Washington-
If you were reading the Wall Street Journal late last week, you might have noticed a story about a federal prosecutor, John Durham, from Connecticut. He is the man that Attorney General William Barr tapped a year ago to look into irregularities allegedly committed surrounding the 2016 election, possibly by high-ranking officials in our intelligence community. All of America is absorbed with the coronavirus pandemic. I am, too, but there are other matters of great import to be decided before this year is out. Durham’s investigation is one of them.
According to the Journal, when Durham became anxious about canceled flights to Washington, he personally drove

I keep reading stories like this....John Durham's looking into this, John Durham's looking into that, a lot of people are really sweating, blahblahblah. How many times over how many years have we heard similar lines? And now, even if he really IS finding things out, and even if the AG actually DOES recommend prosecution of the bad people, what makes anyone think that this DOJ isn't just going to 'decline to prosecute' as they've done before? I'll believe it when I see it.

Ya know, I know all of this is complicated beyond my simple mind, but these investigators are supposed to be super smart people with unlimited resources and personnel to help. I am only one person, but it doesn't take me nearly four years to know if my house has bedbugs, and it doesn't take long to get rid of them. Color me cynical!

It takes a lot of mental gymnastics to justify a year doing whatever he is doing and avoiding incriminating any of your buddies.

John "Bull" Durham hasn't come up with any proposal for indictments after a year of "investigations" …..
That tells me he was either part of the original coup attempt or is grossly incompetent (or both).
AG Barr hired his buddy Durham and he should demand that he come up with something or fire him. Is Durham deliberately stretching this "investigation" out to fill his pockets (as Mueller did) and come up with nothing? Enough of this crap!!!

The story about Eeyore and being pessimistic is certainly germane to this issue. There are plenty of pessimists that complain, out of ignorance, that nothing is happening. Just because they don't know about it. All because Barr and Durham won't send out a daily briefing memo on their investigations....

I'm an outsider and not smart in a legal sense (I have watched Law & Order) but I could travel to Washington DC today and find crimes that can be prosecuted and someone sentenced to jail. These so called legal brains are still working on cases that are obviously easy and winnable. They are all drinking buddies and laugh with one another at the end of the day don't believe anything except Durham can drive his own car and it ends there.

Paywall shut me out but I probably got better information from other posters here anyway.

I keep hoping that there will be a slew of indictments, filed in Kansas or North Dakota, or some other place far, far, FAR from the corrupt influences of DC. There need to be at least 3 dozen folks sent to prison over this, and anything less will be a coverup.
I keep hoping....but justice delayed is justice denied.

Stop the hype. These actions were taken by people who are sneaky and deceptive as a profession and they are utterly comfortable doing their job. They also buried much of their actions inside a badly broken FISA system that will make it hard to isolate criminal actions inside the almost 100% record of bad investigations.
I don't know what Dunham has found. I hope he is successful in ferreting out the criminality that we know existed, even sans hard evidence. But we have no certainty of that. Just as dems have futilely pursued impeachment, we are pursuing justice against the Deep State actors. I don't know it it is possible.

This is basically a wide-ranging criminal conspiracy case. Durham has been working on it for a year, not three, not four years. I don't blame him for wanting to have his own investigators look into the evidence, rather than relying on the Mueller/Andrew Weissmann conclusions.
Investigating a conspiracy case is like unraveling a wad of heavily-tangled fishing line. It involves many actors/co-defendants. Any of them could be pushed to rat out certain of the others, but you don't know which co-defendant is more vulnerable to copping a plea in return for evidence against which co-defendant until you've investigated all or at least most of them.
It's no surprise to me that this is taking this much time. Some old DOJ anti-trust cases from the 1970s-80s lasated over a decade. The worst thing Durham could do would be to pull a Weissmann and indict some lesser co-defendants and then fail to indict Brennan, Clapper, Comey, Rosenstein, McCabe, Yates, and/or many other nefarious co-conspirators.
