If it were up to Devin Nunes, special counsel John Durham would unveil a wave of new charges right now, escalating his endeavor to root out misconduct surrounding the FBI's Russia inquiry.
But Durham isn't doing that. In fact, his yearslong investigation appears to be winding down with what could be the final prosecution of the affair, leading Nunes — who, during his closing act in Congress, sent more than a dozen criminal referrals to the Justice Department focused on the Russia matter and the 2016 election — to speculate openly that Durham is somehow"being blocked" from expanding his aim.
Attorney General Merrick Garland assured, in responding to prying questions from Republican lawmakers nearly one year ago, "You would know if he weren’t continuing to do his work," while also noting that the vitality of Durham's investigation was evident in a then-recent financial activity report.
Durham's investigation began more than three years ago. While Trump and his allies claim the businessman-turned-politician was unfairly targeted in a bid to undermine his campaign and presidency, Democrats and some legal observers claim the inquiry is meant to undercut Robert Mueller's special counsel investigation and inflict damage on Trump's political foes.
Further, an FBI special agent and a former analyst who served on Mueller’s team testified that the special counsel’s office declined to investigate and never interviewed Charles Dolan, the Clinton-allied business associate of Danchenko, despite their urging. The trial has also revealed Danchenko worked as a paid informant and confidential human source for the FBI from March 2017 to October 2020, and he was paid hundreds of thousands of dollars.
