Durham team seeks redemption with Danchenko trial

Special counsel John Durham’s stinging loss in federal court this week cast doubt over the future of his probe of U.S. intelligence community wrongdoing in pursuing Trump-Russia collusion theories, but the Durham team still has a narrow window to redeem themselves. 

Even if Attorney General Merrick Garland wants to pull the plug on Mr. Durham’s investigation, he must wait until after the special counsel’s next trial in October.

That’s when the Durham team gets a crack at a key figure in compiling the unverified and now mostly debunked dossier that spawned a host of Trump-Russia collusion theories.
