Durham: DNC lawyer Marc Elias has given grand jury testimony
And - the criminal investigation of Sussmann is ongoing.
Today, Special Counsel John Durham provided a “discovery Update” to the court in the Michael Sussmann case. In this filing, available here, he disclosed that his team has obtained a tremendous amount of information ranging from a variety of sources – including Perkins Coie, the Hillary Clinton Campaign, and former DNC/Clinton lawyer Mark Elias.
While Sussmann has been charged with giving false statements to then-FBI General Counsel James Baker regarding the Alfa Bank/Trump Organization hoax (background here), Durham notes that the “Government also maintains an active, ongoing criminal investigation of” Sussmann’s conduct.
In other words, Sussmann’s criminal conduct likely is not limited to false statements. There is more. If we are to make an educated guess, it may have to do with the conspiracy to accuse the Trump Organization of having secret back-channel communications with Alfa Bank. We discussed the potential for a conspiracy charge here.
Now, to the evidence. Durham and his team have secured grand jury testimony from:
Former Perkins Coie partner, and DNC/Hillary Clinton lawyer Marc Elias.
Former FBI General Counsel James Baker
Current CIA employees
Durham and his team have completed interviews of the following individuals:
Former FBI General Counsel James Baker
More than 24 other current and former FBI employees.
Current and former employees of the CIA and DARPA.
12 Employees of the “internet companies” referenced in the Sussmann indictment.
The former chairman of DNC/Clinton law firm Perkins Coie.
A former employee of the Clinton campaign.
Current and former employees of Georgia Tech (involved in the Alfa Hoax).
An employee of “Tech Executive-1” – aka Rodney Joffe, a Sussmann client who assisted with the Alfa Bank hoax.
Still, there is more. Durham has obtained records/documents from:
The Hillary Clinton Campaign
Perkins Coie
Hillary for America
Fusion GPS
A PR Firm that advised Perkins Coie regarding public statements about Sussmann’s meeting with James Baker.
Phone logs for numerous current and former FBI employees.
“a classified memorandum and related reports of interviews pertaining to a criminal investigation previously conducted by the U.S. Department of Justice regarding a potential leak of classified information”
He also has secured nearly 400 e-mails between the FBI and Perkins Coie from January 2016 through June 2017.
There is also a curious paragraph discussing the fact that Durham, in January 2022 - learned from the DOJ Inspector General that they possessed “two FBI cellphones of the former FBI General Counsel to whom the defendant made his alleged false statement, along with forensic reports analyzing those cellphones.” Durham’s team is going through those cell phones now to analyze their contents.
And there will be more, with Durham stating “the Government expects to receive additional information and documents in the coming weeks that may be relevant to the charged conduct.”
While we expected some grand jury testimony, the fact that Mark Elias, the DNC/Clinton lawyer, was before a grand jury is certainly newsworthy. It’s possible that Elias’s testimony was limited to Sussmann’s involvement in the Alfa Bank hoax. As we previously noted, the Sussmann indictment provided that Durham obtained e-mails between Elias and Sussmann regarding the Alfa Bank allegations.
But consider the possibility that Durham has used the “crime-fraud exception” to compel disclosure of information otherwise subject to privilege and to help elicit testimony. “Under the crime-fraud exception, communications are not privileged when the client consults an attorney for advice that will serve him in the commission of a fraud or crime.” In re Grand Jury Investigation, 810 F.3d 1110, 1113 (9th Cir. 2016) (citations omitted). To meet this burden, Durham had to show two things:
That the client was engaged in or planning a criminal or fraudulent scheme when it sought the advice of counsel to further the scheme.
That Durham demonstrated the attorney-client communications for which production is sought are sufficiently related to and were made in furtherance of the intended, or present, continuing illegality. Id.
All this leads us to believe that Durham is focused on something more substantial than the false Alfa Bank allegations - perhaps the inception of it all: the claim of Russian hacking. As we have said before, consider the possibility that evidence of “Russian hacking” was placed by the DNC, Perkins Coie, et al. for Crowdstrike to conveniently “find.”

Literally all I've listened to for the past two years is people whining that they want Covid to be over with.
Now Covid is suffering a rapid and agonizing death and all I've listened to for two weeks now, is people complain that another virus is coming or that we're going to war or that their blue state still hasn't gotten rid of the mandates.
It's actually sickening to see that BOTH the left and the right have been victims of the mass formation psychosis.
Holding the line until the Covid narrative destroyed itself and exposed those who planned it and how they pulled it off is THE BIGGEST VICTORY FOR MANKIND IN OUR HISTORY.
And yet this country is so demoralized that nobody seems to care.
We just ruined a plan decades in the making to enslave humanity through a vaccine passport/digital tracking system…and nobody cares.
We are in the process of destroying Big Pharma and the MSM…and nobody cares.
We are in the process of destroying the Democratic party…and nobody cares.
WAKE UP PEOPLE.
THE TIDES ARE TURNING.
TAKING A VICTORY ISN'T LETTING YOUR GUARD DOWN.
Instead of letting the enemy demoralize you into a cynics wet dream by pivoting to another fear campaign, use this as fuel to continue fighting even harder.
Think of Rocky when he gets pissed and begins to unleash hell on his opponent after they've worn themselves out.
Recognize the chink in their armor.
We have our boot on their neck.
This is the last gasp of the old guard.
It's time to finish them.

Biased commentary about recent drama on Gab
Gab users are furious after its CEO announces partnership with notorious white nationalist
Gab CEO manages to alienate site's racist users by sponsoring upcoming, even more racist conference
Far-right platform Gab is sponsoring white nationalist Nick Fuentes’ conference. The move has proved controversial for both parties. Many of Gab’s donors are claiming that they’ll no longer fund the platform.
Gab founder Andrew Torba announced Monday that his platform will sponsor the upcoming America First Political Action Conference (AFPAC). AFPAC is Fuentes’ extremist alternative to the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC).
“Everyone who will be going is a member of this website, promotes Christian values, openly proclaims the name of Jesus Christ, and promotes America First political objectives, candidates, and members of Congress,” Torba wrote on Gab.
He claimed to desire unity among conservatives then proceeded to slam CPAC and Turning Point USA, Charlie Kirk’s group for young conservatives. “CPAC is sponsored by Facebook and Google among other billionaires,” Torba added. “TPUSA is sponsored by atheist libertarian billionaires.”
Facebook and Google were last reported to sponsor CPAC in 2018. It’s not clear who Torba’s accusing of being “atheist libertarian billionaires,” though it’s possible he’s referring to Charles Koch. Koch is a billionaire, TPUSA sponsor, and has described his views as libertarian. In 2017, the Wall Street Journal reported that he’s not religious.
Gab is a notorious haven for the far-right. Antisemitism and racism are common. Torba often boasts that hateful ideas are welcome on his platform.
Torba’s embrace couldn’t come at a better time for Fuentes. The far-right figure who launched his public persona by claiming he was leaving college after being threatened for attending the Unite the Right rally has found himself increasingly unwelcome online. His recent permanent suspension from Gettr followed bans by more mainstream platforms where he’d built his audience.
The partnership is also arguably beneficial to Gab, which is struggling to compete in a crowded far-right social media landscape.
Gab sponsoring AFPAC follows its partnership with Fuentes’ streaming service. Alex Kaplan of Media Matters for America reported on Monday that Torba may even help Fuentes monetize it.
The move generated controversy for both parties, however. Fuentes’ posts about the partnership were riddled with comments trolling him.
