The tide is turning, and some of the people involved in the Russia investigation may be in serious trouble.
The Justice Department has reclassified their probe into the origins of the Russia investigation as a criminal inquiry.
This is big.

BREAKING: Review Into Origins of the Russia Investigation Is Now A Criminal Inquiry
The U.S. Justice Department has opened a criminal inquiry into the origins of the Russia investigation, according to The New York Times. The Justice Department has been conducting an administrative review into the origins of the Russian investigation, but that review has now shifted into a criminal inquiry.
Now that a criminal investigation has been opened, prosecutor Durham has expanded powers to subpoena witnesses and impanel a grand jury, as noted by The Times.
In May, Attorney General William Barr appointed U.S. Attorney John Durham to look into the origins of the Russia investigation. Earlier this month, it was announced that Durham was broadening the scope of the investigation, adding agents and additional resources, and also widening the timeline the investigation was reviewing.

The liberal media will try to downplay this, but it won’t work.
This is real.
