Wonder what happened to this guy ....

Joseph Mifsud: Missing Stirling University professor emailed FBI to deny Russian links

A missing professor accused of alerting the Trump campaign to hacked emails containing “dirt” on Hillary Clinton sent a string of denials about his Russian links to the FBI from his Stirling University email account.

EXOPOSED:
Michael Sussman, prominent liberal lawyer who worked for Perkins Coie, was spreading false stories about the Trump Organization and Russians while he represented both Hillary Clinton and the Democratic National Committee.

We already knew from previous evidence that Obama and his administration learned Hillary Clinton and her team was planning to use Russian-authored propaganda against Donald Trump to help her beat him in that election. It was reported that Obama, Comey, and other key players acquired the report from Trump-hating ex-foreign spy Steele and took over the Clinton plan to use the Russian Intel Service authored propaganda against Trump.

According to Durham's indictment against Sussman. Sussman lied under oath to the FBI, telling them he was NOT working for Hillary Clinton and the DNC while he was spreading false Russia-Trump propaganda.


"According to the indictment, Sussmann met with then-FBI General Counsel James A. Baker on that date to pass along allegations that servers at the Trump Organization were connected to servers at Alfa-Bank, a Moscow-based financial institution. During their conversation, Sussmann allegedly told Baker that “he was not acting on behalf of any client, which led the FBI General Counsel to understand that Sussmann was conveying the allegations as a good citizen and not as an advocate”.

“In fact….” the indictment states, “in assembling and conveying these allegations, Sussmann acted on behalf of specific clients,” including the Clinton campaign. [….]

The indictment also claims that Sussmann had “coordinated and communicated” about the Alfa-Bank allegations “during telephone calls and meetings” with an unidentified tech executive who had passed him the purported server data in the summer of 2016 and the Clinton campaign’s general counsel, Marc Elias — then a Perkins Coie partner.

Those calls and meetings, the document alleges, were billed by Sussmann to the Clinton campaign."


The fact that Sussman was working for and doing Hillary Clinton's bidding s no surprise at all.

The fact that Hillary Clinton was behind the initial attempt to falsely accuse Trump, to smear an opponent with propaganda and false information in an attempt to win an election, is not shocking, either. This was not the 1st time she had done this to an opponent.

When Barak Obama came out of nowhere to challenge her for the Presidency the 1st time and quickly began to overtake her in the polls, it was her team that suggested claiming that Obama was not an American citizen, that he had been born in Africa.

7 News Stories from 2008 that PROVE Hillary Started Obama 'Birtherism' - Media is LYING!

The Hillary birther controversy is not going away. It is impossible to overstate the level of hypocrisy emanating from Hillary Clinton when it comes

thepoliticalinsider.com

"2007 - Hillary’s chief strategist, Mark Penn, wrote a now-infamous campaign memo laying out his overall plan to win the election:

“I cannot imagine America electing a president during a time of war who is not at his center fundamentally American in his thinking and in his values.” Penn proposed targeting Obama’s “lack of American roots.”

Again, this only proves that initiating the fake Russia-Trump connection story to smear Trump and win the election was not the 1st / only time the Clintons have engaged in lies, deceit, and smear campaigns.

Now Durham ties Sussmann to the Clintons while indicting him for lying to the FBI about working for the Clintons and the DNC.

That's a lie, but you already knew that.

That's a lie, but you already knew that.

Your first comment I found was on Dec.16th, 2019. Use the “Search” button and put in “Durham” and “easyt65.” Then start counting!

Why are you so ashamed of all your hard work on behalf of Donald Trump and the Durham investigation? Could it be because it took so long, cost so much, is still going on, and … produced so little in the way of prosecutions?

See my comment #8 above.

I'm ashamed of nothing - I called you out on your lie. You found A post - congrats. A you have to do is provide links to all of them to prove your exaggerated numbers.

Why is it so hard for snowflakes to back up the lies they tell?

Oh yeah - because they are LIES.

You have eight pages of comments listed on Durham. Each page contains 30 comments. That is — more or less — 240 comments on the subject.

I didn’t read them, count them carefully, nor do I give a damn about you or your endless blathering about Donald Trump and Senator Durham’s investigation.

