What is the next shoe to drop in U.S. Attorney John Durham’s investigation?

That's one of the big questions in Washington this month, even as lawmakers' attention is torn among coronavirus, school reopenings, economic uncertainty, wildfires, social unrest and the presidential election.

 

Speculation over the status of Durham's review into the origins of the Russia probe has only intensified amid the resignation of a top aide last week and comments from congressional Republicans suggesting developments could soon be announced.

Nora Dannehy, a top aide to Durham, resigned Friday, after working closely with the U.S. attorney for Connecticut for years. Durham’s office confirmed her departure but did not elaborate on the backstory.

Reports suggested, though, that Dannehy’s departure came amid concerns that the team investigating alleged misconduct at the origins of the Trump-Russia probe was being pressed by top Justice Department officials to produce a report on its findings before their full review was completed, for political purposes.

One source familiar with the investigation pushed back, telling Fox News on Monday that Dannehy “came in for a brief job” and questions surrounding her departure were simply from an “echo chamber trying to make things look bad” for Attorney General Bill Barr.

“They’re doing their job,” the source told Fox News. “It’s not easy to do stuff like this. Takes time.”

As I have said MANY times over MANY years. I'm not holding my breathe. We've been here many times and been let down just as many.

GOP chairman to release interim report on Biden probe 'in about a week'

Senate Homeland Security Chairman Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) said Monday that he will soon release an interim report from his months-long probe involving the Obama administration and Hunter Biden.

"Stay tuned. In about a week we're going to learn a whole lot more of Vice President Biden's fitness for office," Johnson told GOP activists during a video call, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

Spokespeople for Johnson didn't immediately respond to an email about the remarks.
