Blocking evidence: Clinton campaign tries to keep memos from Durham's upcoming trial
Just the News ^ | 4/20/22 | John Solomon

Posted on 04/20/2022 12:47:47 PM PDT by Titus-Maximus

Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign and its former top officials are intervening in Special Counsel John Durham’s investigation, seeking to block the release of memos about its Russia research on Donald Trump on grounds that it is covered by attorney-client privilege. The requests were filed late Tuesday by the campaign, its former chairman John Podesta, its former campaign manager Robby Mook and its former law firm Perkins Coie, coming about a month before the start of former campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann’s trial on a charge of lying to the FBI.

“Hillary for America respectfully moves this honorable court to intervene as an interested non party to assert privilege claims over documents and information that the government seeks to compel,” the campaign wrote in its motion.

The motion is designed to block evidence of the campaign's work with former MI6 agent Christopher Steele and the firm Fusion GPS to dig up dirt on Trump alleging Russia collusion, some of which was later shared with the FBI and CIS by Sussmann.

Durham alleges some of the Trump dirt the campaign shared with the government was false and that Sussmann lied to conceal the fact he approached the FBI on behalf of the campaign and a tech executive linked to the campaign. Sussmann has pleaded innocent.

“If it involves illegalities it is now revoked................”

only if it involves future crimes. Past crimes are covered.

The crime/fraud exception to the attorney-privilege is both applicable and controlling.

Motion DENIED.

“Durham is quite a bulldog, eh?”

I hope you are right. I thought the same thing when Bill Barr was introduced.

I agree. Hitlery won’t get away with this, imo.

“Attorney client privilege does not apply if the attorney and client are conspiring to break the law and subsequently break the law.”

I did learn that on an Investigation Discovery true crime show a few years ago. When the attorney was “in on it” and facilitating parts of the crime ... no privilege.

Perhaps Durham already has the files, and is simply fighting legal maneuvering to disallow their submittal.

Attorney client privilege? Really?

Ask Bob Mueller about Michael Cohen.

Attorney-Client PRIVILEGE is exactly that, a privilege, not a right.

Actually, it is a right. If the requirements for the privilege are met, the evidence can't come in unless the client waives the privilege.

This is the Truth:

Mueller seized materials, he didn’t request they be turned over. He said there was a danger they would be destroyed and executed raids.

Durham is letting Wray run things, and 1,200 days later, letting all these peeps drag things in further into the future.

Notice Comey, Strzok, Lisa Page, McCabe, Ohr, Halper, Somma, and Joseph Pientka have all been labeled good guys by old Durham.

This guy is Deep State

They’re free to try any legal tactic they want. One would expect that from attorneys making $$$$ per hour.

The court can also deny their tactics.

And Durham has laid the groundwork that the broader case was a conspiracy, with the lawyers acting as conspirators. Unless the judge is crooked, the Dems should not prevail with their request.

I think Durham as everything he needs. The Clinton gang is scrambling because they know what they did.

“Unless the judge is crooked,... “

That’s the part that worries me. I’m guessing that 75% of judges are crooked.

I don’t want Durham to be a bulldog. I want him to be a vampire bulldog on steroids with rabies.
