Durham Expanding Team, Making Progress In Probe
Newsmax News ^ | 12-14-2020 | Brian Freeman

Special Counsel John Durham is adding prosecutors to his team and making "excellent progress" on his probe into the origins of the Trump-Russia investigation, Fox News reported on Monday.

A federal law enforcement official familiar with the probe told Fox News that it is unclear, however, who those prosecutors are.

Durham was appointed by Attorney General William Barr last year after special counsel Robert Mueller completed his investigation into whether the Trump campaign colluded with the Russians to sway the 2016 presidential election.

Barr then elevated Durham’s status to that of a special counsel, explaining in a letter to the Senate and House Judiciary Committees two months ago that he did so “in advance of the presidential election … to provide him and his team with the assurance that they could complete their work, without regard to the outcome of the election.”

Fox News reported last week that Durham was moving "full speed ahead" with his investigation after Election Day, even though Durham has been silent about the probe.

Durham’s investigation has so far resulted in one criminal charge against former FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith, who was accused of changing an email connected to the surveillance of a former Trump campaign aide. However, that prosecution did not allege a wider conspiracy within the FBI.

The New York Post reported that congressmen have already begun debating how they want Joe Biden’s attorney general nominee to respond to the matter, as his choice to lead the Justice Department will be the only one with the ability to fire Durham or revoke his prosecutorial authority

Does anyone know if Durham has any grand juries empaneled and working with cases? If so, I would feel more confident.

I would imagine that Durham is interviewing for jobs outside of the Justice Department, since he will soon be terminated. I suggest a CNN commentator would pay well and be a nice compliment to his “work”..

Meaningless, especially if Biden is sworn in as president. He will either fire Durham or pardon every deep state criminal participant

Making "excellent progress," eh? Man, what a joke. I knew the whole Durham thing was a sham the instant the media began using that "I'm a badass" pic of him every time he popped up in the news. You know the one - it's a closeup of Durham scowling into the camera looking like a tough guy or seriously determined badass. Yessiree Andy! - there's a new sheriff in town and he's done gonna git those there bad guys 'n round 'em up! Yesseri!

Durham's dickduster 'stache was not a good sign. . .

Durham is now bringing as many deep staters into his universe, so all can be exonerated in the new year . . . leaving no further investigation possible.
