Another significant filing by John Durham’s special counsel team to the court was made last night. {READ HERE} Within the filing the staff accidentally did not seal the attachments which are emails between Fusion GPS and many major media outlets. Whoops.
♦ First, the background. In a previous liable lawsuit by Alfa Bank against Fusion GPS, the Russian bank was able to get the internal emails between Fusion GPS and major media outlets as part of the lawsuit discovery phase. Despite the lawsuit failing to advance, those prior emails now become evidence for John Durham to use in the case against Clinton lawyer Michael Sussmann.
Michael Sussmann, a Perkins Coie lawyer, is accused of lying to the FBI about who he was working for when Sussmann was trying to push the Trump-Russia collusion story to trigger an investigation. Former FBI legal counsel James Baker has said Sussmann told the FBI he was operating independently as a concerned citizen. However, Sussmann is defending himself by saying: (a) he never said he was not working for Clinton at the time he brought the FBI the material, a demonstrable falsehood; and (b) he was motivated by altruism, unrelated to efforts to help Clinton, another demonstrable falsehood.
As the case has proceeded all of the parties are now claiming legal and work product ‘privileges’ to stop Durham from using their communication and networked conspiracy against Michael Sussmann, and by extension them, in court. Fusion GPS, Perkins Coie, Marc Elias, Michael Sussmann, Hillary for America (Clinton campaign), Robby Mook (Campaign Manager), along with Tech-Executive-1 Rodney Joffe, are all claiming some form of privilege.
Last night, in a responsive filing connected to all of the privilege claims, John Durham deconstructed the nature of their defense. Techno-Fog has a good outline {SEE HERE} of the court documents. However, attached to the filing were exhibits supposed to be filed under seal that the Durham staff “accidentally” did not seal right away.
The exhibit consists of the emails between Fusion GPS and media as the opposition research team attempted to push the Trump-Russia collusion story into the media bloodstream -through their ideologically aligned allies- in 2016.
The emails show how extensive Fusion GPS co-founders Glenn Simpson and Peter Fritsch pushed the Trump Russia story. The emails show the coordinated effort of Fusion GPS with multiple journalists, producers and media outlets. You can read the emails HERE.
I’m not going to publish the emails because the contacts, addresses, phone numbers etc. are not redacted; but you can clearly see the scale of who was involved.
The emails show journalists from Politico, The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, CNN, ABC, CBS and NBC all feeding from the same trough of manipulated information being fed from Fusion GPS. The journalists, producers and Fusion GPS all working in close coordination to push the false Trump-Russia collusion conspiracy.
The accidentally public emails highlight a soup-to-nuts ‘who’s-who‘ of political disinformation. {SEE HERE}
Additionally, the Durham filing itself {SEE HERE} gives us another granular look at how the prosecution is walking the tightrope of carefully balanced prosecution of leftist activists, lawfare people and political organizations outside government.
Within the filing the privilege claims are easily dispatched by prosecutor Andrew J. DeFilippis, Assistant Special Counsel to John Durham. One key paragraph is a little funny in that the prosecution uses the defense position against them. The prosecution states the “purported privilege holders who have intervened do so in a case in which the defendant has denied representing any client when he brought the Russian Bank-1 allegations to the FBI.”
The privilege controversy itself seemingly entraps Michael Sussmann. How can Sussmann claim attorney-client privilege when his defense is to say he wasn’t working on behalf of any client when he brought the information to the FBI? Whoopsie daisy.
All of that said, there’s another interesting aspect to this specific filing if you stand back away from the granular legal details and look at the arc of the prosecution within it. It appears to me that Michael Sussmann is not the REAL target of this prosecution, Marc Elias is.
♦ It looks like John Durham is using the prosecution of Sussmann, and all the details within the case, to box in a very easy prosecution of Michael Sussmann’s boss, the infamous Democrat lawyer, Marc Elias. Read the filing and you see how Perkins Coie and Marc Elias are clearly and purposefully outlined as having the major role in the activity of Sussmann. All prosecutorial roads against Sussmann are leading to Elias.
That risk would certainly explain why Marc Elias left Perkins Coie immediately after the Alfa Bank lawsuit against Fusion GPS revealed the connective tissue, and then John Durham start focusing on Perkins Coie and Michael Sussmann.
Given the ideological and political nature of the DOJ under AG Merrick Garland and Deputy AG Lisa Monaco, it makes sense that John Durham would not and importantly, could not, go directly at Marc Elias.
