THREAD with some friendly push back for @HansMahncke Baker is going to make a terrible witness, but for Sussmann. Baker clearly has a friendly relationship with Sussmann and an incentive to "not remember," and the hedging, confusion, etc., is going to hurt Sussmann's argument./1

2/ And I doubt Durham's case relies on Baker's testimony, other than to show Baker is at best forgetful. Rather, Durham's case likely rests on contemporaneous notes taken by someone who spoke w/ Baker RIGHT after--maybe multiple someones, since it appears he passed to Strzok,
3/ and Page. Also, remember, this is Sussmann's attorney's doing PR to promote their client's case: They included only a glimpse of the case that seemingly helps Sussmann. Now, might Durham have brought a week case? Sure, but I doubt it.
4/4 The one thing we do know now, though, is we can't know from Sussmann's filing the stregnth of the evidence Durham has to back up the charge.
