Quit being a dummy. Jerry Dunleavy is a well known and competent investigative reporter assigned to the DOJ. This is about Michael Sussmann lying to the FBI about his connection to the Hillary Clinton Campaign when he introduced the phony story about Trump Russian Collusion to the FBI:

Durham grand jury indicts lawyer for allegedly lying to FBI, concealing ties to Clinton campaign
by Jerry Dunleavy, Justice Department Reporter | September 16, 2021 04:50 PM
Updated Sep 16, 2021, 07:22 PM

Special counsel John Durham logged a second indictment in his investigation of the Trump-Russia investigators on Thursday.

A grand jury returned a 26-page indictment charging Michael Sussmann , a lawyer for Perkins Coie who had worked on behalf of Democratic clients numerous times, with intentionally lying to the FBI’s top lawyer in September 2016 about who he was working for when he passed along controversial allegations of secret communications between Russia’s Alfa Bank and the Trump Organization.

“Sussmann lied about the capacity in which he was providing the allegations to the FBI,” the indictment says. “Specifically, Sussmann stated falsely that he was not doing his work on the aforementioned allegations ‘for any client,’ which led the FBI General Counsel to understand that Sussmann was acting as a good citizen merely passing along information, not as a paid advocate or political operative. In fact … this statement was intentionally false and misleading because, in assembling and conveying these allegations, Sussmann acted on behalf of specific clients, namely, a U.S. technology industry executive at a U.S. internet company, and the Hillary Clinton Presidential Campaign.”

Baker testified in 2018 that Sussman, a former DOJ colleague, shared the Alfa Bank claims with him during a September 2016 meeting. Notes from DOJ official Bruce Ohr’s December 2016 meeting with Glenn Simpson show the Fusion GPS co-founder said the New York Times was wrong to doubt the story that Alfa Bank and the Trump Organization were communicating through secret servers.

New Durham indictment exposes second leg of Hillary Clinton's Russia collusion dirty trick
Indictment alleges Democrat lawyer was paid by Clinton campaign to develop documents on alleged Russia collusion computer link to Trump and give it to FBI in final days of election despite concerns it was a 'red herring'

Nearly two years after evidence emerged that the infamous Steele dossier was a political dirty trick filled with Russian disinformation and disproved allegations, Special Counsel John Durham unloaded a new indictment that exposes a parallel effort by Hillary Clinton's campaign to flood the FBI with more dubious Trump-Russia collusion dirt.

In painstaking detail, Durham laid out in the indictment Thursday how Democrat superlawyer Michael Sussmann used Clinton campaign funds to construct a now-debunked memo and other evidence alleging that computer communications between a server at the Alfa Bank in Russia and the Trump Tower in New York might be a secret backdoor communication system for Trump and Vladimir Putin to hijack the 2016 election.

Sussmann delivered the package in mid-September 2016 — just weeks before Election Day as Trump and Clinton were locked in a tight race — to then-FBI General Counsel James Baker, even after the team of computer experts warned the theory was a "red-herring," according to the indictment.

And then Sussmann falsely told Baker, the prosecutors alleged, he was providing the information to the FBI solely as a good citizen, and not on behalf of any client.

In fact, Sussmann was working on behalf of a tech executive and the Clinton campaign and charged nearly all the work on the Alfa Bank narrative to the Democratic presidential campaign, including his meeting with Baker, the indictment stated.

And here is a hint as to why it all had to happen. You see as I have always said, the Democrats "always" project onto others their own criminal behavior:

"The effort was launched after Clinton's campaign funded a poll in 2015 showing her own ties to Russia and Moscow money paid to her husband, ex-President Bill Clinton, were threatening her path to the presidency, according to documents made public last year in "Fallout," a book by this reporter and coauthor Seamus Bruner."

Good article by a very able former federal prosecutor.

The indictment exposes a conspiracy which leads me to believe that Durham is going to indict several others who used the false narrative as a vehicle to attack the Trump Campaign. The politicized leadership of the FBI used it's resources to manipulate the FISC with false sworn affidavits to gain warrants in furtherance of the groundless FBI investigation, that kept the narrative in the news and influencing the public negatively towards the administration, thus diminishing the President's ability to govern. Which I believe became it's purpose after the election and laid the groundwork for the two baseless impeachment attempts. Which I believe fall within the scope of 18 USC 371, Conspiracy Against the United States. You can read in detail the criminal components that define this statute here:

Judge in case of anti-Trump mudslinger is married to attorney for ex-FBI lawyer Lisa Page
Officials say Judge Christopher Cooper's ties to leading Democrats and key figure in discredited Trump-Russia probe should disqualify him from case of Michael Sussmann, lawyer who fed anti-Trump dirt to FBI while hiding connection to Hillary Clinton campaign.

