    But here, Durham says Sussmann's claimed lie was material bc if he hadn't lied they would have learned things that were, in one case, public, and in the others, not illegal nor relevant to their ultimate determination.

    Anyway, just by way of comparison, Flynn's lies were material because they hid the fact that Flynn had consulted with Mar-a-Lago before calling Sergy Kislyak and undermining sanctions. It took FBI 7 months to even begin figuring that out.

    Okay, one of the things that I love love love about this indictment is it conflicts wildly with what the Alfa Bank oligarchs have been arguing for years, to which all the VERY SAME PEOPLE have been clinging like marsupials.

    So Durham's argument is that, IF the FBI knew that the origin of this was Sussman or Tech Exec or Hillary (which it wasn't), they would have learned non-illegal aspects of the research, some of which were public in real time, but that wouldn't have affected their investigation.

    I mean, some of this is going to be comedy gold at trial. Here's my favorite part though. Durham states that this was an inconclusive investigation. That is, it was NOT a goose chase. It was something weird that they couldn't prove anything with. That's FBI's job!!

    But as Durham admits ... oh, 10 paragraphs later ... the origin has nothing at all to do with Sussman. It has to do with Tea Leaves. I've got my own problems with Tea Leaves. But he is neither Tech Exec nor Hillary Clinton. And so the entire thing crumbles.

    The materiality argument purports to be, "if the FBI had known where this came from it might have learned stuff that was not illegal." BUT!!!

    This is one of the most important paragraphs in the indictment. It's the materiality argument (nevermind the new standard of materiality that Billy Barr adopted in his failed attempt to overturn the prosecution of Mikey Flynn, which I'm sure will be raised).

    Note that Durham doesn't allege Tech Expert paid Sussmann to frame Donald Trump?

    I mean, Durham can't even decide which "client," singular, Sussman was working with, which shows that EVEN HE doesn't make all that much out of Sussmann's billables.

    Also, remember when Republicans believed that even after you cued someone of what they said they couldn't be charged with 1001? In fact, it was the institutional position of Billy Barr's DOJ.

    Let me interject here with two comments. 1) I noted, as did others, IN 2016, that someone shouldn't have accessed this data. FBI had to have noted too. 2) The real problems with this indictment were not what I thought would blow up in Durham's face.

    Now John Durham has Sussman dead to rights telling the truth to Congress. Scathing.

    The second thing in the AD's notes are that Sussmann represents the Dems. However was James Baker to know?

    Wow. John Durham found Democrats wanted to tell a "true story." Scathing.

    BREAKING!!! This is news to Chucky!?!? This ... was reported in 2016. Publicly, like.

    New and interesting information in the Sussmann indictment. His tech executive client allegedly accessed non-public info about Trump, and they coordinated all of this with agents of the Clinton campaign. Are the walls closing in?

    When you hire a bunch of conspiracy-addled nuts to do a fake 'audit' for you, and they *still* don't find the fraud you wanted them to invent, so you resort to threatening them.

    Arizona Senate President Karen Fann on Wednesday directed the CEO of Cyber Ninjas to turn over all communications related to the audit.

    Shorter Kathryn Rakoczy: The reason it is so hard understanding the audio from BWC is bc Joshua James was screaming his head off three feet away.

    James' lawyer says she hasn't gotten the phone exploitation of unnamed co-conspirators, meaning Stewie. [There seem to be details from Stewie in the most recent indictment.]