Marc Elias is the biggest Lawfare fish in the world of Democrats. He is the primary legal mind and legal entity around the entire Democrat apparatus from elections to electoral maps. Elias is the leftists modern legal Moses.
If John Durham was viewed to be targeting Elias directly, his special counsel investigation would be shut down tomorrow, regardless of political backlash. Marc Elias is to outside government as Barack Obama is to inside government.
The DOJ would immediately stop Durham if he was obviously targeting Elias. Inside the firestorm that follows, the political media would rally the wagons around protecting Garland, Monaco and Biden ….and after a few days of republicans in the legislative branch gnashing their teeth on Hannity, Ingraham et al, the explosive decision would blow over. DC would make or create some massive shiny thing to cover the controversy.
Bottom Line: Marc Elias is protected by both wings of the professionally political UniParty.
That said, if in the prosecution of Michael Sussmann, it became obvious that Marc Elias was guilty of organizing a criminal conspiracy to defraud the Unites States government on behalf of the Clinton campaign, well, that would be incidental, and that’s how Durham could get to Elias.
Marc Elias is likely to be the biggest catchable fish in the carefully navigated prosecution of those outside government.
Keep watching.
Look at that disgusting face- just another street thug who has been getting away with murder. (figuratively speaking of course). Elias is a one man crime spree.
If Durham can hook this big fish, it will have been worth the wait.
Comey, Brennan, and Clapper would be nice 🙂
Mueller if he’s competent to stand trial.
Or the real Big Fish…Obama.
Mueller, if he’s competent, you say. Maybe we should apply that standard to Joseph Robinette Biden Junior; is he competent to be The Leader Of The Free World?
Soros
Why wouldn’t Mueller be competent to stand trial.
Joe biden as (p)resident should be example A for a competency example.

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2022/04/durham-drops-bomb-lying-adam-schiff-involved-russia-collusion-sham-july-2016/
If Durham can nab Shifty Adam Schiff, I will never ask for anything again for Chrismas, Mother’s day or my birthday.
Amen.
But I still don’t get why Durham is doing anything at all. Barr et al were anti Trump and part of the uni-party. What do they gain by prosecuting anyone and in turn making PDJT look good in the eyes of Americans? And also clearing a path for him to easily win in 2024.
“Why?”
Why, because G_d works in mysterious ways.
Have faith.
maybe barr misread durham?(possibly the lone honest featherless biped in the swamp?)
Spraypaint Durham hasn’t actually done anything yet. There is a statute of limitations for these crimes.
This way the DOJ/FBI can say that they did an investigation and in the end, most of crimes committed “didn’t rise to the level of criminality”. I hope I’m wrong, but I’ve seen this kind of whitewash before.
Oh, trust me, we are not wrong. Nothing will ever happen.
Just as there are factions within the right who seek to take down conservatives to bolster the Uniparty progressives. There are also factions on the left that seek the same.
Not all sides are a clear as most people mistakenly try and make them.
What’s not surprising to me is that Durham has protected and completely covered for the precious agencies… Which of you know his history, is his speciality. Just as it was Barr’s back in the day.
Over three quarters of history is on display here as we are simply seeing another chapter being written on the government corruption racket.
Obama didn’t start this and no party has ANY interest in stopping it. No one is on your or the constitution’s side.
Stop being cynical, it’s easy to blame everyone but yourself. There are mostly good freedom loving nationalists on the right and mostly freedom hating globalists on the Left. As for politicians and their bureaucrat lackys, most but not all are corrupt.
getting your news from mainstream media would lead you to believe that way. Researching beyond mainstream media, the truth will open your eyes. Everything they have done for 6 years is fall for every trap the Trump administration set for them. Problem is they never go back and tell their viewers they were wrong. You just have to keep up with which bowl of popcorn is salted.
Barr hates Trump as much as anybody but he found out that the government spied on him. That was too much.
Elias will likely continue to swim. If he actually is hooked at all, it will only be a temporary timeout in the live well that previously held James Wolfe and Kevin Clinesmith.
Ask any moonbat you know if they’ve heard of any of these three.
LOOK AT HIS THROAT. DOES HE HAVE GOITER? OR WORSE….wILL HE DIE SOON?
Too high for a goiter and too smooth and contiguous to represent enlarged lymph nodes…me thinks he is just really thick-necked and fugly.
He’s had a neck lift and it’s starting to sag again. he needs another.
