There are emails to back Durham’s statements up[/quote]

Durham’s statement is stupid. The FBI knew he worked for the DNC. [/quote]

The text message he revealed in Monday's filing said this to General Counsel for the FBI James Baker:

"Jim—it’s Michael Sussmann. I have something time-sensitive (and sensitive) I need to discuss. Do you have availability for a short meeting tomorrow? I’m coming on my own—not on behalf of a client or company—[b]want to help the Bureau. Thanks."

This text was sent the day before he told Baker about "purported data and 'white papers' that allegedly demonstrated a covert communications channel" between the Trump Organization and Alfa Bank, which has ties to the Kremlin.

[b]So, he claimed to be representing himself.  A lie.  [/b]

The bolded is the crux of the issue.

Is a personal text message subject to those laws? Doubtful.[/quote]

Maybe or maybe not, but that text was not charged in the indictment.  The charged lie was on Sept. 19 in the meeting with Baker.  At best, that text supports an inference he said the same thing the next day in the meeting.  But, assuming the text is allowed into evidence, the defense could easily argue that this text was actually the source of the Baker's hazy recollection and not anything that was said in the meeting.[/quote]
