... now Barr says the release will be after the election. Guess what the Durham Report is dead in the,water. It is not going to produce the catastrophic results to the Obamsa admin. trDump ranted, raved, and promised.This was originally Rudy's October Surprise, then handed to Barr, then handed to Durham. Problem is the evidence is based on shit Rudy pulled from his ass.

Is the Durham October Surprise Fizzling?
Conflicting reports indicate that there might be dissension in the ranks of those conducting the investigation.

As we head into the last month of the election season, we approach the time when political analysts expect a so-called “October surprise.” One possibility that has been bandied about stems from Attorney General William Barr’s assertion that he won’t wait until after the election to release the findings of U.S. Attorney John Durham’s investigation into the origins of the Trump-Russia probe. But recent events are sending mixed messages about the status of the investigation that began in May 2019. 

Durham interviewed former CIA Director John Brennan – August 22, 2020

According to multiple news reports, the Durham investigation has focused on a claim that Brennan politicized the intelligence that eventually led the FBI to launch a probe into possible coordination between Moscow and the Trump campaign during the 2016 election. That puts the former head of the CIA at the heart of Durham’s investigation.

According to Brennan’s spokesperson, Nick Shapiro, the former CIA director was interviewed by Durham for eight hours last month. Shapiro also stated that, while “Brennan expressed appreciation for the professional manner in which Mr. Durham and his team conducted the interview,” he “also told Mr. Durham that the repeated efforts of Donald Trump and William Barr to politicize Mr. Durham’s work have been appalling and have tarnished the independence and integrity of the Department of Justice.”
