Why the recent Durham indictment of attorney Michael Sussman is significant
2021-09-20
BLUF:
[AFF] The lawyer, Michael Sussmann, is a partner at Perkins Coie, which has represented the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee and which reportedly hired Fusion GPS, the firm responsible for compiling the Steele dossier.

The Washington Examiner’s editorial board provides more context for why this means more than it appears to mean:

Sussmann, who had worked with the FBI during its investigation into the Russian hack of DNC servers, told the FBI he had information showing a link between Trump and a Russian bank. During the meeting, Sussmann insisted to the FBI that he was turning the information over simply as a concerned citizen and that he was not working on behalf of any client. He further claimed that cybersecurity experts had approached him about a possible link between Trump and a Russian bank, but he never mentioned the true source of the data, Tech Executive-1.

This was a monstrous lie, and now, it has been exposed. Sussmann had been billing Hillary Clinton’s campaign for his collusion with Tech Executive-1 the whole time. That is, he was working for her. If the FBI had known that Sussmann approached it on behalf of the Clinton campaign merely so he could dish dirt on her political rival, it might never have opened an investigation. But since Sussmann lied about his motives and an investigation was opened.

#9  Nothing will happen. Already we have learned that the presiding judge is the brother-in-law of Lisa Page's defense attorney.

#8  It does appear like the internal warfare inside the ruling democrat factions is reaching a total war stage, and there is a hint that the Cackle-Jackal is aligned with the Clinton faction against the Obama/ValJar/Rice puppeteers at the White House, with Jill and Klain trying to just keep the ruse going day to day, with grand scheme after grand scheme to soak up all the special interest money they can from every source, foreign and domestic. This ought to give great comfort to the chance for a widespread flushing of the sewers that are the Washington Establishment/Federal government, but the voter fraud expertise on display in California coupled with the MSM and utterly clueless voting block that is fed by the Tech Propaganda system give me great concern.

#7  Please, nobody else is going to get indicted, this is all just Kubuki theater to stir everyone up and tease you some more.

#4  What a disgusting crew.
This is truly a low point in our history. I can't think of a time--since the 1850s at least-- that we have endured such a string of incompetent, malicious grifters occupying our highest offices.

Looks like America's run of good luck has come to an end. Dark times are here

[Washington Examiner] Kamala Harris campaign lawyer hired Fusion GPS for Hillary Clinton

#1  Curiouser and curiouser:

[Seth] Rich’s laptop is also mentioned in these new files as having been collected on May 19 by the FBI from law firm Perkins Coie. It is unclear why counsel for Hillary Clinton and the DNC would have had it.
Emphasis added.
