The month of May won’t be a merry one for Michael Sussmann, one of Hillary Clinton’s top lawyers at her favorite election law firm Perkins Coie, who is facing a criminal charge of lying to the FBI when he passed information to the Bureau’s general counsel, James Baker. Sussman stated explicitly that he was acting as a “good citizen,” not as a lawyer for Trump’s election opponents.
Wink, wink. Nudge, nudge.
The tip was false. It described a secret, traitorous back-channel connection between candidate Trump and the Kremlin and included some “white papers” as “proof.” But that deceit is not part of this criminal charge. Nor is Sussmann’s follow-up meeting with the CIA, where he also claimed to be a “good citizen” not representing anyone, and passed on the same false information, amplifying it with still more data about a secret Russian phone that was always near Trump. The CIA quickly determined the internet data was bogus and perhaps created by Hillary’s anti-Trump group. It also recognized that crucial data had been omitted to create a false impression and perhaps that some of the data had been made up or spoofed.
Sussmann is not being charged with that, at least not yet. Nor is he being charged with participating in a broader criminal conspiracy. Some filings by Special Counsel John Durham suggest he may be preparing such charges against Clinton’s larger network of hoaxers, but he hasn’t leveled those charges yet. He’s going after Sussmann first.
Although a single count of lying to the FBI might seem like a relatively minor charge, Durham is pursuing it for three important reasons. First, a false statement to the FBI is a felony in its own right, or, rather, it is if the statement “materially affected” a federal investigation. Second, Durham seems to have rock-solid evidence...

Except when the commie Democrats prosecute conservatives.
Then it is as fast as a wood chipper munching up twigs.
Hillary is never going back to a presidential run so destruction of her brand is finally being tabled.
“Oops, statutes of limitation have run out.”
It is pretty hard for me to think that running out the clock on the statute of limitations was not really Durham’s mission all along. Everything else was smoke & mirrors. Just like everything from the Just-us Dept, since Clinton. At least.
Sussmann will die first.
I’ve been waiting for years.....

Good one!
Same here.
The link has already been posted by Sgt_Schultze (Post 7) but as a public service, the website archive.today is where to go. You can paste in a URL and see if someone already archived it. If not you can paste the url in and it will be archived. Then links can be read and shared without that paywalls, and without funding places like the New York Times. We all should be using it.
Tell that to people like Michael Flynn and Roger Stone. That second requirement doesn't apply to democrat political targets. Hell, in Flynn's case the first requirement - proving that he lied - didn't even apply.
