Durham wanted to show the jury more emails that showed this but the judge declined because it really has nothing to do with the charge against sussman
But the Defense was going to call a Nytimes reporter. The judge asked the defense what they were going to ask him...
Durhams team said well if they ask him that then we can ask him about these Fusion GPS e-mails. Durhams team said they would help prove the case....the judge implied that he agrees that those e-mails could be discussed if the defense does that route
The defense then said never mind we won’t call the NYtimes reporter after all
The FBI wasn’t deceived. They were in on it.
The FBI was complicit, not deceived.
FIB me once, shame on you. FIB me twice, shame in me.
Time to call in Henry Bowman.
Ric Grenell: FBI wasn't 'duped' by Hillary-linked lawyer indicted in Durham probe September 17, 2021
Sussman will walk. This leftist judge allowed too many democrat ringers on the jury.
“Baker also testified that because Sussmann had claimed to be coming on his own behalf, Baker treated Sussmann as a confidential source and kept Sussmann’s identity secret from other agents. As a result, agents investigating the supposed Trump-Alfa Bank network were kept in the dark concerning Sussmann’s role in bringing the data to the FBI. Consequentially, agents were also left unaware of Joffe’s role in procuring the data and whitepapers.”
Having been Special Assistant, DoJ Criminal Division, and Senior Counsel, DoJ Criminal Division, Sussmann KNEW his former colleague would have to treat him as a “confidential source”, thus hiding the corrupt source of the “whitepaper” and concocted files from FBI investigators.
“Lying to the FBI” (Baker), was not some minor inadvertent slip. It was essential to the success of his entire scheme. No honest juror could find Sussmann Not Guilty.
