John Durham reviewing FBI handling of Clinton Foundation investigation
by Jerry Dunleavy, Justice Department Reporter
September 24, 2020 02:36 PM
U.S. Attorney John Durham is investigating the handling of the FBI’s investigation of possible bribery and pay-to-play at the Clinton Foundation as part of his broader inquiry of the Trump-Russia investigators, according to a new report.
The New York Times reported Thursday that Durham “has sought documents and interviews about how federal law enforcement officials handled an investigation … into allegations of political corruption†at the Clinton Foundation, founded by former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Durham was picked by Attorney General William Barr in 2019 to investigate the origins and conduct of the Trump-Russia investigation, and the outlet said that “Durham’s team members have suggested to others that they are comparing the two investigations.†The article claimed that “it was not clear whether Mr. Durham’s investigators were similarly looking for violations in the Clinton Foundation investigation."
Durham’s office declined the Washington Examiner’s request for comment. The Clinton Foundation told the New York Times that it “has regularly been subjected to baseless, politically motivated allegations, and time after time these allegations have been proven false.â€
Barr has denied that he is being pressured by President Trump in his handling of Durham’s inquiry and claimed that any actions taken won't affect the 2020 election. House and Senate Democrats have called for the Justice Department's independent watchdog to investigate Durham’s work.

This sounds like a serious widening of the scope of the investigation. I'm for digging into the Clinton Foundation but I'm not sure how that fits in with the Russiagate investigation Durham's been tasked with.

IF Trump loses the election,this will be buried forever.
However,if he wins,I am predicting fireworks down the road.
He ain't exactly the typical live and let live politician.

All this is nothing more than a waste of time. No way are the Clintons being brought to justice. Both should receive the Rosenberg Treatment for Uranium One, and other treasonous acts.
Trump was an idiot to tell DOJ to lay off the Clintons.
The Clintons are the sharpest organized crime family in America, perhaps in history. The mafia would love to be able to do a tenth of what the Clintons have gotten away with. And that includes their idiot daughter too. All should be indicted.

It was not only the only real choice he had,but the smartest thing he could have done if he had wanted to accomplish anything in his first term. If he had dropped the hammer on it then,there is no way he would even be considered for re-election now. The Clinton's would have turned their full-focus on getting his impeached and defending himself against charges.
I suspect the second term is when THAT particular shoe is going to drop.

With results of durhams investigations so far, who cares what he does? Might as well investigate computer solitaire games for stacked decks.
