In Defense of John Durham

John Durham is an American patriot, and he is old school. Alas, his selfless dedication to the bygone assumptions that gave America stability, that gave us the rule of law, renders him an anachronism: an institutionalist in defense of institutions that are no longer defensible — institutions that were transformed around him in the decades while he put his head down, faithfully enforcing the law, oblivious to which party was in charge.

Today, all that matters is which party is in charge. That is the coda for the House Judiciary Committee hearing this week on the Russiagate report he compiled over four years.
