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

(1,696 posts)The report (and I use that term very very loosely) will be another Barr bull shit lying document that will be just ONE of their end of September/ October surprises.
We know it's coming and I sure wish the Biden spox would start damaging it RIGHT THE FUCK NOW. Don't be put in a position to react. Act. (Just my 2 cent).

Now I can't stop picturing that greasy weasel from Epoch Times, who's pushing that BS "Spygate" CT everytime I click on a YouTube video, getting all excited and squawking about this nothingburger too.
I wish I could make it stop.
I'd like to pull him through the screen by his scrawny neck and punch him in the face repeatedly and just beat the Tump outta him until that stupid look was permanently erased. Spygate? pfft we'd see if he could even remember his name when I got done with him.