Frankly, I never much followed any of the “special” Congressional investigations, or the FBI / Mueller investigation, either. Only a FOOL would expect any of these to be really “fair” or totally free of partisanship.

Your own pro-Trump partisan madness certainly does stand out, however — in verbosity — if not “common sense.”

Nothing is going to happen to these leftist sociopaths. Mark my word.

Correct. There is no law - Only the democrat Reich.

This is a minor indictment.

We were trying to warn you USMB Democrats that someday the truth would come out, that the uppity ups in the Democrat parties were lying their asses off to make you all feel good, and not to improve the content of your characters. That only resulted in you all flinging feces at conservatives in misplaced misanthropy since we supported President Trump and those on his staff who suffered stalking by Maxine Waters' minions. Now they're burning down a lot of Democrat cities and the murder rates in Democrat cities has skyrocketed . Your BLM movement has been protected for a long time for their crimes against human beings must end soon. it' late. Syanara..till tommorrow.

The Durham Investigation has lasted 857 days, 183 days longer than the Mueller investigation

And Trump got a mere 36 days to try to sort out massive election fraud across multiple state lines.

He could have the rest of his life to prove it.

But he knows nothing about it right

This is also a metaphoric indictment of Hillary, the Press, Obama, FBI and DOJ and with a special notice to Schiff.

 

[AMart]

The 26-page indictment of former cybersecurity attorney and Hillary Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann by special counsel John Durham is as detailed as it is damning on the alleged effort to push a false Russia collusion claim before the 2016 presidential campaign. One line, however, seems to reverberate for those of us who have followed this scandal for years now: “You do realize that we will have to expose every trick we have in our bag.”

Durham accuses Sussmann of lying to the general counsel of the FBI in September 2016 when Sussmann delivered documents and data to the FBI supposedly supporting a claim that Russia’s Alpha Bank was used as a direct conduit between former President Trump's campaign and the Kremlin. According to Durham, Sussman told the FBI general counsel that he was not delivering the information on behalf of any client. The indictment not only details multiple billings to the Clinton campaign as the data was collected and the documents created; it claims Sussman billed the campaign for the actual meeting with the FBI. At the time, Perkins Coie attorney Marc Elias was general counsel for the Clinton campaign. Both men have since left the firm.

The big trick in 2016 was the general effort to create a Russia collusion scandal with the help of Justice Department insiders and an eager, enabling media.

It was only last October, for instance, that we learned that then-President Obama was briefed by his CIA director, John Brennan, on an intelligence report that Clinton planned to tie then-candidate Trump to Russia as “a means of distracting the public from her use of a private email server.” That was on July 28, 2016 — three days before the Russia investigation was initiated.

The problem was that both the Steele dossier and the Alpha Bank allegations fell apart soon after being fed to the FBI. A key source for dossier compiler and former British spy Christopher Steele was viewed by American intelligence as a Russian agent, and it was believed that the Clinton campaign and the dossier were being used by Russian intelligence to spread disinformation.

According to Durham, the Alpha Bank allegation fell apart even before Sussmann delivered it to the FBI. The indictment details how an unnamed “tech executive” allegedly used his authority at multiple internet companies to help develop the ridiculous claim. (The executive reportedly later claimed that he was promised a top cyber security job in the Clinton administration). Notably, there were many who expressed misgivings not only within the companies working on the secret project but also among unnamed “university researchers” who repeatedly said the argument was bogus.

The researchers were told they should not be looking for proof but just enough to “give the base of a very useful narrative.” The researchers argued, according to the indictment, that anyone familiar with analyzing internet traffic “would poke several holes” in that narrative, noting that what they saw likely “was not a secret communications channel with Russian Bank-1, but ‘a red herring,’” according to the indictment. “Researcher-1” repeated these doubts, the indictment says, and asked, “How do we plan to defend against the criticism that this is not spoofed traffic we are observing? There is no answer to that. Let’s assume again that they are not smart enough to refute our ‘best case scenario.’ You do realize that we will have to expose every trick we have in our bag to even make a very weak association.”

“Researcher-1” allegedly further warned, “We cannot technically make any claims that would fly public scrutiny. The only thing that drives us at this point is that we just do not like [Trump]. This will not fly in eyes of public scrutiny. Folks, I am afraid we have tunnel vision. Time to regroup?”

