I am of the view that the FBI legal counsel, Jim Baker, led the FBI agents into believing the matter came down from the DOJ.
“... FBI wrongly told its agents Trump-Russia collusion claims had come from DOJ...”
Isn’t this exactly what Sussmann is being prosecuted for?
It’s disgraceful that the Democrat machine knew in advance that they could make false claims about a Presidential candidate, a sitting President and make his entire 4 years as a President and that any info of such false claims would come out maybe 5 years later and get away with it because they knew the FBI would cover and do the work for them.
This should have all come out under Mueller.
SEPTEMBER 2, 2016 : (LISA PAGE WRITES TOSTRZOK ABOUT OBAMA -— see Crossfire Hurricane, Russiagate, ClintonEmails ) Page wrote to Strzok on Sept. 2, 2016, about prepping Comey because “potus wants to know everything we’re doing.” According to a newly released Senate report, this text raises questions about Obama’s personal involvement in the Clinton email investigation.

I doubt Durham cares about convicting Sussmann as much as he wants to use the trial to expose bigger targets.
I dob't think you grasp the full situation. The GOP establishment including Jeb Bush and McCain STARTED it, in collusion with MI6 (that's why Robert Hannigan resigned after Trump took over).
After it became apparent Trump's win of the nomination was unstoppable, they handed the dossier project over to Hillary.
The email records don’t support that. Contemporaneous meeting notes and other real evidence show the FBI second-tier guy whose name I forget (something like Bruce?) got the word from his wife who worked at Fusion GPS that this was coming before it was done. Obummer and Byethen may have colluded on the inception, and the FIBbers jumped aboard early.
