Doesn't add up in my mind.

Maybe it has to do with this:
Supposedly Barr hired him months ago!!
Durham is already and has been the US Attorney for the District of Connecticut and has had the authority to empanel a grand jury for offenses committed under his jurisdiction. All Barr did was expand his jurisdiction.
“How can Durham already have a Grand Jury after being appointed only days ago?”
His appointment was just released/leaked in the press. Normally, investigations are supposed to be conducted confidentially, to not alert the suspects, and to protect those who are ultimately not charged.
If the DoJ IG (Horowitz) uncovered credible indications of a crime during his investigation, DoJ policy is that it should be immediately referred to a prosecutor, and not wait until the IG investigation, or report, is finished.
The prosecutor would then confidentially investigate, convening a grand jury if needed, to obtain search warrants or indictments (although judges can also approve search warrants). So for all we (should) know, prosecutors have had investigations underway for months or years.
When James Wolfe was indicted for leaking from the Senate Intelligence Committee in May 2018, it was the first public indication. But the indictment revealed that search warrants (for electronic communications) had been executed on him (and others) in 2017.
