TFG and Barr had high hopes for the so-called Durham probe. TFG has been desparate to prove that Russia and Putin are not the reasons TFG won in 2016. Given the fact that the GOP controlled Senate Intelligence Committee issued a very definitive report to the effect that Russia interfered in the 2016 election, I never understood what TFG, Barr or Durham expected to find that could dispute the fact that have been documented
The fact that Durham failed to disprove reality should not surprise anyone. I am amused to see the MAGA nut cased and TFG are sad that Durham could not change reality or disprove or even cast doubt on the fact that have been well documented

Every once in a while, Donald Trump still blurts out John Durham’s name, hoping the prosecutor might yet bolster some of the former president’s conspiracy theories. As regular readers may recall, the Republican has even suggested at times that Durham’s probe could serve as a possible vehicle for retaliating against his perceived enemies.
By way of his social media platform, Trump wrote last month, “The public is waiting ‘with bated breath’ for the Durham Report, which should reveal corruption at a level never seen before in our country.",,,,,
As it turns out, there’s an answer to the question, though the Republican probably won’t like it. The New York Times reported:
Now Mr. Durham appears to be winding down his three-year inquiry without anything close to the results Mr. Trump was seeking. The grand jury that Mr. Durham has recently used to hear evidence has expired, and while he could convene another, there are currently no plans to do so, three people familiar with the matter said. Mr. Durham and his team are working to complete a final report by the end of the year, they said, and one of the lead prosecutors on his team is leaving for a job with a prominent law firm

For those who might benefit from a refresher — you’d be forgiven for thinking, “John Durham’s name sounds familiar, but I can’t remember why I’m supposed to care about him” — let’s revisit our earlier coverage and explain how we arrived at this point......
There is a degree of irony to the circumstances: For years, Trump World insisted that the Russia scandal was pointless, but the Durham investigation was real. It now appears these Republicans had it exactly backwards: The Russia scandal was real, and the Durham investigation was pointless.
It will be fun to see how TFG takes this news.
