Durham has until the weekend to charge Michael Sussmann because of a five-year statute of limitations.
_____________________________________________________________________________
Special counsel John Durham reportedly is seeking a grand jury indictment against Michael Sussmann, a cybersecurity lawyer at a Democratic-allied law firm that represented Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign.
According to the New York Times, the charge is said to be related to an alleged false statement to the FBI about a client's identity when Sussmann pushed now-debunked claims about secret communications between Russia’s Alfa Bank and the Trump Organization in the lead-up to the 2016 presidential election.
Durham “has told the Justice Department that he will ask a grand jury to indict a prominent cybersecurity lawyer on a charge of making a false statement to the FBI,” the New York Times reported on Wednesday, citing “people familiar with the matter.”
Prior testimony and documents show Sussmann, who worked at Perkins Coie, delivered allegations about the Alfa server to then-FBI General Counsel James Baker in fall 2016. Baker has told invetsigators Sussman told him his approach was not on behalf of any client. But Sussmann told Congress he made the approach on behalf of a computer security client.
The newspaper said Durham's team has obtained records showing Sussmann billed work on the Alfa Bank matter to the Clinton campaign, the newspaper said.
Sussmann’s lawyers, Sean M. Berkowitz and Michael S. Bosworth, acknowledged Wednesday that they expected him to be indicted, but denied wrongdoing.
“Mr. Sussmann has committed no crime,” they told the Times. “Any prosecution here would be baseless, unprecedented and an unwarranted deviation from the apolitical and principled way in which the Department of Justice is supposed to do its work. We are confident that if Mr. Sussmann is charged, he will prevail at trial and vindicate his good name.
Durham has until the weekend to charge Sussmann because of a five-year statute of limitations, the newspaper said.
“Hey, there’s this guy who works in the mail room. I think we can pin everything on him ...”
Let that be a lesson to anyone working in the mailroom.
Work for scuzzy aristocrats, you get to be the fall guy.
Bravo Foxtrot Delta.
SO IT *DID* COME FROM THE HILLIARY CAMP???
What a surprise
“Hey, there’s this guy who works in the mail room. I think we can pin everything on him:
Agree.
Durham was looking for the lowest hanging fruit he could find. This is just stupid. Who cares anymore what this jerk does. He had no intention of carrying out a real investigation.
So there you go... 5 years have passed- they slow-waked it past the sculpture of limitations.
I imagine charges will be filed first thing Monday morning ...
That picture of Bull Durham makes you think he’s real tough. Yeah right.
Post 4-
Agreed.... Wait and see how this game plays out.
The system of 'checks and balances' has been shot to hell in this country. Who can cheat the best will be our dear leaders. Sad, sad, sad......
That was the whole purpose of Sessions, Barr and Durham....run out the clock.
The same will happen with election fraud and every other crime committed by the communists because they are in full control and we are urinating into the wind.
Those who still play the "hopeful" card have become complete jokes.
Perkins Coie attorney.

Exactly.
“Durham reportedly seeking indictment against Clinton campaign lawyer who gave FBI Russia dirt”
That ought to put a dent in their nefarious activities and while their at it; spend a few more million to nab the janitor as I’m sure he was in on the high level treason.
Well , whoop-de-freakin’- do !
Can we please stop posting Durham stories?
Here’s an article on Sussman’s particular role:

This is not a ‘mail room guy’. He’s a substantial part of multiple DNC/Clinton/GPS/FBI operations.
The real issue is what Mr. K notes below:
“So there you go... 5 years have passed- they slow-waked it past the sculpture of limitations.”
Even if they flip him, it is so late that they won’t be able to prosecute anyone else - even if they actually make the deadline on this guy.
