Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign and its former top officials are intervening in Special Counsel John Durham’s investigation, seeking to block the release of memos about its Russia research on Donald Trump on grounds that it is covered by attorney-client privilege.
The requests were filed late Tuesday by the campaign, its former chairman John Podesta, its former campaign manager Robby Mook and its former law firm Perkins Coie, coming about a month before the start of former campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann’s trial on a charge of lying to the FBI.
“Hillary for America respectfully moves this honorable court to intervene as an interested non party to assert privilege claims over documents and information that the government seeks to compel,” the campaign wrote in its motion.
The motion is designed to block evidence of the campaign's work with former MI6 agent Christopher Steele and the firm Fusion GPS to dig up dirt on Trump alleging Russia collusion, some of which was later shared with the FBI and CIS by Sussmann.
Commentary:
Attorney-Client PRIVILEGE is exactly that, a privilege, not a right.
If it involves illegalities of either or both parties the privilege is revoked.
Progressive Maoist/DSA Democrat Leftist keep telling us we must have total transparency, so that there will not be even the appearance of impropriety. Yet, the attempt to stop the truth of transparency to proceed. While as usual,
the Clintons have other rules and standards. I’m shocked, just shocked.
It seems no matter how well Bleach Bit and the destruction of State Dept. documents were there is still damning exculpatory information available to destroy the Clinton crime family. Criminal conduct negates attorney client privilege
