PODESTA AND MOOK PANICKING, SO OTHERS ARE TOO. They be fucked!
John Podesta and Robby Mook have entered declarations in the Sussmann case's court docket.
Podesta's:

https://ecf.dcd.uscourts.gov/doc1/04519195714
What Podesta's declaration says is that theHillary Camp has not waived any of it's attorney client privilegesover documents held by any firm or entity it hired during the 2016 campaign.
Podesta therefore declares that attorney client privilege shields any work product produced for it by Perkins Coie or any of the consultants it hired [supposedly just for legal advice] such as Fusion GPS.
Weak sauce.
The Hillary team is declaring that they have a right to hold back thousands of documents in the face of federal subpoenas and they do not want the in camera review Durham has requested to take place.
Notice that Podesta doesn't even address that the judge will be reviewing the documents himself if he grants Durham's Motion To Compel, so he can impartially determine if the claims of privilege are authentic.
Mook's declaration is a bit longer, but is also only 2 pages.

So Mook/Podesta are insisting on continuing with the lie in signed declarations that Perkins Coie and all the contractors hired by Perkins Coie such as Fusion GPS, were hired solely to and I quote "for the purpose of providing legal services and legal advice to HFA."
They're locked into this lie now, that Fusion's documents held back in defiance of a federal grand jury subpoena are chock-full of 'legal advice' and 'legal counsel' and are thus shielded from the SCO by attorney client privilege.
Here's what's going to happen:
Durham has already showed the court more than sufficient documentary evidence of the 'joint venture' to vilify Donald J. Trump with a fake Alfa Bank hoax that involved a private spy network comprised of federal contractors abusing their access privileges to government databases.
Hillary for America, Perkins Coie and Fusion all have motive to lie to the court to shield their joint venture targeting Trump with manufactured hoaxes from further exposure.
For this reason, Judge Cooper is going to grant Durham's Motion To Compel via In Camera review and Judge Cooper and his staff are going to review the Fusion/PC documents themselves.
And when that happens, Cooper's going to find the claims of a/c priv are a bold faced sham.
Then Judge Cooper is gonna give Durham most, if not all these documents and he may even impose sanctions on the defendant and the parties that attempted to mislead the court.
Mook incoherently attempts to claim to Judge Cooper that the law firm of Perkins Coie hired Fusion solely to 'assist' it in providing 'legal services and legal advice' about the opposition research into Donald Trump that HFA was doing.
That's going to be a huge red flag to Judge Cooper and I'll bet that Durham will instantly pounce on it when he addresses it in his own filing.
Hillary's stupidity in involving the lawyers in the scheme, has her team incoherently claiming Fusion should be allowed to hide documents relating to the Trump/Russia hoaxes it helped to create because Fusion was only hired to give 'legal services and legal advice'.
It's a last ditch Hail Mary attempt to keep Durham from seeing the most damning documents that HFA, Perkins Coie and Fusion GPS have been holding back.
It won't work.
But what else can they do?
THIS HAS BEEN A BRIAN CATES THREAD PRODUCTION.
Thank you for reading and stuff.

The Shadow Crew Who Encouraged Elon Musk’s Twitter Takeover
Behind the scenes, fellow billionaires and internet provocateurs bent Tesla CEO’s ear; Jack Dorsey’s
Damn I was right
As Elon Musk’s crusade against Twitter Inc. escalated from a war of words to a full-on takeover, he was egged on behind the scenes by a mix of voices—from fellow billionaires to internet trolls—with their own beefs with the social-media platform.
In Mr. Musk, a serial entrepreneur with a hard Twitter habit, these men found a vessel for pent-up animosity over the company’s content moderation and management. One of them had a very personal stake: Twitter’s co-founder and former Chief Executive Jack Dorsey, who resigned last year under pressure from his board, was whispering in Mr. Musk’s ear that Twitter should be a private company, people familiar with the matter say….

Many have asked: Why out of all things has @elonmusk
decided Twitter is something that he alone can fix?
The answer, we discovered, is a secret crew of billionaires and misfits egging him on behind the scenes (1/x)
First on tap for New Twitter (TM all rights reserved) under Elon Musk is getting Donald Trump back on the site.
Musk's top deputy, Jared Birchall, told an associate:
“He vehemently disagrees with censoring. Especially for a sitting president. Insane.” (2/x)
Also on his way back to the friendly confines of this totally normal nothing to see here social-media platform: Right wing provocateur Charles Johnson, banned back in 2015 (!).3/
Johnson was promised in writing that he would be reinstated "very soon." (4/x)
Anyhoo every day is a wild freaking ride when you help cover perhaps the world's richest, most fascinating, most frustrating, most contradictory, most interesting man.
And there's always, as they say in the newz biz, more to come. (5/5)
