Forty-four Republican senators demand Durham report be made public​

BY MYCHAEL SCHNELL - 08/19/21 04:20 PM EDT

A group of 44 Republican senators is demanding that the report by special counsel John Durham be made public once it is complete, days after news surfaced that it will likely be finished in the coming months.

Lawmakers, including Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), penned a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland on Thursday requesting an update on the status of Durham's review, dubbed the Crossfire Hurricane Investigation, and for the final report to be made public once it is complete.

“We ask that you provide an update on the status of Special Counsel Durham’s inquiry and that the investigation's report be made available to the public upon completion,” the lawmakers wrote.

Durham, who previously served as the U.S. attorney for the District of Connecticut before becoming special counsel last year, has been reviewing the FBI’s investigation into Russia’s influence in the 2016 election since 2019, when he was tasked by the Trump administration to evaluate the bureau’s probe.

Durham resigned as U.S. attorney after Biden took office, which is routine for politically appointed federal prosecutors, but he was kept as special counsel so he could continue his probe.

The investigation made headlines last week when The Wall Street Journal reported that Durham is presenting grand jury evidence and preparing his report.

He reportedly wanted to have the review finished by the end of this summer, but the newspaper reported that the target date will likely be delayed, according to people familiar with the matter.

Durham is reportedly looking into criminal charges against lower-level FBI officials and tipsters who possibly fed false leads to the FBI during the 2016 investigation.

The information reportedly involved allegations of connections between the Trump Organization and the Russian Alfa Bank, which investigators did not find any evidence to bolster.

It should be public. Why would anyone oppose this?

Nancy Pelosi said there would a "Constitutional Crisis" if the Nunes Memo was ever released so they'll probably run with the same excuse. It could be 'divisive'.
 
What hoax?

The hoax that Trump was some stooge of Putin's, which was enabled through crooked FISA requests premised on false information.

The Durham report needs to make known to the public which FBI investigators were involved in wrongful misuse of FISA to carry out wiretapping of the political opposition campaign and their associates, for political purposes. It's fundamentally anti-democratic to have a partisan bureaucracy.

And, when it's released, and it's a nothing burger?

We're talking about the Durham Report, not your birth. The public want to see the details of the Durham Report, and have questions answered about how the FISA process was fooled using false laundered information.

exactly. What if the reason that Durham report wasn't released because nothing was in it?

Uhh, reports are released all the time, even when there's nothing noteworthy in them. That's a ridiculous argument to make.

Self proclaimed "Law and order" party attacking law enforcement again.

Your ideology is a joke.

The standard policy at the DOJ is to [Not Make Public] any investigations until and if there are indictments. So just chill out. If there are no indictments, there is nothing to see.

Of course there are always leaks, which are not supposed to happen. It seems Durham has done a good job keeping the investigation quiet up until now. One never knows, but after all this time, I am betting no indictments. The Carter Page FISA crap came out long ago and it seems that's all they found.

I do have one question. What ever happened to the massive law suit Carter Page promised to bring against the federal government? That was 4 years ago. Maybe he backed off because he really was a Russian operative.

One small fact to remember. Joe Biden decided to keep Durham on. Would he have done that if he was worried about some damning report coming out against his past administration?

He could have removed Durham on his first day in office.

trump never made much of a secret of being a stooge for Putin.

Actually, most of the publives has forgotten who Durham is, and about his report. trump dead enders are really the only ones still clinging to some sort of hope in that regard.

You mean the one he released in 2018???


Or is there some other mysterious memo that trump dead enders are stil anxiously awaiting.
 
I hear the report is due in “two weeks!”



Tangent: wasn’t Durham’s post negotiated in before the election; as in he couldn’t be removed by Biden?
