Clinton campaign aides try to ‘protect the queen’ at ex-lawyer’s trial: legal expert
New York Post ^ | May 22, 2022 12:49pm | Ben Feuerherd and Bruce Golding

Bombshell testimony that Hillary Clinton personally authorized giving a reporter since-debunked data about Donald Trump and Russia was part of a chess-like maneuver to “protect the queen,” a former US Justice Department official told The Post.

Jim Trusty said former Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook’s revelation Friday, which he quickly tried to walk back, actually meshed with other testimony in which Mook and former campaign general counsel Marc Elias both said they were unaware campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann planned to also provide the information to the FBI.

Both men said they would have objected to the move if they’d known.

“The strategy here is Protect the Queen!” Trusty said in an email.

“The Knights (lawyers for the campaign, the campaign manager) have drawn the line – admitting what they have to admit.”

Meanwhile, Mook and Elias also suggested that Clinton “was shocked, shocked by Sussmann going to the FBI,” said Trusty, now a Washington, DC, lawyer.

“Legal representation simply does not work that way. You don’t ‘free-lance’ a visit to the FBI while billing your client for the time,” he said.

Sussmann is on trial in DC on a single count of lying to the government when he met with then-FBI general counsel James Baker on Sept. 19, 2016, and handed over material that purportedly showed a cyber backchannel between a Trump Organization server and Russia’s Alfa Bank.

He’s accused of falsely denying that he was acting on behalf of a client, with Durham alleging that Sussmann was actually working for both the Clinton campaign and Rodney Joffe, a tech executive who told him about the data.

Thomas Baker suggested that the case against Sussmann would be stronger if not for changes instituted by former FBI Director Robert Mueller following the Sept. 11 terror attacks.

Even if the evil witch did not authorize going to the FBI (she did) she had plenty of time to set the record straight .

Tell us something we don’t know.

He wasn’t “freelancing”.

Hillary clearly ordered the Code Red.

Here’s something those aides just don’t get. Hillary would sell any of them out in a second, if that would be to her advantage. And don’t think another incident in Marcy Park would be out of the question.

It’s still amazing to me how the Deep State Media could turn this unpleasant, grating, hopelessy corrupt, ridiculously self-important failed lawyer into the “Goddess-Hero of American Women” because her husband was cheating on her.

Actually, it amazes me more that the entire US legal apparatus somehow believes it will be crushed and destroyed if it fails to lay as much as a fingernail on “Madam Secretary.”

The fbi knew it was BS.
It gave them the pretense for Crossfire Hurricane and the FISA warrants.
They were more than happy to play their part in the coup to get rid of Bad Orange Man.

Mueller also knew exactly how the whole ball of wax was started. He and his staff went out of their way to not explore anything that might exonerate Trump. That’s why they destroyed their cell phones. https://nypost.com/2020/09/16/by-destroying-evidence-team-mueller-proved-they-have-a-lot-to-hide/

I think CNN tried that with Brian Stelter.

Don’t forget Bill Clinton and his Tarmac Meeting with whatshername...are we supposed to believe Hillary didn’t know about that? What was that meeting for? The reporter who reported the meeting is dead now.
