Nora Dannehy, Connecticut prosecutor who was top aide to John Durhams Trump-Russia investigation, resigns amid concern about pressure from Attorney General William Barr

<snip>
Federal prosecutor Nora Dannehy, a top aide to U.S. Attorney John H. Durham in his Russia investigation, has quietly resigned from the U.S. Justice Department probe - at least partly out of concern that the investigative team is being pressed for political reasons to produce a report before its work is done, colleagues said.
Dannehy, a highly regarded prosecutor who has worked with or for Durham for decades, informed colleagues in the U.S. Attorneys office in New Haven of her resignation from the Department of Justice by email Thursday evening. The short email was a brief farewell message and said nothing about political pressure, her work for Durham or what the Durham team has produced, according to people who received it.
Durham, who has never even acknowledged that Dannehy was in Washington working for him, had no immediate comment on the resignation.
Durham recruited Dannehy to join his team after he was appointed by Attorney General William Barr more than a year and a half ago to examine the the FBIs legal justification for a disputed counterintelligence investigation that looked for ties between President Donald J. Trumps 2016 campaign and Russian efforts to meddle in the election.

Maybe Durham is not playing ball the way that Trump and Barr had hoped?

This was highlighted in another DU post, here: https://www.democraticunderground.com/10142580322
One wonders if these folks are acting in tandem, since both resignations happened within 2 hours of each other. Hmmmm...
Well good on both of you! Embarrass the shit out of Chump and Barr!
