Durham: Five Witnesses Connected to the Clinton Campaign’s False Russian Claims Have Refused to Cooperate
JonathanTurley.org ^ | April 17 2022 | Jonathan Turley

Special Counsel John Durham continues to drop bombshells in filings in the prosecution of former Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann. Just last week, Durham defeated an effort by Sussmann to dismiss the charges. He is now moving to give immunity to a key witness while revealing that the claims made by the Clinton campaign were viewed by the CIA as “not technically plausible” and “user created.” He also revealed that at least five of the former Clinton campaign contractors/researchers have invoked the Fifth Amendment and refused to cooperate in fear that they might incriminate themselves in criminal conduct. Finally, Durham offers further details on the involvement of Clinton campaign general counsel Marc Elias and former British spy Christopher Steele in the alleged false claims.

Recently, Durham revealed extremely damaging evidence against Sussmann. However, this is the first full description of the Clinton associates refusing to cooperate under the Fifth Amendment. Durham noted that he gave immunity to an individual identified only as “Research 2.” He then noted that this was made necessary by the refusal to cooperate by key Clinton associates: “The only witness currently immunized by the government, Researcher-2, was conferred with that status on July 28, 2021 – over a month prior to the defendant’s Indictment in this matter. And the Government immunized Researcher-2 because, among other reasons, at least five other witnesses who conducted work relating to the Russian Bank-1 allegations invoked (or indicated their intent to invoke) their right against self-incrimination. The Government therefore pursued Researcher-2’s immunity in order to uncover otherwise-unavailable facts underlying the opposition research project that Tech Executive-1 and others carried out in advance of the defendant’s meeting with the FBI.”

I’m glad that Durham seems to be doing an actual investigation and isn’t just running out the clock.

Elias is the biggest scumbag and the chief architect of the THE STEAL. He’s the biggest prize. Indicting the crooked witch would just make her a martyr. Better to just have her slither away in disgrace and scandel.

Wouldn’t you say that each of the five is looking now for a ‘deal’, and it’s not just with the Durham team. How much would it take for a guy to take the prison ticket than ‘rat’ on Hillary? I’d be thinking $5-million.

The only bad thing is, Durham wasn’t appointed much earlier.
We’ve got to thank Jeff Sessions for that calamity.

Throw them in a DC jail for over a year with the J6 political prisoners. Call it ‘insurrection’.

Nothing will happen. At best, 5 witnesses get a slap on the wrist.

I believe several members of the inner circle went to prison rather than testify against the Clintons.

Better to spend some time in jail than fall victim to SIDS (Sudden Instant Death Syndrome).

Given all that we know now, I really believe that the FBI conducted some of the hits on behalf of the Clintons (Vince Foster & Seth Rich)

Apparently one didn’t believe the “conspiracies”. He probably won’t live to regret it.

They may allow Hillary to be unofficially convicted by a few well-timed leaks, but the DOJ and FBI will skate. Durham’s main job is to protect them.

I guess they would refuse to cooperate I mean if they’re found guilty it could easily lead to charges of treason which could then lead to death.
