Sessions released a memo instructing attorneys to pursue the most serious, readily provable offenses. McCabe was temporarily let off for lying. His celebration will prove premature. This has nothing to do with Durham's work. Barr's man Timothy Shea is now interim attorney for the United States District of Columbia. He replaced Jessie Liu:

"As a US attorney, Liu had overseen some ancillary cases referred by the Mueller investigation including the prosecution of longtime Trump associate Roger Stone, as well as a politically-charged case involving former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe, a frequent target of Trump's ire. In January 2020 she determined there was insufficient evidence to indict McCabe. She was then transferred to the Treasury Department to await her confirmation, as Barr replaced her with his close advisor Timothy Shea.[16][17] On February 11, 2020, Trump withdrew her nomination, two days before her confirmation hearing was scheduled to begin.[18] CNN reported that Liu's nomination was withdrawn because she was perceived to be insufficiently involved in the Stone and McCabe cases.[19] Liu resigned from the government on February 12, 2020.[20] Days later it was reported that before Liu's nomination was withdrawn, Trump was presented with a lengthy memo describing a variety of ways Liu was perceived to be disloyal, primarily by not prosecuting individuals Trump disliked.[21]"
