Sure it is. It’s a criminal conspiracy at the core. It’s also a crime to misappropriate government funding or power for inappropriate purposes. These are the types of charges hat brought Nixon down. In order to prove those cases, you start with the process crimes, to get the players on the hook. Obviously, after 18 months on the job, Durham isn’t interested in that.
Ratcliffe summed it up Monday when he said as former Director of National Intelligence, he’s seen more than enough evidence to indict many more than we’ve seen. But he inferred that we may not see any more indicted, because those at the top agencies implicated (doj, fbi, cia) are more interested in protecting the agencies, than seeing justice done.
Durham seems to be keeping with that script. So far, he’s indicted a Russian, and a lawyer who was not a government employee. It looks like the only hope we have of him bearing fruit will be if he goes up the Clinton campaign tree, because all the criminal referrals of government employees that were already made, appear to be off limits.
It’s long past time to start cutting the FBI budget and closing FBI field offices. That’s the only thing that will get the attention of the FBI bureaucracy and get them to stop playing partisan games.
