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

All these convictions are making it all so hard to follow. /s
Would, Would, Would, NOTTTTT Will. Either Nunes has given up or Newsmax blew the title of the article.
Is it over and Biden is president???
Duh!
Is every Republican an idiot?
He worries? Does he worry about the sun rising in the East each morning?
Obama backed Kamala Harris during the Democrat presidential until she "bombed out" ....he then began supporting Biden....halfheartedly.
Another of Obama's "bright ideas" was doomed to failure.
In Massive Blow To Obama and Holder, Republicans Handily Won Virtually Almost Every House Race
Key To Redistricting for Obama's dream: a permanent Dem majority
Thegatewaypundit.com ^ | November 20 2020 | Mike LaChance / FR Posted by SmokingJoe
.....one aspect of the 2020 race is being overlooked even though it’s huge. Not only did Republicans make considerable gains in the House, that no one expected, they won most of the races that will entail redistricting. This is like a double loss for Democrats Every 10 years, after the census, congressional and state legislature districts are redrawn to account for population changes. This gives whoever is drawing the maps the power to maximize the number of districts that favor their party — a tactic known as gerrymandering. And as we wrote last month, the 2020 election represented the last chance for voters to weigh in on who would draw those maps.
Both parties went into the election with a chance to draw more congressional districts than the other, but the end result was just about the best-case scenario for Republicans. As the map below shows, Republicans are set to control the redistricting of 188 congressional seats — or 43 percent of the entire House of Representatives. By contrast, Democrats will control the redistricting of, at most, 73 seats, or 17 percent.
How did Republicans pull that off? By winning almost every 2020 election in which control of redistricting was at stake… (Excerpt) Read more at thegatewaypundit.com ...

Lead Prosecutor was a Never Trumper.
Ran the Clock out.
We were played from the beginning.
How will we know?
Redistricting map.
What a joke.
The Durham “investigation” was the Mother of All NothingBurgers.
If it is even still alive, of course it will be shut down. Nothing but saltwater in that well.
Set up a special counsel to investigate the Biden’s corruption.
Shut it down? When did it start?!
Where the hell has Nunes been - he still thinks there is an "investigation"?
Has it even started?
If it is even still alive, of course it will be shut down. Nothing but saltwater in that well.
CIRCA 2019 Obama and Holder take on partisan gerrymandering with redistricting
SOURCE https://www.latimes.com/politics/story/2019-08-27/obama-partisan-gerrymandering-redistricting-u-initiative
Aug 27, 2019 — In one of his first public political actions since he left the White House, Obama unveiled Redistricting U on Twitter as an in-person training arm ...All On The Line, launched earlier this year, is a combination of Obama's "Organizing For Action" and former Attorney General Eric Holder's "National Redistricting Action Fund."
=========================================

CIRCA 2019 Ex-President Barack Obama announced a new initiative that will help volunteers influence redistricting efforts in states across the country. "Redistricting U," an extension of his "All On The Line" campaign, will send trainers to provide free training and tools to volunteers about their state redistricting process, gather feedback on ways to improve their communities and teach them how to be leaders in the fair map movement, according to the initiative's website.
All On The Line, launched earlier this year, is a combination of "Obama's Organizing For Action" and former Attorney General "Eric Holder's National Redistricting Action Fund."
Obama said he has always believed "training is at the heart of organizing." "It's why I made it a priority in my 2008 campaign and throughout our larger movement for change in the years since," Obama said in a statement on the group's website.
He added, "The movement for fair maps will determine the course of progress on every issue we care about for the next decade. And we can't wait to begin organizing when the redistricting process starts in 2021. We need to build this movement from the ground up -- right now."
This is the latest effort by Obama to push for voting reform and fight against gerrymandering. The Obamas have long pushed for increased voter participation and fought against partisan gerrymandering.
Gee, ya think?
