the new criminal charges arn't from the durham everyone thinks it is, its from new york. durham JR. barr appointed BOTH of them to run SEPARATE investigations. Everyone knew about daddy, none of the paperwork and talk going on during these investigations specified which one was doing which. it was never even made clear before that two separate durham investigators where appointed.
while everyone was watching the dad doing his investigation. his SON was secretly doing a separate investigation with noone watching over his shoulder or getting in his way, because they didn't even know he existed.
durham 'jr' isn't "notable" enough for wikipedia, he isn't even listed as his dads offspring.
JR is investigating biden / ukrain & trump just gave him the declass it all authority he had previsouly given barr.
Gotcha. Thanks buddy. Massive if true. Don’t quite follow the bit in Barr’s letter at the start though - is he saying Barr was deliberately vague as to which Mr Durham he was referring to?
Cheers brother. The jury is still out on Barr. He acted like a useless swamp donkey and hiring people in government was never our POTUS’ strong suit but there was a reason he was nice to Barr in response to his letter. I dunno anymore. My head is pickled
I also cannot see any mention of Jr, only “Mr Durham”. Weird how there are lots of news reports from the time saying that Durham Sr wasn’t eligible because the special counsel had to be pulled from outside government, and that it appeared Barr had ignored that, though..
Ah WTF I’ve just searched to try dig deeper and found a load of tweets from people saying Durham was ineligible to be prosecutor.
I’m not clever enough to do the quote thing so this is a copy paste:
“ De la Vega also pointed out that Barr’s order was not “in accordance with” one of the major federal regulations governing the appointment of special counsels.
“He couldn’t have because a special counsel must come from outside the government,” she noted, before citing the language from the letter to congressional leadership. “Barr appointed Durham ‘with the powers and authority of a Special Counsel.’ That’s not a thing.”
“An individual named as Special Counsel shall be a lawyer with a reputation for integrity and impartial decisionmaking, and with appropriate experience to ensure both that the investigation will be conducted ably, expeditiously and thoroughly, and that investigative and prosecutorial decisions will be supported by an informed understanding of the criminal law and Department of Justice policies. The Special Counsel shall be selected from outside the United States Government. Special Counsels shall agree that their responsibilities as Special Counsel shall take first precedence in their professional lives, and that it may be necessary to devote their full time to the investigation, depending on its complexity and the stage of the investigation.“
Are we saying that John H Durham would’ve been ineligible but it was actually Junior who was eligible??
Can someone please explain this to me in plain English. Can’t follow the twitter thread. Too little sleep and too little coffee

Fake news. The tweet says "Jr" pointing to the letter but the letter has ZERO mentions of any Junior:
