In 2019, John Durham was appointed by Bill Barr to prosecute crimes that allegedly took place in the 2016 election. Not the known crimes, but the crimes Messrs. Barr and Durham just knew took place when people falsely, so they said, linked their boss to the Russian interference.
As of December, Mr. Durham reportedly spent nearly $4 Million of the taxpayers' money to ferret out these supposed crimes. Mr. Durham has indeed surfaced bull, represented in these three accomplishments in three years time:
1. Durham prosecuted a lawyer who fudged in an affidavit for a warrant for the FBI to investigate one person. That lawyer pled guilty in a plea bargain. That lawyer got no prison time in his plea bargain.
2. Two more people were indicted before the statutes of limitations ran on trying them. So far, one has gone to trial, His alleged crime was lying to the FBI whether he told an FBI official that he was talking to the FBI on behalf of a client, or not. That one ended with a Not Guilty Verdict. The foreperson on the jury said afterward that our time and money is better spent on other things. Heckuva trial lawyer you've got there in Bull Durham, obviously.
3. The remaining person has been indicted and is up for trial later this year.
That's it. None of these three accomplishments have anything to do with refuting the involvement, or not, of anyone at all with the Russians in the 2016 election. These are the three accomplishments of Mr. Durham's three years on the job. He has shown one thing in all that time:
John Durham is no-one's idea of a trial lawyer.
Give the money back, Johnny. Give the money back. Then resign and go away.
