Very interesting speculation. One problem with it is that Sussmann has not pled entrapment as a defense.

Where better to hide a criminal conspiracy than inside a ‘premier’ law enforcement organization? BRILLIANT!

The FBI pretending to take him serious, pretending to believe, is not entrapment. FBI active part was taking the known fiction and parlaying it into an offensive against the candidate and the president, even to the point of naming special counsel - all the while pretending the allegation might have merit. It's not Sussman who did the pretending, he just supported his buddies in the FBI being careful to not leave a track that would burn them. They are still all in it together, but need a fall guy. The government is never the fall guy.

And if yo knows the FBI is committing a crime, who you gonna call? The FBI? The FBI is a taxpayer funded criminal organization.

I cannot see a way the fbi can regain the integrity they had in the sixties and seventies. Too corrupt now.

I doubt it had integrity then. They just hid it better, smaller adventures, etc.

Now it's declared war agianst half of the public. Pretty open about it, and never afraid to lie to get the win.

You may be right about the facts, but the commentator’s speculation — “So I speculate that they invited those lawyers – Sussmann et al – to say they weren’t representing Hillary in connection with the story.” — would be entrapment.

The best and funniest part of it all is, that no one ever goes to jail.

I agree with a hypothetical if the FBI overtly suggested “lie to us,” they can’t turn around and prosecute the lie.

If Sussman has evidence he was told to lie, he hasn’t presented it. Following the usual pattern, both sides claim gullibility and forgetfulness.

The FBI are officers of the court. The same court they allowed and signed off on FISA warrant requests they knew to be fraudulent before the courts. They had a duty to the court and chose to please McCabe and the political masters instead.

Disgusting and likely illegal or an ethics charge.

Remember, Trump requested this be dealt with and his DOJ and Bill Barr angrily refused and took Trumps complaints as false to the press. They were obstructing justice.

The FBI is an obstruction of justice.

If the FBI were interested in Justice, it would use time stamped videos when it interviews anyone. Instead it has two agents take notes and then coordinate (falsify (?) slant (?) ) them after the interview. That may have been a good idea in the 1950’s but certainly not now.

no excuse for not recording interviews these days especially since the fbi has been apparently making “mistakes” anyone who talks to them without their own recorder is asking for trouble

I had a visit from 2 agents back in 1994. Again they were investigating our own government in the matter. It seems that's the main volume of work, investigating and obstructing those who are unfavored politically.

The ones I spoke to seemed professional and polite. That was a long time ago.

Durham’s main job is to protect the DOJ and FBI.
