An FBI agent said Tuesday that it took him and another agent “less than a day” to determine the allegation about former President Donald Trump having ties to a Russian financial institution was false and pushed by Hillary Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussman.
FBI Supervisory Special Agent Scott Hellman said “it took him and another agent less than a day to ascertain the data and ‘white papers’ on two thumb drives Sussmann gave Baker did not support the Trump-Alfa Bank ‘secret connection’ allegation,” according to The Epoch Times’ national affairs reporter John Haughey. Hellman was on the stand during the first day of Sussman’s trial for allegedly lying to the FBI.

Hellman concluded that the data showed there was no “secret connection” between Trump and Alfa Bank and “whoever had written that paper had just come to conclusions not supported by the technical data,” according to Haughey.
The FBI general counsel also said “the methodology they chose was questionable” and “it just didn’t make sense to us. Why would a presidential candidate put their own name on a supposedly secret domain name?” Haughey said.

Maybe the prosecution has evidence of further investigation by the FBI, and how that was related to Sussman's lie.
In any event, given the judge and the make-up of the jury, I will be shocked if there's a conviction -- regardless of what the evidence may show.
I will be jubilant if there's a conviction.
It’s too bad somebody didn’t say something when they saw something. The Racist Honky DemonRATS now have the Mother of All Race Cards being played against Caucasion Americans.
And Mueller knew as well. Get the loot back from Cankles lawyers.
He then said he gave the info to the Chicago investigation
Now this FBI agent is testifying under oath something that he knew right from the start of the Trump Russia collusion lies. What a lousy American. He kept quiet for all these years of false accusations about Trump.
Part of Sham Vannity’s 95 Percenters...
All those who lied about Trump regarding Russia, should be lined up and asked why they should not formally apologize.
Now this FBI agent is testifying under oath something that he knew right from the start of the Trump Russia collusion lies. What a lousy American. He kept quiet for all these years of false accusations about Trump.
—
His area of work focused on hacking, and since there wasn’t a hack he then gave the info to the Chicago investigation
whatever that was
What did it all matter anyway. Oh wait, all the Russia Russia Russia crap has ended up in war and possible WWIII, and a Mother of all Great Depressions on the horizon.
Those in the MSM complicit in pushing this lie would do it all over again, in a heartbeat - “for the greater good”.
THIS is what bothers me!!!
The FBI Agents WHO KNEW THE MATERIAL WAS FALSE, YET BEING GOOD AMERICAN PATRIOTS, THEY JUST SHUT UP ABOUT IT AND WENT TO LUNCH, ALL THE WHILE TORTURING PRESIDENT TRUMP, AND SO MANY OF HIS FRIENDS AND...AND.
US, THE AMERICANS WHO WERE SUFFERING, NOT KNOWING WHEN THE PRESIDENT WAS GOING TO BE ARRESTED.
SHAME, and to set the record straight...THE LIE THAT “MOST” OF THEM ARE DECENT...”
That is all just BS.
> If I were defense counsel, I would argue that this tends to show that the lie, “if any,” was not material.
The big defense slam on the guy was the fact that he called Sussman or whomever a retard for even presenting that “evidence” to him.
A) “FBI Supervisory Special Agent Scott Hellman said “it took him and another agent less than a day to ascertain the data and ‘white papers’ on two thumb drives Sussmann gave Baker did not support the Trump-Alfa Bank ‘secret connection’ allegation,”
To whom did Hellman report his conclusions? Walk this through the FBI chain so we can see who all knew that the anti-Trump tricks were bogus.
B) Defense counsel can argue anything they want, but the testimony as presented in the article shows that Sussman well knew the material he was bringing the FBI was bogus. He knew who constructed it. So when he told James Baker he was bringing the FBI valuable info as a good deed, he was lying — he knew it was worthless. He’s guilty.
Good points.
No… I would ask them what form of execution they would prefer.
If I remember correctly Peter Stzrok was told by another field office that there was no proof of Trump colluding with anyone, and told him the investigation was being shut down. Stzrok asked them to hold off on making that official, and he ran to one or more of his supervisors in order to keep the investigation from being closed.
Trey Gowdy has told us the GOP knew in June of 2017 that it was a hoax and yet they continued to assist the Democrats to keep it going for long after that.
