Durham: Five Hillary Clinton Associates Are Taking the Fifth in Russia Hoax Prosecution
Breitbart ^ | 4-18-2022 | by Joel B. Pollak

Posted on 04/18/2022 8:04:34 AM PDT by blam

Five associates of Hillary Clinton and her campaign are invoking their Fifth Amendment rights and refusing to cooperate with Special Counsel John H. Durham, according a filing in federal court revealed later Friday in Washington, DC.

The revelation emerged in a motion filed by Durham to oppose the efforts of defendant Michael Sussmann and the Clinton campaign to withhold some documents from evidence by asserting attorney-client privilege.

Sussmann is charged with lying to the FBI in 2016 when he informed the FBI about a fraudulent link between then-candidate Donald Trump and the Russian government via Alfa Bank. Sussmann allegedly presented himself as a concerned citizen, and hid the fact that he was working for the Clinton campaign.

In the filing, Durham noted that while one witness, identified as “Researcher-2,” was granted immunity from prosecution in exchange for testimony, “at least five other witnesses who conducted work relating to the Russian Bank-1 allegations invoked (or indicated their intent to invoke) their right against self-incrimination.”

Legal scholar Jonathan Turley noted in a commentary on the filing:

[Durham] is now moving to give immunity to a key witness while revealing that the claims made by the Clinton campaign were viewed by the CIA as “not technically plausible” and “user created.” He also revealed that at least five of the former Clinton campaign contractors/researchers have invoked the Fifth Amendment and refused to cooperate in fear that they might incriminate themselves in criminal conduct.

Turley also noted that Durham’s filing “also detailed how the false Russian collusion claims related to Alfa Bank involved Clinton General Counsel Marc Elias and Christopher Steele.”

Steele is the former British spy who worked for opposition research firm Fusion GPS to produce the fraudulent Russia “dossier” that triggered government surveillance of the Trump campaign and the broader “Russia collusion”

Something not making sense here. I thought that with a Grand Jury situation the 5th Amendment could not be claimed. So, .... there has to be a good bit more going on here.
And we will never know the full story.
But it seems like the digital trail has all the details.
One more thing - Can we expect to hear any of these people say that now-dead John McCain was a co-mastermind of this entire thing?
The surprises are beyond what even a good fiction-writer can provide.

Let’s hope Durham can see this through.

Certainly his is connecting dots legally which could turn out to be a wonderful thing.

I am willing to be patient as long as there is progress and there certainly sounds like there is. The leaks prove it and I suspect the leaks are 4 or 5 steps behind where the tip of this investigation stands. The leaks might as well have a big giant bow on them......these packages are wrapped and ready to be opened when the time is right.

"Researcher 2 is probably somebody inside the CIA who told Durham about the existence of the evidence."

"Researcher 2" is David Dagon, who according to Techno Fog has been given immunity, probably to sweat both Elias and more particularly "Researcher 1", Manos Antonakakis.

He is worse, and much, much more important, more important than Hillary who was just a beneficiary of his work. He is the guy who came up with the legal attack on the elections process where the democrats bypassed state legislatures.

I’ll settle for a jail sentence

Good luck, the guy they caught red handed lying to a fisa court to get a warrant didn't even lose his law license. You can do what ever you like to Trump and his associates, there are no consequences. It's open season on MAGA.

“Grant them immunity and fry the big fish”

Yeah sure, like Cheryl Mills and Heather Samuelson worker bees for PIAPS who the FIB gave immunity to in the Hildabeast email server scandal but required nothing in return. Free as a bird.

Yes. They invoked the 5th so they wouldn’t have to commit suicide.

They play the game so well. Clinton and her ilk never say WORD. Trump’s people are talking to the bogus J6 committee.

The statute of limitations is tolled in conspiracy cases. As a practical matter, the SOL restarts every day.

Their immunity is not valid if fraud was involved.
