Does anyone know what the amount billed was?
How can the defense he billed his law firm for just taxis when it’s clear it was for more time than that?
This should be the nail to convict this guy.
Durham went in with just one count. One count.
I’m holding my breath, because it’s a DC jury, but I have to believe even they will be fair and honest.
If Sussman is convicted where does this go from here? Is this a felony? What is the likely sentence. Compared to Flynn? I would think he should lose his license, be fined and maybe some jail time?
In short, they made am example with General Flynn. Throwing the book at him.
Shouldn’t they do more with this guy so this is never done again?
Trump is the only man who could have withstood the barrage he got during the early months of his presidency.
Lastly, again we should ask, how did Mueller miss this? Why didn’t he dismiss his investigation right from the beginning?
For one thing, I think it really builds on Trump’s case.
Mueller was all about covering up FBI malfeasance and getting Trump impeached for obstruction of justice. I am not sure if Rosenstein was in on it at the start, but he certainly caved to the pressure to appoint Mueller. We know from Stzrok's texts that there was no there around the time of the appointment.
Sussmann seems to be in a position that to deny the charge is to admit to mis-billing a client? Do I have that about right?
And the suggestion that any law firm would ‘eat’ a billable hour is ridiculous. I expect there are bank statements coming.
Getting Sussmann testifying on this is just a step towards another goal. It is not Durhams goal, just a means of getting there without revealing too much to the different player’s defense teams. He needs to keep conspiracy members divided against each other.
