On Thursday, over 40 Republican senators sent a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland to demand he share an update on the status of Special Counsel John Durham’s probe into the Crossfire Hurricane Investigation and ensure the investigation is seen to completion and released to the public.
Durham's inquiry began under Garland's predecessor, Attorney General William Barr, in 2019 to "conduct a review of the origins of the FBI's investigation into Russian collusion in the 2016 United States presidential election," the letter reads. Previously, Durham served as United States attorney for the District of Connecticut.
“We write to request an update on the status of Special Counsel John Durham’s inquiry into the Crossfire Hurricane Investigation,” the letter states. “The Special Counsel’s ongoing work is important to many Americans who were disturbed that government agents subverted lawful process to conduct inappropriate surveillance for political purposes. The truth pursued by this investigation is necessary to ensure transparency in our intelligence agencies and restore faith in our civil liberties. Thus, it is essential that the Special Counsel’s ongoing review should be allowed to continue unimpeded and without undue limitations.”
The letter was led by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN). Since the government's fiscal year concludes on September 30, it is unknown if the probe will continue past that date.
“Attorney General Merrick Garland must pledge to publicly release the full report and allow Special Counsel Durham to continue his investigation uninhibited past September 2021,” Blackburn said in a statement. “We are over two years into the investigation of how the Obama-Biden FBI spied on an incoming president, and we still do not have answers. America’s national security apparatus was weaponized to take down President Trump, and the American people deserve to know how this occurred.”

but you misspelled ‘qaqqled’
Oooh, don't those Republicans sound masterful! They DEMAND an update! How very butch of them!
After making their demand, did the Republicans all hold hands and smile in a photo session?
Durham will come up with nothing to save his career. The corruption of this administration doesn’t even attempt to hide. Clueless Joe is senile and duplicitous and totally corrupt and he dares us to do anything about it.
Right. I had minority party in mind. Well, that’s still the case when we’re 50+ anyway... lol.
Rip Van Durham
Did he die of Diabeetus?
Bwahahahahahahaha
What a joke...
That’s the image I”m working on over the winter. Not
sure about the thickness. We’ll see come spring.
Here’s your update: Nothing to see here. Now let me get back to my nap.
The statue of limitations has run out on most of these crimes, so a report the media will ignore is all we’ll get. Maybe.
Yeah, she was really great voting to confirm the potted plant that sits in the White House, because a handful of people rioted on January 6. I still have not heard her explanation on how that occurrence lead to seating an illegitimate president.
Over 40, huh?
There is 50 Republican senators.
Who’s missing?
Let me guess...
Romney
Collins
Sasse
Murkowski
Who else?
seriously?
” . . . cannot comment on an ongoing investigation (but will leak like a sieve if it hurts the deplorables).”
Republican senators need a heads up so they can get their stories straight.
Lol! Nice. An obscure M*A*S*H reference!
