Latest Durham Filing on Sussmann Shows the Net Is Tightening, People Are Flipping
[Red State] When last we left you in the saga of the Durham probe, the defense’s motion to dismiss the case against former Clinton lawyer Michael Sussmann had been denied. That means that barring a plea or further postponement, Sussmann will go to trial May 16 (as currently scheduled), on the charge of the false statement to the FBI. As I noted, that must be making the folks in Clinton-land sweat with what could be coming next.

Now, more information has come out in the latest filings in the case and if it wasn’t obvious already, these filings make it clear that this is going beyond Michael Sussmann. This is from the government’s response to multiple motions from the defense.

First, we know that the smear that was perpetrated against the Trump Organization about the supposed contact with the Alfa Bank — to make it look like Donald Trump was somehow communicating with the Russians — was not true. But the information in the most recent filings indicates that the CIA thought it may have been fabricated. The CIA concluded it was not "technically plausible" and was "user created and not machine/tool generated":
A good 'cover for action' will employ verbal distancing as an initial firewall. This will provide the time necessary to collect incriminating documents for destruction, and the development of effective media distractions.

...but likely to bring about the desired removal of Donald Trump as planned.

#2 At some point the Seth Rich murder seems destined to be re-examined. The FBI acceptance of Crowdstrike's technical assistance has always remained a stunning act of political cowardice and previewed the Bureau's decline into partisan enforcement and public disdain.

#3  ...but likely to bring about the desired removal of Donald Trump as planned.

Except that it didn’t, though he was hobbled somewhat by it. And then they still had to cheat six ways against Sunday to keep him from being reelected by a landslide. Really, tradecraft skills are not at all what they used to be at the echelons where this plot was executed. One hopes the junior agents at both agencies are watching carefully and taking note. (I won’t say learning from their horrible example, because that would be judgmental and unkind.)

#4 I'd like them to learn themselves into oblivion.
