Since his 2019 appointment by then-Attorney General William Barr, Durham has secured one guilty plea from an FBI lawyer, Kevin Clinesmith, based on evidence compiled by a Justice Department inspector general. Clinesmith got 12 months of probation but no jail time. The only other case Durham's team developed, charging cybersecurity lawyer Michael Sussmann with one count of lying to the FBI, ended in acquittal after six hours of jury deliberation.

Evidence in the Sussmann case was overwhelming but ignored by a carefully selected jury. Called jury nullification.
