Durham's a genius!

He got Hillary for America, DNC, Perkins Coie, Fusion GPS, & Rodney Joffe to claim attorney client privilege. 'Forcing' Durham to file FEC rulings documenting the payments to Fusion GPS were illegal under election laws!

#ButNothingsHappening
Durham officially notifying he judge that while they are all claiming this is legal consulting, the DNC & HFA agreed to pay fines for improperly reporting the money sent to Fusion GPS by claiming it was for "legal & compliance reporting".
Had they realized that Durham was going to try & pierce attorney client privilege, it is very likely that they would not have agreed to the FEC settlement in December & signed it in February!
A partner from Perkins Coie even represented both HFA & the DNC in accepting these fines from FEC!
The FEC investigator's provided probable cause to the FEC General Counsel to move forward, but the FEC is designed to protect the politicians & needs major reform.
But that resulted in fines the Hillary Campaign agreed to pay in order to end the case!
courtlistener.com/docket/6039058…
DNC & HFA tried to use attorney client privilege against the FEC's subpoenas too. But FEC investigators & lawyers still found plenty of evidence that the work was not "legal services? or "legal & compliance consulting"
The key point is that none of this is directly relevant to Sussmann's charge for lying to the FBI.
But the assertion of privilege to prevent testimony & emails that would show Sussmann's motive to hide his clients 'forces' Durham to introduce this information to the judge.
But invoices are generally not protected by ACP, so FEC found out that DNC & HFA were billed for "Russia Research" & "Russian language researcher.”

Hello Nellie Ohr!
Durham then names not only Nellie Ohr as a sub vendor, but identified Graham Stack (new name to me), Edward Austin Limited & Orbis which is Chris Steele's company.
Now I remember who Stack was...

The footnotes are always important!

So Ed Baumgartner was hired to meed with Natalia Veselnitskaya for the purpose of opposition research.

The same Veselnitskaya who was indicted for obstructing Mueller's investigation into Russian Collusion.
I have long suggested that Fusion GPS provided Natalia Veselnitskaya the dirt on Hillary's friends that they offered to Don Jr. in the infamous Trump Tower meeting...
It was a Fusion GPS prepared report that she provided to the Trump campaign.
FINCEN intelligence personnel working for US Treasury Department to investigate money laundering were sending oppo research material to Russian Gmail accounts.
Felix Sater told us that his testimony showed that Glenn Simpson committed perjury when testifying to Congress to hide when Fusion GPS's relationship with Veselnatskya started.
Veselnitskaya was indicted for obstructing the investigation into Prevezon & money laundering crimes.

Fusion GPS was conducting research for her in this case & she was in NY for hearings on this case when she met with Trump's team.
justice.gov/usao-sdny/pr/r…
Back to the FEC ruling.

The staff investigators & counsel found reason to believe there was probable cause that the Hillary for America campaing & the DNC laundered money through Perkins Coie to conceal their payments to Fusion GPS.

Which lead DNC & HFA to pay the fines...
Don't forget, Glenn Simpson & Fusion GPS allegedly filed an Ethics case against then Rep. @DevinNunes in an effort to intimidate him out of referring Simpson's perjury in testimony to DOJ.
I can't find a tweet at the moment to document it, but Simpson also lied about employing Nellie Ohr to Congress. In his initial testimony, he claimed that Ed Baumgartner was the only Russia speaker that he employed. But Nellie Ohr is also a Russia speaker/translator.
Found the testimony from Simpson where lied about employing only Ed Baumgartner as a subcontractor who speaks Russian.
Baumgartner is very important because he is the Fusion GPS contractor who accused @Comey of rigging the 2016 election to help Trump win it!

The narrative prepared by Simpson & Sussmann unraveled when FBI told the NYT's that there was no collusion!
The entire Hillary Clinton campaign conspiracy to trick voters into believing FBI was investigating Donald Trump failed, with this one article.
Yet 5 1/2 years later, some still believe that Comey & the FBI were investigating Trump.

Kaboom!

Durham's strategy has worked!

The judge has ruled that he will review the 38 documents & emails that the DNC, Hillary For America, Rodney Joffe & their lawyers claim are attorney client privileged information!

Can't wait!
#ButNothingsHappening Image
The judge had already approved Durham's motion to compell Fusion GPS's Laura Seago to testify (with use immunity) at the trial. So in regards to Joffe's 4 emails with Seago copying Sussmann, he's likely decided to negate ACP for those emails before hearing
They have stopped teleconference access to the hearings in DC cases as the courts are open. So we will have to wait on the transcripts.
But if you want to know the grounds Durham used to ask for this ruling, I have a thread on it here.

Looks like the judge has ordered Fusion GPS's tech maven Laura Seago to testify at trial. Her testimony is allegedly attorney client privileged under the claims by the DNC, FHA & Joffe.

Can't wait to read why Durham convinced the judge to order her testimony! Image
The Motion to Compell Laura Sleago's testimony was filed ex-parte & under seal between these documents on 4/18/22 & 4/19/22.
Ex-parte means that the govt. submitted it for the judge's view without the defense being able to read the document under seal. Image
A few more documents here that aren't visible yet too... Image

Joffe's attorneys have refiled his opposition to the judge privately viewing 4 of his emails to Fusion GPS, as requested by Durham.
Not sure if anything changed between the 2 versions, I didn't go through this 1 until now.
Found something very interesting.
courtlistener.com/docket/6039058…
Joffe is claiming privilege over 4 emails he exchanged with Laura Seago, the tech mavel of Fusion GPS.
Durham is also asking the court to resolve it as he intends to give her immunity in exchange for testifying about her allegedly privileged communications with Joffe & Sussmann.
So if the judge rules the emails are not privileged, then Seago can testify against Joffe & Sussmann at trial about those emails & any other communications.
How important became more clear with yesterday's ruling by the judge on admitting FBI expert testimony about DNS data.

Special Counsel Durham filing a seal document as Exhibit A to support his motions to pierce attorney-client privilege!
Can't wait until the judge responds!
courtlistener.com/docket/6039058…
But it looks like it isn't sealed!
I guess we get to read the information today!

So the court clerks keep making errors in this cases filings & unless the judge denied the request to file under seal & had it filed in the open.
storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
But I will focus on the motion first, before diving into the emails in the document that were supposed to be under seal.

A former owner of an NFL franchise was helping folks shuffle money through crypto exchanges? Interesting...
Is American football going to prove to be just another corrupt network like global futball leagues & teams?
#ButNothingsHappening
Looks like he moved $750M in money through Crypto Capital & used millions in those accounts as his collateral as he bought into the Alliance of American Football a rival start up league against the NFL...
Helping collapse the league...
Looks like the feds started seizing his money in late 2018 or early 2019. Wonder who he flipped on to get his plea deal?

Judge issues orders on some of the pre-trial motions in the Sussmann case.
Hearing later this week for the ones the judge wants arguments on before deciding.

#ButNothingsHappening
courtlistener.com/docket/6039058…
Judge will grant in part & deny in part on Sussmann's motions.
Judge will exclude Durham showing that the evidence of the Trump Alfa connection is fake.
Because Sussmann's team has already conceded they won't try to argue that the evidence is true. So as long as Sussmann doesn't argue the DNS data is true, Durham can't show jury it's false.
