That is part of the investigation the Dem's are worried about and Barr is talking abut, along with the conspiracy by the heads of the FBI and justice Dept. to stop Trump from becoming president and unseat him after he won.
You mean like this?
What the Times story makes explicit, with studious understatement, is that the Obama administration used its counterintelligence powers to investigate the opposition party’s presidential campaign.
That is, there was no criminal predicate to justify an investigation of any Trump-campaign official. So, the FBI did not open a criminal investigation.
Instead, the bureau opened a counterintelligence investigation and hoped that evidence of crimes committed by Trump officials would emerge.
But it is an abuse of power to use counterintelligence powers, including spying and electronic surveillance, to conduct what is actually a criminal investigation.
The Times barely mentions the word counterintelligence in its saga. That’s not an accident.
The paper is crafting the media-Democrat narrative.
Here is how things are to be spun: The FBI was very public about the Clinton-emails investigation, even making disclosures about it on the eve of the election.
Yet it kept the Trump-Russia investigation tightly under wraps, despite intelligence showing that the Kremlin was sabotaging the election for Trump’s benefit. This effectively destroyed Clinton’s candidacy and handed the presidency to Trump.

So, the advantage of a "counterintelligence investigation", unlike a criminal investigation, is that everything in it is "classified". This wouldn't have been a problem if Clinton had won, no one would have found out.
This was clearly an intentional subversion of the electoral process conducted at the highest level and it's disturbing that so many people are more concerned about Trump.
Absolutely. And Barr is going after it. Nunuez is handing down criminal conspiracy , interfering with an election, abuse of power, and maybe treason suggestions very soon. Trump will be declassifying all the material on the FISA warrant very soon. It will be very interesting to see which of the participants tries for a plea deal first.
