she was persuaded by john durham to come back to washington and the justice department to help him outgation of the origins of the trump/russia probe. durham was appointed by william barr. according to this story, dannehy quietly resigned from the justice department last night and sent an e-mail to colleagues and didn't message anything about the investigation. they're quoting sources close to her, she resigned part that barr was pressuring durham and other context here is that in an interview with our own pete williams this week, barr was asked whether he was considering issuing an interim report on durham's findings before the election and barr would not rule that out. we have been chasing for a few days a tip that barr was pressuring durham to issue an interim report from the election. that's unconfirmed. that's the context in which this report is emerging. that durham's top aide has resigned. >> i apologize, i haven't had a chance to read the article yet, i'm relying on you and in case you don't know this, do we know fact in the article there's any spelling out what that pressure m

." >> but first, this breaking news and my take, it is unlikely that we will get a john durham interim report on any indictments before the election. now, just 37 days away, a debate has begun within the department of justice, as the timing of john duran happen's criminal investigation conclusion. i'm being told by sources it is now too close to the election, and could be viewed as political ly motivated. however, i can confirm durham's investigation is significant and it is expanding, reports friday that durham has expanded the scope of his investigation to include the clinton foundation donation while clint ing was sitting secretary of state. the same group member the fbi was leading these two investigations led by former fbi agent peter strzok. he was off seeing both investigations, one into the clinton use of an unsecure server, and one into donald trump's alleged collusion. they were treated extremely differently even though there was no evidence found of wrongdoing for trump, and gross negligence found in clinton's handling of her unsecured server again i believe based on my conv

a top deputy to john durham, he's the individual hand picked to run at least the third, perhaps there are more than that, investigation to the origins of the russia probe. what makes the durham investigation different is, one, it is criminal and, two, he's had a buddy for at least some of the evidence-gathering missions he's been on. bill barr accompanied u.s. attorney john durham to italy to gather evidence about the origins of the russia probe. we know that former cia director john brennan has been interviewed by the durham investigation, as have others in gathering intelligence and evidence that warned about the 2016 attack by russia on the 2016 election. his top deputy, john durham's top deputy, has stepped aside at least in part based on reporting in the "hartford courant" because of the entering of political pressure in the timing of their report. frank figliuzzi? >> so i am with chuck's earlier statement. this resignation of nora dannehy, a trusted, respected career prosecutor, tells us a whole lot more about attorney general barr than it does about john durham, her boss in the

she worked with john durham.about her until yesterday probably nobody knew her name. but what we want to know is, why did she resign and is there pressure for -- coming from barr to john durham to release this so-called investigation into the russia investigation before the election? >> i think the short answer is that we don't know for certain yet. but nora dannehy, a long-time career law professor of john durham's had left the justice department and came back at his request and got involved in, as you point out, the so-called durham investigation, the investigation into the origins of the russia investigation. it is unusual for someone of her stature and seriousness to come back into doj to work on an investigation and then to leave doj just weeks before it comes to fruition. so that's a little bit of a red flag here. but the reality is, there's been a lot of reporting from barr's mouth itself that he expects to release an interim report on the durham investigation. that would be highly unusual this close to an

>> i'm very disappointed that we are not getting indictments from john durham before the election.ust the clinesmith indictment shows you've got more people of that have committed crime at the fbi than you ever had in the trump campaign or the trump white house. but remember, lou, it was myself and jim jordan and mark meadows who back in 2017 said that we needed a special counsel to investigate the activities of hillary clinton. and had we done that, we would have known what john ratcliffe just told us well before, but we have the spineless speaker, paul ryan, who blocked us at every turn. you know, he acted like we were the tinfoil hat-wearing crazy republicans, but the reality is we were telling the american people the truth, people in washington on both sides of the aisle were lying to the american people, and now we know exactly where the russia hoax began, exactly what the purpose was. and you know what? this mail-in ballot nonsense, the ballot harvesting, that's the new russia. they're going to use ballot harvesting to try to delegitimize what will almost certainly be a win f

