Thank you Techno Fog for the daily recaps from the trial! I am hoping that Durham can get a conviction, but the deck is stacked against him. Trial location in which the overwhelming majority voted for a Democratic candidate, Democratic appointed Judge, and Jurors that donated to Hillary. It would be nice with everything against him to pull out a conviction right before the elections.
Gene is not wrong, re: CIA torture issue I believe. The fact that the Durham SC is only looking at the private sector and not a single government official has been indicted is not a good sign IMHO.
Enough of this "ban this" person or that person. Not speaking for TF but come on.
Pled out and never went through indictment and trial. Clinesmith, a middling FIB lawyer, gave up.... wait for it... no one. Why did Durham let Clinesmith off the hook? Who believes that Clinesmith alone acted to "fortify" a FISA warrant application and claim Carter Page, an actual American hero was a enemy of the US working for the Russians?
Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
Clinesmith didn't serve a single day in jail for getting the first of a series of FISA warrants to spy on Carter Page and under the rule, two hops so FIB could spy on the entirety of the Trump campaign.
For this terrible crime, Clinesmith suffered nothing but the temporary loss (less than a year) of his law license. He's probably on the payroll of Marc Elias' law firm or similar now.
he was appointed by Clinton (Boston FBI/Whitey Bulger) and Obama(Torture); never by Bush. He was otherwise just a "career prosecutor" and not a political hack.
According to a piece at Jonathan Turley's website this morning, Baker was asked about his being VERY LATE in turning over the text message in which Sussman lied in writing, where Sussman said that he wasn't representing a client when coming to the FBI (although he billed Hillary for the meeting --- LOL), and Baker's response was;
“It’s frankly — I’m not out to get Michael and this is not my investigation. This is your investigation.”
He should be disbarred and investigated and prosecuted just based on that answer alone. He had been lead counsel for the FBI when the incident occurred, AND he's an officer of the court. He was in possession of material evidence and intentionally played a game with the special counsel AND Congress (back when he testified about these matters) by withholding material evidence.
Baker's avowed notion that criminal investigation and prosecution is based upon being "out to get" someone, as opposed to be a matter of enforcement of the law, is an admission of his own corrupt mentality. But instead of getting disbarred, these are the types of people that the Bar Association seems to PREFER practice law in America.
Baker is a bigtime criminal. He went to Twitter after the DoJ. Lead Counsel at Twitter, i think, which is where he helped to provide cover for the Deep State via massive censorship.
Baker has also worked at the corrupt democrat think tank, The Brookings Institute, which is where one of Durham's other prosecution targets, Igor Danchenko, worked. And he's also a good friend of James Comey and the guy that heads the Lawfare group, Benjamin Wittes, who came up with the "insurance policy" idea that Peter Strzok talked about, concerning the Russia-Collusion Hoax being an insurance policy in case Trump won the election, as articulated in his October 24, 2016, article at the Lawfare website titled "A Coalition of All Democratic Forces, Part III: What if Trump Wins?"
In short, Baker is deep into deep corruption along with all of the others that planned and executed the Russia-Collusion Hoax. But notwithstanding Baker's role as a co-conspirator, Sussman's lie to him is still a crime, because it was a lie to the FBI as an institution, regardless of how corrupt the people in charge of the FBI were at the time.
At this point, all I’m doing is praying. Up is Down, Right is Left & everything stinks of corruption. I’m really hoping Durham isn’t compromised.??????
According to a report at the Fox website this evening (take that for what it's worth), Sussman's lawyer asked Marc Elias (Sussman's previous associate at Perkins Coie) "whether Sussmann went to the FBI in September 2016 with data alleging a covert communications channel between Donald Trump and Russia’s Alfa Bank on behalf of the Hillary Clinton campaign" and Elias answered, "I think you’d have to ask Mr. Sussmann."
Based upon that exchange between Sussman's lawyer and Sussman's former associate, Sussman's lawyer is asking (or going to ask) for a mistrial.
LOL LOL LOL
Wouldn't THAT be a neat trick, if a defendant's lawyer could ask a defendant's associate a question and use that to get a mistrial?
Apparently Judge Cooper wasn't impressed, and responded, "I am not inclined to grant a mistrial."
I wonder if the court reporter included courtroom laughter in the transcript.
No, you have nothing, Gene. This is not the CNN or MSNBC - DNC Russia Collusion Hoax page or the NY State AG "we will find some tax loophole about tuition reimbursement violations" to indict President Trump.
Got any subscribers for your "newsletter" Gene? It must be difficult to get your fellow mental patients to read whatever dreck you serve up. How do you manage to write anything with your lips surgically attached to Hillary's flabby, wrinkled, lesbian fisted ass anyway?
Curious as to why Fine’s testimony was not more in-depth ! Especially having a direct link to the campaign and been given immunity ! Thanks Fog for your update !
What I am openly wondering now: This case is about a single false statement on Sept 19, 2016. The indictment indicates Sussmann billed his meeting with Jim Baker to the Clinton campaign. But so far, prosecutors have not presented billing records from this date. Why?
If Sarah Lynch missed this, then you can bet the DC jury missed it.
Why do I even bother to follow this trial? It's like the impulse to watch a train wreck and just as useless. This trial is just another cover up by the Barr/Durham Paint and Body shop. None of the FBI/DOJ conspirators will ever be brought to justice and the likelihood that Sussman or any other outside actors will get convicted by a DC jury of Demo-drones is quite remote. Even in the unlikely event that Sussman gets convicted he will get the Kevin Clinesmith slap on the wrist and be back mal-practicing the law in short order, as if nothing ever happened.
You can shove your substack post back up into your backside brain compartment where the sun don't shine. And tell all your friends at Langley to have fun burning in the fires of hell for all eternity. Also, be patient...Durham will find his way to you in due time! lol
The prosecution is definitely losing the argument so far on materiality with Hellman stating he would have performed the same steps regardless of knowing source or not. He would have just put it into the report.
More interesting is that there are no FBI NSD witnesses for Durham on this issue. The Joffe data went to them as well, and they would have analyzed it. I believe Durham could care less about this indictment other than to firmly establish a much larger connection.
Second note. Joffe removed as CHS in 2021, supposedly for not following proper FBI CHS protocol for Alfa data. 5 years later and Durham caused this?
"Jake Sullivan’s wife is Margaret Goodlander - who serves as counsel to Attorney General Merrick Garland"
... are you kidding me? ... the Swamp is vast, and deep, and it stinks.
Lots of political incest...Judge Chris Cooper is married to Lisa Page's attorney

