This proves Durham is still at it

It took seven years for John Durham to wrap up the Whitey Bulger case. Hopefully having improved technology to track everything case related, and a larger staff, is helping his case move along swiftly. But most here would agree that we want it done right so convictions come.
This is why I think Huber and Horowitz were tapped to help. They had whole teams investigating pieces of this large scale fraud to help Durham. Their cases went off the radar and closed without much commotion, I think, because they were part of Durham’s much bigger ongoing investigation. The military is also helping.
I asked about Huber in my other group & this is what I got:
Huber resigned 2/28/21. There is, to my knowledge, no clue as to whether he was still investigating the CF/U-1, or, if he was, whether that investigation was handed off to anyone else. Also, when I say "resigned" I mean he gave up his position in the DoJ a month or so into the Biden admin, as did multiple other folk, which is not at all unexpected in an administration change. So, we really don't know.
However, 1/9/20 the WaPo printed an article which includes this: "As a part of his review, Huber examined documents and conferred with federal law enforcement officials in Little Rock who were handling a meandering probe into the Clinton Foundation, people familiar with the matter said. Current and former officials said that Huber has largely finished and found nothing worth pursuing — though the assignment has not formally ended and no official notice has been sent to the Justice Department or to lawmakers, these people said." I'll point out two things. This is the WaPo, first off, and we know how hell-bent the WaPo has been to run narrative against 45. And there is that key phrase in there: "...people familiar with the matter said." Followed by "not formally ended". There has never been a formal ending to it that I know of. In June of '20 even 45 took a verbal shot at Huber, rather like he does when asking "Where's Durham?" There was some overlap of what Huber was tasked with by Sessions, and what Durham was tasked with by Barr. So, there is some possibility that aspects of Huber's investigation were handed over to Durham. But, again, I have seen nothing to back that thought. Bottom line? Huber is out, but I am not sure I trust media announcements that his investigation ended.
