CTH begins every outline of the ongoing Durham investigation with the following disclaimer: How is John Durham going to reveal everything that is possible about the deep state Trump targeting operation, and simultaneously handle the involvement of Robert Mueller, Andrew Weissmann and the Special Counsel team who were specifically appointed to cover it up?
The short answer is, Durham can’t. He’s not allowed to.
Durham can only outline the external participants in the corrupt activity of the U.S. government. No internal participants of government, legislative or executive, are allowed to be investigated.
In the latest court filings against Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann, the prosecution drops some significant discoveries outlining how the external participants lied to willfully blind FBI officials. Technofog has all the details:
On September 19, 2016, DNC/Clinton Campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann met with FBI General Counsel James Baker, where Baker was provided with data and “white paper” purporting to show covert communications (since proven to be bogus) between Russian Alfa Bank and the Trump Organization.
Special Counsel John Durham has just provided evidence that the night before – on September 18, 2016 – Sussmann sent Baker this text:
As it turns out, Sussmann was billing the Clinton Campaign for his work on the Alfa Bank hoax. This text from Sussmann to Baker is damning for Sussmann’s case, proving Sussmann’s efforts at deceiving a top official at the FBI about his clients, and demonstrating how Sussmann tried to convince Baker he was there to supposedly do the right thing.

This 2016 meeting between Sussmann and FBI Counsel James Baker took place in the lead up to the FBI and DOJ filing for the FISA warrant against the Trump campaign through Carter Page in October. Sussmann has legal exposure for his lying to the FBI about the purposes of the manipulated information that came from Rodney Joffe (Tech Executive-1 in the Sussmann indictment). As Technofog notes, Joffe also has legal exposure, however, he has not yet been charged.
While Sussmann was pushing fraudulent information into the open hands of the FBI, another Clinton campaign contractor, Fusion GPS, was pushing similarly constructed fraudulent information -including the Christopher Steele dossier- into the media, DOJ (Bruce Ohr) and FBI.
At the same time (September 2016), CIA Director John Brennan was briefing Barack Obama about the intentions of the Clinton campaign, and feeding information to Gang of Eight member Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid (now dead). Harry Reid was using his position in the Senate to weaponize the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence who became an active participant in the overall attacks against candidate Donald Trump.
After they failed to defeat Trump in the November 2016, election, all of the participants in the scheme shifted the focus of the Trump-Russia construct from defeating Trump to now removing Trump from office.
The SSCI retained their critical role as newly installed Vice-Chairman Mark Warner worked closely with the FBI to get a special counsel appointed. The Special Counsel, Robert Mueller and Andrew Weissmann, would then be used to take over the DOJ for two years and protect all of the participants.
During a period in February, March and April of 2017, the DOJ became less useful for the operations against Trump, as various DOJ officials from the Obama team exited Main Justice. The legislative branch, specifically the Senate Intelligence Committee, desperate to keep the attack against Trump in place, worked almost exclusively with the FBI team, Deputy Comey, Asst. Deputy McCabe and FBI Counsel James Baker during this phase.
It was during February and early March when FBI Director James Comey was falsely telling President Trump he was not under FBI investigation. However, despite Comey’s statements to Trump, the FBI Director would not make those statements public, because they were not true. Comey was manipulating Trump to retain the false premise underlying the investigation.
In early March 2017, the Democrats in the legislative branch were desperate to get a special counsel installed who would assist them in hiding all of the activity that took place prior. The collective effort was to flood the media with speculation, rumors and innuendo that Donald Trump was under FBI investigation. This collaborative effort between the SSCI, FBI and media would ultimately help the goal of getting a special counsel appointed.
On March 17, 2017, SSCI Vice-Chairman Mark Warner asked the FBI for a copy of the FISA application used against the Trump campaign, with the intent to leak it to the media (James Wolfe to Ali Watkins).
Warner could not ask the DOJ, because by that time Jeff Sessions was in place (recused March 2nd), and Acting Deputy AG Dana Boente was not considered as strong for the SSCI/FBI intents of the Trump removal effort.
FBI Director James Comey was schedule to testify to the House Intelligence Committee on March 20, 2017, where he would make the first public statement about President Donald Trump being under an active investigation.
Mark Warner coordinated with FBI leadership (Comey, McCabe) to receive the FISA application, so that he could leak it to the media in support of a push for the special counsel appointment. The March 17th leak of the FISA application was timed to support the testimony by Comey a few days later on March 20th.
During this critical phase, Main Justice (Sessions, Boente, et al) was carved out of the political planning effort, and the SSCI worked directly with the FBI.
James Comey gave his testimony (3/20/17), SSCI Security Director James Wolfe did as he was told and leaked the FISA application (3/17/20), and with major stories of Trump now officially under investigation in the public – and all of the manipulated evidence (including an unredacted version of the FISA application) now in the media vaults for exploitation – the piranha pool was full of blood and the media frenzy began.
As soon as Rod Rosenstein was confirmed as Deputy AG (early April), and with Jeff Sessions purposefully recused from anything Trump-Russia, the FBI shifted slightly and began the pressure campaign toward Main Justice to appoint the special counsel. The SSCI and FBI worked together to generate additional leaks to the media to get Robert Mueller appointed.
All of that internal activity is what John Durham is not permitted to look at, or else his investigation will be shut down. Hence the disclaimer “How is John Durham going to reveal everything that is possible about the deep state Trump targeting operation, and simultaneously handle the involvement of Robert Mueller, Andrew Weissmann and the Special Counsel team who were specifically appointed to cover it up?” The short answer is, he won’t.
