Just days after Hillary Clinton emissaries Christopher Steele and Michael Sussmann approached the FBI in September 2016 with dirt that would infuse the Russia collusion probe, the campaign's opposition research firm sent some of the same information to New York Times journalists.

"Gents good to see you yesterday," a Fusion GPS executive wrote the reporters. "Sounded like you might be interested in some of the attached russia-related material. these are internal, open source research drafts, as agreed, pls treat this as background/not for attribution. as you'll see it's all easily replicated anyway."

The invitation to further dirty up Donald Trump continued: "Can also send you a [name]/Toronto memo once i dig it out. I'm skipping over [name] and [company name]. believe your guys have done that up ... leave it to you to distribute internally, or not, as you see fit. don't believe sunny isles/hollywood or panama or toronto have been touched by brands xy or z. amazingly, don't think anyone has done up the trump tower poker ring story either. pretty vivid color there."

The missive is one of hundreds of emails that Special Counsel John Durham has obtained between Clinton campaign operatives and journalists that spread "unverified derogatory information" about Donald Trump, spawning the false Russia collusion narrative shortly before Election Day 2016. They've now been made public in court filings.

Durham recently disclosed several communications with reporters in a filing designed to reject the Clinton campaign's claim that its Steele dossier and other research should be shielded from public view at an upcoming trial because it was covered by attorney client privilege.

Durham's argument is straightforward: Attorney-client privilege doesn't apply to materials the campaign distributed widely to third parties.

So glad all this coming out now, sh## we already knew 2 years ago.

Is the Durham investigation the same as the Mueller investigation in that the Attorney General can shut it down as Barr did? If so, why would the Biden regime allow it to go forward? The only answers appear to be to keep Her Heinous on the sidelines or to do what has been done so far—bring out what went on, but put it all on the Klintoon lackey of the day which would clean her hands of all wrongdoing. I cannot see any other reasons, but again, that's on the basis of Garland being able to do what Barr did. I certainly don't believe for a second that an imbecilic sycophant like Garland has integrity and wants to see the truth come out.

Thanks Bull Durham for closing the barn door after the donkey rode off.

Durham’s argument is straightforward: Attorney-client privilege doesn’t apply to materials the campaign distributed widely to third parties.

Being straightforward and legally right, and having $5, will get you a cup of coffee.

[HighSierra5]

Her Heinous. Perfect.

[Lockbox]

Lawyer emails dirt on client’s adversary to the press to be published damaging adversary. Then claims attorney client privilege nice investigation starts 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Fellow FReepers, while I hear your disappointment with Barr & Durham, let us not forget the original SWAMP Creature that DJT made his 1st Attorney General, Jeff Sessions! He of the instant recusal to do his job! Suspicion still wonders what the Clinton FBI files had upon him!

[TalBlack]

Durham, wait, I can get this, he’s doing something somewhere about something or other…Am I right?

While I loathe Mitch the Turtle, the one good thing he did for the country was to prevent Garland being on SCOTUS.

With that said, the Obama/Biden cabal hates the Clintons. If this Durham investigation only has dirt on the Clintons, they will allow it to go forward as (another) distraction from Hunter's laptop.

And if/when Durham ever does charge anyone and brings them to court, it will all be through the DC courts, where Democrats are never brought to justice and made-up last-minute laws are devised in order to throw the book at Republicans.

[Sicon]

the unholy alliance between traditional media reporters and the Democrat machine will be laid bare for the world to see.

And the world will collectively shrug its shoulders, and do absolutely nothing about it.

It’s interesting that these democrats had to actually go to russia to fabricate this stuff about Trump. If they Actually Had something it would have come to light Long before then. The clintons are well known for having a trunk full of dirt on EVERYONE that could possibly oppose them. So, it’s instructive that they couldnt find anything on Trump. They had NOTHING. He is SO CLEAN that they had to go find a drunk russian to fabricate this stupid story full of obscenity and ignorance. Then they had to peddle this bag of crap all over the media and the DC Swamp. Nobody believed it then, nobody believes it now. That’s why they have to have the ‘Ministry of Truth’ so that they can manage the narrative.

[eeriegeno]

The only bull about Durham is what comes out in the end! And it doesn’t smell too good. Love this Durham guy, all the guts and speed of a sloth!

[Zwerni1]

Exactly

[Vaduz]

Democrat finger print list keeps growing.

[Texas resident]

It appears that this investigation is being allowed to move forward because hillary and company are the targets.

obama/biden will use this to destroy the clintons and get them off the stage.

[AnthonySoprano]

.
It’s moving so slow because?

About 1100 days and counting

For single count charges?

Zero Raids.

RICO AND VENUE:

I know nothing about law, but I’m thinking RICO fed rules are arbitrary in “conspiracy” situations..????

For federal courts, personal jurisdiction must satisfy the requirements
of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4(k). 2 4
Rule 4(k) limits personal jurisdiction of federal courts to those
defendants “who could be subjected to the jurisdiction of a court of
general jurisdiction in the state in which the district court is located.

‘2 5 Thus, a federal court’s personal jurisdiction generally is no
greater than the courts of the state in which the federal court sits.
Rule 4(k) also gives a federal court personal jurisdiction over defendants
“when authorized by a statute of the United States.”

26 Thus, Congress
can allow courts to exercise personal jurisdiction over
defendants located anywhere in the nation,27 so long as Fifth Amendment
due process is not violated.

28
RICO contains two provisions that expand personal jurisdiction.
First, § 1965(d) allows national service of process over defendants, so
long as service is given within the ‘Judicial district in which such person
resides, is found, has an agent, or transacts his affairs.”

29 Second,
if a court has jurisdiction over one RICO defendant, then § 1965(b).....

Time to 'out' the names of all press members AND find out what favors (CIA FBI LEAKS) the received in return.
