Michael Sussmann is the Democratic lawyer who is being prosecuted by special counsel John Durham for lying to the FBI. Back in February, Sussmann’s attorneys filed a motion to dismiss the case arguing that even if their client lied about who he was working for when he brought information about Trump and Alfa Bank to the FBI, that lie was an “ancillary matter.”
Today, the judge held a pre-trial hearing about the request for dismissal and it sounds as if it didn’t go well for Sussmann.
~ "The bulk of Thursday’s hearing was devoted to a motion by Sussmann’s attorneys to throw out the single-count false-statement charge against their client on various grounds. The effort appeared to face an uphill battle because of the relatively high bar to have a criminal case tossed out on a motion to dismiss…
“I obviously don’t have the benefit of the discovery in this case,” the judge said. “Why aren’t these jury questions?”" ~
The judge didn’t issue an immediate ruling but it sounds as if he’s not going to grant the dismissal. In any case, the hearing did reveal some details about the prosecutor’s case. For one thing, Durham’s prosecutors revealed they plan to challenge some of the attorney-client privilege claims made by the defense.

Mostly Durham is trying to protect the FBI and DOJ.
They were up to their necks in the Trump/Russia collusion delusion.
Has Mark Levin talked about Bill Barr?
Has Mark Levin talked about Bill Barr?Is he still on Fox? Silenced/censored on all things 2020 election or he'll lose his cushy job.
Big mouth chest pounding protector of the Constitution is as big a fraud as the rest of the back stabbers at Fox News.
Fox News is bread and circuses for the drooling class.
Mark rips Barr, Bolton, and any other shitty pick of Trumps who stabbed Trump and MAGA in the back.
Mark acknowledges the big steal and fights where the real fight is— the unconstitutional altering of state-legislature-approved voting systems. All of the steal states illegally altered their voting laws and all the way up to USSC the fix was in. And Trump let it happen.
Yes, Fox sucks. Yes, Mark, Bongino use the platform to broadcast true conservative ideas on that RINO network.
The only thing you can knock Levin on is his ongoing friendship with Hannity.
I haven’t seen him post anything on Gettr.
On his daily show
I’m truly amazed they’re letting Durham run with this. No doubt the pressure on Biden to order his AG to shut it down is enormous. Same with pressure on the AG.
Grateful, just surprised. Because if they shut it down, the MSM-IC would not even mention it.
Look for, “Durham is out of control!!” cries from politicians and MSM-IC. That will be the tell. Then the clock is ticking, till the plug gets pulled.
The jury is still out. Or more accurately, the jury hasn't been seated yet.
Is it possible the AG has no say in this matter? Just asking as there are things that Biden can’t control as POTUS
The AG isn’t going to shut down Durham because Garland knows that Durham has so much shit on so many people, Durham would be free of any constraints in exposing all the evidence of all the conspiracies and criminal conduct by the deep state.
Mark acknowledges the big stealA pathetic attempt to apologize for him if you don't have links to where he "acknowledges the big steal" on Fox.
Levine, Bongino, Hannity and everyone else on Fox are frauds.
And Trump let it happen.Right. So now it's all Trumps fault.
It's now obvious where you're coming from.
BTW, there wasn't anyone as vile and vicious against Trump as Levine was...Nice try though.
Well, let’s start with the basics. Do you listen to Levin or Bongino regularly or at all?
That sounds plausible.
"the steal" is not about Trump.
The steal is about the elected office of the president and the betrayal of a nation.
Making it about Trump only shows stupidity. It tends to excuse "the steal" for some dimwits because they hate Trump.Do you listen to Levin or Bongino regularly or at all?
Post any links you have of them, on Fox News, addressing election fraud 2020...Anything else they say, anywhere else is just noise.
Mark (whose wife was on the legal team in at least one state) has been nailing this on Constituational grounds since election day, ie, the state legislatures have ultimate Constitutional authority to set election rules and liberal state supreme courts, most notably PA, aided by the USSC, let the phony election rules (drop boxes, unsolicited mailed-out ballots, etc) stand. I’m not digging up links for one who seems to prefer sitting in darkness. Good day, sir.
Obviously not.