Bill Barr was the Bondo… John Durham is the spray paint.
The corrupt and weaponized DOJ, FBI and SSCI government institutions remain unfazed.
That’s the rub.
In a really long line of coincidences!
your anti semitism is boring. and moronic
though if you are trying to get this website deplatformed, well then you are slightly more interesting
Nothing anti-anybody especially Israel and it’s beautiful people. I’m just sitting here scratching my head trying to figure out why this group here obviously hates me. Is there an Anti-Defamation League that I can complain to????
A liar lying to a lying organization of professional liars.
Allthings considered that should cancel out the evidence.
Durham discovered that the OIG had James Baker’s cell phones in January, 2022. Does anyone else think this text message from Sussmann was found on the James Baker cell phone recovered in January?
100%
Sundance:
This raises the obvious very first question that Durham asked Baker: How did Sussmann arrange this initial meeting with you – what was his pitch? Baker has unclear memory from many years prior (intentional perhaps). There are three choices – phone call being unlikely – Baker probably rules that out. Email or text (they were buddies and carpooled their kids to soccer etc.) Email, which they surely have, comes up blank.
So why wasn’t there a massive hunt for Baker’s cell phone? Wouldn’t the OIG been one of the first places to look? I recall the OIG when passing FBI phones on to Durham saying that he never asked (is that recollection correct?).
Such a text could have been completely exculpatory as easily as it appears to be damning to Sussmann. How does a prosecutor bring a case like that with a gaping whole like that in his evidence – how was the meeting set up? Did the grand jury not ask/wonder about that?
Sussmann’s counsel no doubt asked him the same question. They probably did forensics on his cell phone and/or Sussmann remembered. Did he level with his own counsel? Surely he would have know his counsel needed to know this to properly defend him. They may have been puzzled by this not being revealed in the initial indictment, and concluded therefore that it had somehow gone missing forever. Hence that wonderful statement by Sussmann counsel that there were no witnesses or written record of the meeting other than the two participants.
Why wasn’t there a 6 am FBI search/raid on Sussmann and his wife in their PJs with battering ram at the door, to seize Sussmann’s computers and cell phones? Durham probably figured it was long gone into the custody of counsel, and hammered into little pieces.
A fascinating development!!!
Sundance, can I wear that badge you gave me? Margot Cleveland was right behind me in her article in the Federalist today.

Durham knew the timeline of the coup d’etat and treason. The cellphone provided evidence— enough evidence to get Baker to turn states evidence.
I still have faith in Durham. He’s operating behind enemy lines, and he has to go slowly …
Reminds me of a great line from Batman (1989), “If this guy could touch Grissom, I’d have handed him his lungs by now.”
They’ll only let Durham do anything if Hillary tries to run in 2023.
Until anyone actually does anything about this stolen election I am not interested in little tidbits to satisfy the appetite.
Nothing will happen. Merrick Garland has his orders.
Where is the Ms Linsey legislation to protect the Durham investigation….oh thats right it only applies if the investigation is about Trump.
Our time is better spent identifying and expelling traitor Republicans who enabled the steal and coverup.
You shouldn’t build a House of Cards on a Swamp! The cards absorb moisture, get weak and collapse into the muck. Thanks to CTH, the moisture of TRUTH is weakening the cards, making the high & mighty feel the House shaking. Won’t be long now!
Timing is everything for Durham.
We have a not-quite-so-honest administration in charge of Justice Department. I would rather see slow, but sure, iron clad prosecutions than sacrifice quality for speed.
Durham only reveals crimes after the statute of limitations. All spray paint.
Apparently you didn’t read all the filings made late Monday
what is worse is that it will all go nowhere because biden/harris will pardon all involved. thats why durham should go slow until the midterms when maybe a conservative majority could stop it somehow.
Oh it is WAY more than a “rub”! It is an outrage!
Trump knows. A lot of people think he is just putting on a dog and pony show. Something will happen or all but about 300 in the deep state running world government will be living in boxes eating prison food working 14 hours a day or dead. I saw Divine intervention when Trump came to win in 2016. If that’s so it would be folly to think God just gave up. We should know this year sometime.
I hear you, yet pray you are wrong. I hope that Durham is real, and part of The Storm. The pieces do seem to be coming together, Hunter Biden, the Democrat stronghold in Ukraine falling, voter fraud, etc. more good news than bad.
Durham’s job is to diminish everything we know about Russiagate. The “investigation” will stop at Sussman, The lefties and MSM will then troll us that Sussmann is a rogue attorney and the vast “Russiagate conspiracy” from the point of view of Trump and supporters really was miniscule.
I think that the most interesting thing little remarked on is the intelligence report to Obama in July [?] 2016 that Hilary was launching a phony attempt to link Trump to Russia.
They weren’t only spying on Trump. They were spying on Hillary.
Obama’s crew did not trust her even though she was their intended successor.
Evil often evil mars.
It is possible that they may yet harm each other
Durham may be allowed to hang Hillary.
It’s a rat trap intended to keep HRC out of the 2024 election. There will be no justice for those I side the FBI.
Lying to the FBI is only criminal for non politicians friends or family. Everyone else jailed.
When I hear the words lied to fbi, reminds me of the words I’m telling mommy on you…
understand SD’s point but there is risk for these hidden players. No one can predict what people like Sussman, Eiias, et al will do to stave off even one day in prison or even a pardoned felony conviction. Maybe Durham is going to let these low level apparatchiks do the wet work for him.
The only reason the Sussman indictment is moving forward is because it can be used to further the narrative that the doj operated in good faith. Of all the deceptions and lies told during this ordeal, this is the one they choose to focus on.
