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
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.

While this ruling is narrow because Durham only asked the judge to review 38 documents. That increased the odds of the judge finding it reasonable.
But it opens the door to 1455 other documents that Fusion GPS has refused to provide claiming ACP.
These rulings will now expose those communications to the Judge's review. He's likely already ruled that Seago & Joffe's emails are not privileged in compelling her to testify.
Which means Durham will get the communications to prove the conspiracy.
The judge allowed HFA, DNC, Joffe, Perkins Coie & Fusion GPS to join the case to claim attorney client privilege. This gave Durham an excuse to respond to their privilege claims exposing evidence that would not be allowed in prosecuting just Sussmann.

We don't have a transcript yet from the Durham/Sussmann hearing yesterday but we do have a news report from an attendee. Can't verify the accuracy of the quotes until we get the transcript but I noticed a few interesting things.

As I mentioned yesterday, Durham is only asking for 38 of the 1500 documents that are being withheld under attorney client privilege.
The judge asked if they were going to ask for more if he gave them the 38 documents, SCO's Algor answered "not for this trial"!!! Image
The SCO then told the judge that "Your Honor's decision is important for the investigation" which means these documents & many more will be used for future indictments & trials. Image

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

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!

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.

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?