Hopefully lymphoma….. from AIDS from rendezvous with Captain No-Bias Strzok.
Career crooks.
Looks like Ralphy in the Christmas Story.
Man alive, I saw the pic and thought “he looks like Ralphy in A Christmas Story, then I scrolled down and saw you had already posted that thought!
Elias is the POS behind the lawfare campaign to use “insurrection” to stop candidates from appearing on ballots. MTG was roped into that just recently there is nothing I’d enjoy more than seeing Elias and Sussman broke and in Federal prison like the lives they’ve destroyed.
Throw in Weissman.
Haha, Seneca, just what I said to myself when I looked at that goblin face! Then I saw your comment! 😀
It’s such hypocrisy that the same lawyers who now want to claim privilege to protect themselves were all cheering when Roger Stone’s attorneys were subject to FBI raids to seize his privileged communications.
If the left didn’t have double standards they wouldn’t have any at all.
And, I hope, in my lifetime, I get to see these crooks in jail, where they belong.
Exactly! Every single privilege or legal protection in federal law only applies to Democrats.
It’ll never happen. They are just teasing you with bread crumbs that lead to nothing.
I hope I get to see their heads on pikes outside the capitol.
Great points in this article that the direct route to Elias leads to the third rail, while the indirect route might kick up enough criminal info that eventually other considerations have to take precedence, ie protecting the inner workings of the uniparty-17 agency conspiracy. Maybe then Elias gets jettisoned, along with Hildebeast?
Time to flip Chelsea. She is not really employed nor is her scrubble-faced lazy husband (who was betarded enough to bet on the strength of Greek Bonds and lose $37M of family and friends’ money with help from Hillary) yet she has 2 kids and lives in $15, 000,000 penthouse in Manhattan…… hate for her kids to watch their mommy go to jail…..hmmmmmmmm. Would be sweet revenge for a commie family to have a kid snitch on their parents…
I suspect this just fits the overall plan to send Hildabeast a message.” We have a plan and you ain’t in it. Go away!” If the investigation was serious there would already be indictments, chains rattling in the halls and alligator tears in the interview rooms.
I wonder how many communications from Georgia to that homemade closet SCIF got washed away with a “cloth” and some of that bleach bit stuff?
Mark Elias should be flayed alive, then burned at the stake for the snake he is..
No, no, no! Flayed alive and then the blood eagle.
I would go with scaphism.
I don’t know any of those terms, but they sound medieval.
So yes, I agree.
Looked them up. You guys are merciless lol
Same here.
Along with Rahm Emanuel.
Any possibility that the e-mails were accidently released on purpose?
Or purposely released by accident.
Def done on purpose to make the perps squirm
That was my first thought . . . could this lead to a mistrial/prosecutorial misconduct, and a dismissal by the court of the entiure case? Inquiring minds want to know. Could it deep-six the entire matter without Durham having either to take the blame, as in “Oopsie,” or pursue it to the inevitable (HRC) conclusion?
No
My first thought, if I shared Sundance’s pessimism
“The privilege controversy itself seemingly entraps Michael Sussmann.” I wouldn’t use “entrap” here, as that is a legal term allowing defendants to escape prosecution due to misbehavior by the prosecutor (ala Gretchen’s “kidnappers”). “Hoist by his own petard,” works better (“petard” being a very early bomb used to blow locks open, Shakespeare coining the “hoist” phrase painting a picture of someone whose own bomb blows them into the sky.
I like how the bible says it, “may they fall into pits of their own making”.
https://redstate.com/bonchie/2022/04/25/john-durham-springs-his-trap-after-hillary-for-america-walks-right-into-it-n555688
“Do you see the issue? In one case, Hillary for America is saying: “Oh, Sussmann was just giving us legal services.” In another case, on the exact same payments, they are admitting: “Oh, Sussmann was not actually being paid for legal services.” You would think the judge overseeing Durham’s prosecution wouldn’t find that tactic very cute.
Sure enough, Durham is now springing his trap. On Saturday, he issued subpoenas before the jury to elicit open testimony on the issue of claiming attorney-client privilege.”
So, I am trying to determine if this release was purely accidental or if it was a deliberate action taken to get the information into the public sphere by a backdoor method (Oh, oops! HOW did that happen? Wink, wink…)
If it is the later, was it a white hat trying to force the issue with various government/media entities who have been able to stay under the radar up until now? OR, was it a desperate attempt to protect powerful people who might be facing possible prosecution, but who will now claim that they cannot get a fair trial since the release of confidential information would be prejudicial to them in front of a jury?
