New Durham filing...
Not looking good for Sussmann's co-conspirators!

It looks like they have the #receipts...

Oh goodie, there is another OIG investigation still ongoing!

Sussmann's emails with FBI from January 2016-June 2016...

226 emails from FBI's holdings involving Rodney Joffe & one of his companies, Packet Forensics?

Typo that is Sussman’s emails to FBI thru June 2017.

Sussmann's lawyers think he was under FBI surveillance...

FBI says they verbally provided the results, under discovery if there was any...

Looks like they were fishing to see if FBI had a FISA on Sussmann...

Sussmann's team also wants to identify who at FBI told the NYTimes that the Russian Collusion allegations against Trump were false. Destroying the planned election eve story Sussmann, Simpson, & Steele had planted at NYT's!
They gave 37 emails to the defense!

This is the story they are fishing for...
Hillary's oppo research team had spent months convincing NYTimes to accuse Trump of collusion & use the AlfaBank FBI investigation as their proof Trump was guilty.
FBI made it blow up in Hillary's face with this!
nytimes.com/2016/11/01/us/…

Fusion GPS & Sussmann had their entire effort to frame Trump, Baker & Comey blow up in their face.
Fusion GPS Russian expert Ed Baumgartner knew who to blame!

Sussmann's defense has focused on Gray Mail, demanding classified information for the defense so DOJ has to choose between harming national security & prosecuting the defendant.
As I mentioned when Sussmann was charged, CIPA was created to prevent this from succeeding.

So DOJ is pushing the FBI & other government agencies to declassify the documents because Sussmann needs them for a fair trial.
Sussmann threatened to throw DOJ in the Briar Patch, & DOJ is dragging all of the agencies into the Briar Patch to declassify the documents!

I wonder what information that Sussmann's lawyers went fishing for in AD Priestap's above Top Secret Counterintelligence notebook!

Seems the lawyers for the witnesses & other subjects of the investigation have made false allegations against Durham & his investigators. And Sussman's lawyers knew to ask for these misconduct allegations against Durham's team.
These normally privileged emails will be handed over

The judge or DOJ may order this to be SOP later...
But DOJ searched for misspellings of Sussmann's name & has turned over 1099 items in FBI files.

In October, Durham's team went to OIG to request additional evidence & documents from the AlfaBank & Crossfire Hurricane investigations to include in the discovery request.
Releasing internal data that would not otherwise become available in any case!

KABOOM!

In addition to his efforts to sway FBI & CIA, Sussmann approached OIG in early 2017.
Claiming one of his clients (Joffe) had observed an OIG Special Agent in Charge using a VPN to communicate with a foreign country.
Were Joffe & Sussman framing them to control OIG cases?

Sussman did approach OIG on behalf of Joffe in March 2017!
Sussman held a meeting with IG Horowitz & his then General Counsel William M. Blier who was General Counsel from 2010-2018.
To tell them about Joffe's 'forensic report' accusing a SAC at OIG of foreign collusion...

Also huge, OIG has been holding James Baker's phones without anyone knowing that. I think that identified Baker as one of the FBI whistleblowers OIG has discussed in the past but not named. Providing hard evidence of Sussmann's efforts against Baker & FBI!

Very curious, due to the burden (DOJ OIG is focused on COVID aid corruption investigations) OIG did not run Durham's requests for discovery on all of the evidence Horowitz's team collected.
Instead, Horowitz asked Durham's team is assist with the searches bypassing OIG people...

FBI Inspection Division (internal affairs) is investigating the agents on the Russia investigations. They have not been handed over to Durham yet, but they expect them to be handed over.
Docs usually not provided in cases either unless a specific agent's misconduct is involved.

Sussmann's team demanded all of Joffe's contracts (mostly classified programs) with the FBI & other agencies. Instead of dropping Sussmann's charges, Durham's team is getting the documents & forcing declassification & review under CIPA.

Either Sussmann is trying to claim he was an anonymous tipster & FBI outed him. Or there is evidence related to other anonymous tips to FBI. Did Sussmann & his team flood the FBI with fake Russian collusion tips to juice the system?

Sussmann's defense claims that there were additional CIA personnel at his Feb. 2017 meeting.
Is he trying to out CIA covert personnel like Valerie Plame?
Or did CIA conceal information from Durham when they investigated the meeting?

So with all the new information, classified information getting declassified, OIG evidence searches, & similar issues, Durham asks for permission to be a little late with a small amount of discovery that is hard to gather information.
Judge will probably approve.
