Legal experts mock failed Durham probe: No other prosecutor "has ever posted such a dismal record"

Special counsel John Durham, who was appointed by Trump Attorney General Bill Barr to investigate the origins of the Russia probe, ended his three-year investigation after failing to convict yet another frequent target of former President Donald Trump.

Igor Danchenko, a think tank analyst who provided much of the research for the infamous Christopher Steele dossier, was acquitted Tuesday on charges of lying to the FBI about where he got his information.

The defeat marked likely the final blow of his investigation, though Durham is expected to submit a report to the Justice Department later this year.

Durham was appointed in 2019 by Barr. His first two cases ended in an acquittal and a guilty plea with a sentence of probation.

Tends to happen when prosecutions are politically motivated.

A) the charges specifically, and

B) the existence of the investigation/special counsel appointment in general.

IOW, it is 100% earned by Durham being a corrupt shitbag.
