THREAD BREAKING: Sussmann's attorney's aren't happy with Durham. Filed today.
2/ Just posting pages here and then will comment:
3/ continued:
4/ Now this is interesting. So if none of the data was after Trump was president, why was it provided to show Trump was using a Russian phone? Because Trump was at the Executive Office? This footnote makes no sense.
5/ Oh, poor Sussmann. You spread lies about Trump for 5 years and now Trump exposes you...🎻🎻
6/ I don't think this tack, however, is the wisest...."Oh, we didn't charge you with conspiracy, did we..."
7/ OMgosh...so the campaign is claiming Sussmann did not go to FBI on behalf of Hillary Clinton campaign. Now, this is getting good.
8/ It wouldn't surprise me if the court is inclined to grant the motion and caution Durham not to file additional detail. Although the Durham will have a chance to respond to the Motion to Strike, which should be interesting.
9/9 The biggest take-away, however is this: The press has starting covering this in a way it hasn't before and that is huge! Sussmann's chronies had no issue leaking to the NYT in September re the EOP, but now that they can't control the narrative, Shut. It. Down.
Post-Twit: I must admit I'm bummed they didn't single out my two articles in their motion, but then again, they were so solid & devasting they likely didn't want to bring any more attention to them.
Post-Twit 2: Also, from strategy angle, this wasn't wise b/c now the press is going to cover it MORE. Had Sussmann stayed silent, it would have likely died down in a day. UNLESS he succeeds in getting court to tell Durham to cut it out.
Post-Twit 3: Okay I should have just waited until I knew I was done. From the indictment. So here's Sussmann's defense. Sussmann's attorne to Clinton Campaign Person: Did you tell Sussmann to go to FBI w/ this info.
Answer: No. Closing: "He may have defrauded the campaign
PT4: but he didn't lie to Baker.
Durham's Cross: Did you authorize Sussmann to go to the press with this story? Did you authorize Sussman to do X, Y, Z. This defense is going to open up a huge can of worms for Clinton Campaign!

2/ Trump Admin. prior comments indicated they would secure Strait of Hormuz & possibly take over Kharg Island to get oil moving. Last night, Trump indicated we will lead efforts to open Strait but those impacted need to join fight. Now, this may be misdirection to attack Kharg,
3/ Or Trump decided, we're not going to risk Americans' lives to do either if those in need of that oil won't step up. But we will continue the much safer bombing which will eventually (which he suggested may be about 3 weeks), lead to Strait opening b/c Iran is on last legs
4/ of weapons & leaders. Trump may well have thought Iran would be Venezuela & he'd be done within days or a few weeks, but he's making clear we will continue bombing until morale improves. He's betting on short-term pain being greatly overset by Iran's full destruction.
🚨🚨🚨BREAKING: @realDailyWire and @FDRLST scored a victory in their lawsuit against the State Department, filing today a Joint Motion for Entry of a Consent Decree. I was thrilled to lead this litigation with the @NCLAlegal team! 1/
3/ Un.Frickin.Real. Judge orders Trump Administration to fly folks with no right to be in America, to America. If they had a right to be here, they could go to the embassy and get a visa to enter.
The press (legacy and new) and the investing public seem to have no idea what the Obama Administration launched in the Consolidated Audit Trail and what current SEC is currently doing--computer searches of OUR private data without any basis! @NCLAlegal 1/
2/ I'm frankly shocked that more civil libertarians aren't screaming about this! And now SEC is trying to delay Plaintiffs' day in court! Details here: nclalegal.org/feds-are-steal…
