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."
But according to Linda Hannity 99% of all the rank and file agents are good people in the FBI... Except none of these good people blew the whistle on the corruption they KNEW was going on in their agency. They are all corrupt and cannot be trusted in any part of an investigation and certainly cannot be taken seriously in any courtroom testimony. At this point if any one who works for the DOJ or FBI are involved with any aspect of a trial there is absolutely cause for reasonable doubt in any jurors mind. Having sat on at least a dozen juries from murder to civil actions I could not in good conscience find anyone guilty if the DOJ/FBI were involved in a trial.
The FISA judges were complicit.
If I remember correctly, he said he did it immediately to make it timely. Of course, he was totally speculating as to what Trump meant when he said....."...................".
A few days later, Trump kicked his a** to the curb.
AND we know absolutely that Comey did NOT read the reports submitted to FISA...Comey said that's not his job.
I predict that there will be only 2 on the jury that will vote guilty....... Fixed it for you.... LOL!
The FISA judges were complicit.
~~~
This question is purely academic, because I don’t believe he would even if he could, but can Durham go after FISA judges?
Law Enforcement is not your friend.
Not at any level.
They knew before day one. They were told in advance that Clinton’s campaign would be cooking this up.
My take on what happened with these judges is 4 different judges signed off on the request. The FISA court judges rotate on a weekly basis. 3 of them were from out of town. My guess is the judges rely on the staff to come to a conclusion while they are out on the town shopping and taking in the sites. It is likely they weren’t presented with any new new material that would overturn the previous judge’s approval. Also, these were all republican appointed judges.
I believe the opposite. I think the FBI came up with this and other things as their contribution to the effort and told Hillary, use this crap.
Who is paying for his defense?
Now, this is some good insight and makes a lot of sense to me.
I would have a hard time trying to yawn through the most disastrous cover-up plot in my lifetime.
In spite of no arrests.
For cripes sake J Edgar the ladies dress wearer had files on the entire government to get what he wanted. Term limits of the POTUS goes so goes the FBI into the history books to be burned away later on by some group of stupid people following the BS they are indoctrinated with in College...
How would you like to work for a law enforcement agency where the people in charge will use the power of their position to achieve a personal or political goal, won’t have your back, will use you for their own nefarious purposes, will lie to you, so that in the end, you will be the one thrown to the wolves? Being supervisors, they’ll deny they ever told you what you claim they said, and you’ll be left holding the bag. Knowing this, every FBI field agent in this country, who is on the bottom rung of the career ladder, should be tendering their resignation immediately.
September 19, 2016 was the same day Combetta was deleting his emails/posts on Reddit...
Sept 20, 2016 was the day Hillary Clinton suddenly postponed a fundraiser ...
No one seems to want to remember that the FISC (Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court), under the FISA (Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act) requires that evidence presented it to in a preliminary submission has to be RESUBMITTED within 90 days with NEW SOURCES. In the Russia! Russia! Russia! this was never done. Hillary and her operatives just shopped a BS story they concocted to several MSM sources and just called THAT ‘new information and sources.’ ALL DONE WITH THE COMPLICTY OF THE FBI (and Comey).
Fire them all and raze their dens of evil to the ground....
Hillary is untouchable..above the law... for some reason..?
Because the enforcers of the law are irredeemably corrupt.
Wake me up when someone, anyone goes to jail.
