We reported yesterday word that an indictment might be coming in the Durham investigation and that it would be a person of some significance ā Michael Sussman, who worked for Perkins Coie, the firm that represented both Hillary Clinton and the Democratic National Committee.
Now the indictment is in from the federal grand jury. The charge is that he lied to the FBI, telling them that he wasnāt representing the Clinton 2016 campaign when he was spreading the false stories about the Trump Organization and a Russian bank. In other words, the very charge is saying that, yes, he indeed was working for the Clinton campaign in spreading these false stories ā saying officially (although weāve obviously always known it) that the Clinton campaign was behind it. So that declaration is in itself is big.
Durham needed to get the indictment in under the wire because there was a five-year statute of limitations on the charge of making a false statement to federal authorities that was about to run out within three days.
From The NY Post:
That sounds like dead-to-rights to me. And they finally drop the name of Marc Elias. Can we expect to hear more there, as well?
You had stuff like this coming full circle ā Hillary Clinton then using the information that she allegedly paid for against Donald Trump, pushing the myth of Russia collusion.
Sussman then allegedly pressed reporters to write about the Alfa Bank allegation and accused a NY Times reporter of not thoroughly investigating Trump.
The FBI found the Alfa Bank claim was nonsense ā that the server in question āwas not owned or operated by the Trump Organization, but, rather, had been administered by a mass marketing email company that sent advertisements for Trumpās hotels and hundreds of other clients.ā
Then there was this fascinating bit of information in the indictment ā that they may have accessed ānon-public informationā about Trump and coordinated with the Clinton campaign. The ātech executiveā was, according to the indictment, promised a job in the Clinton administration that never came to be.
As was clear from the beginning, the wrong was all on the side of the folks trying to push the Russia collusion hoax. They allegedly did what they were trying to accuse Trump of doing.
What will be interesting is to see what else, if anything, they might have coming, if they are picking off a fish this close to the Clintons.
Jonathan Turley has a great breakdown of some of the connect-the-dot highlights that have already been reported of late:
So thereās a lot there that they could yet pursue with a lot of names in the mix. But this indictment today, I have to admit, I had given up hope that we might ever see something that consequential that really tied the Clinton people into the collusion. So I have to admit to being pleasantly surprised and hopeful that more may yet be in the offing.

And if this is true, Sussman has a choice to make:
Cooperate and beg for protection.
Take the ride and pray he wins.
Heās a dead man walking.
All depends on how strong a case he has and what heās looking at punishment wise. If he falls on the sword with the promise that his family will be taken care of, no harm to any of them, and heāll be set for life when he gets out, he just might survive.
Anything short of that and heās toast.
But again, all depends on the case, just how guilty he really is and who tries it.
BTW, Hildebeast says Sussmann did not kill himself, unlike Epstein!

Computer scientists have apparently uncovered a covert server linking the Trump Organization to a Russian-based bank.
