Nunes sees 'challenge' in Garland attempting to 'bury' Durham report
Washington Examiner ^

A top House Republican doubts the Justice Department will allow the release of any report from special counsel John Durham.

Rep. Devin Nunes, the ranking member on the House Intelligence Committee, said Attorney General Merrick Garland "seems to be kind of a puppet for the Left." The "challenge," he added, is whether Garland will "bury the report."

The California Republican made the observation during an interview with Newsmax that aired less than two weeks after a Justice Department official said the agency "agrees" with an order by former Attorney General William Barr regarding transparency for the inquiry into the origins and conduct of the Russia investigation.

“In addition to the confidential report" Durham was required to submit to Justice Department, "the Special Counsel, to the maximum extent possible and consistent with the law and policies and practices of the Department of Justice, shall submit to the Attorney General a final report, and such interim reports as he deems appropriate, in a form that will permit public dissemination," Barr's October order read.

The statement last month by Deputy Assistant Attorney General Joe Gaeta came in response to a letter from Republican Sens. Chuck Grassley of Iowa and Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, who raised concerns about former National Security Agency attorney and CNN commentator Susan Hennessey’s role in the Justice Department’s National Security Division, highlighting her “bias” shown in comments criticizing Durham’s investigation.

23,345 blank pages and probably cost 20 million in overtime.

"Attorney General Merrick Garland "seems to be kind of a puppet for the Left.""

Doesn't seem like a puppet to me, but an eager activist.

Has Durham actually written a report? I figured he’d be sleeping with the fishes by now. The most disturbing aspect of our now Orwellian existence is that not only will present truths be erased, but every truthful document or artful expression of freedom ever created will be banned, then burned. That’s why I don’t buy e-books.

I’m not looking for a Durham report. I’m looking for Durham indictments.

Anything less is iron-fisted tyranny.

What is Nunes smoking?

Durham is Huber 2.0

He ran out the clock purposely.

He did the bidding of the left.

His first indictment was of a guy on-line that supposed made threats about Adam Schiff.

I can only guess that Nunes hasn’t been paying attention. This is like Lindsey Graham praising Chris Wray a few months back.

The bad news is that John Durham is a puppet of the Left.

It’s worse than you know.

While the left is accusing pubs left and right of everything under the sun, the best this guy can do is “seems”?

What a bunch of mealy-mouth losers we have on our team. They have no heart to fight.

You don’t suppose Merrick Garland would harbor a personal vendetta against the Republicans, do you? To leftists, power is everything. If they have power, they will wield it. Don’t really have to be Einstein here.

The pubs yap it up throwing red meat out there, but when push comes to shove, they are too busy with their snouts in the trough to actually do anything.

Confirmation that John Durham does not exist.

After all this time Durham was actually working on the Penske file.

I’ve been worrying about that myself. Merrick Garland will never release it, if it is ever even turned over.
