All the while, Sussman was, per the indictment, not acting on his own but “on behalf of The Hillary campaign committee and Rodney Joffe [Tech Executive 1 in the indictment] and Neustar [Internet Company 1 in the indictment].”

Dirty Deeds Done Not Cheap
By Clarice Feldman
In 2015 the law firm Perkins Coie, which also represented the Democratic National Committee, was hired by the Hillary Clinton Campaign. Early the following year it hired Fusion GPS to perform opposition research for the campaign. Fusion GPS provided the now-debunked Steele dossier that alleged Russian collusion with the Trump campaign.
For the services performed during the campaign, the DNC paid the firm $5.6 million and the Clinton campaign paid them $3.6 million. Having the firm hire GPS Fusion meant that the connection would not be revealed through campaign financial disclosures but, in time, the connection was revealed, largely because of a defamation suit filed in Great Britain by Alfa Bank against Steele.
In recent weeks, a key member of the firm, Mark Elias, who had been the Clinton campaign’s lawyer, left the firm and, this week, another member, Michael Sussman, was indicted by a federal grand jury called by Special Counsel John Durham of making a false statement to the FBI.
Sussman pleaded not guilty.
