Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Dick Durbin, R-Ill., announced that the committee led by Democrats will "take a hard look" into "alleged misconduct" by Special Counsel John Durham as he conducts an investigation into the origins into the handling of the Trump-Russia investigation by law enforcement and intelligence agencies.
In a statement Monday, Durbin referenced a New York Times report that included details about the opening of and actions taken during the investigation led by Durham after he was appointed by former Attorney General Bill Barr, which Durbin framed as "abuses of power."
"These reports about abuses in Special Counsel Durham’s investigation—so outrageous that even his longtime colleagues quit in protest—are but one of many instances where former President Trump and his allies weaponized the Justice Department," said Durbin.
"The Justice Department should work on behalf of the American people, not for the personal benefit of any president, he said.
The New York Times report from last week claimed that there were "strained justifications" for the opening of the probe, which then became "roiled by internal dissent and ethical disputes."
"As we wait for the results of ongoing internal reviews, the Senate Judiciary Committee will do its part and take a hard look at these repeated episodes, and the regulations and policies that enabled them, to ensure such abuses of power cannot happen again."
It remains unclear if the "hard look" mentioned by Durbin entails hearings or other committee actions.

Boy, that's rich.
It is not that you can prove it true, but, that you believe it true. That is the Bolshekrat way.
Last I saw Durham I saw him doing a television show called “Myth Busters”.
Making it clear that any prosecutor who helps the GOP will be vigorously investigated, and, if possible, bankrupted and imprisoned.
“Why? So far Durham has produced nothing.”
...yep!
“They are scared again. Good.”
They need to be scared 24/7/365 for at least the next two years.
.
Durham immediately hired a woman he was very close to and put her in charge. She was a vocal Trump Hater.
She quit just before the first Election they sat thru.
To that point, the only thing they had done was when a guy knocked on his office door - wanting a Plea Deal.
Oh yeah, Durham charged a guy that threatened Schiff on the Internet.
Durham has been in business (if you could call it that) for like 1,250 days, and there hasn’t been a single Raid.
He had to start with some crazy theory that the FBi was duped and lied to by people with obvious motives to lie.
He’s a Joke.
No flipping, No Raids, No Interest
.
I think he’s spent.
Rigged "elections" have consequences...
And that’s when I stopped reading the article.
I’ve seen no evidence that Durham is still alive.
L
Spending more of the taxpayers money on crap that won’t change anything.
He should have charged Schiff with treason. And a lot of others.
.
.
Very True.
Biden ordered raid for his junkies Diary and laptops though.
Durham couldn’t muster the courage to have one little raid, and he wrote in court documents there were Documents being withheld from him.
.
Republicans suck at this game. I loathe Durbin, but he will show them how it’s done.
When Trump beat Clinton in 2016, Washington DC voted against him 94% to 4%.
That same year people associated with the DOJ that made campaign contributions, gave to Clinton 96% to 4%.
The DOJ is full of permanent democrat partisans and has been that way since Kennedy and Johnson. Most likely longer if go back to FDR and the New Dealers.
It is ridiculous that the executive branch which doesn’t change with elections, gets to permanently be a democrat machine able to enhance democrat Presidents and legislators, while playing “resistance games” with Republican administrations & Congress.
When is this one-sided crap going to be addressed.
