With the understanding the Perkins Coie/FBI connect is happening we can revisit several older columns. I always speculated the abuse of the 702 database was by FusionGPS.
Now we can substitute “Perkins Coie”

Orbis: Perkins Coie Engaged FusionGPS to Provide Information to Challenge 2016 Election Validity
June 14, 2020
In UK court paper, Steele firm Orbis claims Perkins Coie engaged FusionGPS to provide information on Russian interference in order to challenge 2016 election results
Elias, in recently declassified testimony by the DNI obfuscates reason for hiring FusionGPS, but does not slam the door on early discussions of Russian interference
Elias met with Steele, Simpson and others in late September/early October of 2016 to discuss work completed for FusionGPS and Elias
Elias admits he was aware of leaks of dossier to press, and allowed those leaks to occur
There is an ongoing defamation lawsuit betweenAlfa Bank principals Mikhail Fridman, Peter Aven, German Khan, and FusionGPS. The three allege that FusionGPS defamed and harmed them in commissioning “Memo 112” of the now infamous Steele dossier, which purports that the three were collaborating with Vladmir Putin, and accuses another lower level Alfa bank employee of criminal misconduct at the behest of Putin.
Within a filing in the FusionGPS case, is an attachment from a related appeal that Fridman, Aven, and Khan filed in litigation they also brought against Orbis (Steele’s company). The filing includes written answers provided by Orbis in matters before the court in the UK. On page 76, is a courtesy copy of a British High Court Filing involving Christopher Steele and Orbis.
Orbis is asked why Perkins Coie needed the information in the memo about Alfa Bank. The response is quite alarming. Orbis answers (emphasis ours) “Fusion’s immediate client was law firm Perkins Coie, LLP. It engaged Fusion to obtain information necessary for Perkins Coie, LLP to provide legal advice on the potential impact of Russian involvement on the legal validity of the outcome of the 2016 US Presidential Election. Based on that advice, parties such as the Democratic National Committee and HFACC Inc. (also known as “Hillary for America”) could consider steps they would be legally entitled to take to challenge the validity of the outcome of the election”
Excerpt from Appeals Case in DC Circuit
There are serious implications to the testimony. What Orbis is certifying to the UK court, is that when Perkins Coie hired FusionGPS in June of 2016, they did so with the expectation that FusionGPS would provide them information they would need to challenge the validity of the 2016 election, based on Russian interference. The only problem, is that FusionGPS was retained by Perkins Coie much earlier than what is purportedly the start date of the now infamous Crossfire Hurricane counterintelligence investigation. The FBI asserts that the Crossfire Hurricane investigation began in late July of 2016, based on a tip about George Papadopoulos meeting with Australian diplomat Alexander Downer. The entire premise of that investigation in now under its own scrutiny in the John Durham probe.
As UncoverDC will detail in a moment, there was near constant communication between Elias and FusionGPS principals throughout the duration of the engagement. Marc Elias, when questioned in front of the HPSCI in December of 2017, never mentions a word about Russian interference as he is probed about the odd retention of FusionGPS. From the transcript, we learn that Elias was initially approached by FusionGPS. FusionGPS told Elias that they had done research into candidate Trump for another client, and would be able to assist Perkins Coie in providing information that would be beneficial to the Clinton campaign and DNC. As questioning continues, Trey Gowdy asks Elias specifically whether Simpson told him that there was information pertaining to Russia. Elias leaves his answer somewhat open ended:
Excerpt from HPSCI testimony of Marc Elias
Just a bit later in the conversation, Elias is asked when he first heard the name Christopher Steele. Elias replies that it was June/July of 2016. Gowdy digs deeper and asks when Elias learned that Steele was focused on Russia. Elias replies that it was “late June, early July, mid-July. “ He then goes on to state that he approved the hiring of Orbis as a subcontractor to FusionGPS under their arrangement. There are numerous pages in the transcript where Elias discusses how he uses information from firms like FusionGPS to advise him on legal avenues he may pursue on behalf of the campaign.
Elias also states that he met with Steele at Perkins Coie offices in late September early October, which would have been around the time of the Alfa Bank memo and also when media began reporting on the purported Trump server communicating with Russia via Alfa Bank. He begins by brushing off the importance of the meeting, and through further questioning, we learn that it was a meeting about the work that Steele was doing for FusionGPS. We also learn that Elias held weekly meetings with FusionGPS and was aware of stories that were being provided to the media before those actions were taken. He did not object to the press coverage.
In light of Orbis claim, the transcript with Elias is illuminating, as it raises significant questions about the motives of Perkins Coie, the DNC, and the Clinton campaign. We recommend it be studied in full by our readers for more context. It also invites serious questions about the timing and involvement of Perkins Coie, and a plan to challenge election results based on what is now known to be completely discredited information found in the dossier.