Am I way off base in thinking this? Yes, I am a cynic, but this release just seems too convenient to me…
VM, I’m fully onboard with your cynical outlook.
I attribute it to growing up hearing “trust but verify” and trying to stay wide awake to the dangers we face.
Our government has definitely been treating us like we are in an abusive relationship, h/t to Sundance.
Just because our government seems to be indicating they might not hit us any longer, I don’t feel it prudent to believe them yet.
My thoughts too.
Either truly accidental release (esp. since it has contact information) or purposeful release to either put the potential defendants on notice whether for them individually to know what Durham has or so the targets can coordinate, or to let members of the media know it’s time to start covering for their own sorry behinds?
Hopefully whomever filed without protecting the info still should be fired or at the least removed from the entire Durham team and demoted a peg or two. It’s our country at stake, no more messing around!
Elias the “biggest catchable fish” is clearly now awake to the danger. Given the MSM silence on the whole prosecution so far, now may well be the time Garland throws out his promise of independence and does something, which will be described as heroic by the media, to protect the conspiracy. Let’s hope he conspires with the conspirators in doing so, and some last vestige of patriotic zeal for justice will catch him at it, too.
There should be many hundreds going to jail and dozens executed for a coup, conspiracy and treason. One guy got a $ 100 fine. Automated traffic light tickets are double that.
You forgot to include the FIB as a co conspirator (Michael Horowitz IG report) with the media.
FIB bought dinners, sports tickets, salacious entertainment (probably male knowing many media members) with the media in order to advance the narrative against our Lion.
Perkins Coie partners should be sweating.
Generally, criminal activity voids a law firm’s E&O policies, and well as excess coverage.
Since we know that News is Not News But “Entertainment” Per HR 4310 Signed By Obama On 12/29/12. Then We Should Be Entitled To Rate Adam Schiff’s Monolog’s As One Of The Following – Mystery, Discovery, Drama, Comedy.

Durham Drops Bomb: Lying Adam Schiff Was Involved in Russia Collusion Sham Way Back in July 2016
By Joe Hoft
Published April 26, 2022 at 12:49pm
Adam Schiff was knee-deep in the Trump Russia collusion sham. He was involved way back in July 2016. John Durham just confirmed it.
John Durham released some documents yesterday related to the Trump – Russia collusion sham created by the Hillary Clinton gang. We reported on this earlier.
There is much in this latest release, but one item, in particular, is that Adam Schiff was involved in this lie from the beginning. Redstate reports:
Durham also derides the claim that Fusion was hired for legal work — calling that a “novel” way to cover up opposition research and the derogatory information that they then spread against President Donald Trump and his team. He says that despite efforts, the parties have failed to provide “meaningful, substantive explanations to support these continuing broad assertions of privilege and/or work product protections.”
A number of emails have been released in Durham’s latest. One email showed that pencil-neck Adam Schiff was involved in the Russia collusion lie as early as July 2016.
Hey @AdamSchiff – why does Fusion GPS seem to think you have information on Carter Page in July 2016?
How many communications did you exchange with Fusion GPS personnel during 2016-17? pic.twitter.com/tCDtHXcHUS

Schiff later released a report on Russia collusion that was all lies. He received no penalties for doing so.

OBAMA LEGALIZED THE USE OF PROPAGANDA ON U.S. POPULATION…TRUMP NEEDS TO UNDO IT & MAKE CRISIS ACTORS ILLEGAL
February 24, 2018 7:54 am by IWB
US Government-Funded Domestic Propaganda Has Officially Hit The Airwaves
www[dot]sfgate[dot]com/technology/busi…
On 12-21-12, the Senate passed the NDAA of 2013l. On 12/29/12, President Obama signed HR 4310, (at night, during the holidays, in the dark, so that no one would even know); the 2013 National Defense Authorization Act. Section 1078 (thomas[dot]loc[dot]. gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c112:H.R.4310:) of the bill authorizes the use of propaganda inside the US, which had previously been banned since 1948 when the Smith-Mundt Act was passed. The media was also reclassified as “entertainment”.
Whatever he said “on the floor” of the House is “protected”…….
Yes.
The Slander and Defame Clause.
yep – 2 bad
True, but Shifty’s hubris may be his downfall. He never turned down an opportunity to share his Russian collusion fairytale with MSN viewers, and seemed like a regular on Sunday morning talk shows.
maybe – but I doubt it
Love to see that 🤔
Shh keep it on the down low….if AG Merrick Garland and Deputy AG Lisa Monaco didnt know about Durham really targeting Triple Chin Elias before, then they know it now.
