    interesting to see parts of magaland adopting this line of attack against Durham

    "I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."

    "I am your retribution."

    If Dobbs wants to buy into stories from the NY Times that's his prerogative.

    It's like Durham was given the ball and the court cleared for him to make a layup but he scored in the wrong basket.

    On a scale of 1-10, how much are the walls closing in?

    I would say it's at a negative 27 at this point. Durham witchhunt not only exonerated multiple people and Hillary but ended up investigating Trump. And now the right has turned on Durham. Walls are opening nor closing.

    From the Times article:

    On one of Mr. Barr and Mr. Durham’s trips to Europe, according to people familiar with the matter, Italian officials — while denying any role in setting off the Russia investigation — unexpectedly offered a potentially explosive tip linking Mr. Trump to certain suspected financial crimes.

    Mr. Barr and Mr. Durham decided that the tip was too serious and credible to ignore. But rather than assign it to another prosecutor, Mr. Barr had Mr. Durham investigate the matter himself — giving him criminal prosecution powers for the first time — even though the possible wrongdoing by Mr. Trump did not fall squarely within Mr. Durham’s assignment to scrutinize the origins of the Russia inquiry, the people said.

    Mr. Durham never filed charges, and it remains unclear what level of an investigation it was, what steps he took, what he learned and whether anyone at the White House ever found out. The extraordinary fact that Mr. Durham opened a criminal investigation that included scrutinizing Mr. Trump has remained secret.

    But in October 2019, a garbled echo became public. The Times reported that Mr. Durham’s administrative review of the Russia inquiry had evolved to include a criminal investigation, while saying it was not clear what the suspected crime was. Citing their own sources, many other news outlets confirmed the development.

    The news reports, however, were all framed around the erroneous assumption that the criminal investigation must mean Mr. Durham had found evidence of potential crimes by officials involved in the Russia inquiry. Mr. Barr, who weighed in publicly about the Durham inquiry at regular intervals in ways that advanced a pro-Trump narrative, chose in this instance not to clarify what was really happening.

    By the spring and summer of 2020, with Mr. Trump’s re-election campaign in full swing, the Durham investigation’s “failure to deliver scalps in time for the election” began to erode Mr. Barr’s relationship with Mr. Trump, Mr. Barr wrote in his memoir.

    Mr. Trump was stoking a belief among his supporters that Mr. Durham might charge former President Barack Obama and former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. That proved too much for Mr. Barr, who in May 2020 clarified that “our concern of potential criminality is focused on others.”

    Surely there is enough prosecutorial misconduct in this saga to merit Garland appointing an independent outside investigator.

    Biden should call the Italian Prime Minister and get them to start an investigation into whatever Trump crimes they have knowledge of.

    Oh, wait....

    Maybe threaten an embargo on pasta or Italian-made shoes for good measure.

    But promise the prime minister that all he wants is an announcement of an investigation. No actual investigation is required. An announcement will suffice.

    Do walls ever close so tightly that they push off each other and start opening again?

    Barr is a loser. I hope both sides hate him with all they have forever.
