The trial of Michael Sussmann began another week on Monday, with more witnesses being called as Special Counsel John Durham continues to build his case against the former Hillary Clinton lawyer.
Sussmann is charged with lying to the FBI, something he allegedly did when he hid who he was working for while sharing the now-debunked Alfa-Bank story. That disinformation campaign, which was meant to falsely assert Donald Trump was colluding with the Russians during the 2016 election, has now been directly tied to Hillary Clinton during the trial after it was revealed that she approved its dissemination.
But apparently, Sussmann and Hillary Clinton by proxy weren’t the only ones lying. According to documents presented by Durham, the FBI lied about the Alfa Bank smear’s provenance, telling agents it had come from the DOJ. In reality, Sussmann had brought it directly to the FBI, with the leadership being aware of its origins as badly done political opposition research.
New York Post @nypost FBI wrongly told its agents Trump-Russia collusion claims had come from DOJ, bombshell document reveals https://trib.al/wk0wYYc
"FBI agents probing since-debunked claims of a secret back channel between Donald Trump and a Russian bank believed that the allegations had originated with the Department of Justice — when in fact they came from Hillary Clinton campaign attorney Michael Sussmann, who had shopped them to the bureau’s then-general counsel days earlier.
In the latest revelation to emerge from Sussmann’s trial in DC federal court on a count of lying to the FBI, special counsel John Durham’s prosecutors revealed that investigators had received an electronic communication citing a referral from the DOJ “on or about” Sept. 19, 2016, the same day Sussmann met with James Baker, then the FBI’s top lawyer."
Who at the FBI lied and told the agents it had come from the DOJ ?
Comey ? Baker ? Strozk ?
So,if i ..get a lawyer to lie for me..to the FBI...means my lies don’t really count???
And absolutely nothing will happen to me?
Defund the FBI!
Only the 1% per Hannity. The rest of the rank and file are hardworking and dedicated to the constitution and serving only for the public’s best interest.
I agree with you there. It has value in that sense.
Odds are very good that the fbi was directly involved in the misinformation campaign. They have a history of creating a false narrative on someone and then opening an investigation.
Just think about this for a second. The Dems and the MSM were willing to start a nuclear war / WW3 with Russia just to get Trump. They blamed Russia for all sorts of things including throwing our elections. This is pure evil, and treasonous beyond belief.
So what will the GOP do about it?
Absolutely NOTHING.
I am old enough to remember Sen. Howard Baker’s (R TN) questioning during the Nixon Impeachment; “What did he know and when did he know it?” Let us get HRC in the chair and watch her LIE but with her subordinates talking elsewhere.
Yeah, a dream but why not dream BIGLY!
Exposure of Hillary’s machinations are the best we can hope for. She will never be held legally accountable for her crimes.
If Pubbies gain control of the congress they will look the other way. Hillary is basically immune from any consequences.
Now ask yourself if we have equal justice for all.
Yes, but patience, grasshopper...must give everyone a chance to fully perjure themselves.
:: The rest of the rank and file are hardworking and dedicated to the constitution and serving only for the public’s best interest. ::
While looking the other way and giving their direct supervisors a pass in treason.
(That is NOT in the public interest. It is in the interest of further employment or good health.)
Unfortunately. Like the Scooter Libby jury that had a leftwing reporter and a die hard Democrat on it.
It was a soft coup attempt.
Would this make Sussman seem more sympathetic to a jury? If he’s accused of lying to the FBI and the FBI is proven to be big liars then maybe in their eyes its a wash?
:: The Dems and the MSM were willing to start a nuclear war / WW3 with Russia just to get Trump. ::
What’s the fastest and easiest way to get the Earth’s population down to the utopian level of 500 million?
Ask Gates and Schwab.
Probably Strzok and or Priestap.
“Why did former FBI Director James Comey and the rest of the FBI leadership purposely obfuscate the source of the Alfa Bank story? Why lie about it coming from the DOJ? I certainly have my suspicions, and that’s putting it lightly. The only reason to do those things is to push a false narrative that otherwise wouldn’t hold up under nominal scrutiny.”
In attorney terms, “asked and answered . . .”
Bottom line. The Clinton campaign was assisted in its dirty tricks operation with the help of the FBI.
Priestap may have gotten involved due to Terry McAuliffe’s pal Andy McCabe.