Will Ms. Linsey be writing up leglislation to protect and keep the Durham SC like he did for Herr Mueller?
His Rapper name is 3CHIN
Remember that Schiff was a member of the congressional oversight committee, one of the “gang of eight” beginning in 2017. He was instrumental in perpetuating the disinformation from his position of power. Is it too much to hope that he get’s indicted, impeached, recalled or disbarred? I’d welcome any or all of those options. I know it counters Sundances belief that nobody inside government will face consequence, but he was so obviously involved in the conspiracy. One can only hope Durham proceeds down that trail.
In addition, if the same Georgia Tech researcher (Antonakakis) that was involved in faking information for the Alpha Bank hoax – russian cell phone narrative was involved in discerning the perpetrator of the DNC hack (did he provide the Guccifer narrative?) and provided that info to the Mueller special counsel, how is that not a lead to be followed?
RIP Seth Rich
Just don’t expect any of these criminal conspirators to face jail or any penalty. At least in this world
Conspiracy to defraud the government sounds perfectly likely here.

Marc Elias Is Gonna Get Indicted As Part of a Criminal Conspiracy

The Latest Pathetic Attempt to Resurrect The Trump/Russia Hoax From The Dead – Brian Cates
Of Course, Rachel Maddow Is Right In The Middle of It
Read this one too. You know how brilliant Durham is? He already established the chain of command of the criminal conspiracy in both the Sussmann/Danchenko indictments. The Sussmann indictment showed this: Clinton campaign —-> Elias/Sussmann at Perkins Coie ——> Rodney Joffe/GT when it came to the creation of the Alfa Bank hoax. It’s obvious that it worked in reverse when it came to what Joffe/GT did with the illegally obtained information they were stealing as part of their contracting work. Contracting work where their highest level security clearances gave them access to the electronic communications in the Executive Office of the President of the United States – Donald J. Trump.
https#//briancates.substack.com/p/the-latest-pathetic-attempt-to-resurrect
Oh I touch on it here too, Joffe & his GT coworkers weren’t only giving the illegally obtained EC info from the Executive Office of the President of the United States to Elias/Sussmann at PC, who were then passing it on to the Hillary Clinton campaign. All this stuff was also being passed on to…FUSION GPS.
Now remember: this is me from a column published at X22 Report last October 2021.
It would also be very very hard to believe that Sussmann, Elias and all the Clinton campaign people having this illegally mined data passed up to them from Joffe & Co. did not know where it was coming from or that it was illegally obtained.
And now we know, thanks to this latest Durham filing, that not only were Joffe/GT playing a key role in digitally spying on Carter Page, Michael Cohen, Gen. Michael Flynn, George Papadopoulos and Paul Manafort. Thanks to this latest filing we can now say that Joffe/GT were also spying on…THIS GUY after he became President and took up residence inside the Oval Office.
President Trump: ‘I Caught the Swamp, I Caught Them All’
https://radiopatriot.net/2022/02/12/marc-elias-headed-for-the-hoosegow/
Perhaps Mr Durham is not happy being spray paint. Maybe he wants to be sand paper?
Ice pick?
Durham is only “spray paint” in Sundance’s mind
in the rules governing judicial double jeopardy, “Despite the lawsuit failing to advance, those prior emails now become evidence for John Durham to use in the case against Clinton lawyer Michael Sussmann,” this “failure to advance” is what enabled Durham to use the emails.
If Elias is the de facto head of Lawfare, then we can probably safely assume he’s untouchable. Isn’t the DOJ effectively the arm of Lawfare that brings criminal cases, while the non government arm brings civil?
The more infuriating part is anyone in DJT space there was no chance for a judge to decide privilege. The FBI just conducted early morning raids and took whatever they wanted. Anyone with a d gets to drag it out and at least have a judge look at it. T. The intimidation differences I am sure makes a big difference in mental state. I doubt if Elias, certainly Hillary haveany fear of arrest or jail.
Correct…he’s Elliot Ness…Untouchable and will not fold.
Elias and Sussmann certainly look like where this is designed to stop.
That only works if a cushy plea deal is already on the table. A fine, disbarred and maybe 18 months with good behaviour in a low security farm will cover it.
