I wonder if Sussman will go to Elias's new firm or somewhere else. Won't be going back to Perkins Coie.

Squeeze play?

Hard to see how this statement meets the materiality element. FBI would want to review this evidence whether it came from a former DOJ lawyer or his client. And it seems that this defendant is being held to a very different standard than Mike Flynn was

This is a bit of a yawner. As I recall the whole Alfa Bank - Trump Server thing never went anywhere anyhow. But I guess that's the best that Durham could do.

Meanwhile, when are we going to have the investigation into how Barr illegally shut down the Mueller investigation?

What a dumb indictment. The Alfa Bank information wasn't bogus. It's bizarre. Apparently innocuous. And bizarre

So basically Sussman fudged some billing records, which as a partner, may or may not be a big deal. But he wasn't making up the Alfa Bank weirdness.

Durham is really reaching. He got Sussman fired, at least. He must be so proud of himself. Attaboy, Durham.

I totally don't get it with him.

Too bad.

And in this case, it seems more like hearsay than anything else, based on the article.

Hearsay how? They have evidence that he billed the Clinton Campaign for his work.

This is very underwhelming given what we were expecting from Durham.

That doesn't sound interesting at all. Data and written materials that were given to the FBI and the media? So public information. Old public information.

Gulp. Here comes Durham.