Clinton herself discussed the allegations as if they were the product of independent sleuths. Right before the 2016 election, she tweeted, “Computer scientists have apparently uncovered a covert server linking the Trump Organization to a Russian-based bank.”

The indictment details an operation that parallels the notorious Steele dossier, which also featured a pattern of working with FBI insiders while denying connections to the campaign.

The Clinton team denied involvement in the creation of the Steele dossier throughout the 2016 campaign despite direct media inquiries. It was only after the election that mysterious expenses for its legal counsel led reporters to discover the truth. The payments for the dossier were masked as “legal fees” among the $5.6 million paid to the law firm. According to New York Times reporter Ken Vogel, Elias categorically denied involvement in the anti-Trump dossier; when Vogel tried to report the story, he said Elias “pushed back vigorously, saying ‘You (or your sources) are wrong.’” Times reporter Maggie Haberman later wrote that “folks involved in funding this lied about it, and with sanctimony, for a year.”

According to the indictment, Sussman told the truth — and contradicted what he’d originally told the FBI general counsel — when interviewed under oath in December 2017 before the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, telling them he did not hold the meeting of his own volition but at the request of a client.

Notably, another Clinton figure pushing the Alpha Bank conspiracy was Jake Sullivan, who now weighs intelligence reports for President Biden as his national security adviser. Sullivan, a senior policy adviser to Clinton, declared in an official campaign press statement that the Alpha Bank allegation “could be the most direct link yet between Donald Trump and Moscow” and portrayed it as the work of independent experts: “Computer scientists have apparently uncovered a covert server linking the Trump Organization to a Russian-based bank. This secret hotline may be the key to unlocking the mystery of Trump’s ties to Russia. ... This line of communication may help explain Trump’s bizarre adoration of Vladimir Putin.”

So the “very useful narrative” was delivered to the media and the FBI and, along with the dossier, was used to launch the Russia investigation, which led to the appointment of former special counsel Robert Mueller. The “bag of tricks” was supposed to be buried with the involvement of the Clinton campaign — until Trump Attorney General William Barr appointed Durham as a second special counsel.

Durham’s indictment of Sussman seems to have revealed quite a bit about how scandals are manufactured and manipulated in Washington. From CREEP to Clinton, lawyers discovered themselves in legal jeopardy when special prosecutors found them holding a "bag of tricks." A dirty trick in politics can be a thing of beauty for a campaign — until it boomerangs on the tricksters.


Durham’s final report, meanwhile, could answer even more questions, but will Washington ever allow it to see the light of day without massive redactions?

Biden made a HUGE mistake by not firing Durham and terminating his investigation.

Durham is not done and already he has implicated Hillary, Sussmann, his law firm, the experts, companies, a university, reporters....

Of course, especially with Hilary involved, you KNEW there had to be illegal use of classified I formation....and she can't use Cormey's excuse he used fir her last time, that she broke the law but was too stupid to know she was doing it.

Unfortunately the statute of limitation have expired, so the proven criminal, traiterous bitch still won't go to prison....but she will go down in history as one of the most corrupt, most criminal, most treasonous politicians and political influencers in US history.

We reported yesterday word that an indictment might be coming in the Durham investigation and that it would be a person of some significance — 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 wasn’t 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 — saying officially (although we’ve 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 — 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 — that the server in question “was not owned or operated by the Trump Organization, but, rather, had been administered by a mass marketing email company that sent advertisements for Trump’s hotels and hundreds of other clients.”

Then there was this fascinating bit of information in the indictment — that they may have accessed “non-public information” about Trump and coordinated with the Clinton campaign. The “tech executive” 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 there’s 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.

He’s a dead man walking.

All depends on how strong a case he has and what he’s 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 he’ll be set for life when he gets out, he just might survive.

Anything short of that and he’s 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!

The case is the weakest possible case. Durham file charges because the statute of limitations was running out and this was all he had.

Before you try to claim that he was Hillary’s lawyer no he was not. He was a lawyer who worked in the same firm as Hillary’s lawyer, and who had done some minor work on her file.

This is the desperation of Durham to file a charge, any charge, to justify a four year long investigation which is found nothing.