Their trip aces must be “give us 10 years and the walls come tumbling down”….the reply might be “never forget Epstein, fellas”.
well their “stop design” may have a little problem when Elias/Sussman are facing multiyear sentences in a Federal penitentiary along with other penalties.
On Sleuths Corner live podcast last night, FOOL NELSON, UndeadFOIA, ShipwreckedCrew, etc., believed Joffe is also at risk of 1-2 indictments.
They discussed for a few minutes the advantages of Conspiracy charges vs RICO charges (RICO adds an additional ‘element’ for prosecutors). i.e., Conspiracy charges easier to prosecute.
Previously, other authors have said we also have clear Obstruction of Justice and at least 1-2 other people lying.
I believe there’s another program tonight. Check @UndeadFOIA.
First Satan created the Mafia. That was just for practice. Then Satan created the Democrat Party and declared it to be his finest invention.
Thank you for this assessment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“I’m not going to publish the emails because the contacts, addresses, phone numbers etc. are not redacted; but you can clearly see the scale of who was involved.”
we know what to do.
great reporting Sundance. excellent as always!

Spooks and Turtles all the way down!
I mentioned this in a earlier article written by sudance.
https://lawandcrime.com/russia-investigation/michael-sussmanns-defense-team-accuses-durham-probe-attorneys-of-missing-key-discovery-deadline-asks-judge-to-block-testimony/
if you go through the article there is definitely a legal argument made by the defense that has the potential of causing the judge to void a major part of this trial. It could even possibly be grounds to dismiss the case.
far less has caused this in other cases.
let me know what you think about this. I am not a lawyer. But I am following this case pretty closely looking for flaws, error and missive by the Durham prosecutors. Not because I want the case to fail, but I have a hunch that the ball is going to be spiked. The type of error made by prosecutors is non-trivial.
God Bless America
Durham’s reply was that the defense has no idea what the Special Counsel is looking at.
Sussmann’s objection mischaracterizes Durham’s notice and intention. Durham’s letter explained that he reserved the right to call the expert if Sussmann’s testimony opens the door to the expert witness’ rebuttal testimony. It’s distinct from a situation where Durham plans to introduce the subject matter spontaneously as part of his theory of the case. The judge will no doubt deny Sussmann’s motion, imho.
Its getting closer to Marc Elias committing suicide!
And no right side media are talking about this. Maybe Tucker later? Why is there just that one picture of Durham looking fake fierce? Is he in hiding, in a bunker, LOL. It is pathetic what we put up with, he is just releasing what the deep state has already approved. Sussman is not arrested, indicted or in a hearing. But the Trump family and McCarthy are under deep scrutiny.
arrest the Georiga Tech research that disagreed with the take of the research on PDJT.
and ask him – how are you accessing felony or worse related sensitive data when you contract wasnt even approved yet? it was pending
from this article
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2022/04/23/special-prosecutor-filing-outlines-clearest-most-detailed-construct-of-hillary-clinton-joint-venture-conspiracy-to-fabricate-trump-russia-narrative/
looks alot like Corney’s memorandum of understanding – Doing something not approved and saying it was pending.
Actually, the person you are looking for is identified in the sentence “Finally, Sussmann’s team makes the argument that Durham is denying Joffe immunity in order to hide exculpatory evidence from the jury that Joffe would provide if he were to testify.” from https#//briancates.substack.com/p/part-2-durhams-filings-are-filled?s=r
Durham argues how Joffe & Co. “came to possess and/or convey the purported data and analysis are all relevant to the jury’s understanding of the critical meeting the defendant had with the FBI General Counsel on September 19, 2016.” is directly relevant to the lie that Sussmann told Baker.
The media avoids discussing this, but the fact is, Joffe and his merry crew acquired all this DNS data related to Trump and his associates by STEALING IT off of federal databases and servers they had access to because they were private federal contractors.
And it’s very likely that some of the data they stole from federal agencies servers and databases were classified, and then Joffe handed off the stolen classified material to people with no security clearance.
The Fake News covers this like “Nothing to see here, Joffe and Co. were federal contractors, they had security clearances, they were allowed in there to access this stuff. Nothing to see here. Move along.”
What they’re not telling you is that Joffe & Co. being federal contractors with access to these federal databases and servers does not GIVE THEM A LICENSE TO STEAL DATA AND GIVE IT TO THEIR POLITICAL ALLIES.
“Durham brings up the ‘plan’ between Sussmann, Joffe and the Clinton Campaign. The “joint venture” rears it’s head again.

