Durham Prosecutes FBI Informants, While Protecting Their Handlers

[Real Clear Investigations] Since being named special counsel in October 2020, John Durham has investigated or indicted several unscrupulous anti-Trump informants. But he has spared the FBI agents who handled them, raising suspicions he's letting investigators off the hook in his waning investigation of misconduct in the Russiagate probe.

In recent court filings, Durham has portrayed the G-men as naive recipients of bad information,

...if they’re naive they aren't doing their job right, nor getting the right training...

tricked into opening improper investigations targeting Donald Trump and obtaining invalid warrants to spy on one of his advisers.

But as the cases against the informants have gone to trial, defense lawyers have revealed evidence that cuts against that narrative. FBI investigators look less like guileless victims and more like willing partners in the fraudulent schemes Durham has brought to light.

Notwithstanding his reputation as a tough, intrepid prosecutor, Durham has made excuses for the misconduct of FBI agents, providing them a ready-made defense against any possible future prosecution, according to legal experts.

"Durham was supposed to clean up the FBI cesspool, but it doesn't look like he's going to be doing that," said Paul Kamenar, counsel to the National Legal and Policy Center, a Washington watchdog group. "He started with a bang and is ending with a whimper."

#1 In recent court filings, Durham has portrayed the G-men as naive recipients of bad information, Is this a variation of "I was just following orders"? Lack of 'due diligence' is chargeable in many fields.

In recent court filings, Durham has portrayed the G-men as naive recipients of bad information,

Absolute rubbish! This is a thinly veiled cover for action. These are some of the best and brightest in Law Enforcement. They knew precisely what they were doing, or were being told to do.

One must keep in mind these are selectively recruited, PAID informants. They are being PAID to support an agency constructed, political narrative.

Plea-dealing and prosecuting sources is a 'project termination' method that bolsters conviction rates (the numbers game). Failing to go after the pay-masters and handlers does nothing to cure the politically driven, organizational corruption within the FBI and DOJ.

Again, FBI agents are not "naive" and stupid. Durham by the way, knows exactly what he is doing and where, or at what point, to end the investigatory effort.

#3 Pallative care as a way to calm the roiling voices with the implied determination to fix the root causes by employing a fierce, fearless proprietorial warrior of integrity. Now that the window has passed, more proof that the system seems bent deeply to the left and virtually immune to self-correction.
