On the Hill, it’s not very often someone will proclaim their faith before Congress so when Special Counsel John Durham proclaimed his faith before lawmakers it went viral.
During the House Judiciary Committee hearing Democratic representative Steve Cohen of Tennessee attempted to get Durham to turn his back on Trump.
Cohen told Durham that anyone who associates with Trump will end up being damaged by him.
Durham responded “My concern about my reputation is with the people who I respect, and my family, and my Lord, and I’m perfectly comfortable with my reputation with them, sir”.

Here’s what Fox News reported:
During a tense exchange at Wednesday’s House Judiciary Committee, Justice Department Special Counsel John Durham offered a searing comeback to Rep. Steve Cohen’s, D-Tenn., cross-examination in which the lawmaker insisted that Durham had damaged his reputation by allegedly helping former President Donald Trump.
Durham dismissed the attack, claiming that he only cares about what people he respects, his family, and “my Lord” think about his reputation.
The retort earned applause by committee members and others in the room.
The back-and-forth between Cohen and Durham occurred at the congressional hearing held to ask the special counsel about his recently published report, which concluded that the FBI should never have launched an investigation into alleged collusion between Trump and Russia ahead of the 2016 election.
Special Prosecutor Durham hit radical liberal Rep. Steve Cohen (D) right between his eyes when Rep Cohen sought to attack Durham’s reputation.
Mr Durham’s response was classic…

Per CNN:
Special counsel John Durham defended himself Wednesday amid sharp criticism from Democrats, and also rejected former President Donald Trump’s attacks on former Attorney General Bill Barr, who appointed Durham to conduct his investigation into the FBI’s Russia probe.
Democrats were particularly critical of Durham’s handling of his own investigation, a concern he dismissed.
“My concern about my reputation is with the people who I respect, and my family, and my Lord,” Durham said responding to a House Democrat who accused him of running a biased investigation. “And I’m perfectly comfortable with my reputation with them, sir.”
Democratic Rep. Steve Cohen of Tennessee sharply criticized Durham, saying, “You got nothing,” in regards to the special counsel’s report.
ADVERTISEMENT“You had a good reputation,” Cohen said. “But the longer you hold on to Mr. Barr … your reputation will be damaged, as everybody’s reputation who gets involved with Donald Trump is damaged, he’s damaged goods. There’s no good dealing with him because you will end up on the bottom of a pyre.”
Durham puts deranged Democrat in his place as it relates to his reputation and President Trump: “My concern about my reputation is with the people who I respect, and my family, and my Lord. And I’m perfectly comfortable with my reputation with them, sir.” 🔥 pic.twitter.com/L0KDEl9Dyp
