Bull Durham at Justice

Bill Barr’s latest appointment reminds us how the department should operate.

Opinion: Barr Appoints John Durham to Investigate Spy Claims
In the aftermath of the Mueller probe, Attorney General William Barr responded to claims of FBI and DOJ abuse of power by appointing seasoned U.S. Attorney John Durham to investigate the matter. Image: AP
Better late than never: Attorney General William Barr has tasked U.S. Attorney John Durham to investigate the origins of the Trump-Russia investigation. If the Justice Department had done this two years ago, the country would be in a much better place.
Mr. Barr has made clear that he intends to restore his department’s credibility. The Durham appointment is a perfect example of that effort. This is how Justice ought to operate, from the nature of the probe to the choice of prosecutor. It’s a striking contrast to the hash that became of the Mueller investigation.