By Lee Smith

Updated: September 19, 2021 - 11:44pm

Last week, the special counsel appointed to oversee the probe into the FBI's investigation of former president Donald Trump indicted Michael Sussmann, a lawyer for the 2016 Hillary Clinton presidential campaign. Republicans and Trump allies are optimistic about the latest development in John Durham's investigation but are still concerned that Attorney General Merrick Garland might halt the investigation to protect allies and even the president himself.

FBI notes appear to suggest that as vice president, Joe Biden played a role in the Democratic Party project to smear Trump as a Russian asset by raising the obscure, disused, 18th century statute the Logan Act as a possible vehicle for prosecuting Michael Flynn for speaking with the Russian ambassador to Washington — even after FBI case agents had cleared Trump's incoming national security adviser of wrongdoing.

And now Republicans are raising concerns that the judge appointed to the Sussmann case has too many conflicts of interest to preside over it fairly.

Current and former officials say that federal District Court Judge Christopher Cooper's professional and personal relationships with top Democrats and figures behind the FBI's Trump investigation should force his recusal. Cooper's wife, for instance, represents disgraced FBI lawyer Lisa Page, who oversaw the FBI's Trump probe.

Read this in full very carefully. Shipwreck is obviously a very good attorney or a very good investigator:


The Sussmann Indictment Reads Like Overts Acts In Furtherance of a Conspiracy - Because That's What It Is.
It does not take 27 pages to allege a "false statement" charge -- but it does if you are alleging a conspiracy to create false documents to influence a federal investigation.

shipwreckedcrew

What to make of the indictment by Special Counsel John Durham of former Clinton Campaign attorney Michael Sussmann, a one-time partner in the go-to-for-all-legal-needs Democrat Party law firm of Perkins Coie?

Typically, a “false statement” indictment will consist of a brief description of how the federal investigators came to ask the question, the answer given by the defendant which is alleged to be false, and what a truthful answer would have been.

If you want an example of what a typical such indictment might look like, it’s right there in Sussmann indictment — read paragraph 46:

Paragraphs 1 through 44 were not necessary to charge Sussmann. That makes what Durham returned a “speaking indictment.” It discloses information in a public document that would not otherwise be known if the indictment set forth only facts needed to meet the requirements of due process.

A “false statement” charge does not require a litany of factual allegations regarding the conduct and statements of the defendant and numerous third parties over the course of weeks or months leading up to the making of the false statement. In over 30 years of practice as both a federal prosecutor and a defense attorney specializing in federal cases, I’ve never before seen anything remotely resembling the Sussmann indictment in a single count “false statement” case.

It's another head fake.

Although John Durham has managed to get an indictment for Michael Sussmann as part of the investigation into the origin of the Federal Bureau of Investigation's (FBI) inquiry into the Trump campaign's ties with Russia, legal experts are still not impressed.

In fact, according to Business Insider, legal experts view the case Durham has built against Sussmann as "unusually — even remarkably — thin." Speaking to the publication, Randall Eliason, a former federal prosecutor and current law professor at George Washington University Law School, weighed in with his take on the case.

"Proving this case is going to be remarkably difficult," Eliason said of Durham's case. While Trump has adamantly insisted that the investigation would uncover a "deep state" conspiracy, that has yet to come to fruition.

Insider highlights two problems with Durham's case. The investigating prosecutor is said to only have one witness, The indictment is reportedly linked to a September 2016 conversation Sussmann had with former FBI general counsel, James Baker. At that time, Sussmann is said to have "shared digital information suggesting a possible back channel of communication between the Trump Organization and the Kremlin-linked Alfa Bank."

However, the FBI's investigation determined there was "'insufficient evidence' to support allegations of a secret communications channel with the Russian bank."

In addition to only having one witness, that witness' recall is vague. In 2018, during a hearing with the House Judiciary Committee, Baker claimed he could not remember some aspects of his meeting with Sussmann. He also claimed he did not pressure Sussmann for more information about the evidence he provided or its origin.

