<p>Special counsel <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/john-durham" target="_blank" rel="noopener">John Durham</a> received a round of applause with his response to a House Democrat who scolded him during a hearing before the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday.</p>
<p>Rep. Steve Cohen (D-TN) warned Durham that his association with former President Donald Trump and former Attorney General William Barr threatened to damage his &#8220;good&#8221; image. &#8220;You will end up on the bottom of a pyre,&#8221; Cohen said.</p>
<p>Given a chance to offer a reply, Durham explained why he was not worried about it.</p>
<p>&#8220;My concern about my reputation is with the people who I respect and my family and my Lord, and I&#8217;m perfectly comfortable with my reputation with them, sir,&#8221; Durham said.</p>
<p>&#8220;Well said, God bless you,&#8221; Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) said, after which a round of applause could be heard. Another lawmaker was then called upon to address the witness.</p>

<p>Durham appeared before the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday to talk about his report criticizing the FBI for how it conducted its investigation into alleged links between Trump&#8217;s 2016 campaign and Russia.</p>
<p>Leading up to the back-and-forth about Durham&#8217;s reputation, Cohen and Durham talked about how Trump appointed Durham to be U.S. attorney in Connecticut and Barr later appointed Durham to be special counsel.</p>
<p>Cohen pressed Durham on whether he believes Trump is a good judge of character. The congressman got into how Barr has fallen out of favor with the former president. Cohen listed examples of how Trump has denigrated Barr, calling him a &#8220;gutless pig,&#8221; a &#8220;coward,&#8221; and a &#8220;RINO&#8221; — which is a derogatory term that stands for &#8220;Republican in name only.&#8221;</p>

<p>Though Durham refused to opine on Trump&#8217;s character, he did comment on Trump&#8217;s insults against Barr. &#8220;In my experience, none of those are correct,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>&#8220;So Mr. Trump isn&#8217;t that good of an expert on character and judging people?&#8221; Cohen asked. After Durham shrugged and declined to respond, Cohen surmised that Durham&#8217;s opinion is that Trump is a bad judge of character based on his defense of Barr.</p>
<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s outside the scope of my report,&#8221; Durham quipped with a smile. More laughter followed.</p>