i mean, there is concern that john durham is dragging his feet. me we haven't heard from durham? and walk us through being a target versus a witness and what john brennan is saying now. he just interviewed with john durham. >> yeah. i mean, those are words that the bureau and the department throw around. my experience as a pros you cue tore is your take -- prosecutor is your status can change in an instant. you can move from being a witness to a target. i understand the pr machine wants us to believe he's not a target. that status can change. you're one document or one false statement away from going from one to the other. so with respect to durham, my expectation is that he is going to access documents that ratcliffe and i never got to see, he's going to access documents that the fbi never shared request congreswith conge the definitive accounting of what happened. whether or not there will be more indictments or not. i don't know. i like to assume there will not be. that puts me in a small minority. i'm assuming the clinesmith indictment will be

, and that makes this election all the more important because if democrats get control, i think john durhamecticut, and we won't hear anything more about this. lou: well, if that's the case, then it's entirely possible that the dems have again stolen another election, because this is an important component. and if that is the case, the american people, there is no reason to respect anything in this government whatsoever. it's outrageous. your thoughts as you, you get the last word on this one. >> listen, it's funny, the trump administration has the ability to release all these documents, and yet the bureaucrats have been able to thwart that time and again at the state department, at the justice department, at the fbi. the president's own administration has been one of the reasons why this has been slow-walked, because the bureaucrats own more of the government than the people who are elected to run it. lou: can the president release these documents and declassify everything associated with obamagate? >> ric grenell showed in four weeks what can be done when someone takes control. i've sugge

we'll see what john durham has to say about this. >> that's right.s the bottom line and some people in the fbi wanted it to be true. maria: go ahead. >> some people in the fbi wanted that document to be true. that's the fundamental problem. and it wasn't. maria: fundamental problem, but is that criminal? >> well i think it is. certainly when you lie to a court it is. when you knowingly lie to a court it is, and we'll learn more. i have a feeling that there are things that they did that we don't even know about yet that are far worse than what's been publicly revealed we'll find out it's just a feeling but given some of the body language i'm seeing i have a feeling that the some of the conduct goes beyond anything, any of us know yet. maria: so should there be indictments then? >> well that's what the prosecutor's office is looking at now, and ultimately i believe that already a couple people is plead guilty to charges and usually when you plead guilty to charges it's because i'm speculating but it's because you're cooperating so i anticipate that we'

lou: attorney general william barr said there could be more criminal charges and john durham's obama case investigation. bar would not talk about where durham is in his investigation or whether anything else will be made made public before the election. you notice the justice department where truth goes to die. joining us is congressman devin nunes ranking member of the house intelligence committee and author of countdown to socialism available for pre-order now been recommended to you highly. congressman is great at be with us. i want to be encouraged by the attorney general's comments that there could be more coming from durham but i am at this point i am absolutely skeptical of anything the justice department doesn't certainly in any manner a timely result. your thoughts. >> you are right to be frustrated because justice delayed is justice denied as the old saying go and it's been way too long. this has been going on for far too long but you have to remember on the other hand this is a sprawling conspiracy involving many departments and including the dnc, the clinton campaign. ther

a top official working for federal prosecutor john durham who was conducting the probe of the russia investigation for attorney general william barr has resigned according to a spokesman for the u.s. attorney's office in connecticut. the newspaper that broke the story cited colleagues saying she was stepping aside out of concern there was pressure to release a report for political reasons. cnn has not independently con piconen john firmed. we know the president has been eagerly anticipating the report. he would like that report before election day. we'll see if he gets it. >> we'll see. thank you very much. let's get some more now on the state of the pandemic as the u.s. death toll rises above 192,000. nick watt is if los angeles. as we heard from dr. fauci in the last hour, the country is in this crisis right now for the long haul. >> reporter: wolf, it's been six months now since the world health organization declared this pandemic and the u.s. is leading the world by far in confirmed cases and deaths. it's not just because this is a big country. european union, 100 million more li

