The Hillary Clinton campaign attorney who has been indicted by Special Counsel John Durham for lying to federal investigators filed to have charges dismissed Thursday.
"Attorneys for Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann filed a motion Thursday to dismiss the case against him in Special Counsel John Durham’s investigation, claiming a case of 'extraordinary prosecutorial overreach,'" Fox News reports.
An indictment details the charges against Sussmann, who failed to disclose his work for the Clinton campaign after telling the FBI President Donald Trump was colluding with the Russian government to win the 2016 presidential election. He pleaded not guilty and his attorneys argue his statements to the FBI were not false, but rather a simple tip to the law enforcement agency.
"The defendant is charged in a one-count indictment with making a materially false statement to the FBI, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 1001 (the 'Indictment'). As set forth in the Indictment, on Sept. 19, 2016 – less than two months before the 2016 U.S. Presidential election – the defendant, a lawyer at a large international law firm ('Law Firm-1') that was then serving as counsel to the Clinton Campaign, met with the FBI General Counsel at FBI Headquarters in Washington, D.C.," Durham's recent case filing states.
"The defendant provided the FBI General Counsel with purported data and 'white papers' that allegedly demonstrated a covert communications channel between the Trump Organization and a Russia-based bank ('Russian Bank-1')," the filing continues. "The Indictment alleges that the defendant lied in that meeting, falsely stating to the General Counsel that he was not providing the allegations to the FBI on behalf of any client. In fact, the defendant had assembled and conveyed the allegations to the FBI on behalf of at least two specific clients, including (i) a technology executive ('Tech Executive-1') at a U.S.-based Internet company ('Internet Company- 1'), and (ii) the Clinton Campaign."

P
Squirming begins...
Lawyers gonna lawyer.
So thats the narrative. Durham has gone wildly rogue and any charges should be dropped.
He deliberately lied to throw FBI investigators off the path that would have led to Hillary
that’s criminal right there, that attempt to deceive the police
he should be disbarred too, since lawyers’ ethics are based on telling the truth
hopefully there’s more to come
You nested with a maggot. Now face the consequence.
Any lib judge would gladly throw the charges out.
Attorney client privilege doesn’t hold up if the Attorney is aiding in the commission of a crime. Fraud being the one specifically cited.
Crime or Fraud Exception.
If a client seeks advice from an attorney to assist with the furtherance of a crime or fraud or the post-commission concealment of the crime or fraud, then the communication is not privileged. If, however, the client has completed a crime or fraud and then seeks the advice of legal counsel, such communications are privileged unless the client considers covering up the crime or fraud.
This is a standard practice. Nothing new....
Look for the media to start piling on with story after story along the line of “Durham out of control”.
The little people will lap it up.
Then, Joey B will say it’s time to end the ridiculous witch hunt, and Durham will be history.
Romney, Cheney, Murkowski, Graham and McConnel will congratulate the President for doing the right thing.

He has a note from his mother.
Sing baby sing...
Loud and about the right people.
Of course he does.
He does not want to end up in Fort Marcy Park…dead.
I am Michael Sussman and I did not kill myself.
Ok, time for Durham’s superseding indictement.
The press has been piling on with nothing here claims.
Next part of Sushy’s indictment could be soonest. His original trial date was November. He asked for it to be moved up to June, or so, but got denied. Now the trial is scheduled for March. He must have coughed up a lung to get the trial moved that far. Some place soon he’s going to cop a plea-—no way is he going to trial. Pretty much like Randy Andy, the royal dunce.
