“ Can anyone think of a reason why POTUS might have deliberately held back the Durham indictments? ”
I don’t think that’s POTUS’s call.
Well, ultimately Trump controls the DOJ. Publicly he’s taken a hands off approach, but I think that’s mostly just for optics. Ultimately Barr and Durham work for Trump. Surely there’s been enough time by now for Durham to have at least some indictments ready to be served. Ultimately, if POTUS had wanted indictments by now, I think we would have seen them.
