John Durham sent a message to the Attorney General and the country
Attorney General Merrick Garland already had undercut Durham's investigation once by taking steps to rehabilitate the reputation of fired FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe, a key figure in the origins of the Trump-Russia collusion debacle. The Biden DOJ is not friendly to the goals of Mr. Durham.
Durham couldn't hold a news conference or pen an op-ed touting progress; that's just not done by investigators in the middle of an investigation. So, he turned to a readily available vehicle - a routine, fairly innocuous motion filed with the court - to embed an explosive message to the DOJ and the American people. It landed like fireworks at a funeral. No one saw it coming.
This recent filing by Durham was designed to have two effects. First, and most important, he has now made any decision by the president or attorney general to dump him much more difficult to undertake. The last time a president fired a special prosecutor who was making significant progress, he lost his presidency.
Second, Durham has signaled to the American people that his investigation has legs, despite perceptions of plodding inertia. He has provided hope that accountability in D.C. actually might happen.
