A little more far reaching announcement from Barr.  It will be interesting how this may play out especially if Joe nominates Sally Yates as AG.

 

 

 Barr taps Durham as special counsel, pushing probe into Biden era

 

Attorney General William Barr has appointed U.S. attorney John Durham as a special counsel to investigate the origins of the FBI’s probe of Russian interference in the 2016 election.

The appointment formalizes Durham’s ongoing probe, but more significantly, would give Durham latitude to continue the politically explosive investigation after President-elect Joe Biden takes office in January.

 

Barr elevated Durham to special-counsel status on Oct. 19 but disclosed the move in a letter Tuesday to the House and Senate Judiciary Committees.

The Biden transition team did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Democrats have long viewed Durham’s efforts as political payback by President Donald Trump and his allies, seeking to deflect from evidence that the Trump campaign capitalized on the Kremlin’s efforts.

 

Since May 2019, Durham has been reviewing the FBI’s decision to launch the investigation of President Donald Trump’s campaign and its connections with Russia, a sprawling probe that became known as Crossfire Hurricane and which was later taken over by Special Counsel Robert Mueller.

I think the most logical way to see this is this is risk management.. Barr covering his and Durham's hides (along with their staff), presuming Biden prevails, which they're smartly planning for. I particularly don't like that it was done in secret back in October.. they have no reason to be doing something like this in secret, it looks shady on its face. Nonetheless, I doubt Durham will do anything of use/substance unless attacked. He's probably already sitting on a plethora of criminal allegations, and looking into more, that he can quickly submit should he get dismissed, or simply waste bin if he gets assurances the Biden admin won't go after him and Barr. They've been sitting on the FBI investigation as well into Hunter for over a year, this is especially leverage, and given what happened with Flynn, we clearly know extortion is not beyond the bureaus. I think it's a tad clearer what they're waiting for. I doubt Biden would do anything to them because it would absolutely wreck the Democrats in 22 and would make 24 even worse, then there's the damage to the Biden family. While Biden does seem quite reckless, I doubt he's this dumb. I just see them leaving Durham alone and he walks away with a report more harmless than Mueller's.

This might be the case, but if Joe's AG or Joe himself interfere, then Obstruction of Justice could be a very real thing.

Maybe not legally, but certainly politically.  Regardless, the article is simply an opinion piece, we will have to wait and see how it plays out, and if Sally Yates is the AG nominee, and she is also part of the investigation, she would need to immediately recuse herself or is that not required for the Dems?  I still doubt there will be much of anything that comes out of this, I am not holding my breath, but if it does make some nervous in the 4th branch of government, that will be a win.

Well, there are other opinions as one would expect when talking about laws.  As to sticking it to the Dems, only if you are admitting that the 4th Branch of Government (the unelected bureaucrats) is loaded with Dems.  Reportedly, Trump was not very happy with the move, so not sure it was to placate him.

 

Yates would have no choice but to recuse herself in dealing with the Durham investigation. However, if the Biden administration used her designated deputy to scuttle the investigation or the report, the Biden administration will have done what Trump never actually did. All of those columns and speeches contorting the language of the obstruction statute would come back to haunt the Democrats.

 

It is, to use the words of fired Special Agent Peter Strzok, the ultimate "insurance policy" that Durham will be allowed to complete and release the facts of his investigation. Worse yet, the Democrats themselves made the case for him to do so.