I love the symmetry and the timing of this.
These people were walking around on EGG SHELLS for 8 months hoping against hope the ONE BIG SECRET about Perkins Coie that NO ONE OUTSIDE OF THE DEMOCRAT INNER CIRCLE MUST EVER LEARN didn't come up.
It never did. All through 7 1/2 months of filings, a 2 week trial, nobody ever breathed a word either in a filing or testimony about the Democratic Party's tippy top law firm having it's very own FBI database portal.
Imagine the sigh of relief they all let out, will you?
Just imagine it for a minute.
"Thank God. Thank God we got through all of that, Mike got acquitted and now it's all over!"
Ponder the wave of relief that swept through certain quarters of The Swamp after that DC jury came through for them.
AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN…
Matt Gaetz…MATT….GAETZ…goes on Tucker Carlson's show and they roll it out for the whole world to see.
THAT….VERY…NIGHT.
I not only question the TIMING…
I LOVE the timing.
I want to date it and take it home and marry it and have babies with it.
The very day they were thinking this was over, somebody dropped this anvil on their heads.
'Tis glorious.

This wasn't Michael Sussmann that made this admission in a letter to Congress.
Oh no.
It wasn't Marc Elias either.
They've been gone from the firm for over half a year now.
Perkins Coie as a legal entity made this admission to Congress about having had an FBI portal on their premises since 2012.
Perkins Coie is cooperating. It's only explanation.
Elias left Perkins Coie first, about 3 months ahead of Sussmann getting indicted.
Sussmann was either fired or resigned immediately after he was indicted.
PC gave up the billing records and emails and memoranda in response to the Durham grand jury federal subpoenas.
And now here they are, admitting in a letter to Congressional investigators the ONE FUCKING THING that's gonna blow the lid off the Pandora's box of SpyGate and send it flying off into the stratosphere.
The FBI enabling and facilitating the Democrat's spying on and targeting of political opponents.
From what I've read, that portal there is still active.
How many elections have there been since 2012?
2014 midterms
2016
2018 midterms
2020
and now as we are heading into the 2022 midterms a key and most secret weapon the DNC had at it's disposal was just pulled out from behind the curtain into the national spotlight.
What's Durham gonna do with this, I wonder?

Huge Plot Twist Develops Immediately After DC Jury Acquits Perkins Coie Lawyer Michael Sussmann
Perkins Coie Has Been Doing Politically Targeted Spying of Democrat's Political Opponents Since 2012 - Facilitated By None Other Than The FBI
Well the jury wasn’t out all that long once it’s deliberations began anew on Tuesday, May 31st, following the Memorial Day holiday. After asking to see two of the government exhibits, the jury returned and found top DNC/Hillary Clinton power-lawyer Michael Sussmann not guilty of making a false statement to a federal official.
A lot of people - including me - had good reasons for expecting a conviction. Reasons such as that Durham had never lost a case in which he brought a defendant to trial, and the fact there was a literal mountain of evidence - including a text message he wrote himself and never denied writing - that showed Sussmann lied to FBI General Counsel James Baker about representing clients when he made his approach to the law enforcement agency with the Alfa Bank hoax.
On the other hand, there were those who insisted the amount of evidence didn’t matter because this was a Washington D.C. jury, and they were pulled from a political elitist population that believes Durham should have been ended long ago and this whole trial was a farce.
Turns out those who held that a DC jury was never going to convict a Democrat power lawyer were in fact correct about that. This is one of the most blatant examples of jury nullification I’ve ever witnesses, and that includes the OJ Simpson trial.
Did Anything Positive Come Out of the Sussmann Trial?
Yes, absolutely. If you followed the case from the beginning and saw the groundwork Durham and his prosecution team spent over 7 months preparing in the case filings, it became apparent that the Sussmann case was the jumping off point of prosecuting a criminal ‘joint venture’ involving dozens of different people spread out over various political campaigns, private firms and government agencies.
Just because on a single false statement charge that Durham used to establish all that groundwork, a DC jury nullified all the evidence and let Sussmann walk, does this also nullify the evidence that Durham now has on record with the court?
It does not. Durham can still use all this evidence in ongoing cases.
Let me count the ways.

US cyber chief General Nakasone admits to ops against Russia in Ukraine
Cyber Command went “hunting” in Kiev, says General Nakasone

US Cyber Command specialists were deployed to Ukraine and conducted offensive operations against Russia, its commander and NSA Director General Paul Nakasone said on Wednesday.
In an exclusive interview with Sky News on the sidelines of a cyber conference in Estonia, Nakasone also revealed that US eavesdroppers conduct information warfare, with the help of corporate media such as CNN.
Nakasone, a four-star general, heads both the Cyber Command and the National Security Agency out of Fort Meade, Maryland. He was in Tallinn, Estonia on Wednesday for CyCon – the 14th International Conference on Cyber Conflict, hosted by NATO.

