Special Counsel John Durham Close To Securing Prison Sentence For Former FBI Swamp Lawyer

Remember John Durham? The special counsel appointed to investigate the players involved in the Trump-Russia collusion investigation?

A former FBI lawyer who pleaded guilty to falsifying a document during the agency's investigation of contacts between former President Donald Trump's 2016 campaign and Russia is due to be sentenced on Friday, with a special counsel appointed under Trump asking a judge to have him serve prison time.

Special counsel John Durham recommended up to six months in prison, suggesting Clinesmith acted out of "Political or personal bias" against Trump.

Another former special counsel, Robert Mueller, documented numerous contacts between Trump's campaign and Russia including by Page.

Barr last month disclosed he had made Durham a special counsel in October, a position that would make it more difficult for new President Joe Biden's administration to remove him.

Durham is investigating the process the FBI used when it sought a warrant from a judge for surveillance on Page.

Remember, Durham was only appointed special counsel because there is a lot more to be investigated and discovered.
