BREAKING: Sussmann's files motion to bar government's expert witness.
2/ (Not on courtlistener yet so no link to share.) Note what they don't say: They don't say that Sussmann didn't know that the experts had concerns or thought it could fool all but DNS experts.
3/ Argument in general:
4/ Interesting point re what evidence Durham might present. Does go to motive.
5/ Sussmann acknowleges it goes to state of mind and intent and also says he has no intent to offer evidence regarding such data.
6/ LOL Durham's expert isn't really and expert because he doesn't understand DNS data...exactly the type of expert Sussmann's gang aimed to trick!
7/ Sussmann again acknowledges if he had reason to doubt the accuracy it would be relevant to his state of mind, but claims "no evidence" he did....which is kinda strange if the reason Sussmann, as an attorney, allegedly hire Fusion, was to help understand and thus advise Clinton
8/ on legal risk re defamation, etc. So, you'd think before publishing it to a third party, he'd ask the source of concerns...unless Fusion wasn't assisting in giving legal advice but instea was just doing straight op-research.
9/ So main legal argument to keep expert out is: 1) irrelevant (yes, unless Sussmann makes an issues); 2) untimely. No set rule on untimeliness & given 6 weeks and speed & no continuences yet, I'd say, no not untimely; 3) expert isn't an expert on DNS (possible basis depending
10/10 what expert is to testify on (but that would only be in response to Sussmann presenting evidence it was accurate); 4) failed to give enough detail on opinion of expert. If I were government, I'd supplement w/ more detail, but not sure how that sorts out.
Continuing re Gov't Notice: This puts Sussmann in corner. If he claims he shared out of national security concern, that implies it is authentic. And then gov't pounces. Not it isn't that it "was" fabricated--but the "possibility." Possible > Plausible amirite? 1/

Missing some Tweet in this thread? You can try to

THREAD: Breaking. Durham files Motion to Compel Clinton Campaign, DNC, and Fusion GPS to produce material w/h based on "attorney-client" privilege.
2/ In sum, Durham wants the documents w/h identified in appendix to be given to court to decide if privilege. (Reading while tweeting so bear with me). First main argument is that Fusion wasn't retained to help w/ legal advise but to get dirt & that isn't protected.
3/ Ohhh, not sure if this was public before but the white paper re Alfa is included as an exhibit.
THREADETTE: Lunch time convo with DS.
DS: Eating quietly.
Me:
DS: "What's that look for?"
Me: "I'm just trying to figure something out."
DS: "What."
Me: "Federal Rule of Evidence 404(b).
DS: "What's that."
Me: "Is a rule about what they can use in SpyGate trial." 1/
2/ DS: "I don't really get SpyGate. Can you give me the Idiots Guide to SpyGate."
Me: "Sure." Explain simplify....
DS: "Why did they think Trump was working w/ Russia.
Me: "B/c a British spy wrote memos that made up that this Russian said Trump did this." expanding.
3/ DS: "So they put that on Trump's computer?"
Me: "No. They just gave it to the FBI & FBI said "ah ha, Trump's working with Russia."
DS: "That stupid. And the FBI believed it?"
Me: "Yup".
THREAD: Lots of filings hit in Sussmann. Check this out. Was this on Baker's phone the OIG didn't share with Durham until someone else mentioned it?
2/ This provides another great example of the big circle hug the Clinton Campaign used, feeding media and FBI same fake story, and then media uses FBI to give story credibility and FBI uses media to give its investigation credibility.
3/ I think this is first time, Durham spoke of the motive here, but that will be key at trial for the jury to "get" it.
LOL So looks like Rod Rosenstein was extremely chatty with a Washington Post reporter...so much so that she forwarded him @MZHemingway guide to reading @washingtonpost articles based on anon sources.
In effort to destroy Trump, Dems/Never Trump/Media/deep state gravely harmed national security. While Hunter Biden is latest example, abuse of FISA court & Sussmann/Joffe & cyber security experts' sham "intel" also did grave damage to our country. @FDRLSTthefederalist.com/2022/04/04/the…
