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

Something stinks.
Every month: The Durham report is right around the corner.
You know they found damaging evidence on democrats or the report would have been released before the election.
Was it withheld knowing that the democrats had a big scam in play to steal the election?
A report aiding Trump and damaging Biden would have been a bad career move knowing Biden was poised to steal the election.
Not under JKF, LBJ, or Nixon.
What investigation? Republicans...The Dumb Party
Durham probably shut down his own investigation. After all, what criminal code can he prosecute when all the spying activities were initiated as a policy agenda? “Shame on you for falsifying that FISA application!”
They ran out the clock.
Barr did the “Four Corners” like Dean Smith and the Tar Heels, back in the day.
Sadly, I think you’re right. If Trump should still prevail (hopefully), Durham’s report won’t come out until 2024.
What investigation? If he hasn’t issued indictments by December 15th there will never be any, zero.
The useless GOP..
Duh, Sleepy Joe will shu down whatever’s left of it
Why worry it’s a done deal if Beijing Biden gets in.. It will be over and done with along with the Country.
Nunes... one of the MANY politicians who along the way were always "OUTRAGED".."SHOCKED".. "UNBELIEVABLE"... but did NOTHING to CHANGE a DAMN THING.
He's just another politician who "blows to the galleries" but takes NO action or has any POWER to CHANGE a DAMN THING.
Nunes... just another PHONY politician feigning concern.
Why would they shut it down, it was a sham investigation from the start, a deep state fiasco.
That is the excuse that Durham wants.
Durham had plenty of time to do his work; they purposely he and Barr have done nothing. Trump has not had a Justice dept all four years.
Duh.
I see a rat in that nest.
