46 Senate Republicans Demand AG Garland Respect Independence of Durham Investigation
February 20, 2022 | District of Columbia
The senators said Durhams’ findings include “highly concerning, and potentially criminal, manipulation and exploitation of federal law enforcement resources.”
Forty-six Senate Republicans demanded Wednesday that Attorney General Merrick Garland respect the independence of Special Counsel John Durham’s investigation into the FBI’s Russia probe of the Trump campaign in the 2016 election.
The senators led by Rick Scott of Florida wrote a letter to Garland one week after Durham filed a motion linking Hillary Clinton campaign attorney Michael Sussman and other campaign lawyers to a technology company hired to “mine” Trump data servers “for the purpose of gathering derogatory information about Donald Trump.”
“We write to seek your assurance that you will continue to respect the prosecutorial independence of Special Counsel John Durham and his staff, while also ensuring he is provided all resources necessary to fully, thoroughly, and completely pursue the investigation for which he was appointed,” the senators wrote Garland.,,,, (Excerpt from the Virginia Star)
