Sussmann Lawyers Furious at Durham for Exposing Spying; Complain About Breitbart Coverage

Lawyers for former Hillary Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann are furious at Special Counsel John Durham for describing an effort to spy on President Donald Trump while in office — and cited Breitbart News coverage in their response.

On Friday Durham filed a motion about the defense lawyers’ potential conflict of interest, including efforts to mine data about cell phone communications around Trump Tower, Trump’s private residence, and the Executive Office of the President in an effort to create a narrative about Russian “collusion”:

The Government’s evidence at trial will also establish that among the Internet data Tech Executive-1 and his associates exploited was domain name system (“DNS”) Internet traffic pertaining to (i) a particular healthcare provider, (ii) Trump Tower, (iii) Donald Trump’s Central Park West apartment building, and (iv) the Executive Office of the President of the United States (“EOP”). (Tech Executive-1’s employer, Internet Company-1, had come to access and maintain dedicated servers for the EOP as part of a sensitive arrangement whereby it provided DNS resolution services to the EOP. Tech Executive-1 and his associates exploited this arrangement by mining the EOP’s DNS traffic and other data for the purpose of gathering derogatory information about Donald Trump.)

On Monday, Durham’s lawyers responded, not only dismissing concerns about a conflict of interest but denying the allegations and complaining that they were prejudicial to their client’s case. They cited media coverage in conservative news sources — since the establishment media ignored the story — and included Breitbart News’ own coverage as an example.

Sussmann’s lawyers decry Durham’s “conspiracy” theory but also state that Sussmann had no reason to believe that the data he provided to the FBI to substantiate claims of Russian collusion had been manipulated or were “untrue or misleading.”

The lawyers claim that Durham’s filing will taint the jury pool and asked the court to strike, or delete, the “factual background” portion.

Sussmann is charged with lying to the FBI when he allegedly concealed that he was representing the Clinton campaign. He has pleaded not guilty.

I tend to think that Durham is a ducks-in-a-row kind of guy - he wouldn’t say or write anything that wasn’t 100% accurate.

Well then, let's find out the real story during discovery. He must have gotten the story from someone else, who was that person and what was Sussmann told about the story by that person?

I think (hope would be closer to the truth) that this is why Durham is going so incredibly slowly. He has to make sure that absolutely every detail is exactly nailed down, because he knows that if he is wrong even in the placement of a single comma, the other side will use that tiny error to dismiss his entire investigation, and the MSM and the courts will agree and throw the whole thing out.

I have information (from somewhere?) that the Durham grand jury has 'interviewed' twenty five people.

Has anyone else heard that and know any thing about it?

Any rumors about what they're finding? Sentiment?