AUDIO READING: Part 1 – Durham’s Filings Are Filled With RevelationsSussmann Seems To Have Lost Every Ruling Thus Far.
https://briancates.substack.com/p/audio-reading-part-1-durhams-filings?s=r
Sussmann is on the block for Treason! So what do you think “Corney’s memorandum of understanding” will get him?
Elias is such a criminal… he deserves to be thrown into prison with Podesta as a cellie.
Let’s be clear here: All those involved in this “joint venture” that involved stealing federal data knew what they were doing was illegal. Joffe had to know, Reasearcher-2 had to know, and here he is expressing his concerns about to the lawyer overseeing the project.
That right there, the top bullet point, is a display of ‘guilty knowledge’.
Sussmann lied to the CIA and said the DNS data that made up most of the Alfa Bank package he was handing them was gathered by “private collection” rather than being government collected data.
That was a lie. Sussmann knew this data had been taken off of federal servers and databases by federal contractors. And it had been gathered illegally.
Durham of course can prove that Sussmann was far from a mere bystander sitting in his office waiting to be handed a finished product he didn’t know much about so he could go give it to the FBI and then the CIA.
The key phrase: “To the extent such data was obtained in a manner that was illegal or unethical, a jury reasonably could infer that the defendant and his clients shared a potential motive to conceal material facts….”

Shame when those pesky leaks go against the left. 🤣
If Elias is the biggest fish to get fried here, that would still be nice. But I want the Hildabeast fried too.
Tom Hamburger sounds like it should be a fake name.
They’re not doing that trick like “Bob Ama” & co. did are they?
I guess we can all smoke the hopium – can we get the “A Few Good Men” moment: Mr. Elias did you order the code blue! (paid ballot stuffing), Elias: YOUR DAMN RIGHT I ORDERED THE CODE BLUE! WE HAD TO SAVE OUR ‘DEMOCRACY!’
“Within the filing the staff accidentally did not seal the attachments which are emails between Fusion GPS and many major media outlets.”
Could this actually be an intentional leak suggesting to those involved…”hey, we know everything, so you might want to stop before you get in any more trouble”?
Could also be from an asset in the court or someone low down on the pole to both discredit the SC and let the cockroaches in the media know what’s coming?
A Feinstein with benefits, so to say?
At a minimum, Elias and the eventual breakdown of the Lawfare apparatus must be a priority for any and all Conservative power structures. If Durham doesn’t do it, then we have to find a way, and after him Benjamin Wittes…
It’s a case of slowing the crap bag roll..
As long as Elias is heading to the Supermax prison, Durham is okay in my book.
I’d prefer a medium-security level prison for this fat clown because the prisoners are much less behaved. More MS-13 psychopaths, too.
Nothing as accidental
Embrace The Suck, Hillary: Michael Sussmann & Marc Elias Had No Security Clearances
And Because They Very Likely Handled Classified Information Stolen Out of the Executive Office of the President, That’s A HUGE Issue

These people are stupid.
While reading through all of the filings in the Michael Sussmann case, the Hillary Clinton campaign lawyer and political operative who has been indicted by Special Counsel John Durham on exactly one single count of lying to a federal official, I kept wondering what other charges Durham could indict Sussmann for, should he choose to.
And I suddenly realized that a major charge that Sussmann could be hit with has been staring us all in the face ever since Durham revealed that Hillary Clinton’s private spies had taken data from the Executive Office of the President and used it in an updated and revised version of their Alfa Bank hoax that Clinton’s private dirty tricksters had then delivered to the CIA.
Durham made his filing revealing the private contractor network electronically spying on Trump & his associates for Hillary Clinton on February 11, 2022.
That was more than two months ago. And I confess I didn’t fully grasp what Durham was trying to show us all in that filing.
You see, I knew that Joffe and his fellow Georgia Tech researchers working with him on this spying project had security clearances. I mean, they’re federal contractors hired to do cybersecurity work for the government. They by **necessity** have to get high level national security clearances to access the kind of places they do their cybersecurity work.
Like, let’s say for no reason whatsoever, just an example…the Executive Office of the President.
99% of the population out there isn’t allowed any kind of digital access into the EOP because all kinds and all manner of classified and privileged data is flowing through the White House and the various offices inside of it every single day.