— J. A. Guerrero-Saade (@juanandres_gs) June 1, 2022
In the interview with Sky, the general said US cyber specialists have been deployed to 16 overseas countries at the invitation of their allied governments, to “hunt forward”: seek out foreign hackers and identify the tools they use.
“We went in December 2021 at the invitation of the Kiev government to come and hunt with them. We stayed there for a period of almost 90 days,” Nakasone said. This team left Ukraine in February, along with all other US troops, ahead of the Russian incursion.
Nakasone also confirmed – for the very first time, according to Sky – that the US was conducting offensive hacking operations in support of Ukraine.
We’ve conducted a series of operations across the full spectrum; offensive, defensive, [and] information operations.
According to the general, the difference between Russian and US information warfare is that Moscow lies while Washington tells the truth. As an example, he cited a 2020 case of “troll farms” he said Russia was developing in Africa. The NSA and Cyber Command responded by informing the FBI – but also CNN, which provided “a flashlight that suddenly exposes this type of malicious behavior.”
NSA promises ‘no backdoors’ in new encryption READ MORE: NSA promises ‘no backdoors’ in new encryption
In December 2020, Facebook announced a purge of accounts – allegedly both Russian and French – suspected of “coordinated inauthentic behavior,” in central and northern Africa.
Nakasone said that the NSA and CYBERCOM have been developing this “strategic disclosure” since 2018, when he took over as the leader of both. As other examples, he said the NSA also put forth information about what “the Russians were trying to do in our midterm elections” in 2018 as well as in 2020. Moscow has denied any meddling in US elections, electronic or otherwise.
“The ability for us to share that information, being able to ensure it’s accurate and it’s timely and it’s actionable on a broader scale has been very, very powerful in this crisis,” he said.
US intelligence officials admitted to NBC News in April that they have leaked intelligence to the media about the conflict in Ukraine that was either “not rock solid” or was outright made up on multiple occasions, in order to win an “info war” against Russia. The misinformation was part of an effort to “undermine Moscow’s propaganda and prevent Russia from defining how the war is perceived in the world,” they said.

China angered by US and its ally New Zealand
Beijing slams concerns over its increased activity in the Pacific region as distorted and slanderous

China has slammed recent comments made by US President Joe Biden and New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern regarding Beijing’s increased activity in the Pacific region, calling it a gross interference in China’s internal affairs.
Biden and Ardern met on Tuesday in Washington, where they released a joint statement expressing shared concerns over Beijing’s recent security agreement with the Solomon Islands.
“The establishment of a persistent military presence in the Pacific by a state that does not share our values or security interests would fundamentally alter the strategic balance of the region and pose national-security concerns to both our countries,” read a statement from the White House.
“We have more work to do on these Pacific islands,” said Biden before his meeting with Ardern, who stated that both the US and New Zealand were strongly aligned in “furthering the Pacific values and the focus that Pacific island leaders have determined for themselves."

China’s Foreign ministry has hit out at these statements, insisting that they smeared China and grossly interfered in Beijing’s internal affairs.
“We have taken note of the relevant joint statement, which distorts the facts and slanders China's regular cooperation with the countries of Oceania,” said Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian, adding that “This is gross interference in the internal affairs of the People’s Republic of China, which we strongly protest.”
The spokesperson stressed that China’s deal with the Solomon Islands will have a positive effect on the peaceful development of Oceania, and that security cooperation between the two countries is not aimed against any other nation. “We don’t intend to build military bases there,” insisted Zhao.
Nevertheless, security ties between the Solomon islands and China have been of particular concern to the US and its Pacific ally Australia, which is located less than 2,000km away from the Solomon islands. Australia’s Prime Minister Scott Morrison has stated that a potential Chinese military base on the islands was a “red line” that would not be tolerated. However, neither he nor Washington have made it clear how they might respond to such a Chinese presence in the region.
Meanwhile, Solomon Island Prime Minister Manasseh Sogavore has told his parliament that opponents of the new security pact with China, who he did not mention by name, have threatened the island nation with a possible invasion. Australia’s PM has denied these claims and insisted that his country will respond “calmly” to the deal.
Last week, Beijing announced that it will increase cooperation with the Solomon islands and “pursue greater collaboration that will deliver on joint interests and commitments,” including regional “peace and security.”
“Under the current circumstance of unilateralism and hegemonic bullying, China is willing to consolidate unity and cooperation with developing countries including Samoa, jointly safeguard the legitimate rights of developing nations, and insist on true multilateralism,” said Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi on Saturday.
Wang is currently on a diplomatic tour of the Pacific region as China has been attempting to increase its economic and security cooperation in the region. Beijing has proposed several wide-ranging deals to a number of Pacific island nations, however, many have remained cautious, citing concerns that China’s active presence in the region could lead to geopolitical tensions with the US and its allies.