Baker: in that first interaction, I don’t remember him specifically saying that he was acting on behalf of a particular client.

Jordan: Did you know at the time that he was representing the DNC in the Clinton campaign?

Baker: I can’t remember. I have learned that at some point. I don’t—as I think I said last time, I don’t specifically remember when I learned that. So I don’t know that I had that in my head when he showed up in my office. I just can’t remember.

Jordan: Did you learn that shortly thereafter if you didn’t know it at the time?

Baker: I wish I could give you a better answer. I just don’t remember.

Now in court documents the Name of George Soros pops up the Russian collusion conspiracy against Donald Trump:


NEWS & POLITICS
It Gets Worse: Look Who Worked Together to Frame Donald Trump With Fake Russia Hoax
BY VICTORIA TAFT SEP 24, 2021 5:40 PM ET

How much more frightening will this conspiracy get? Now, according to court documents reported by JusttheNews.com, we learn that The Dark Lord himself, George Soros, paid for his own investigator to work for the U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee to plant the fake Trump-Russia story–and that then-Senator John McCain let him do it.

Fight the urge to roll up in a ball and watch fairy tales on Netflix. Get your fingers out of your ears. Stop with your “John McCain hated Trump” pap. We all know that. We know McCain shopped the fake pee tape dossier too.

Pay attention.

We know that the upper reaches of the U.S. government, including President Obama, Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton and their FBI, were a part of the effort to Get Trump. Bruce Ohr at the Department of Justice was in on it. The intelligence community played along with “CIA director John Brennan report[ing] to President Obama that Clinton herself approved the scheme in order to deflect attention away from her use of a private email server.” Biden’s national security adviser knew and lied about it. Democrat party-connected cyber sleuths using government contracts to gain access to secret data tried to frame and plant fake news about Donald Trump being a Russian secret agent. All of these apparatchiks put their expertise and privileged government positions into the service of Hillary Clinton for President in 2016.

They leveraged their positions to destroy Trump and change an election–and in so doing sold out America.

Don't listen to PJ Media.

PJ Media (formerly Pajamas Media, a.k.a. PJM, PJMedia, Open Source Media, or PJTV) was an unmitigated financial disaster Internet network founded in 2005 by Roger L. Simon and Charles Johnson. Pajamas Media was described variously as an advertising network, an alt-right conservative blogging network, an Internet aggregator, a multimedia hate site and a sinkhole into which investment dollars vanish. In 2009, Simon officially dissolved Pajamas Media, replacing it with another unmitigated financial disaster PJTV, a subscriber-supported video hosting site. It is presently a site of truly gibbering wingnut blogs. Many of the posters who comment on their blog are the so called troll army with the neo-nazi Daily Stormer site, while others are whackjob far-right wingnut conservative evangelicals who seem obsessively paranoid about the LGBT community stealing their bodily fluids.

And the Epoch Times ain't no step up.

Falun Gong publishes the widely-distributed and multilingual newspaper Epoch Times.[42][43] Besides its usual anti-PRC diatribes that ask readers to "resign" from the Chinese Communist Party regardless of actual membership, the paper often publishes woo and conspiracies such as chemtrails,[44] UFOs,[45] and an entire section titled "Beyond Science."[46] The Beyond Science section includes such things as "12 Million-Year-Old Vehicle Tracks",[47] ancient Sumerian spaceships,[48] and hype over meditation[49] and near-death experiences.[50]

Former employees noted the secrecy of the publication's ownership and funding, and tendency to promote red-baiting as well as anti-abortion and homophobic views.[17] Other former writers noted its almost slave labor-like work environment, where they need to meet a quota of writing five articles per day and reaching 100,000 views, and are paid in "virtue," a "white substance in another dimension that you gain when you do good things."[33] Falun Gong-associated editors then remove mentions of issues which conflict with "traditional values" as well as those unfavorable to Trump.[17] This is not surprising since it was promoted by Chris Kitze of fake new website Before It's News.[51]

Overwhelming evidence of guilt but a conflicted Democrat jury protected it's own. Two or three Jurors were Clinton donors, the wife of the judge representing Lisa Page, another Juror's daughter on the same sports team as Sussman's daughter. What are the odds of this kind of a nexus in a city wide Jury trial. We saw this coming but hoped for justice to prevail. Meanwhile another Hillary Clinton conspirator goes free.
