John Durham Must Investigate ‘Unmasking’

Partisans may cheer or jeer prosecutor John Durham, appointed by Attorney General William Barr to investigate how the FBI came to investigate Russian involvement in the Trump 2016 campaign. Of deeper interest to thoughtful people across the political spectrum is the light this investigation may shed on abuses of government surveillance that have occurred under both Republican and Democratic administrations.

Given Durham’s reputation for being both fearless and fair, the U.S. attorney for the District of Connecticut seems ideal for the job: He has investigated government misconduct ranging from the fiasco surrounding Boston mobster Whitey Bulger to CIA “enhanced interrogation” methods.

Abuse of power is what President Trump’s defenders are hoping Durham will prove. They want him to delve into whether the government gave a secret court sufficient background about the political origins of the infamous Steele dossier used to justify warrants for Trump campaign officials under the Foreign Surveillance Intelligence Act. They also want Durham – following up an internal investigation by Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz — to investigate the FBI’s selection of investigators who, in the words of conservative commentator David French (and no admirer of Donald Trump), lived in a “toxic stew of anti-Trump bias.”
