Clinton Campaign Contractor Withheld 1,500 Documents Requested By Durham
Trending Politics ^ | 6/2/23 | staff-Chris

Posted on 06/03/2023 3:55:25 PM PDT by CFW

Fusion GPS, a contractor that worked for Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign, reportedly withheld over 1,500 documents from Special Counsel John Durham. These documents were sought during Durham’s investigation into the origins of the FBI’s Russia probe. Fusion GPS cited attorney-client privilege in their refusal to hand over the documents, a claim that has been contested by many legal experts​.

According to the initial report, Durham did not take legal action to acquire the documents.

On Friday, Paul Sperry, a senior reporter for Real Clear Investigations, broke the news on Twitter, stating,

“BREAKING: Hillary Clinton campaign contractor Fusion GPS held back more than 1,500 DOCUMENTS sought by Special Counsel Durham, claiming attorney-client privilege, and Durham didn’t sue for the evidence.”

Fusion GPS also had free rein within the NSA’s copious databases courtesy of the FBI until Admiral Rogers caught them red-handed. I’m only guessing, of course, but I don’t think those 1500 pages were cookie recipes.

I always wondered what the GPS stood for... Obviously not Global Positioning System...

So, I’m thinking is stands for: Graft & Payoffs or ‘Suicide’.

There were two sources for the antiTrump dossier(s)... Igor Danchenko and the dynamic duo Sid Blumenthal and Cody Shearer.
And as it happens, both Sid and Cody are dead.

Ah, you are right, thanks for the correction, he isn’t. He was so quiet for a while I thought re went belly up. I see he has surfaced in April to warn Democrats that each indictment of Trump makes Trump stronger.

Cody’s source was Winer, which leads to John Kerry, who has been busy as can be lately.

I wonder if the stonewalled docs are those pertaining to Shearer, Winer, Kerry, and Baer:


One of the people they used to pass on these false allegations to the FBI was Jonathan Winer, then a U.S. deputy assistant secretary of state for international law enforcement and former special envoy for Libya.

Winer declined to comment for this article, but in a Washington Post op-ed in February of last year, he explained his meeting with his “old friend” Blumenthal. When the two met in September 2016, Winer had already met with Steele and was familiar with the contents of Steele’s dossier on Trump.

“What struck me was how some of [Shearer’s] material echoed Steele’s but appeared to involve After the Blumenthal meeting, Winer passed Shearer’s material on to Steele.

“[Steele] told me it was potentially ‘collateral’ information. I asked him what that meant. He said that it was similar but separate from the information he had gathered from his sources. I agreed to let him keep a copy of the Shearer notes,” Winer recounts.

He further states: “I did not mention or share his notes with anyone at the State Department. I did not expect them to be shared with anyone in the U.S. government. But I learned later that Steele did share them — with the FBI, after the FBI asked him to provide everything he had on allegations relating to Trump, his campaign and Russian interference in U.S. elections.”

I think that has been obvious for some time now. It’s amazing how many thing in DC politics they are smack dab in the middle of managing.

Those Chicom jets and ships sure look like ours.

Why did ole Fart faced POTUS Biden looked so surprised when he was asked about the Chicom Balloons flying over the U.S.A.

The Clintoons probably gave the Chicoms way too many of our military secrets and so did Obama.

I hope that the oversight committee members read the reporting of those such as Julie Kelly, John Solomon, Paul Sperry, etc. For they seem to uncover a lot more information than many of the congressional staffers and investigators.

https://www.justice.gov/archives/jm/criminal-resource-manual-652-statute-limitations-conspiracy

Conspiracy is a continuing offense. For statutes such as 18 U.S.C. § 371, which require an overt act in furtherance of the conspiracy, the statute of limitations begins to run on the date of the last overt act. See Fiswick v. United States, 329 U.S. 211 (1946); United States v. Butler, 792 F.2d 1528 (11th Cir. 1986). For conspiracy statutes which do not require proof of an overt act, such as RICO (18 U.S.C. § 1961) or 21 U.S.C. § 846, the government must allege and prove that the conspiracy continued into the limitations period. The crucial question in this regard is the scope of the conspiratorial agreement, and the conspiracy is deemed to continue until its purpose has been achieved or abandoned. See United States v. Northern Imp. Co., 814 F.2d 540 (8th Cir. 1987); United States v. Coia, 719 F.2d 1120 (11th Cir. 1983), cert. denied, 466 U.S. 973 (1984).

An individual’s “withdrawal” from a conspiracy starts the statute of limitations running as to that individual. “Withdrawal” from a conspiracy for this purpose means that the conspirator must take affirmative action by making a clean breast to the authorities or communicating his or her disassociation to the other conspirators. See United States v. Gonzalez, 797 F.2d 915 (10th Cir. 1986).

etc...
