Move over Cleetuses, we now have a new class of idiots. I designate cbow as the 1st Scarecrow! (brains of straw)
He is arguing that Sussmann's attorneys need security clearances under the Classified Information Procedures Act to see nonclassifed info.
Here you go Cbow, lets see if there are any words in that sentence too long for you to understand!
And what did Sussmann's lawyers do yesterday Cbow?
Graymail, by filing with the court a demand for a Bill of Particulars to force the DOJ to expose classified information & the identities of witnesses who have testified! documentcloud.org/documents/2107…
Before you come back Cbow, you should read up on the current Executive Order governing Classified Information. I'm not sure if there is a version in really small words! en.wikisource.org/wiki/Executive…

Durham's indictment of Sussmann has accomplished something very important.
He has exonerated @Comey's FBI's Chief Legal Counsel James Baker @thejimbaker of illegally leaking classified information to the media and revealed another key battle in #Spygate.
@ButNothingsHappening
So what was Spygate?
Federal contractors illegally accessing NSA data to investigate Trump for Hillary Clinton's campaign. Then using it to trick the FBI into investigating Trump.
The ultimate goal? An excuse to remove honest leaders from FBI & DOJ who investigated Hillary!
They never thought Trump would win in 2016, this was about predicating the firing of FBI Director Comey & others at FBI.
Hillary needed an excuse to hide that she was firing Comey for investigating her, how better than firing Comey for investigating Trump!
The Swamp creatures always get their narrative out first to NYT's before the real news is released.
Claiming foreign intel agencies flipped CIA sources & fed us disinformation. Killing sources that didn't flip too... web.archive.org/web/2021100516…
CIA sent a secret memo to all it's station revealing the agency has been investigating dozens of cases of recruited informants being killed, captured or compromised to feed the CIA false information.
The need to leak this one is clear to spin CIA as the victim..
In Russia, China & other locations, foreign intel have been hunting down our sources to turn them into double agents.
Claiming that some at CIA put their 'mission' ahead of security that would protect their sources. Sources that were soon feeding them disinformation...
So who are the attorney's that Michael Sussmann has gathered for his defense team?
3 have filed appearances with the court.
Natalie Hardwick Rao, Michael Bosworth, & Sean Berkowitz all from the firm Latham & Watkins courtlistener.com/docket/6039058…
Natalie Hardwick Rao started with the CIA for 2 years as a military analyst after graduating from Duke University. Then attended law school & has been an Associate with L&W since 2010.
Michael Bosworth joined Latham & Watkins as a Partner in July 2020.
Clerked for a Federal District Judge, Appeals Court Judge & a Supreme Court Justice. Also spent a lot of time at SDNY with DOJ.
It is important to note that there is a wide range of non-compliance. I did threads on it at the time, only 4 of the 209 errors found were deemed material. IIRC all in the @CarterWPage FISA. Others were simple errors or lazy habit.
I recall many of those non-compliant Woods references were for doing things such as putting the name & reference to the confirming fact like a footnote in a paper. But not printing the original document and adding it to the Woods File.
I didn't know that there was a LODESTAR method of calculating attorney's fees in Class Action Settlements...
These cases are a huge shakedown industry. Where investigators dig in SEC filings & other reporting, then sue companies for false statements & activities affecting stocks.
What are the odds that I would trip over that information while reading a settlement between the Indiana Public Retirement System (Swampy pension funds) and Neustar agreeming to pay a settlement after the case was dismissed but before an appeal was heard. courtlistener.com/docket/5234124…
Did Neustar settle to avoid discovery of its actions to retain the FCC contract?
Was the suit filed to gain leverage over Neustar?
Why was Gov. Mike Pence's Public Retirement System selected as the lead plaintiff?
Was it just a shakedown for cash?
Or did they want something more?
I guess @JustinTrudeau efforts to block the prosecution of SNC-Lavalin have not been successful.
This is a local case, so can’t be spun as Canadians needing to pay bribes overseas to protect Canadian jobs. #ButNothingsHappening
@JustinTrudeau After Trudeau was caught firing his Attorney General for refusing orders to obstruct the prosecution of SNC-Lavalin, they were forced to plead guilty for paying bribes to the Khadaffi’s.
@JustinTrudeau Algeria’s President of 20 years was forced to resign over corrupt infrastructure deals including deals with SNC-Lavalin. #CorruptionIsInfrastructure.
