On Monday night, special counsel John Durham released what could be the smoking gun in the case against Hillary Clinton lawyer Michael Sussmann in his investigation of Russiagate. According to newly published documents, Sussman, who was indicted last September for concealing his clients, messaged the FBI general counsel on Sept. 18, 2016, and said unambiguously that he was not working for any client while he was, in fact, working for Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign.
Sussmann’s lawyers claimed last year that the charges against their client were false and that they were made based on an unsubstantiated verbal statement.
“The Special Counsel has brought a false statement charge on the basis of a purported oral statement made over five years ago for which there is only a single witness, Mr. Baker; for which there is no recording; and for which there are no contemporaneous notes by anyone who was actually in the meeting,” Sussmann’s lawyers alleged at the time.

Doubt we see this in any mainstream news reports.
Durham is still at the public trough, providing a meaningless distraction from time to time?
Way to go Durham, I bet your momma is proud.
the existence … of attorney-client relationships that would have shed critical light on the origins of the allegations at issue.” “The defendant’s false statement to the FBI General Counsel ...misled the General Counsel .....abou the fact that the defendant was disseminating highly explosive allegations about a then-Presidential candidate on behalf of two specific clients, one of which was the opposing Presidential campaign,” Durham explained.
It’s been 5 years since Trump tweeted this. What is taking so long?

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...
Wake me up when BiZiden is gone.
Oh no, Sussman might get charged $12,000 in damages !!!
Yep have heard Durham is going to do this and that for years. Nothing is going to happen here to the big fish and probably nothing to the little minions. The dual track justice system is firmly entrenched in the US Kangaroo Court system at this point.
Not only was it an oral reassurance to Baker, but a written message to Baker
from the Clinton hack lawyer as well. He lied at least twice to the FBI.
Will anybody care? We will have to wait and see.
There are more than 2 tracks...
Give it a break - he’s the only person in the corrupt DOJ circle that’s doing crap for the country.
Save some of that disgust for the thousand of DC white liberal ‘elite’ bureaucrats working against the American people every day.
Will it ultimately matter? Magic 8 Ball says: "Reply hazy, try again."
I hope this is a joke.
Getting into the Ivies just means your family has money and/or clout.
Have you listened to these ninnies?
Anita Hill was selected as a girl and groomed and turned out to be not up to her task.
“Indeed, on September 18, 2016 at 7:24 p.m., i.e., the night before the defendant met with the General Counsel, the defendant conveyed the same lie in writing and sent the following text message to the General Counsel’s personal cellphone,” Durham wrote in the filing.
The text message, according to Durham, stated: “Jim—it’s Michael Sussmann. I have something time-sensitive (and sensitive) I need to discuss. Do you have availability for a short meeting tomorrow? I’m coming on my own—not on behalf of a client or company—want to help the Bureau. Thanks.”
Baker replied: “Ok. I will find a time. What might work for you?”
Sussmann responded: “Any time but lunchtime—you name it.”
