Blaze News and FOX News have reported that Special Prosecutor John Durham filed a brief further incriminating the Hillary Clinton Campaign, stating that:
1. “The Democratic National Committee and the Clinton campaign reportedly funded the anti-Trump dossier through Perkins Coie,” a Washington law firm.
2. Durham’s report states “The fact that FBI headquarters received on the same date both sets of information involving the same political campaign (Clinton campaign), the same law firm [Perkins Coie] and the same investigative firm [Fusion GPS] makes Steele’s involvement in these matters relevant.”
Hillary Clinton Campaign attorney, Michael Sussmann, allegedly lied to FBI by telling “general counsel that he was not providing the allegations to the FBI on behalf of any client,” per the indictment; when, in fact, he was doing so for Clinton’s campaign.
Durham also alleged that Sussmann “… represented and worked for the Clinton campaign in connection with its broader opposition research efforts … took steps to integrate … [Russian bank allegations] … into those opposition research efforts” of Fusion GPS.
Blaze News cites a Fox News report observing that such evidence is ‘highly probative’ by establishing that Sussmann represented and worked for the Clinton campaign’s broader opposition research efforts.
Sussman pled not guilty, moving for dismissal; but, the Court denied the motion. Thus, Sussmann’s trial will begin on May 16, 2022.
Durham’s brief states: “While the FBI did not reach an ultimate conclusion regarding the data’s accuracy or whether it might have been in whole or in part genuine, spoofed, altered, or fabricated, [the CIA] concluded in early 2017 that the Russian Bank 1 data and Russian Phone Provider 1 data was not ‘technically plausible,’ did not ‘withstand technical scrutiny,’ ‘contained gaps,’ ‘conflicted with [itself]’ and was ‘user-created and not machine / tool generated. … but, Special Counsel’s Office has not reached a definitive conclusion in this regard.”
