Durham bombshell: Prosecutor unveils smoking gun FBI text message, 'joint venture' to smear Trump

Special Counsel John Durham revealed he has unearthed a text message showing Hillary Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann falsely told the FBI he was not working on behalf of any client when he delivered anti-Trump research.

Special Counsel John Durham is revealing new smoking gun evidence, a text message that shows a Clinton campaign lawyer lied to the FBI, while putting the courts on notice he is prepared to show the effort to smear Donald Trump with now-disproven Russia collusion allegations was a "conspiracy."

In a bombshell court filing late Monday night, Durham for the first time suggested Hillary Clinton's campaign, her researchers and others formed a "joint venture or conspiracy" for the purpose of weaving the collusion story to harm Trump's election chances and then the start of his presidency.

"These parties acted as 'joint venturer[s]' and therefore should be 'considered as co-conspirator[s],'" he wrote.

Durham also revealed he has unearthed a text message showing Hillary Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann falsely told the FBI he was not working on behalf of any client when he delivered now-discredited anti-Trump research in the lead-up to the 2016 election. In fact, he was working for the Clinton campaign and another client, prosecutors say.

The existence of the text message between Sussmann and then-FBI General Counsel James Baker was revealed in a court filing late Monday night by Durham's team. Prosecutors said they intend to show Sussmann gave a false story to the FBI but then told the truth about working on behalf of the Clinton campaign when he later testified to Congress.

"Jim – it's Michael Sussmann. I have something time-sensitive (and sensitive) I need to discuss," Sussmann texted Baker on Sept. 18, 2016, according to the new court filing. "Do you have availability for a short meeting tomorrow? I'm coming on my own – not on behalf of a client or company – want to help the Bureau. Thanks."

When Clinton accuses you of something, it's almost always what she is guilty of.

when they ‘investigated’ hillary and came to the conclusion of ‘yep- she did it, BUT, she —DID NOT INTEND— to do it- therefore she isn’t guilty” verdict- everyone knew then that there is no justice left for conservatives-

Here’s the thing:

Our side is never, ever going to get to win the media game, because the media is not on our side. We will never have our “Watergate”, where the Left is caught and humiliated in a devastating public scandal that discredits them for half a century.

Not going to happen.

BUT…

That doesn’t mean we can’t win - it just means it won’t look the same or feel the same. We won’t get the satisfaction of having the media admit they were wrong. They will just lie to the bitter end.

We will not enjoy the satisfaction of having movies depicting us as the heroes and them as the villains. Hollywood will always take their side.

But, we may be headed for an important victory - if not in the media and Hollywood - in the hearts and minds of Americans.

We have the truth on our side, and that is no small thing. The Left is way overplaying their hand.

The closest the right came was when Clinton was busted with Lewinsky.

They were perfectly fine to help them keep this all under wraps hoping it would derail President Trump.

I hate the world “bombshell” because it has been so abused during the Russia-gate era.

I look forward to reading some of what is finally coming out. Things we all knew were likely there, but were deeply buried as government secrets.

The truth does need to be told. All the political show trials trying to smear/impeach or criminally charge Trump are because Democrats so fear him and what he inspired in voters. They must destroy that.

If you look at what Admiral Rogers did to tell Trump he was being spied on. If you look at what the intelligence agencies and State Department did to conspire with “5 eyes” intelligence agencies to set up a trap to catch people in the Trump campaign and later implant moles in the Trump inner circle (or even his outer circle), along with the lies that were happening with the FISA court, the obvious things going on to create false narratives prior to the November elections, and the changes in election laws, it is no wonder that Trump felt that the election was “rigged.”

I hope that those who are yelling about “January 6 th” will ask that some time be focused on what is now being revealed about how the “Deep State” conspired to illegally use government money, connections, and power to prevent a fair election from happening. Yes, that is an even greater threat to democracy than what happened on January 6.

We ALL know there was a COUP going on for FOUR years yet no one of significance has been brought to justice.

This is the most complex RICO prosecution in history. This is not CSI: Georgetown.

Wake me when we have a REAL perp walk of one of the high-profile traitors.

When and if that happens (after Durham has EVIDENCE, not what "all FReepers know"), there won't be any perp walks.

Yes, but the truth does not always lead to victory. The crimes that have never been prosecuted or had prosecutions thrown out are too numerous to list here.

Just like the Hunter Biden laptop, the media finally admitted it was real and has ignored it since. It will go away.

Hillary had hundreds of FBI files on Republicans and nothing happened. Sandy Berger steals files from the National Archives and nothing happens. Dozens of murders and nothing happens. Clinton Foundation crimes, nothing happens. Clinton email server with classified info on Anthony Weiner's laptop....nothing happens.

I admire your hope that we will get a victory, but the communists keep marching forward anyway.
