Rep. Devin Nunes said he is concerned that Joe Biden may shut down U.S. Attorney John Durham’s probe into the Russia investigation if he becomes the next president.
During an appearance on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures,” the Republican lawmaker from California told host Maria Bartiromo that Attorney General Barr should set up a special counsel before Inauguration Day to ensure the investigation keeps going.
Durham is looking into the origins of how the FBI’s Russia inquiry began. So far, he has obtained one guilty plea from a former FBI lawyer.
"Now we're sitting waiting for Durham to complete this investigation,” he said. “I think people are getting not only very frustrated but also, there's a growing concern that Durham is not going to come out with anything and then Biden and Obama are going to be back in, and they're going to shut this investigation off," Nunes said.
Nunes pointed out that former President Barack Obama moved just about a mile away from the White House once his second term ended. He alleged that Obama "set up shop" and was helping Sen. Kamala Harris during the Democratic Party presidential primaries until she "bombed out" and he began supporting Biden.
Nunes said it is critical that Barr appoint a special counsel.
"I've been very clear about this," he said. "Every day that ticks by, it's going to become an absolute necessity that a special counsel is appointed on the way out. Now that doesn't mean that Biden wouldn't fire the special counsel, but at least you'd have a special counsel office set up, with money, so that this investigation can continue, because I'm not seeing the indictments that I should be seeing when you take into the account that I've made 14 criminal referrals

Unlikely. Barr already shut it down. Biden would have to restart it in order to shut it down a second time.
Wait..... I thought the DOJ was independent?
Now this one made me laugh out loud
As if there is any real investigation right now
Devin, when the GOP wins the House why not impeach Biden for all his crimes. You have two years to get all the evidence so that the Senate can convict. Payback is a beotch
Sounds like the good Devon Nunes is just doing stand up comedy with
Ing for the SCOTUS show.
‘
Lindsey Graham already shut it down.
Durham hired all hard line Dems.
I don’t think it ever got started in the first place.
Of course he will!
What investigation?
Durham has been proven a lazy deep state incapable of doing his job. He should rot in prison for being part of the coup.
Lindsey Graham already shut it down.
Durham hired all hard line Dems.
Exactly. Disgustingly, Nunes denies us even the truth let alone indictments.
LOL, of course he will. Democrats have balls and a backbone, and will happily exercise every power they possess. If he gets sworn in, he’ll fire him without a second thought.
Durham is smart enough to know his investigation now goes nowhere. It will be squelched if he ever had an intent to find anything in the first place. He will file a toothless report with Barr which will get about 10 minutes of the news cycle and his fifteen minutes will be up
The DOJ is only independent under Republican administrations.
If Biden does shut it down, no one in the MSM will complain.
LOL
Just like fairy dust. Poof!
