Devin Nunes warns 'growing concern' that Biden and Obama will shut down Durham inquiry

[Washington Examiner] Rep. Devin Nunes warned of "growing concern" that President-elect Joe Biden, taking cues from former President Barack Obama, will shut down U.S. Attorney John Durham's inquiry into the Russia investigation.

The California Republican, who is the ranking member on the House Intelligence Committee, said on Sunday that Attorney General William Barr should set up a special counsel before Inauguration Day to keep the so-called investigation of the investigators alive.

"Now we're sitting waiting for Durham to complete this investigation. I think people are getting not only very frustrated but also, there's a growing concern that Durham is not going to come out with anything and then Biden and Obama are going to be back in, and they're going to shut this investigation off," Nunes told Maria Bartiromo on her Fox News program, Sunday Morning Futures.

The congressman noted that Obama moved about a mile away from the White House after his eight years as president, asserting that Obama "set up shop" and spent time propping up Sen. Kamala Harris, who is now vice president-elect, during the Democratic Party presidential primaries until she "bombed out" before they shifted to backing Biden.

Durham was appointed by Barr more than a year and a half ago to investigate misconduct by federal law enforcement, intelligence officials, and others related to the FBI's inquiry into links between President Trump's campaign and Russia. So far, the prosecutor has secured one guilty plea from a former FBI lawyer.

#1 It won't be "shut down," it will simply be redirected to investigate Donald Trump.

#2 Why bother to shut it down? It has sunk into the ooze of the swamp for all time never to be heard from again.

#4 Formal admission of doddering naivete.

I was unfortunately among the hopeful few (two or possibly three others) here on the Burg, who thought something might actually come of the Durham investigation. If I am responsible for sewing the seeds of false hope, I sincerely apologize.

What was a thinking ?

#5 "Shut down"? I'm not so sure there was/is anything to shut.

I would vote to have Durham and Barr included in Fred's spam bot so that they are summarily "barred" from any mention here henceforth. Worthless.

#6 Durham works at the typical DoJ pace which means what takes a typical prosecutor a month, takes the DoJ a year.

If Trump serves another term as POTUS, Durham would probably finish his inquiry in 2023.

#7 They are just like Fauci, Barr & Durham. They've been apparatchiks for so long, they are part & parcel of the state--and behave accordingly.
