Special counsel, Durham can't be easily removed by the Biden Administration as only an attorney general can fire a special counsel. Any firing must be made in writing and carried out only for specific reasons like misconduct and conflict of interest. As a special counsel, Durham won't be directly supervised by the Justice Department but can be required by Biden's attorney general to explain his investigation and its procedural steps.
Any attempt to fire the special counsel would likely be seen as political interference and interpreted as an attempt to hide wrongdoing by Obama or Biden administration officials. When Barr first revealed Durham's investigation in May 2019, he said,"what happened to the president in the 2016 election and throughout the first two years of his presidency was abhorrent. It was a grave injustice and it was unprecedented in American history. The Durham investigation is trying to get to the bottom of what happened. And it will determine whether there are federal laws broken. Those who broke the laws will be held to account.
In Barr's Tuesday letter notifying the House and Senate Judiciary Committees of Durham's appointment as a special counsel, he said that he had originally intended Durham to complete his report by summer 2020, but that it had been delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic.of California accused Barr of using Durham to settle political scores after Barr and Trump depart.
"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," Schiff wrote.
Finding out the truth is not 'settle old scores.'
All these efforts on Trump’s behalf were done because it was going to help Trump win,but because it was going to help Trump cope with a loss, he can not accept defeat. That meant no Republican with career ambitions could accept it, either.{re-tweet}
