The New York Times reported on Monday, citing “people familiar with the investigation," that Durham “has keyed in on the FBI’s handling of a notorious dossier of political opposition research both before and after the bureau started using it to obtain court permission to wiretap a former Trump campaign adviser." The outlet said Durham obtained records from the left-leaning think tank in Washington, D.C., related to Danchenko, who worked for the organization from 2005 to 2010 as a Russia researcher but is best known as the main source for Steele’s discredited Trump-Russia dossier in 2016.

The new report said in February, before Merrick Garland was confirmed as attorney general, Durham “obtained old personnel files and other documents” ...

Durham is Swamp; he’s part of the problem. Reports by persons looking into his activities say he’s “done nothing.”

What report? They show nothing about a report on that site other the opinion pieces from conspiracy sites like the NYT.

Was there a “John Durham Sighting” today? Big Wow! Sure it wasn’t footage from an old Newreel? As a kid I used to see those at the picture show.

Results of his investigation will be released shortly after the statute of limitations tolls.

For as long as the money budgeted for this farce does.

Then when there’s about a month’s payroll left, a “report” will begin to be compiled stating that not enough time or funds were allocated to reach a definitive conclusion...... nothing to see here.....please move along..

Durham, like that SOB Barr is a total fraud.

This will wind up as a White Wash.

Please just spare us anymore about Durham. He’s not doing squat. At this rate any crimes he accidentally uncovers will be well beyond the statute of limitations.
