Special Counsel John Durham releases damning text message 'proving' Clinton lawyer Michael Sussman lied to FBI when he said he wasn't working for DNC: 'I’m coming on my own - not on behalf of a client or company'

-Sussman was charged with lying to the FBI about his links to Clinton and DNC.
-He allegedly claimed to be acting on his own when presenting purported links between Donald Trump and a Russian bank to the FBI's counsel .
-A Monday court filing shows Durham's prosecutors revealing a text message in which they claim Sussman 'conveyed the same lie in writing'.
It also claims Sussman 'exploited' his access to sensitive data to get Trump dirt


A newly-revealed text message allegedly 'proves' that lawyer Michael Sussman lied to the FBI to hide his links to the Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign when he presented the bureau with purported links between Donald Trump and a Russian bank.

n a Monday court filing, Special Counsel John Durham released a 2016 exchange between Sussman and FBI counsel James Baker in which the former asks the agent for a meeting the night before their face-to-face.

'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,' the filing states.

Sussman goes out of his way to claim he was operating 'on my own.' He's currently being accused of lying about arranging to meet with Baker on behalf of Clinton's presidential campaign and tech executive Rodney Joffe.

'Jim – it’s Michael Sussmann. I have something time-sensitive (and sensitive) I need to discuss. Do you have availibilty for a short meeting tomorrow?' the text provided by Durham reads.

'I’m coming on my own – not on behalf of a client or company – want to help the Bureau. Thanks.'

The bigger problem is - Sussman is just a patsy, fall-guy and cheap legal cover for the FBI

The FBI basically knew it was all BS, but pursued this fake “collusion” narrative for 2 years. They wanted to do it, and they put dozens of people on spying on and investigating Trump. And we are expected to believe all this was brought-on by some guy walking into their office with a story about Russian Alpha bank?

Its a whitewash for the FBI.

More like a can of worms. Did the FBI know they were being lied to and still pursue Trump out of partisan motives? That would seem to be where this is going....

Nothing will happen. Durham's job is to stall, obfuscate and then do a "limited hangout" when the applicable statutes of limitation are about to run out. It's how the Deep State™ works their magic.

Yesterday, Sussmann asked the judge to exclude the bogus Russia Dossier from the trial.

Sussmann made the possibly valid claim that the bogus Dossier has no relevance to the specific charge against him, and that the Dossier would prejudice the jury.

.
The Poor FBi was misled by a DC Party Lobbyist and Lawyer.

Just Horrible.

Do you know Peter Strzok wrote a book, made big bucks, and tweets with Dem Leaders today saying Trump is a Russian agent and he’s still investigating Trump today?
