It was reported previously that federal prosecutor John Durham’s look into the origins of the Obama-era intelligence community’s Russia investigation could be focusing on former CIA Director John Brennan. However, the latest reports indicate that the Durham investigation has again escalated:

WSJ also now reporting the shift to criminal. "Change in Status Gives Investigators Ability to Subpoena Witnesses, Use Grand Jury"

Fox News’ Shannon Bream also passed along news that the IGs’ FISA report, which is “nearing completion,” will show why the Durham probe has shifted to a “criminal inquiry”:

Two sources now confirm this to @FoxNews – one telling our @edhenry – "the long-awaited Justice Dept IG report will shed light on why the John Durham-led investigation is now officially a criminal probe"

This all just might cause certain former intelligence community officials to sweat just a little.
