Instead, his December 29 call with Kislyak was likely intercepted under an intelligence program not subject to the masking rules, probably by the CIA or a friendly foreign spy service acting in a nod-and-wink arrangement with our intelligence community..
Wouldn't it be a hoot, if in the interest of "being more flexible," it was....Russia?

Now that would be a hoot!

Didn't Barr say today that there won't be anything criminal related to Obama or Biden here?
For the "greatest political crime" in U.S. history - the name of the crime should actually be connected to a criminal.
âBased on the information I have today, I donât expect Mr. Durhamâs work will lead to a criminal investigation of either man,â Barr told reporters. âOur concern over potential criminality is focused on others.â

Senator Graham, what took so long?
The Senate Judiciary Committee will vote on June 4 whether to authorize subpoenas for documents and testimony from more than 50 current or former government officials, including James Comey and John Brennan, as part of the panelâs investigation into abuse of the surveillance process during Crossfire Hurricane.
The committee will debate and vote June 4 on whether to issue the subpoenas, said Sen. Lindsey Graham, the chairman of the Judiciary panel.
Graham is seeking documents and testimony from 53 individuals in all.
Committee rules require Graham, a Republican, to either obtain consent from the top Democrat on the committee or to obtain a majority vote in order to issue subpoenas.
Graham is seeking documents and testimony referenced in the Justice Department inspector generalâs report on the FBIâs Crossfire Hurricane probe. The FBI committed 17 âsignificantâ errors and omissions in applications for surveillance warrants against former Trump campaign aide Carter Page, the report stated.

The FBI relied heavily on the unverified Steele dossier to obtain the spy warrants.
FBI officials withheld information that undermined the credibility of the dossier and its author, Christopher Steele, the IG report noted.
Graham is seeking the testimony of any current or former government official involved in Crossfire Hurricane, or any current or former government official who handled the Steele dossier.
Graham included the following list of individuals he plans to subpoena:
Trisha Anderson, Brian Auten, James Baker, William Barr, Dana Boente, Jennifer Boone, John Brennan, James Clapper, Kevin Clinesmith, James Comey, Patrick Conlon, Michael Dempsey, Stuart Evans, Tashina Gauhar, Carl Ghattas, Curtis Heide, Kathleen Kavalec, David Laufman, Stephen Laycock, Jacob Lew, Loretta Lynch, Andrew McCabe, Mary McCord, Denis McDonough, Arthur McGlynn, Jonathan Moffa, Sally Moyer, Mike Neufield, Sean Newell, Victoria Nuland, Bruce Ohr, Nellie Ohr, Stephanie L. OâSullivan, Lisa Page, Joseph Pientka, John Podesta, Samantha Power, E.W. âBillâ Priestap, Sarah Raskin, Steve Ricchetti, Susan Rice, Rod Rosenstein, Gabriel Sanz-Rexach, Nathan Sheets, Elizabeth Sherwood-Randall, Glenn Simpson, Steve Somma, Peter Strzok, Michael Sussman, Adam Szubin, Jonathan Winer, Christopher Wray, and Sally Yates.

I would say that Barrâs comments should be taken seriously and sets an enormously high bar for those that think this should be big big news.

Barr said nothing about whether Obama or Biden did anything criminal. He said they most likely would not be investigated.
Huge difference.

Huge difference.
I think he said, "at this point in time", they most likely would not be investigated.
He left the door open if something new came to light during the ongoing Durham investigation.

During an interview, Powell asked why the defense, neither she nor Flynn's previous attorneys were given access to the damning Kislyak phone call with Flynn. The fact that the defense is not given access to evidence that may prove exculpatory is grounds for dismissal.

Appeals court: "OK, we'll listen to your objections"
A federal appeals court Thursday has agreed to hear a request from Michael Flynn's legal team to remove the district judge overseeing his case, and has also ordered the judge to explain his controversial and unorthodox conduct in handling it.
Judge Emmett Sullivan has been given a June 1 deadline to respond. The government has also been invited to "respond in its discretion" during that window.
Flynn's legal team had filed a request on Tuesday asking the appeals court to remove Judge Emmett Sullivan from the case, claiming the judge was biased against the defendant. Following the Justice Department's request earlier this month to dismiss the case against Flynn, Sullivan had appointed retired federal Judge John Gleeson to file an amicus curiae brief arguing in favor of not dropping the case against the general.

FBI Director Wray opens internal review into how bureau handled Michael Flynn case
Insight from Fox News contributor Mollie Hemingway, senior editor at The Federalist, and Fred Fleitz, former CIA analyst and former NSC chief of staff.
The FBI announced Friday that Director Chris Wray has ordered an internal review of the handling of the bureauâs investigation into former national security adviser Michael Flynn, which will include examining whether current FBI employees "engaged in misconduct."
âFBI Director Christopher Wray today ordered the Bureauâs Inspection Division to conduct an after-action review of the Michael Flynn investigation,â the bureau said in a statement.
The review will be handled by the bureauâs Inspection Division, the FBI said. That division is similar to an internal affairs office in a police department.
The bureau said the âafter-action reviewâ will have a two-fold purpose: evaluating the FBIâs role in the case and determining whether any âcurrent employees engaged in misconduct,â as well as identifying whether any âimprovementsâ might be warranted to FBI procedures.
âAlthough the FBI does not have the prosecutorial authority to bring a criminal case, the Inspection Division can and will evaluate whether any current onboard employees engaged in actions that might warrant disciplinary measures,â the FBI said.
