The Wall Street Journal reports Special Counsel John Durham is:

“Presenting evidence to a grand jury and preparing a lengthy report expected to be completed in the coming months, according to people familiar with the matter.”

“Examining potential criminal charges against several lower-level FBI employees, and people who aren’t in government, according to people familiar with the matter.”

They expect the long-awaited Durham report to be delivered at some time after the end of the summer.

Background

In December 2019, after the IG report detailed the Carter Page FISA abuses, Durham released a statement disagreeing with the IG’s conclusions about the predicate for opening Crossfire Hurricane (and theoretically the broader Trump/Russia investigation):

After that, before the 2020 election, Attorney General Barr appointed Durham as Special Counsel. This appointment specified that Durham’s investigation would include (but not be limited to) violations of law relating to Crossfire Hurricane and the Mueller Investigation:

The Focus

According to the WSJ, “Prosecutors working for Mr. Durham have focused on people outside the FBI who provided information that helped to fuel the 2016 investigation.”

Who would that include?

The Alfa Bank allegations: As we previously discussed, and as The New Yorker first reported back in October 2020, Durham had impaneled a grand jury relating to the false Alfa Bank/Trump Organization story. This included a request of testimony from former Feinstein staffer Daniel Jones (who has deep links to Fusion GPS).

Igor Danchenko: Danchenko is the primary subsource (PSS) of Christopher Steele who we suspect of lying to the FBI about his ties to Russian intelligence and fabricating his discussions with other witnesses. Durham has subpoenaed his records from his previous employer, Brookings.

As to the potential for false statement charges, Danchenko denied to the FBI that he had “any contacts with the Russian intelligence.” However, FBI records show that Danchenko was previously “in contact with a known Russian intelligence officer” and that he seemed “very familiar” with another Russian intelligence officer.

Brother, one problem may be, as they investigate on e crime and suspect, more and crimes and suspects are found. And this appears to get bigger then anyone had suspected. Has happened before in investigations.

Absolutely brother. You don't get a government this corrupt without there being multiple layers of crimes.

Exactly Brother. And appears the more leverage they have on you, the higher up you go.

That has been their MO for decades. Starve out the honest patriot and promote the criminal aloof. Break up the family, make both parents work, send the kids to indoctrination schools. Make the people so busy working that they have no time for children or the ageing in their family. Change history, dumb the kids down in school and remove all critical thinking skills. If this doesn't work fast enough then import millions of people from other countries. Eventually they'll get the country they want.
