🚨 JOHN DURHAM JR – MS-13 RICO UPDATE 🚨
Looks like John Durham Jr. was quietly made the Chief of the Long Island Division of the Eastern District of New York, as well as Chief of the Long Island Division’s Criminal Section in 2024...
[The Hillary Clinton Email investigation started in the EDNY and was moved to the SDNY – where John Durham Jr. clerked in 2001.]
(this is where the Ericsson/Telcordia/FISA data center used to spy on Billions is conveniently located)
As Chief of the Long Island Division, John oversees both the Criminal and Civil Division for the Long Island Office.
This is the LARGEST ACTIVE multinational Federal Taskforce on the planet and was created in 2019 to target MS-13.
John joined the Office in October 2005 and has served in the General Crimes and Long Island Criminal Sections. He has been appointed to several leadership positions in the Office and the Department of Justice, including Deputy Chief for the Long Island Criminal Section, the Office’s Capital Case Coordinator, the Attorney General’s Review Committee on Capital Cases and Chair of the MS-13 Subcommittee of the Attorney General’s Transnational Organized Crime Task Force. In August 2019, John was appointed to serve as the Director of Joint Task Force Vulcan (JTFV), a Department of Justice initiative to combat La Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13), where he spearheaded indictments against MS-13’s highest-ranking international leaders.
Durham Jr. became Chief in 2024.
During his time in the Office, John has investigated, prosecuted, and supervised a broad-range of federal offenses, including racketeering, murders, terrorism, civil rights, obstruction of justice, armed robberies, narcotics trafficking, money laundering, firearms and public corruption. Most significantly, he has directed the Office’s efforts to dismantle the operations of MS-13 in the EDNY, as well as nationally and internationally.
In a series of EDNY indictments, he has led teams of AUSAs and investigators that have arrested and convicted hundreds of MS-13 leaders, members and associates, including charges related to more than 65 murders committed in this district between January 2008 and the present. As the Director of JTFV, John led a team of AUSAs and law enforcement officers from across the country, and secured significant indictments against MS-13’s command and control structure across the United States, Central America and Mexico, including the first use of national security charges against MS-13 leaders. In addition to his work combatting MS-13, John has prosecuted defendants who attempted to travel to Yemen for the purpose of joining al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) and fighting jihad against United States allies, and members of numerous other violent criminal organizations, including the Bloods, 18th Street gang, Crips, Salvadorans With Pride and violent narcotics trafficking and robbery crews. Finally, in addition to his violent crime work, John has prosecuted several significant and sensitive public corruption and civil rights matters, including the former Chief of Department for the Suffolk County Police Department, the former Suffolk County District Attorney and former Chief of Investigations and Chief of the Government Corruption Bureau for the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office, a then-sitting Nassau County Legislator, a New York City Police Department sergeant and a Food and Drug Administration official.
His mandate and authority is absolutely massive – he started prosecution against MS-13's corporate divisions in 2024...
It should be a very interesting next couple of years... 💯
