What will always be bonkers to me is that Mueller's investigation lasted less than 2 years, while the Durham report lasted around 3.

What was the end result of the report, Durham said a preliminary investigation should have been opened and not a full investigation?

It seems like this was an easy way out for Durham to get trump what he wanted (saying that the full investigation should have been brought - while Durham covers himself because he couldnt say no investigation should have been brought). These seems like an obvious way out when you were picked by trump to run the investigation.

All of this is so dumb, it would be like people arguing HRC was correct to have a private server because Comey said "no reasonable prosecutor would prosecute."
