Look closer at Durham's indictment of Michael Sussmann -
There lurks potential charges against the Alfa Bank research group for using classified gov't data for their own political operation.
Durham sets the background by discussing a gov't contract where the researchers would receive classified data -
"in order to identify the perpetrators of malicious cyber-attacks and protect U.S. national security."
Durham continues -
the researchers "exploited" this data - which was provided to enable them to "protect U.S. networks" - to conduct their own political research.
Once you understand what they were looking at -
This then becomes a question of the criminal culpability for the misuse and dissemination of classified data.
