"Attorney General William Barr has appointed U.S. attorney John Durham as a special counsel to investigate the origins of the FBI’s probe of Russian interference in the 2016 election."
"The appointment formalizes Durham’s ongoing probe, but more significantly, would give Durham latitude to continue the politically explosive investigation after President-elect Joe Biden takes office in January."
"The extension of Durham's probe into the Biden administration raises the specter that it could stretch even longer than Mueller's 22-month probe of Russian interference and the Trump campaign. Democrats noted the duration of Durham's efforts and blasted Barr for his decision."
“In an appointment secretly conferred on Durham prior to the election and only disclosed now that Barr concedes there is no evidence of election fraud to overturn the results, Barr is using the special counsel law for a purpose it was not intended: to continue a politically motivated investigation long after Barr leaves office"

Must be Billy Barr felt he could at least appease Trump after declaring even he couldn't find any fraud in the 2020 election and had to publicly admit the truth
Interesting how the champion for the imperial presidency, who was appointed as Trump's fixer for largely authoring a lengthy narrative on his disapproval of Mueller investigating a sitting President, appoints a Special Prosecutor during a lame duck period on his way out the door.
Matters little, obvious Durham ain't found anything in the seven months he has been at it, and although it is questionable if Biden could fire Durham, the new AG can control the scope and size of Druham's investigation, just like Rosenstein and Barr did with Mueller, ain't going to be any probe into "the truth ain't the truth" Rudi's Biden innuendos
