Scoop: Prosecutor John Durham, appointed 5 months to investigate the origins of the Russia probe, has not requested interviews with any of the FBI or DOJ officials who were involved in opening it. So what exactly are Durham and Barr looking at? I examine:
Justice Department hasn’t interviewed key Russia probe witnesses

John Brennan and Carter Page haven’t been contacted either.

Combined with reports that Barr has traveled with Durham internationally seeking evidence from the U.S.’s closest intelligence allies, Durham’s apparent lack of interest in the FBI at this point suggests that...
..he and Barr are focusing on examining the intelligence community’s role, and, in accordance with Trump’s desires, looking at whether the help provided by U.S. allies in the Russia probe, including the U.K., Italy, Australia and Ukraine, itself constituted foreign interference.

We know Russia operates this way.

I'm sure it has happened in the US but I doubt it would be as frequent. So more US politicians were vulnerable to such a thing.

Maybe it's just money like the bundle they sent Moscow Mitch's way.

Go back to 1974 with what we know about Trump's conduct now. It's game over. But today, the GOP is so corrupt, the odds are against ever impeaching Trump.
