Prosecutor working on John Durham's Russia investigation resigns

A prosecutor working with U.S. Attorney John Durham on the criminal inquiry into the Russia investigation has resigned.

"We can confirm that Nora Dannehy has resigned from the Department of Justice and have no further comment," Thomas Carson, a spokesman for Durham, told the Washington Examiner on Friday. The Justice Department declined to comment.

Dannehy's departure was first reported by the Hartford Courier, which said she informed colleagues at the U.S. attorney's office in New Haven about her resignation in an email Thursday evening. Unnamed colleagues of Dannehy told the outlet that her decision was based in part on concern about political pressure to produce a report before the November election, although her farewell email did not mention it. The duration of the investigation might also have been a factor.

When Dannehy joined Durham's team in Washington for the review of the Russia investigation in the spring of 2019, she was told to expect an assignment that would last between six months and a year. The inquiry has now been going on for a year and a half, and Democrats and national security veterans have been raising concerns about it disrupting the 2020 election, which is less than two months away.

They should be raising concerns that a political party used the Justice Department to spy on political opponents and then prosecuted those opponents based on evidence they knew to be false.  And later willfully obstructed justice by destroying evidence that had been subpoenaed as part of a criminal investigation.

@Hoodat

ALL felonies,which means none will be brought forward by the Dims.

I suspect things might change a dab after Trump is re-elected,though.
