Clinton Campaign Lawyer Gave ‘Sensitive' Trump Data to CIA, Special Counsel Claims
[Free Beacon] A lawyer for the Clinton campaign in early 2017 gave computer data to the CIA that was obtained from the Trump White House and Trump Tower’s computer servers through a "sensitive" government contract, according to Special Counsel John Durham.
Gave? But, but, but I thought nothing was free ?
Durham alleged in A Court Filing that Michael Sussmann, a cybersecurity lawyer who worked for the Clinton campaign, met with the CIA in February 2017 to provide the agency with a dossier of purported computer links between Trump and Russia. Sussmann obtained the sensitive data from a tech executive whose firm monitored web traffic for the White House executive office. Rodney Joffe, the executive, "exploited" the White House data, as well as that of Trump Tower and Donald Trump’s apartment building in Manhattan, in order to find "derogatory" information about Trump’s ties to Russia, according to Durham. The prosecutor said his investigators have found no evidence to support the information Sussmann passed to the CIA.

Durham leveled the explosive allegation in a court filing Friday as part of the federal case against Sussmann. He is Charged with lying to the FBI in September 2016 about the extent of his efforts to investigate Trump’s ties to Russia. He is also accused of withholding information from the CIA during his February 2017 meeting that undercut the theory of nefarious web links between Trump and Russia. Durham refers to the CIA as "Agency-2" throughout court filings, but news outlets have Confirmed the identify of the agency.

The court filing shows the extent to which Clinton operatives went to portray Trump as an agent of Russia. Sussmann’s fellow Clinton campaign lawyer, Marc Elias, commissioned the Steele dossier, which falsely accused Trump of colluding with Russia in order to win the 2016 election. Elias Briefed Clinton campaign officials, including current national security adviser Jake Sullivan, about the investigation of Trump. Sussmann and Elias also provided their findings to media outlets in order to prompt investigations into Trump.

#1 Unsolicited was it? Sussmann simply gave it to them did he, no strings attached? A simple, philanthropic gesture ?

Of course the Klingons, not wishing to violate the prohibition against intelligence collection targeting of US Citizens, quickly reported the incident to the DoJ and FBI. The FBI now has the data stored safely adjacent the Hunter laptops.

Excuse me while I anxiously await news of the Jeffrey Epstein Little St James US Virgin Island - Clinton Foundation connection. Yes, the connection Julian Assange and Seth Rich were stumbling all around.

Strange isn't it, just when we were starting to remove our COVID masks and feel good about ourselves, so many imprisoned, so many dead? It's nearly too much to process.

I recommend Prince Andrew remain at the Balmoral Royal Game Keepers cottage until all of this unpleasantness blows over.