But Joffe was allowed in. And those working with him were allowed access also. And they had to undergo and pass pretty stringent background checks that have to be periodically updated in order to get and keep the prerequisite national security clearances they need to do the kind of cybersecurity work they perform for the FBI, the CIA, DHS, the State Department and for the White House.
Now, the big scandal here that most of us instantly latched onto when Durham made that filing back on February 11 was that Joffe & Co. were obviously abusing and exploiting their access to these sensitive and highly classified digital computer and communications networks inside Trump Tower, Trump’s Park West apartment building, and certainly inside the EOP. Nothing in their federal cybersecurity contracts gave Joffe or his coworkers any permission whatsoever to take any digital information they accessed about Trump or his close associates and hand it off to a freaking political campaign. Nothing in their contracts made it OK to take stolen federal data and use it in a series of hoaxes targeting private citizens and then a sitting President of the United States.
And if Joffe and company were doing all this highly illegal activity in exchange for payment from Hillary Clinton and the DNC, this crime enters a whole new level of seriousness.
Let me explain why by introducing the real issue:
The issue of national security clearances.
It’s bad enough when a federal contractor abuses their access to steal information off of federal communications systems and then hands it to a political campaign.
When that information these private contractors are being paid to steal is **classified** and they give it to people with **no national security clearance** that is when this thing reaches a new level of the utmost seriousness. It is espionage. And it doesn’t matter that the person paying for the stolen information is a private American citizen.
Now, I’ve been digging into this.
And while Joffe and his coworkers had to get the prerequisite national security clearances to do the kind of federal contractor work they were doing, I have been unable to find in days of researching this any evidence whatsoever that Perkins Coie lawyers Michael Sussmann or Marc Elias had up-to-date security clearances while they were working on this Alfa Bank hoax for the Hillary Clinton campaign.
That means if there was any classified information in the EOP data that Joffe stole out of the White House and gave to Sussmann and Elias, everybody involved in this should be looking at major prison time.
“Yeah now that you mention it, I probably should have gotten a national security clearance before I looked at that stuff Joffe handed to me.”
Ordinary people found to have exposed classified information or intelligence to those not authorized to see it get sent to prison every year.
What’s gonna happen to Sussmann and Elias, his supervisor at Perkins Coie, if it turns out the batch of EOP data that Joffe stole and gave to them that ended up in the new and improved version of the Alfa Bank Hoax that Sussmann directly and personally handed to “Federal Agency-2” on February 7, 2017, turns out to have had any classified data in it?
That’s some real smarts there, first stealing the information out of the EOP, then inserting it into your hoax package white papers and thumb drives, and then giving it to a federal intelligence agency.
“Why no, I don’t have an active national security clearance. Why do you ask?”
If these two CIA agents Sussmann met with looked this newly revised and updated hoax over, and realized where some of that data came from about the Russian phones, I can only imagine the look they would’ve given Sussmann at that moment, realizing he has no current active security clearance. And this EOP stuff was less than two weeks old. Which means even his having **possession of it** was a federal crime.
I’ve been saying for going on 3 years now there are national security issues all over this SpyGate investigation. Serious breaches of national security happened repeatedly and in the most seriously and damaging fashions.
The Durham Special Counsel Office’s job is to find out who did what, and bring accountability to those who violated the law and violated their oaths. What happened in this massive scandal that dwarfs Watergate cannot ever happen again.
There’s a reason Rodney Joffe has from the moment he was exposed and called to testify and communicate with the investigators insisted on invoking his Fifth Amendment rights against self-incrimination. These goons left paper trails a mile wide behind them.
And Durham is going to expose it all and make them pay.
And you can quote me on that.

Why is it when all these so-called elite lawyers like Sussman & Elias require outside council to handle their potential criminal actions instead of representing themselves? Can Perkins Coie Lawfirm be held accountable?
I LOVE the way all the Treepers are so knowledgeable!
I see a not so far away future were the Majority of ALL Gov. Heads and underlings will be getting their “pink” slip and All carefully hand picked replacements will be given a chance to BE the better option, NO to “Secret midnight” packing, & passing laws, raises, and unapproved budgeting and gifting American hard earned money. Re-doing education K-12 is an emergency! Think tanks, and brainstorming, for how to raise EQ & IQ of the teachers and the schoolboard has to happen yesterday! The children of the United States are starving for some real learning, and no more inappropriate topics until they are age appropriate. Maybe self defense should be part of the curriculum.
Looks, I guess, are deceiving. I’ve never seen a pic of him before. He looks stupid, but stupid he isn’t. Shrewd.
