The indictment, as The New York Times reported yesterday, was sought by John Durham, whom the Trump administration named special counsel to investigate the Russia probe. The indictment was returned just before the five-year statute of limitations expired.

Mueller/Weissmann would have indicted this guy immediately and not five years later.

“Democratic Lawyer Michael Sussmann Indicted, Accused Of Lying To FBI In Russia Probe”

FAKE NEWS

Should be “Lawyer Michael Sussman...” (no ‘Democrat’), since lawyers are neither Democrats, nor Republicans, but instead are Juris Doctors (or something like that).

Hopefully someone loses their job over this.

(just kidding...but someone may well lose their job)

The HuffPo article includes the indictment, which is readable and interesting.
