To bring try his case against Igor Danchenko, John Durham is going to have to convince the FISA Court to let him disseminate information damaging to Carter Page that has been sequestered to protect Carter Page.

Judge Royce Lamberth sentenced two prominent January 6 defendants to 41 month sentences in the last week. One thing both sentencing hearings did -- whether motivated out of genuine remorse or as part of a cynical ploy to butter up a judge -- is reaffirm the legitimacy of the judicial process. Both these men recognized their actions as crimes. Both recognized the legitimacy of a judge imposing sentence for it. And both defendants recognized the professionalism of those at DOJ working to prosecute the case.

John Durham wrote the Igor Danchenko in a way that will allow Danchenko to make credible discovery requests on the counterintelligence investigations into Carter Page, Sergei Millian, and Oleg Deripaska, as well as two FISA orders.

But in this case, the report may be useful for demonstrating that Trump cannot be treated with presidential prerogatives in the last months of his Administration.
