Those were (apparently) the only charges he had the evidence to bring. Whether or not it was a waste of time very much depends on what your expectations of Durham are.
For example, you expected (or desperately hoped) that Durham would bring the whole imaginary house of cards down and lock Hillary Clinton up - so I’m sure that to you, Durham has been wasting his time.
I just see a prosecutor bringing the charges he can make stick.
You see, I don’t even think you believe it yourself, deep down. You won’t even go on record here.
But I know you at least have to pretend that any day now, Hillary Clinton will be frog-marched to prison and the decade-long collective delusion will finally be vindicated.
No…my personal opinion after observing the last 6 years is that the corruption is so imbedded in our institutions…and so high up…the probability is that NOTHING will happen but…if…there’s a glimmer of hope, that justice is blind…and applied equally to all…then…and ONLY THEN…will this whole thing blow wide open. As MLK said, “I have a dream”.
When you personally observe the FBI Director, the DoJ, the CIA Director…who sends an email to the POTUS…all acknowledging the crimes done by the Secretary of State…and the conclusion that gets her off is she’s too stupid to know she’s done wrong…the probability is that NOTHING will happen here either.
