U.S. Attorney John Durham has been appointed by Attorney General William Barr to the special task of investigating the use of the national security system to investigate Donald Trump, as a candidate and as president.
Durham has the same level of power as Robert Mueller had, and, like Mueller, is empowered to lodge criminal charges.
The mere fact that Barr avoided using the term "special counsel" or some such does not alter Durham's status. Durham's previous service as a special counsel was more low key, with few people hearing of him. He had been appointed to investigate the CIA's erasure of videotapes of "enhanced" interrogations in which captives were waterboarded.
The press's lack of interest in that inquiry demonstrates the CIA's influence in editorial decision-making.
Durham refrained from filing criminal charges in that matter, it has been reported.
