Must be hiding something.
From the AP?!? WTF?! I guess the narrative is finally shifting a bit.
Makes to me. Hellery is a slippery snake.
Sounds like a story from the Bab Bee.
The dossier is junk you say. Good to know.
Funny, during the "get Trump" era the AP took the dossier as absolute gospel. (See Tagline.)
Thats “Makes sense to me. Hellery is a slippery snake.”
Well, I think the motion will probably succeed. After all, Durham filed the case about lying to the FBI on the matter of the fake Alfa Bank allegations, not lying to the FBI on the matter of the fake Steel dossier.
So it is going to be hard to show how the Steele dossier is relevant, since it post-dated that incident. I suppose if Sussman was later involved with the dossier they would argue it shows a pattern of behavior but I don’t think a judge will allow it.
As John Solomon said, Durham introduced The “C” Word — conspiracy. The dossier is at the heart of the conspiracy and has many fingerprints on it.
It is the central axis of the case.
However, Conservatives and pro-Trumpers can be very pleased that a criminal defendant has been forced to publicly state that the dossier is "uncorroborated allegations compiled by an-ex British spy."
“Mr. Judge, can you throw out all the evidence against me?”
“Any modicum of relevance would be so substantially outweighed by risk of confusion, delay, waste, and unfair prejudice as to require this evidence be precluded,” Sussmann’s attorneys wrote...

Sounds like Kramer’s attorney on Seinfeld.
Hillary/DNC paid Sussman and Marc Elias very well. Millions for fabricated BS.
Hopefully, Sussmann’s lawyers will bleed him dry before he goes to prison.
Seems to me this goes to the issue of motive. Very relevant.
And materiality of the false statement.
This is normal in trials. Both sides file motions they know will get rejected. What is not normal is the AP covering this.
One could argue that the allegations of impropriety between Trump and Alfa bank are "fruit of the poison tree", a doctrine that extends the exclusionary rule to make evidence inadmissible in court if it was illegally obtained. Sussmann is a partner in Perkins-Coie, the front men for the dossier, and as a lawyer, an officer of the court.
It shows the lie to the fed's to be a conspiracy!
I did not work for the Hillary campaign.
I didn’t lie to the FBI regarding a dossier.
And, I stopped beating my wife.
