This proves Durham is still at it

Maybe more specifically here in 28 U.S.C. §§ 526:
https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/28/526
"The Attorney General may investigate the official acts, records, and accounts of...the United States attorneys, marshals, trustees..." (italics mine)
So Durham, with the Attorney General powers delegated to him by Barr, would prosecute the case against DoJ itself.
We joke about Durham but it's a big friggin deal that he is specifically working on human rights crimes and would act as AG in prosecuting them.
EDIT: I think the big open question, that would likely land in the Supreme Court, is what happens if Durham finds the current AG is potentially a criminal, or vice versa? Which would take precedence? Does a provision exist for this?
Well, if we are to trust Q then I would guess the special council will take precedence at least in this case.
However, I don't quite see it spelled out in 509, 510, 515 above that Durham has same standing as AG in this case. Could you explain?
Fren, I think I got a bit excited in my dig and read something that wasn't there. That's not to say the Special Counsel is not an extremely powerful assignment, but on further reading I don't believe it equates to the same standing as AG.
For instance, 28 CFR § 600.7, seems to allow the AG to override a special counsel prosecution:

So one question this does raise is whose side is Merrick Garland on and whether he'll be around for the remainder of the operation?
It's ok fren. :/
That's too bad, though. This all has to be rewritten someday. It doesn't account for corruption at the top which we obviously have today. I am still hopeful Q & Q++ have some plan... It makes no sense at all that they would just lead us on for no reason at all.
But TY for all your research