Yes, I saw that too ... UNREAL is right.
I bet you cannot find out who Margaret's mother is.
It's so thick, even the swamp creatures are starting to choke

I’m underwhelmed by the prosecution
Don't expect any Perry Mason moments. This is the government lawyers.
Techno, ban this fool.

Clinesmith was indicted.
Pled out and never went through indictment and trial. Clinesmith, a middling FIB lawyer, gave up.... wait for it... no one. Why did Durham let Clinesmith off the hook? Who believes that Clinesmith alone acted to "fortify" a FISA warrant application and claim Carter Page, an actual American hero was a enemy of the US working for the Russians?

It was the judge that let him off, not the SC. The SC pushed for hard time.
Some have hypothesized that Clinesmith is cooperating. But where's the beef? When will Team Durham bring out heavy artillery?
We learned yesterday on Day One FBI employees knew the Trump - Alpha connection was crazy ('5150'). So everything that followed was an elaborate ruse.
Clinesmith
Danchenko
Georgia Tech researchers
Joffe
Where's the beef?
he was appointed by Clinton (Boston FBI/Whitey Bulger) and Obama(Torture); never by Bush. He was otherwise just a "career prosecutor" and not a political hack.
amazing how they impeached Trump twice within a couple years...for crimes committed by Hillary, Biden, Obama and various Democrats in Government!
My confidence in someone being found guilty is dwindling, if no one is found guilty this is the end and they all go free. Hillary once again wins.
sadly it is clear the DOJ is 100% corrupt along with the FBI, and pretty much all DC!

Me too; I really think there's nothing better to do. There's always something to do, write, or say; but prayer...💥

It's all going to heat up once Sussmann's text to Baker is introduced into evidence.
Got introduced this afternoon. Waiting on transcript to provide update… 🙏
LOL....Gene you work at Fusion GPS...or are you a foreign spy working the Conspiracy with the DNC?
Probably Lisa Page's boyfriend.
Come on man. Carry water for Hillary if you must, but don't trash your credibility by being absurdly redundant.
A little touchy at being called out huh? What's you're going rate for trolling? Liz Cheney is irrelevant and on her way out.
Do you do Broadway too? It's all the rave in misinformation operations.
No, you have nothing, Gene. This is not the CNN or MSNBC - DNC Russia Collusion Hoax page or the NY State AG "we will find some tax loophole about tuition reimbursement violations" to indict President Trump.
You have nothing. Nada, nunca. Have a nice day.
G,
Cultured language is an adult skill set.
Report it to your non-existent readers. Here you're just an insane and potty-mouthed emetic.
You are a LIAR. Go fly a kite in Hades.
You lost it last time. You have no credibility anymore if you even had it at all.
Here Kitty Kitty Kitty...
Got any subscribers for your "newsletter" Gene? It must be difficult to get your fellow mental patients to read whatever dreck you serve up. How do you manage to write anything with your lips surgically attached to Hillary's flabby, wrinkled, lesbian fisted ass anyway?
You are a LIAR. Go fly a kite in Hades.
so a conspiracy to over throw an election working with foreign spies....isn't a crime? Why isn't EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THESE PEOPLE on Trial?
why isnt this a treason trial?
Curious as to why Fine’s testimony was not more in-depth ! Especially having a direct link to the campaign and been given immunity ! Thanks Fog for your update !
