It was a long day of travel but we’re back at it on the Sussmann trial. This morning started with testimony from Bill Priestap, who in September 2016 was the FBI’s Assistant Director of Counterintelligence. His testimony was expected, even before the witness lists were put out. Back in January, we observed that
Durham needs to question Priestap about his being in London in 2016 at the same time love birds, Strzok and Page were there. Why were they in London? What was their connection and or association with the head of the CIA’s London field office, Gena Haspel. Would their being in London have to do with Mifsud?
Techno Fog, I can’t thank you enough for your devotion and dedication to getting the truth out.
Great summaries. The fact that this trial is barely registering in the same outlets that spent years pushing every Russiagate rumor and innuendo they came across tells us all we need to know about their motivations and integrity.
We're happy you made it back from your trip. Thank you as always for keeping us informed. It seems reasonable people tried to quash the effort but the 'sources' just kept on trying to push it and the FBI big shots wanted to keep it alive.
What a fine 7th floor operation we have here. Counterintelligence not looking so intelligent, Hurricane already underway with the Halper blimp operating far outside the US trying to further setup Americans with their names appearing on the Trump campaign.
Can this little RICO begin and end with Sussmann, and his law firm? Hi, Marc Elias.
Only people actually doing their job was the Chicago Field Office.
Everyone on the 7th floor is Interfering with the 2016 election and worse!
We have found the Russians! James “Cardinal” Comey.
Techno, so glad you returned home safely, thanks for all you hard work! I have doubts about the jury being able to comprehend what all is going on therefore causing them to vote as a Hillary biased juror.
I knew it! So it was the Chicago office that looked at the data and said it was bunk. When they enquire to discuss with the source, top brass nix that opportunity. All of these people (fbi heads) should be in prison. Including Mueller!

"The Sleuths Corner" group - kingmaker, Undead FOIA, McCabe's Porsche on Blocks, FOOL NELSON, etc. - were despondent tonight regarding Team Durham's legal performance.
The experienced lawyers in the group felt the Durham prosecutors weren't seasoned trial lawyers, and made too many simple mistakes. Some felt they were unprepared.
One example was starting w the wrong witness - the opening witness was a DNS expert that essentially had no context, and put everyone to sleep. Not explaining upfront what Crossfire Hurricane was, and not identifying key pieces of evidence (which Sussman's lawyers would then do). They felt this trial had gone too long for a one charge indictment; the trial attorneys needed an old hand (advisor); and Durham was understaffed / underfunded at say 5% of Weismann (Muellers) budget. And the FBI was let off the hook.
Old sage experienced hand!!? What the heck is Durham!? Why did John Durham allow a boring DNS expert to be the opening witness? I thought Defillipis was experienced? They also felt Priestap came off as dumb (or is this evasive like Comey & Mueller)?
They did say the Danchenko case seemed more well managed (but they're not in court yet), and someone hypothesized they were 'going through the motions' on this one as it's in DC (OJ jury, my term). Others hypothesized the AG could shut Durham down after this trial.
FusionGPS and Joffe apparently not cooperating, possibly future indictments. Still frustrated that SC attorneys 'unprepared' after 3-4 years.
"Priestap approved the opening of Crossfire Hurricane and decided against defensive briefings being provided to the Trump Campaign. He was Peter Strzok’s supervisor and also approved the use of all the confidential human sources used against the Trump campaign (Stefan Halper, et al.)."
Is there any evidence that Priestap tasked Halper?
Many of today’s MSM reporters seem incredibly shallow and unaware of history. To be honest the commentary on the trial, either here or in summary at Mark Wauck’s site, is incredibly complicated to fully grasp the subtleties (or not so subtle), even for someone that has been following it for a long time. Kudos to Devin Nunes and Kash Patel to unravel this early on. The complicated trail here is clear evidence to me that this government (in particular) and the administrative state are completely out of control and do whatever they damn well like. Of course we kind of thought that in the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s etc. according to novels. But now we see it so clearly in reality that it is really amazing (lacking a better superlative). If a republican wins in 2024 (Trump or DeSantis overthrowing the Uniparty) they better bring their own complete team and a heavy axe to the government functionaries that exist and legislation to chop this all off. Otherwise we will see this all repeat soon.
Could you add a graphic of cool shades dropping down onto Durham's face in that picture? Might help the kids figure out who the only rad dude in this whole mess is. (If they can break away from the much more important Amber Heard/Johny Depp defamation case to look at this one.)

A big Thank You, Techno Fog for covering this ❤️🇺🇸🦅

Great work plowing through TF! Thank you. 👏

thx Techno-I appreciate the time and effort that goes into all of your work.
Offcourse they are fired up at a story they themselves have invented, their plan was working and they had the idea the coup was well underway.
Offcourse the where fired up. The fact they KNEW it was fake doesn't matter. As it was part of a coup.
I knew it! So it was the Chicago office that looked at the data and said it was bunk. When they enquire to discuss with the source, top brass nix that opportunity. All of these people (fbi heads) should be in prison. Including Mueller!
Technofog lifts the fog. Outstanding work!
"whom we strongly suspect is Rodney Joffe - lied. This would be why he was terminated as a CHS."
Joffe was canned as CHS in 2021. If they believe he lied to the Chicago office in 2016, why so long to remove him?

Great article, thank you.
One question:
"Priestap approved the opening of Crossfire Hurricane and decided against defensive briefings being provided to the Trump Campaign. He was Peter Strzok’s supervisor and also approved the use of all the confidential human sources used against the Trump campaign (Stefan Halper, et al.)."
Is there any evidence that Priestap tasked Halper?
Thank You for the cogent dive, Techno Fog!🙏
I always search for the “Esoteric Truth” - the Esoteric Truth (for me) Always reveals Intention and Intention is Always an Active Verb!
