NSA database where ‘unmasking’ is an analogous term with”minimization”. {Go Deep}

Yeah, that kicked off a lot of anon speculation, since it was news to everyone (myself included), but further research indicated that Catherine Herridge (as is her custom) was on the mother, back at the end of May.

There are 6 of the 53 US Attorneys known to be involved in various investigations of activities during the previous adminstration.

I realize that JJ is much more informed than any of us, however, many on this forum follow politics very closely and read (and watch) what they can on all things politics. I doubt any of us had ever even heard a rumor about this or had ever heard Bash's name mentioned in regard to doing an investigation into the unmasking.

I think everyone just assumed that it was a minor subpart of the overall Durham investigation.

And, if JJ did know, he should be a shoo-in for a 2020 Laurence Olivier Award for the shock that he showed when he was told about Bash and the investigation.
