Sussmann Lawyers Furious at Durham for Exposing Spying; Complain About Breitbart Coverage
breitbart ^ | 15 Feb 2022 | JOEL B. POLLAK

Posted on 02/15/2022 9:16:55 AM PST by MarvinStinson

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.

Sucks when the rules that you’ve been abusing for so long are used against you.

”Is this not, by itself, a crime?”

I am assuming that EOP stands for “Executive Office of the President”.

I would further assume that the Internet Company has a legal duty to protect the privacy of its clients. Perhaps then we are seeing Durham establishing a conspiracy to commit fraud against the EOP.

This would then motivate Sussman to claim that he had no knowledge that fraud was committed to obtain the information that he delivered to the FBI.

The FBI will find itself claiming to be more incompetent than the Keystone Kops in claiming that they had no idea that a conspiracy against the President was occurring.

It would appear that some agents of the FBI had clear indications that somebody was spying on the President of the United States. Did they open an investigation of this spying? Or did they simply join the conspiracy?

Can't Attorney General Garland dismiss Durham at will? If Durham gets too close to the big players, especially Hillary Clinton, you would think that Garland would be fired. Sussman is not a big player. There is a possibility, however, that the Obama faction wants to eliminate the Clintons once and for all. As Obama acolytes surround President Biden, you have to wonder if the continuation of the Durham investigation isn't part of an anti-Clinton conspiracy. Also, if Hillary Clinton is indicted and perhaps Donald Trump is indicted on either state or Federal charges, the liberal media will argue that the wheels of justice are impartial.

Sounds to me like Durham is over the target.

When's he going to open the bombay door and let the bombs fly?

I believe Durham is required to make court filings. I believe these filings are public information. Durham isn’t leaking to the press etc.

I dont think Durham can be fired anymore than Mueller could have been fired. It would create the ‘Saturday night massacre’ scenario.

Something about taking flak when you are directly over the target.

Has Crabby Old Cabbage Smelling Presidential Candidate-1 had anything to say about this?

Clinton will say “you Obamas did stuff too and I will name names and say where the bodies are buried.” No way she goes down without taking others with her.

This I believe was one grand plot involving the FBI, some in the CIA and the Clinton campaign. I remember Strzok telling page Trump would never be president. Page said Trump wouldn’t be President correct, Strzok said “ no no no we will stop it”.

The actions of the Clintons and Sussmann IMO reach the level of treason and a punishment of execution. Right now all of these criminals are just free and expect a slap on the hand because of the corruption that is so prevalent with the DOJ and FBI. We will never see a just punishment for the crime unless the right rises up and goes French revolution on them.

People are lining up to talk to Special Counsel John Durham. Early birds get breaks. Late birds sing in jail.

Watergate sent people to prison. This will too...

Agreed. I know many here are frustrated with the slow pace of Durham’s investigation but if he is really sincere about pursuing this to its source, he needs to dot every “i” and cross every “t”. Many of his targets will have some of the best legal representation available for their defense. Durham has to make sure there are no holes in any of his findings. The tighter his cases are, the less likely the DOJ will be able to ignore them.

Sussmann’s lawyer’s reactions to Durham filing just proves Sussmann’s and Hillary’s guilt!

Holy Crap!!!
This wasn't a hack! The company hired to provide supposedly secure internet service to POTUS was feeding information to Hillary's campaign! That company should pay BILLIONS in fines and its management should spend years in prison for espionage.

his history before his appointment to this matter three (or was it four)...

Durham was initially appointed to investigate these matters in April 2019. He was appointed Special Counsel in December 2020.

Understood but my question was what cases did he prosecute in his career before this.
