Breaking: Durham’s indictment of Sussmann reads like a conspiracy indictment, but one significant piece is only hinted at. The indictment describes “purported” DNS lookups and quotes from internal emails sent to and from cyber scientists, including Tech Executive-1 (Joffe) and

Tea Leaves (April Lorenz), suggesting their proof of a secret communication channel between Trump and Alfa Bank was weak. The indictment only hints that underneath it all, the evidence presented by Sussmann to the FBI was bogus. Many in this corner of Twitter, including yours

truly, took this hint from Durham of fabricated evidence and drew several conclusions as to where the investigation is headed. Today, thanks to @codyave , we now have a copy of a RICO suit filed in state court in PA in June 2020, by Alfa Bank against “John Doe” defendants.

This lawsuit, for the first time, describes in detail how unknown persons sent spoofed emails to Alfa Bank from May through Sept 2016, to “manipulate “ essentially “fabricated “ DNS lookups from Alfa Bank servers to the Trump Organization servers under the control of Cendyn.

Here’s the lawsuit: prothonotary.co.lancaster.pa.us/CivilCourt.Pub…

It goes on to describe a second set of lookups in February and March 2017, prompted by another set of spoofed messages to Alfa Bank, sent from a fake domain name that combined Alfa Bank and Trump Org in one address, prompting DNS lookups to both. This second set of manipulated ,

fabricated DNS lookups coincided with Sussmann’s meeting with the CIA and news reports by CNN in February, discussing the back channel communications. The significance of this lawsuit, which has attached expert reports detailing this scheme, is that one can fill in the blanks of

the Sussmann indictment. Now we have the details of evidence that the entire DNS lookup story was deliberately fabricated by some very sophisticated people. Durham likely has proof that it was all a frame up. This suit puts Max and Tea Leaves in the middle of the chain.

Alfa Bank claims Max and Tea Leaves were the scientists who “discovered” the DNS logs, after having been tipped to look for them. It alleges there is another group that actually performed the spoofing and manipulation. The Sussmann indictment does not contradict this theory, but

it still allows for the possibility that Max and Tea Leaves were the original culprits. We’ll have to wait for more shoes to drop. But the information laid out in Alfa Bank’s RICO suit helps fill in some gaps in the Sussmann indictment and is the best evidence we’ve seen that

Durham is likely to be targeting an overall conspiracy to fabricate evidence to be turned over to the FBI and to the media, both during the campaign and during the early days of Trump’s presidency. Anyone want to guess what the CIA’s role was?

P.S. - The cover page of this suit shows it was filed on Sept 7, 2021, not the June 2020 date that appears on the signature page.
