Curious Coincidences and the Durham Investigation

WILLIAM BARR, FORMER UNITED STATES ATTORNEY GENERAL: What people forget about the Durham investigation, and I find it annoying, is that Durham came in, and he spent -- I asked him to spend some time looking at what I would say were peripheral issues. But we had to look at them, like the role of foreign intelligence services and so forth, because we were waiting for the I.G.'s report to be finished, which really got into what the FBI's, quote, spying on the president's campaign. And that was not provided until December of 2019. So at the end of 2019, that's when he is able to get into that stuff.

What happens three months later? COVID. Grand juries shut down across the nation. If -- whether or not he had a grand jury, if people know that you can't call a grand jury, they are not going to come in and voluntarily talk to you. So that definitely hampered the investigation until almost the eve of the election.
