Short answer: Barr and Durham are not Democrats. The democrats will investigate somebody for a crime even when they have insufficient evidence of criminal activity, and they'll do it for political purposes. That's what they did in the years long Russian Collusion investigation that started with nothing and ended with nothing. And that's what they did to Michael Flynn, they went looking for a crime they could charge him with, found nothing and so they interviewed him hoping to catch him in a false statement. You're supposed to start with a suspected crime and investigate who did it, not the other way around. That's what they've been doing for 4 years, trying to find ANYTHING they can pin on Trump. And have utterly failed.
But Barr and Durham are not doing what the Dems did. If they were, we'd see indictments by now or at least a narrative that reports the abuses of office that were done by some in the Obama administration, perhaps even implicating Obama himself and also Biden. But they're not doing that, won't do it before election day and Trump doesn't like it. Can there be any more proof needed to show that they are not doing his bidding? Yeah, they got the lawyer that falsified a legal document that was used in a FISA application, but unless they can proved a crime was committed then the best they can do is issue a narrative that spells out who did what that was abuse of power. As we saw with the Trump impeachment, abuse of power is not a crime; the democrats didn't prove their case anyway, but you can't take somebody to court unless and until you can prove they committed a crime.
Which does not mean that some really dirty politics wasn't going on, people used their office to go after Trump and his campaign knowing full well there was no reason to suspect criminal activity. Did they lie to an investigator? Maybe somebody will get charged for that or something like obstruction of justice. But IMHO Barr and Durham are conducting their business AS IT SHOULD BE DONE, without regard to what the person in the Oval Office thinks or wants. I got no idea if further indictments will be forthcoming after election day; but if Biden wins then it'll all be swept under the rug, nothing to see here. And it'll be back to business as usual, smearing the GOP and looking for ways to prosecute or persecute somebody for political purposes.
