The report estimates that this strategy actually this caused *at least *a one year delay in starting the investigation into Trump and co-conspirators.
So while Republicans repeatedly barked that the investigations into Trumps actions were motivated by political animus, the *exact opposite* was the case.
If anything, Trump was getting preferential treatment because of who he is.
As part of his investigation, Durham also uncovered that the Obama administration sought a warrant to surveil a foreign policy advisor to Trump and that no support could be found for charges made in the infamous Steele dossier alleging wrongdoing by Trump. Former British intelligence official Christopher Steele was offered $1 million by the FBI to corroborate the allegations made in the document but was unable to do so. Durham also reported that former vendors for the Hillary Clinton campaign refused to hand over documents he requested as part of his investigation.
Sherwin’s office, with the help of the FBI, was responsible for prosecuting all crimes stemming from the Jan. 6 attack. He had made headlines the day after by refusing to rule out the possibility that President Donald Trump himself could be culpable. “We are looking at all actors, not only the people who went into the building,” Sherwin said in response to a reporter’s question about Trump. “If the evidence fits the elements of a crime, they’re going to be charged.”
Durham will testify Tuesday at a closed-door meeting of the House Intelligence Committee as well as a public hearing with the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday at 9 am. Both committees are overseen by Republicans in charge of Congress who have asked him to detail the results of his four-year investigation into false allegations of Trump-Russia collusion.

Despite the constant barrage of complaints from Republicans that Biden’s Justice Department is “maliciously targeting” Trump for polticial reasons, a new report details how Attorney General Merrick Garland was actually *holding back* for political reasons.
According to the report published in the Washington Post, AG Garland, FBI Director Wray, and acting U.S. Attorney for Washington DC Michael Sherwin were avoiding directly investigating or implicating Trump for what happened on January 6th because they wanted to avoid the appearance of partisanship.
As a result, the investigation focused instead started by looking at much lower profile suspects.
