The lawyer, Michael Sussmann, is accused of lying to the F.B.I. in a 2016 meeting about Trump and Russia. He denies wrongdoing.
John H. Durham, the special counsel appointed by the Trump administration to scrutinize the Russia investigation, has told the Justice Department that he will ask a grand jury to indict a prominent cybersecurity lawyer on a charge of making a false statement to the F.B.I., people familiar with the matter said.
Any indictment of the lawyer — Michael Sussmann, a former federal prosecutor and now a partner at the Perkins Coie law firm, and who represented the Democratic National Committee on issues related to Russia’s 2016 hacking of its servers — is likely to attract significant political attention.
Donald J. Trump and his supporters have long accused Democrats and Perkins Coie — whose political law group, a division separate from Mr. Sussmann’s, represented the party and the Hillary Clinton campaign — of seeking to stoke unfair suspicions about Mr. Trump’s purported ties to Russia.
The case against Mr. Sussmann centers on the question of who his client was when he conveyed certain suspicions about Mr. Trump and Russia to the F.B.I. in September 2016. Among other things, investigators have examined whether Mr. Sussmann was secretly working for the Clinton campaign — which he denies.

Clinesmith Part II Now with New Lemon Scent.
Tell me someone’s an ass, without telling me he’s and ass.
Photo of Durham emerges...
I hope Durham nails Marc Elias also.
Process crime.
How about the real crime?
Boom! ...pffffffffttttttt...fizz.
.
Clinesmith falsified Documents and McCabe knew he did.
Clinesmith got nothing. He was going to get a fine, but his Lawyer told the Judge he was having a baby, and he didn’t even get a fine.
The Judge called him a good man, and he wasn’t even disbarred.
.
Blah blah blah blah!
How much money has Durham been paid to chase after small fish? He has quite a gig going, doesn’t he?
Perkins Coie is ground zero for the Russia hoax. A no knock raid on them in 2017 would have totally exposed the coup.
Yawn
Distraction of the day from the coup.
it is now mid-September 2021.
16 Sept: Yahoo: Washington Examiner: Durham seeks indictment against lawyer at Steele dossier-linked law firm over Alfa Bank matter: Report
by Jerry Dunleavy
In his December 2019 report, Horowitz said the FBI “concluded ***by early February 2017 that there were no such links” between Alfa Bank and the Trump Organization. A Senate Intelligence Committee report did not find “covert communications between Alfa Bank and Trump Organization personnel.”...
Sussman is reportedly the source for news stories in ***2016 about alleged secretive server claims...
During that deposition, Sussmann indicated his client was not the Clinton campaign or the co-founders of Fusion GPS.
Durham also obtained “internal billing records” from Perkins Coie that show when Sussmann “logged certain hours as working on the Alfa Bank matter” — though not the Baker meeting — ***“he billed the time” to Clinton’s 2016 campaign, the news report said...
Clinton tweeted on Halloween ***2016 that “computer scientists have apparently uncovered a covert server linking the Trump Organization to a Russian-based bank.” She shared a statement from her campaign foreign policy adviser, Jake Sullivan, who is now Biden’s national security adviser, who said that “the secret hotline may be the key to unlocking the mystery of Trump’s ties to Russia.”...

how come this whole rotten saga didn’t shift from an investigation of Trump to an investigation of CLINTON/DNC/PERKINS COIE/GPS FUSION/INTEL/ETC ETC ETC long before the mid-term elections in 2018???
Someone should have picked-up Christopher Steele in a windowless van and waterboarded him until he gave up his mother.
After spending millions of dollars this is Durhams achievement. A complete fraud who is milking the system. Here we have a senile old fool who is the president and his party running the government.They are destroying the country and getting away with all what they did to Trump.
That is all they got?
I grew up around the block from Sussman. My other neighbor…Cory Booker. Both played basketball (although Sussman is a few years older). Northern Valley Regional High School, Old Tappan, NJ. Coincidence?
“seeks indictment”
So, nothing has happened yet. 3 months from now the grand jury doesn’t indict anyone, everyone collects their paychecks and goes home.
