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.

With more Americans discovering fraud of corrupt media re Russia collusion hoax, I'm pausing for "victory tour," best encapsulated with this article I wrote for @FDRLSTthefederalist.com/2018/08/02/ins… August 2, 2018. To repeat: 2018. I'm very proud of this piece for 2 reasons. 1/
2/ In this article, by delving into original source documents I revealed one of major omissions in FISA warrant applications for @carterwpage MORE THAN A YEAR before IG confirmed that major omission. I did that even with heavily redacted FISA applications to work from.
3/ But equally important in that article, I discarded one theory re players/plots being used to set up Trump, when on surface it looked like the translator for Trump Tower meeting was part of the hoax. It would have been easy to have succumb to confirmation bias.
THEADETEE: So other than @MZHemingway who literally wrote a book on it, I think I'm the only reporter who has done a real deep dive on election intergrity issues in multiple states involving interviews & analysis of original source documents. WI, PA, AZ, and GA. 1/
THREAD: Delaware County, PA lawsuit has many more details beyond the whistleblower videos I posted last night. Posting several excerpts until complaint is live.
2/ Here are the videos from last night, to refresh your recollection.