your thoughts about john durham. we don't know if it's true, but the reports continue that he will not be producing either charges or any kind of interim report. and, most importantly for you and for your client, what is next? >> i'm appalled we have no indictments get from mr. durham. as long as this has gone on and as much evidence has been apparent, there could have been some significant charges brought and producedded even more charges because people apparently don't cooperate until they know their livelihoods are in the lines of fire. and what's next is judge sullivan will be ruling, he said, with dispatch, whatever that means since it hasn't happened yet, and we will be filing a motion to disqualify him within the next few days that adds from the transcript today and other things that have happened since the rehand. there's no way the d.c. circuit should have allowed him to continue to preside over this case after he became an active litigant personally against the man whose case he was presiding over. lou: it'

i don't recognize the john durham i have seen throughout the probe. this report is nothing without his name on it. a fingerprireport from bill bar credibility. i hope he sees his reputation is on the line and won't put his name on something as political as what bill barr wants to do. >> thank you to both of you for giving us clarity on the topic. we appreciate it. coming up, the west is literally on fire. washington's governor says we need to stop calling them wildfires and start calling them climate fires. it is climate change creating the tinder box conditions. ♪ here? nah. ♪ here? nope. ♪ here. ♪ when the middle of nowhere... is somewhere. the all-new chevy trailblazer. ♪ that life of the party look walk it off look one more mile look reply all look own your look... ...with fewer lines. there's only one botox® cosmetic. it's the only one... ...fda approved... ...to temporarily make frown lines... ...crow's feet... ...and forehead lines... ...look better. the effects of botox® cosmetic, may spread hours to weeks after injection, causing serious symp

about to the doj inquiry into the russia investigation, "the new york times" also reported that john durham and his probe looking into the president's favorite political enemies, the clintons, this is part of a promise from the president to, quote, investigate the investigators. but we're starting to see some, you know, rumblings if you will among career prosecutors at the doj about this. and as a result of this. >> yes, so it's interesting, you know i think there was a worry that barr was going to issue some big report right before the election or that john durham himself would come out with a string of prosecutions before the election that would benefit president trump and i think what we're seeing instead actually is information coming out slowly over time in almost rhythmic fashion leading up to november 3rd that undermines the results of the russia investigation. but the validity, should that investigation been launched at all. there's world pre-pandemic and a world pre-george floyd. but i think that in the last few months we have seen the russia investigation as an issue in the backgr

attorney john durham. a.g.public will hear anything about a report from john durham prior to the november election. republican senator chuck grassley getting real fired up telling us last night he believes general flynn was entrapped by the fbi according to government documents and he wants people who violated the law in the trump russia and flynn probes prosecuted. watch this. >> to show you there is unequal justice here in washington, d.c., mccabe lied two or three times. he has never been prosecuted. flynn was entrapped and prosecuted, probably cost him millions and millions of dollars to defend himself. i wish i could tell you when durham is going to do more prosecution like the one he already prosecuted, but i want to make very clear, i would like to have people violated the law to be prosecuted but the most important thing is, between now and november 3rd, all of this information ought to be out for the voters consideration how unjustly the trump campaign was spied on in the first place. and all of the un

we talked about the justice department and about john durham and his investigation. durham will do what nora dennehey did they'll stand up and say no if they have to. >> neil, to matt's point, there's something different between losing enthusiasm and staying home and being so alarmed and so frightened for the country that you put your face and reputation and career in a political ad for the other party. it is an unbelievable degree of alarm. my concern that it's coming so late that a lot of people are voting, but all the calls about the danger that donald trump represents to this country, all those calls are coming from inside the house >> nicolle, it was once said wisdom come so rarely to folks even if it's late, just take it. i'm glad it's coming today isn't by any stretch the only example last week a person at the department of homeland security, a senior official said he was pressured to minimize threats about russia to the election in order to help donald trump he became a whistle-blower for that reason. it's not just people who left like this official it's even

