Barr's hand-picked prosecutor said he can't back a 'deep state' theory:
The prosecutor picked by Attorney General William Barr to investigate the origins of the Russia probe said he has found no evidence to support claims that the investigation was the result of a plot by partisan intelligence officials, sources have told The Washington Post.
Connecticut federal prosecutor John Durham was appointed by Barr to conduct an inquiry into the origins of the FBI's probe into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russian intelligence.
The justice department's inspector general, Michael Horowitz, is conducting his own separate investigation into whether evidence available to investigators at the time warranted launching the investigation.
According to the report, Horowitz contacted Durham to ask if he had evidence that refuted his finding that the probe was not launched because of a plot to ensnare the campaign using a mysterious Maltese professor, Joseph Mifsud. Durham has replied that he did not.
