The battle over documents and e-mails in the Michael Sussmann case just got hotter.

Back in August 2017, Fusion GPS co-founder Glenn Simpson testified to the Senate Judiciary Committee, explaining how his firm was retained to gather “lots of facts about Donald Trump.” He admitted that Fusion GPS met with reporters leading up to the 2016 election to spread opposition research against then-candidate Trump.

The context of Perkins Coie’s retention of Fusion GPS was further explained in a book co-authored by Simpson and Fusion GPS co-founder Peter Fritsch. They documented an April 20, 2016 meeting with Mark Elias (Perkins Coie partner and counsel for the DNC/Clinton Campaign), where Elias requested their services for opposition research:

There is a crime-fraud exception to attorney client privilege. Privilege only extends to legal advice, not opposition research.

Isn’t it very interesting that we are reading about this in a sub stack publication and not the main stream press! I know, I know but just let that sink in for a moment. The sharks of the MSM who would kill their mother, then report on it will not touch this story. The MSM lack of coverage has ruined any credibility left (I know). Years in the future we can hold this failure to report up as proof of their professional dereliction when they complain no one reads or listen to them.
