Special Counsel John Durham enters court on Monday with the first trial of his investigation into the Democrats collusion hoax with Russia. It’s a formality. Mr. Durham has already won.
Perkins Coie attorney Michael Sussmann is accused of lying to the Federal Bureau of Investigation by claiming that the dirt on Donald Trump he passed on to the FBI was not delivered on behalf of “any client”. Mr. Sussmann was on the payroll of Hillary Clinton’s campaign and the Democratic National Committee and worked extensively with outside actors and the media to produce the collusion narrative as well as documents that fueled FBI investigations into the campaign. of Mr. Trump in 2016, according to the Durham documents. Mr. Sussmann pleaded not guilty.
Commentators have spent the past week wondering whether Judge Christopher Cooper’s rulings on the use of evidence would help or hinder Mr Durham’s case. It doesn’t really matter. Mr Durham has already achieved his far greater goal with this narrow indictment. He put every sordid collusion player in the hot seat, with ramifications beyond the courtroom.
From the day the special counsel released Sussmann’s 27-page indictment in September (and the ensuing charges against case contributor Igor Danchenko), it became clear he had ambitions that were all right. beyond a conviction for lying. Each of his repositories follow the same deliberate strategy – lengthy memoirs and long exhibits full of names, emails and documents, which connect all the dots and expose the web that enabled this hoax, and the lies that led to it. hid.
Democratic superlawyer Marc Elias is not charged, but he also no longer leads Perkins Coie’s elite political law firm. The firm announced last August that Mr. Elias, who had been there for 28 years, was leaving to start his own small practice. Weeks later, Sussmann’s indictment laid bare the role Mr. Elias, a longtime DNC and Clinton attorney, played in ginning up and distributing the false Trump-Russia allegations. .
Christopher Steele, author of the infamous dossier, once hailed by the press as an international super spy, is now a man in search of reputation. The “intelligence” in his file, according to Mr. Durham’s documents, came primarily from a Brookings Institution employee, Mr. Danchenko, who was recycling salacious chatter from a Clinton associate. Whatever work Mr. Steele might find in the future will not include helping the FBI or any other respectable agency.
Fusion GPS, which hired Mr. Steele, has gone toxic in Washington. The Durham lawsuits show how the opposition research firm operates – not by producing real research, but by making underhanded claims to law enforcement, then intimidating journalists into covering “inquiries ” inspired by Fusion. (The meltdown in court filings says his job was to help Perkins Coie with legal advice — a claim the judge largely dismissed Thursday.) The Washington press knows it was played — and how. A recent Durham filing published dozens of emails showing reporters from major outlets chatting with their Fusion narrators, with a Slate writer even sending a draft October 2016 article to Fusion for review. Will the DNC soon hire Fusion? Even gullible journalists will think twice before running with another Fusion track.

Hopefully they can get that scum Elias to perjure himself. He is on the government witness list.
Still as others have said and I agree, Sussman knows he is dead if he turns over. Worse case he gets convicted like the FBI guy did with no downside. After some few months, he will even get his license back. In the meantime, he will have a job in one of the companies controlled by one of the dem gangsters.
We will know what we do now. Most of it is explained in the indictment. But unless there is some assassination squad working on this, of which I have no knowledge or belief, the end result is Clinton, the FBI and CIA scums, plus the rest of the cast of characters will just fade into the sunset.

not and live to tell about it.
I WANT MARC ELIAS!!!!
He just happened to be their DIRTIEST!
The Washington press was not played, it was a player. MSM journalists knowingly spread the DNC falsehoods.
Absolutely correct. It has not ended. They've simply moved on to the next falsehood.
If Marc Elias is allowed to continue using our judicial system to pimp the American Left's agenda...
Thanks bitt.

don’t forget the book deal advance
no doubt about it!
he was the hildabeast’s “go to” guy
hop they get adjoining cells
The Washington press knows it was played . . . .
Yeah, it’s been quite a while since the FBI could be referred to in the company of “respectable agencies”. Their role in this has been obstruction, suppression of evidence, collusion with the perpetrators, and outright lying from the first.
True that!!!
True...
There is no legitimate reason why some ignorant nihilist moron, just because he gets hired by the NYT, should get a special privilege to withhold testimony in a criminal -- or even a civil -- trial.
Especially in this age of Twitter, blogging, and on-line videos, everyman is a reporter. Giving NYT and WaPo propagandists special privileges is evidence of rot in the judicial system.
The Warshington Compost and The New York Slimes have issued massive retractions concerning the bogus impeachments of
President Trump.( sarc.)
Is this not sedition?
Maybe the Obama family is neutralizing the Clinton family?
ANd so it begins!!
Well if that is so then some big heads will role.
