The judge in the case of Democratic cybersecurity lawyer Michael Sussmann has agreed to review dozens of records currently withheld because of assertions of attorney-client privilege by Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign to see if they have been improperly concealed.
The agreement is a win for special counsel John Durham in his case against Sussmann, who has been indicted on charges of concealing his clients, the Clinton campaign and tech executive Rodney Joffe, from FBI general counsel James Baker when he pushed eventually debunked claims of a secret backchannel between the Trump Organization and Russia’s Alfa Bank.
Judge Christopher Cooper said Wednesday he would grant the government’s motion, arguing he did not believe it was breaking attorney-client privilege for him to review the records in dispute in an “in camera” setting, away from the public and the press.
British ex-spy Christopher Steele created a dossier on then-candidate Donald Trump after being hired by the opposition research firm Fusion GPS, which was itself hired by the Perkins Coie law firm and Marc Elias, the general counsel for Clinton’s campaign.
The judge repeatedly pointed to the difference between hiring a firm to do “fact-checking” versus hiring it to do “opposition research.”

I believe Podesta and Mook will be charged with felonies for their false representations of Fusion GPS giving legal counsel that was worthy of attorney-client and/or work product privilege. Billing records clearly show otherwise. Bzzzzt!
The documents haven’t disappeared yet?
I have been pleasantly surprised over the last few months,
with Durham’s activity.
It wasn’t my thought that we’d see anything from all this.
He’s getting closer and closer to the Moll.
Durham’s got a track record for being highly methodical and detailed in his investigations, so while it upset FReepers that he didn’t just ram through a bunch of indictments that would have been blown apart by the kind of defense lawyers these people will have, the rewards of his slow but steady paced approach are now becoming visible.
We have been waiting for this for a long time
We just want to get these Christmas presents opened.
We waited through the Clinton criminal years through George, do nothing, Bush years, Through to illegal election of of Obama years. Finally Trump came along and it is starting to look like justice will prevail.
Looking better and better!
Maybe should have the nickname Tortoise.
The Moll will be dead and buried after lying in state in the Capitol Rotunda before Durham gets close enough to mean anything.
Let the tortoise take his time if she’s gonna get convicted let that it be in 2025. We don’t want a pardon from the great pretender in the oval office.
Hmmmmm...
Rabid Chipmunk vs Determined Schnauzer?
Hillary looks like a Cabbage Patch Doll
Bzzzzt! yes!!!
Unfortunately, Biden can pardon her before she is convicted, just as Ford did with Nixon.
That’s probably what will happen if it went that far.
Want to see how bad Hillary is? Go here, if you dare.
