Bondi has a new probe into the handling of 2016 Russian meddling. John Durham already spent four years investigating it.

(CNN) Attorney General Pam Bondi this past week directed federal prosecutors to launch a grand jury investigation into accusations that the Obama administration manufactured intelligence about Russia’s interference in the 2016 presidential election.

Her order bears striking similarities to President Donald Trump’s first term, when then-Attorney General Bill Barr alleged that “government power was used to spy on American citizens.” Barr tapped John Durham to lead what became a four-year probe that faulted the FBI for numerous actions launching and carrying out its investigation of Trump and Russia.

But Durham’s lengthy investigation did not lead to any criminal charges — or allegations of significant wrongdoing — related to the CIA and intelligence community’s role in concluding that Russia interfered in the 2016 election and wanted to help Trump win.
