What Durham is doing is one of the great mysteries of the Barr era. I still think there's an above-zero chance he finds the opposite of Trumpists want, but I am less confident now that we know RR and O'Callaghan were turned. $1.5M is not a lot of money, really.

If you wanna don the Rose Coloreds ... we now know that Rosenstein and O'Callaghan ventured right up to the edge (and maybe beyond) of obstruction as Barr came aboard as AG. Durham is authorized to prosecute any crimes related to the Mueller investigation. 
And we know that O'Callaghan was in the NATSEC division up until RR elevated him to supervise the Russia investigation. Durham is empowered to investigate "intelligence, counter-intelligence or law enforcement activities." justice.gov/file/1370931/d…
We know that SOMEHOW there was no prosecution of anyone despite the fact that the USGOV has now acknowledged that Manafort was sharing polling data with Russian intelligence and Russia was using that information in the 2016 election.
And we know that AG Garland has taken no public action related to Durham, including formally notifying Congress of the scope of the appointment, despite the fact that he is now in charge of Durham.
All that said, my first guess is that Durham is up to no good, but just can't find much to make trouble with. If he prosecutes some of the Trumpist/Russian moles in the DOJ though, I'm OK with that.
This guy sounds a tiny bit nervous, actually washingtonexaminer.com/news/trey-gowd…
