Clinton Lawyer Indicted

As you know, Special Counsel John Durham just indicted Michael Sussmann for lying to the FBI. Sussmann is a former federal prosecutor and attorney at the high-powered Democrat law firm Perkins Coie. 

 

Perkins Coie was employed by Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign and the Democrat National Committee. It was Perkins Coie that hired Fusion GPS and former British spy Christopher Steele to produce the infamous Trump/Russia dossier. 

 

Durham believes Sussmann lied to then-FBI General Counsel James Baker when he presented Baker with "evidence" that Trump was communicating with Russia via servers at Trump Towers and Alfa Bank, which is connected to Vladimir Putin.

 

Not only was the "evidence" garbage, but Sussmann told Baker he was acting on his own behalf, as an old friend of the Justice Department, disturbed by the possibility that a presidential candidate might be compromised by Russia. 

 

Except Sussmann had ulterior motives. He was acting on behalf of the Clinton campaign, and on behalf of a tech company that hoped to score a major government contract with the future Clinton Administration.

 

It was nothing more than dirty political tricks. They knew the evidence was garbage, but they just wanted the headlines of "FBI Investigates Trump" because Hillary was under investigation for her private email server.

 

I hope this is just the beginning and not the end of indictments from Special Counsel Durham. Too many at the FBI were willing accomplices in this disgusting scheme. 

 

Some legal observers, including former federal prosecutor Andrew McCarthy, suggest that the thoroughness of Durham's indictment indicates he's not done yet. We'll see.
