My initial thoughts after reading the NY Times article is this is a charge is being sought to run cover for Marc Elias of Perkins Coie and former FBI attorney James A. Baker ... who now runs Twitter's legal dept if things weren't already Orwellian enough. Michael Sussmann 'bamboozled' them.
Just my view as a non-American, but if Elias & Sussman and others at Perkins Coie essentially allowed the firm to be used as a DNC & Clinton Campaign information laundering outfit, I would imagine that Sussman and Elias are both in very hot water.
I highly doubt the indictment is just about Sussman lying to the FBI.
Remember all we know about this is from a NYT Times article, presumably leaked from Biden's DOJ. As the reporters at the NYT are caught up in the scandal, it's in their interests to portray the indictment in the least damaging terms possible.
Perkins Coie appears to be right in the middle of the entire scandal. It is connected to all the different components (DNC, Clinton campaign, FBI, DOJ, Crowdstrike, Fusion GPS, dodgy reporters) of the RussiaGate crime, as well as the so-called DNC hack.
Just my take, but I think Durham knows where the bullseye is and he is about to/already has hit it. He has taken his time to amass red hot evidence, but the key will be using it in a way that causes maximum impact.
Oh my God! I wonder if this is the same Michael Sussman who sued me on the behalf of someone I had never heard of in the state of New York. I live in Houston Texas. He got some New York judge to Grant a judgment and get my bank account tied up. Fortunately, my lawyer got a Texas judge to reverse that. If this is the same Michael Sussman, this guy is a low-life, scumbag.
matt taibbi coined the term 'bomb-holing' to name a pathway the media's and government's corruption goes unaddressed: just move on to the next crisis w/o reckoning that the last 'crisis' was complete nonsense. outside of the spotlight of the public's focus - its just a return to business as usual instead of being held accountable for wrongdoing.
i have to cynically agree with other posters here. this has gone on too long and durham seems to be an inside guy who will never hold those culpable accountable. horowitz's 17 errors & omissions, the larry nassar gymnasts affair, fake gov whitman plot, crossfire hurricane - what will it take for the citizens of this country to say enough is enough with the fbi and just disband it?
So, they’re saying Sussman brought in CrowdStrike but wasn’t CrowdStrike already providing services to the DNC? What exactly did they «bring in» CrowdStrike to do? Concoct a Cozy Bear Russian spy narrative and ship the evidence to the Ukraine?
At best, this is a charade - designed to placate the right, and to prop up glue together the illusion of integrity. The evidence is irrelevant, and much of it has intentionally been overlooked. He's a leftist, therefore he will escape justice. Bet the farm.
After all this time and speculation, that's it?! What BS!
Every major USG institution is hopelessly corrupt. DC needs to be shut down for 5 years and things devolve back to States. Then a new Capital can be made but in a new city - like more centrally located Kansas. When are those in favor of a constitutional republic going to wake up and realise that the system is hopelessly broken and insist on a reboot?
It is reasonable to suspect these crimes were not solely executed by one “maverick” and without the knowledge of high level Clinton campaign officials, including Hillary herself. Her behavior and responses to public questions at the time, the unofficial purging of “private” emails by State Department officials, the entire Clinton Foundation funded shadow apparatus, and her felonious handling of information categorized as “secret” form a pattern that indicates many others were in on the “win at all costs” campaign. Also, scurrilousness is her trademark when she is backed into a corner, and this one attorney was a good soldier to his Queen.
This is a head fake. Baker is already convicted of faking a document to make Carter Page look guilty of colluding with Russians. Now we are to rely on his "memory" of a statement during a conversation over 5 years ago,?? Are there any written notes or reports., Is there some independant evidence of this conversation? Is Sussman just being squeezed in a desperate attempt to "get something, anything" to justify his years of investigation. This circular firing squad of investigations is coming to a pretty sorry end. After all the fireworks and political posturing the powers that be have gotten what they wanted in crippling Trump and now it is time to fold the circus tents and move on. The actors and political operatives got what they wanted and the Deep Staters are all crawling back under their rocks without anyone of consequence being exposed or jailed. Chalk up another win for the D.C. pond scum.

Let's see what happens.

It’s about time!
Yeah, some obscure lawyer nobody's ever heard of while the traitors are laughing over champagne paid for by the tax payers.
This is just the deep state slapping us in the face and laughing.

Today's news is so outdated, Durham might as well announce new bootlegging charges against Al Capone.
