Speculation on Reasons Behind Why Durham's Chief Deputy Resigned - Requires Inside Knowledge Speculation on Reasons Behind Why Durham’s Chief Deputy Resigned — Requires Inside Knowledge "Once the “filter” work is done, the “filter team” is disbanded because they cannot remain with the prosecution — they possess information about compelled statements that the prosecution cannot know.  A “Garrity” file is created that has all the information and statements that have been removed from the IG case file, and that is maintained separately in case the need ever arises to document what information was not given to the prosecution team. These are well established and well-understood practices and procedures in DOJ.   Durham would have needed someone he knew and trusted, and someone who had done sensitive work like this in the past to lead that “filter team.”  Their decisions on what to provide the prosecution team and what to hold back would be crucial in how the case developed. If indictments are imminent, this is generally the point you would expect the “filter team” to depart. I don’t know if Dannehy was part of the “filter team” or led the “filter team.”  But the 6-12 month time frame she was originally given would be consistent with that role.  She fits the part of someone whom Durham would have called on to serve in that role, and the time of her departure is consistent with having served in such a capacity." https://www.redstate.com/shipwreckedcrew/2020/09/12/speculation-on-why-durhams-chief-deputy-resigned-today-requires-inside-knowledge/
