Merrick Garland, President Joe Biden’s nominee to be Attorney General, appears to have promised Sen. Chuck Grassley in testimony on Feb. 23 that Special Counsel John Durham will be allowed to complete his job looking into the Spygate scandal. Or did he? Garland said, "I understand that [Special Counsel John Durham] has been permitted to remain his position and sitting here today, I have no reason to think that that was not the correct decision… I don’t have any reason to think that he should not remain in place.” Durham is investigating the origins of the investigation into former President Donald Trump in 2016 on false allegations he and his campaign were Russian agents who helped Moscow hack the Democratic National Committee and put the emails onto Wikileaks. Garland also appeared to say that he wouldn’t block any report from Durham from being issued, telling Grassley, “I am a great believer in transparency. I would, though, have to talk with Mr. Durham and understand the nature of what he has been doing and the nature of the report. I am very much committed to transparency and to explaining Justice Department decision-making.” Later, in follow up question from Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), Garland was clear that he is not yet ready to make a full decision about Durham, stating, “I have to be there and learn what’s going on, before I can make a decision. But as I said, I have no reason to doubt that the decision to keep him in place, and to continue his investigation, was in any way wrong.” So, here, again, Garland would not fully commit to allowing Durham to see the investigation through. He’s holding out the possibility that Durham could be removed. Why?
