Here's a quote from Durham's Wiki entry:

John Henry Durham (born 1950)[1][2] is the United States Attorney for the District of Connecticut. He is best known for leading an inquiry into allegations that FBI agents and Boston police had ties with the mob[3] and his appointment as special prosecutor regarding the 2005 CIA interrogation tapes destruction.[1] On November 1, 2017, he was nominated by President Donald Trump to be Connecticut's next U.S. Attorney.[4] On February 15, 2018, his nomination to be the United States Attorney was confirmed by voice vote. He was sworn in on February 22, 2018.

Might be a good guy. At least not apparently involved in the Russian thing. Stay tuned.

“a move that President Trump has long called for but that could anger law enforcement officials who insist that scrutiny of the Trump campaign was lawful.”

Another, less biased way to say this, could be:

In a move sure to rattle lawmakers who may have been involved in illegal activities, President Trump called for a probe into the origins of the Russia probe.

Does this mean that Barr is passing the buck to cover up, or that he’s serious about indicting all the wrongdoing we’ve known about for over two years?

[TallahasseeConservative]

He’s the guy who put John Connolly away. Connolly was Whitey Bulger’s FBI handler and let Whitey skate for years. He knows FBI corruption. That’s a solid pick by the AG.

Inspired choice. Criminal prosecutions to follow. Top guy with a sterling reputation. Game on.

"Barr has assigned the top federal prosecutor in Connecticut"

A US Attorney like that has a big staff of a few hundred Assistant U.S. Attorneys (Federal Prosecutors) at their disposal. He or she can unleash a pack of them, should the situation warrant.

In addition to John H. Durham in Connecticut and John Huber in Utah being assigned by the AG, Jessie K. Liu in D.C. was also referred Andrew McCabe's charges by the DoJ IG.

So three prosecutorial wolf packs might be hunting the same herd. There might also be other US Attorneys involved, who have not been (and should not have been) announced. Prosecutors, once assigned, need convictions to advance their professional ambitions.

Finally. Barr is doing more in a couple months than Sleepy Sessions did in a couple years.

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

Hope he got all the Democrat crooks in Connecticut (a life long job) before he got this new gig.

Hope he’s a Rotor Rooter Man on Steroids driving a tunnel-drilling “Mole” up the Deep State’s ass.

Hey Dems. You’re gonna need more Preparation H!

[HollyB]

Excellent. Between this and Barr not accepting the prior 3rd party inspection of the DNC computers - I’d say it’s a start!

[Oldeconomybuyer]

As I recall, the IG Report that recommend a criminal referral on Andrew McCabe was reviewed for a couple of months internally prior to public release. This new referral suggests the IG has completed the FISA inspection, and it’s bad for one or more high ranking Deep Staters.

We shall see.

John H. Durham is an excellent choice.

And i hope he has an excellent security team, because his life will be in danger.

I have every confidence that he will get the facts very straight, and will indict this cabal of seditious espionage agents weaponized by Obama aginst America.

The trail will be easy to follow, its well worn now by Judicial Watch, and parallel investigations.

[Preachin']

Game on!

[DoodleDawg]

He’s been tasked with investigating along with his other work. He has not been given the powers of a special prosecutor. I don’t think this is a serious effort on Barr’s part.

[gibsonguy]

I want that bastard Weissman’s head on a pike.

Great news

But look how you’ve stirred up all the ‘nothing is happening’ whiny losers....