attorney john durham, one of durham's top prosecutors has now just resigned. i want to go to our senior justice correspondent. what do we know about why she has made this decision to resign? >> reporter: her name is nora dannehy. she's a very seasoned prosecutor. she was one of the top prosecutors working with john durham doing this investigation of the origins of the trump/russia investigation, and the u.s. attorney in connecticut is now confirming that she has resigned. "the hartford" newspaper is citing colleagues to dannehy who say that one reason why she's leaving is because she feels that there is political pressure for the durham investigation to produce something. something of value that could be helpful to the president before the letter. and, again, that is something that "the hartford" currently is reporting. we have not confirmed that. we don't know exactly why she's leaving. but the political pressure on this investigation has been obvious. the president keeps bringing it up. the attorney general bill barr keeps bringing it up. and one of the thin

for that he tapped a guy named john durham to conduct the investigation.report could be released in october. today we are learning that a top aid to john durham, a woman named nor ra denahe who has been working on this report has resigned. she has quietly resigned at least partly out of concern that the investigative team is being pressed for political reasons to produce a report before its work is done. this is remarkable because usually when people that high up resign as we have seen over the last few months it's a pretty big flag that something is wrong. served as a federal prosecutor for 11 years in the southern and eastern districts of new york. great to have you, barrett. >> yeah. >> let's start with the fact of the resignation. we saw resignations from some of the line of attorneys who took their names off briefs from roger stone when the sentencing investigation was overturned. how big of a deal is it for someone to do that? >> it's a huge deal, and it's very rare. i think of the entire time that i was an assistant united states attorney, i never h

attorney john durham may be on the verge of releasing an interim in his criminal inquiry into the trumpussia prone. we'll talk to former house oversight chair jason chaffetz about what could be coming. >>> plus this story, news breaking in the fight over democrats shutdown orders. a federal judge has stuck down as unconstitutional the democrat governor of pennsylvania's covid-19 restrictions, again saying they're unconstitutional. they force people to stay home and much more. this after president trump was criticized for holding a rally in pennsylvania. look who is with us, trump 2020 senior advisor steve cortez with us tonight. >>> we're going to talk to theologian jonathan morris about the deafening silence from faith leaders not talking to their conversations about the violent riots that destroyed so many lives, left some shot dead, so many copes shot and burned businesses and communities to the ground. are faith leaders failing the victims? are they failing their congregations. are they failing the perpetrators not doing enough to say stop it? not being honest with anybody, critics

i think you right, that's what he did as prosecutor that worked for john durham. retain some hope, maybe it's naive hope that that's what's john durham is going to do, he's not going to allow his name to be used this way but i think the worry is the closer we get to the election, the more barr's authoritarian instincts are going to be unchecked and unhinged he's not the same guy we saw a year and a half ago. the bill barr spinning the mueller report -- he was careful lying by omission. he was hanging his statements on that's not true anymore. the closer we get to the election i worry a lot about what he will do with maybe not the career prosecutors but with the political appointees, either as we get closer to an election or in the aftermath with very close ballot counting. >> matt miller, thank you so much that is "all in" for this wednesday night. "the rachel maddow show" starts right now. good evening, rachel. >> good evening, chris, thank you, my friend. >> you bet. >> thanks to you at home for joining us this hour let's just jump right in there's a few things

we'll see what john durham has to say about this. >> that's right.some people in the fbi wanted it to be true. maria: go ahead. >> some people in the fbi wanted that document to be true. that's the fundamental problem. and it wasn't. maria: fundamental problem, but is that criminal? >> well i think it is. certainly when you lie to a court it is. when you knowingly lie to a court it is, and we'll learn more. i have a feeling that there are things that they did that we don't even know about yet that are far worse than what's been publicly revealed we'll find out it's just a feeling but given some of the body language i'm seeing i have a feeling that the some of the conduct goes beyond anything, any of us know yet. maria: so should there be indictments then? >> well that's what the prosecutor's office is looking at now, and ultimately i believe that already a couple people is plead guilty to charges and usually when you plead guilty to charges it's because i'm speculating but it's because you're cooperating so i anticipate that we'll see some criminal c
