If John Durham Doesn't End His Investigation Immediately It Will have Gone On As Long As The Mueller Investigation Did
Mueller Investigation May 2017 - March 2019
Durham Investigation May 2019 - ?? 2021
As you can see there is a parallel to be had, in that both investigations began in May. Mueller's was roughly 22 months , and in a few weeks Durham's will be roughly 22 months. I wonder if Durham will release a 450 page document detailing his findings like Mueller did. I'm thinking not.
I was just watching Malcolm Nance, the intelligence issues pundit, on a show. He says Durham has nothing, and will produce his expense accounts and get his various reimbursements and what not, and call it a day. He has evidently found nothing to indicate that the right wing fever dreams about deep state treason toward Trump was a reality.
Oh well, no one will be able to say he wasn't given enough time.

To be fair, the whole false statement thing was everything to the anti-Trump crowd who hoped that the Russia investigation would be his undoing. Every time someone was accused of making false statements, it was front page news and dominated the TV. Now it's nothing? I mean, it's either a big deal, or it's not, right?
Right wing media and social media all said that Comey, McCabe, Strzok, (his girlfriend whose name I cant remember), Brennan, Loretta Lynch, Obama, Biden, etc would all be going to prison when Durham was done with them. The investigation appears to be a colossal nothing burger.
Maybe. I don't have the patience to follow the thing in great detail because it takes too much work to sift through all the BS. I do, however, think practices at DOJ should be open to scrutiny and I have a problem when people resist that idea. Ironically, these are often the same people who protest injustice in local police. Why wouldn't the same failings be found in federal cops?
And if false statements from Trump campaign lackeys set our hair on fire, isn't it at least 100% worse coming from someone trusted and sworn to uphold law and justice?
When 'someone' is indicted and pleads guilty of lying to the FBI, it's reasonable that it 'dominate the TV'.
It's not 'nothing' but it was ONE someone that altered an email. When confronted, he admitted it and plead guilty and was sentenced and will probably be disbarred.
Are you getting antsy?
We were told to have patience and to wait for the facts to come out.
The one bright spot for you is that Merrick Garland refused to do what William Barr did - protect then-special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation. He clearly doesn't have the integrity Barr did.
"P resident Biden’s pick for attorney general didn’t directly promise to protect special counsel John Durham's investigation nor to make his report public, saying he would need to speak with the federal prosecutor before making a decision, though he said he didn't currently have reason to think it wasn't the right move to keep Durham on.
Sen. Chuck Grassley, the top Republican on the committee, urged Merrick Garland to support Durham's investigation and to handle the inquiry into Hunter Biden without interference from the White House.
"With respect to special counsel Durham's investigation, I expect that he will be allowed to complete his investigation," the Republican senator said. "If confirmed, will you commit to providing special counsel Durham with the staff, resources, funds, and time needed to thoroughly complete the investigation?"
"So senator, I don't have any information about the investigation as I sit here today, and another one of the very first things I'm going to have to do is speak with Mr. Durham and figure out how his investigation is going," the judge replied. "I understand that he has been permitted to remain in his position, and sitting here today, I have no reason to think that that was not the correct decision."
It seems Garland can't wait to talk to Durham. He has left the option open. Maybe you'll get your wish.
Garland also won't commit to making his report public.
Imagine if Barr hid the Mueller report....
He played it real cozy didn't he? He was asked repeatedly to protect the Durham investigation. His answer revolved around talking to Barr. Obviously the FBI needs to be protected, despite how they were so careful to just stop short of flagrantly breaking the law. We did nail Kevin Clinesmith, but another progressive judge let him off with no jail time.
Imagine if Barr hid the Mueller report....
They'd be screaming at the sky again!
Of course, there was nothing to hide. It was a fishing expedition.
Barr's summary about the Mueller report was so biased and misleading that Mueller himself came out to clarify things. Wouldn't you consider lying about the results, the same as hiding the results?
Wouldn't you consider lying about the results, the same as hiding the results?
Worse actually.....
We may have to wait for the movie to come out for the Durham report findings. It most likely will be a comedy lampooning the Trump administration...... They might even just to decide to use the writers for SNL for the script!
You probably should have given up on Durham and changed your avatar by this point.
I have no reason to give up on him. He is running a criminal investigation and I will await the final report.
BTW, there is one thing you didn't put into your little time comparison of Mueller and Durham. Durham no sooner got going and the pandemic hit. I can only imagine that delayed many things, such as a Grand Jury. I'm sure that Merrick Garland will do whatever he can to protect those rats at he FBI. One way or the other, either Durham will file his report or Garland will disgrace himself by quashing the investigation, there shall be closure.
LOL, Is that what he was doing? You mean Weissmann most likely sent him up there to try and 'splain!
Exactly WTF are you trying to pretend that Barr protected Mueller FROM Vic?
Why can't Garland commit to providing special counsel Durham with the staff, resources, funds, and time needed to thoroughly complete the investigation?
Simple question
Mueller and the word "clarify" will never go together.
You must have missed his rambling, disjointed, and contradictory testimony to Congress. Thankfully he had two handlers there keeping him in line.
Simple answer..... Have you ever heard of "return on investment"?
If after meeting with Garland, and all Durham has at this point is some water-cooler hearsay by a couple of interns that hustle coffee, why should he commit to further funding? If after meeting with Garland, and Durham can show some solid leads that need funding so they can be run down, then fine, fund them.
Face facts Vic..... If Durham had anything at all that could be backed up in front of a judge, it would have been out prior to the November election. Trump would have made sure of that. Even if they couldn't have been backed up in front of a judge, Trump would have been pushing them. Nope.... No biscuit.
Well gee Vic, if I followed your lead, I wouldn't answer even a simple question, but hey, Garland already answered it.
Until he becomes AG and evaluates Durham's 'investigation' for himself, he would be abdicating his duties to commit to ANYTHING.
Barr's summary was his resume as consigliere to the former criminal enterprise of an administration.
If you're curious, look it up.
When I saw his picture I thought it was you Vic.
Where did you look Goose..... Breitbart?

Imagine claiming that.
Barr, in fact, released the whole report and his initial summary was accurate.
OFFS.......! Barr's summary read as if he hadn't even heard of Trump.
Except the 'whole' redaction thingy.
Trump 'endeavor' to obstruct justice is a Federal Crime. Whether his aids carried out his orders is irrelevant.
Off topic here and I apologize....but...Why does he look like he roasts small children and then eats them?
ha ha . thats a good one
<takes a bow>
No, he does not do that. But, Durham does have a severe case of Trump constipation.

now that would be a taunting violation...which Trout Giggles never commits!
Believe that and I have some ocean front property in Arkansas I want to sell you
hey, never say never.....
Back in 1980 when so many people were so 'concerned' about the Big One hitting California, a book came out called 'We Are The Earthquake Generation'. My roommate picked it up for himself and on the back cover there was a drawing of the 'new' West Coast after the big one hits. As i remember, basically the new West Coast started in El Paso, moved up to Denver and up into Idaho. Everything to the west of that was gone. So ya know, the ocean front properties in the Texas Panhandle could one day be a big hit. hehe

Yes indeed and God how I hate that face!
Durham is on a snipe hunt and he knows it.
If Durham cares about his personal prospects and future career in law, I humbly suggest he read Rick Wilson's book.
He looks old enough to retire. Maybe he should do just that
Or see if Putin needs a 'cover man'.
Snipe trap