First Preliminary Injunction Filed in AZ

Affidavit could provide a mechanism to impose criminal liability on the SCOTUS leaker
by Elad Hakim June 1, 2022
When the draft opinion overturning the landmark case of Roe v. Wade was leaked, various legal scholars were at odds about whether the leak constituted a criminal offense.
As reported by The Washington Times:
“Some have said it could be theft of government property or obstruction of justice in trying to change the outcome of the ruling. Others have said Supreme Court documents aren’t protected by confidentiality laws like other areas of government.”
While the answer to this question remains unclear, the Supreme Court recently took another step that could potentially make it easier to impose criminal liability on the leaker(s). According to CNN, the court is asking clerks to provide cell phone records and sign affidavits.
While the request for cell phone records could face obstacles on privacy and other grounds, the affidavit is another story altogether. Pursuant to 18 U.S.C. 1001:
(a) Except as otherwise provided in this section, whoever, in any matter within the jurisdiction of the executive, legislative, or judicial branch of the Government of the United States, knowingly and willfully—
(2) makes any materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement or representation;
shall be fined under this title, imprisoned not more than 5 years or, if the offense involves international or domestic terrorism (as defined in section 2331), imprisoned not more than 8 years, or both. If the matter relates to an offense under chapter 109A, 109B, 110, or 117, or section 1591, then the term of imprisonment imposed under this section shall be not more than 8 years.
Therefore, if someone, for example, makes a materially false statement, this law imposes penalties that include the possibility of imprisonment. This is a positive step in that it creates a mechanism by which to impose criminal penalties on the person or persons responsible for this egregious act.
Despite the request, is it unclear whether any clerks will voluntarily agree to sign an affidavit. While the refusal to do so would have no legal bearing, it could certainly raise some eyebrows.
After all, why would someone refuse to cooperate or help identify the person(s) responsible for one of the biggest breaches ever to impact the Supreme Court? This despicable act tarnished the sanctity of the Supreme Court.
To help restore the court’s image and rebuild the requisite level of trust, those who work within its walls should do everything possible to help locate and identify the perpetrator(s).

True the Vote on exposing nonprofits involved in ballot harvesting scheme: We ‘need law enforcement to be able to do their jobs’
by Timothy Frudd June 1, 2022
In a special presentation before the Arizona state Senate Tuesday, True the Vote founder Catherine Engelbrecht testified concerning the evidence the election integrity organization uncovered from the deeply controversial 2020 election.
Engelbrecht’s presentation took place Tuesday in front of Arizona’s Senate members. During the presentation, she and election investigator Gregg Phillips detailed their ballot trafficking and harvesting findings in Maricopa and Yuma Counties.
When asked which nonprofit organizations were involved in the ballot harvesting operations detailed in the documentary “2000 Mules,” Engelbrecht explained, “When you have the level of accuracy that we do, you can assess what address you’re talking about and what organization is at that address.”
Engelbrecht told Arizona’s legislature, “We would love to put that list out and let the chips fall where they may. But, there’s a ‘but,’ we also need law enforcement to be able to do their jobs.”

True the Vote’s founder emphasized, “We cannot get ahead of that, we just can’t.” She explained they have not yet released the list of nonprofits involved in ballot harvesting because, “This is too important, and we have labored to the best of our ability to make every step as correctly as we can.”
“While there would be a definite feel-good moment to put that out, we have a higher obligation – all of us do,” concluded Engelbrecht.
True the Vote has made it clear that the process must be executed properly and cannot be rushed however slow the process may seem.
True the Vote’s founder has previously stated that the “rise of the American people” is a major force to be reckoned with as the evidence of voter fraud in the 2020 election continues to mount.

Trump urges supporters to help stop the ‘disinformation lunatics’ trying to damage Truth Social
President Donald Trump urged his supporters Monday to help guard against the “disinformation lunatics” trying to “damage” the reputation of Truth Social.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump wrote, “Great reviews for TRUTH please. The disinformation lunatics are working hard to do damage.”
Despite the left’s attempt to discredit the success of Truth Social, the social media company continues to expand at a rapid pace. It is quickly becoming the preferred platform for free speech.
Trump explained the immense popularity of Truth Social and the failed attempt of the liberal media to damage his social media company, saying, “It won’t work, too strong and too good, maybe best ever – and only getting better.”
Pointing to one of the most significant differences between Truth Social and other social media platforms, the 45th president wrote, “Besides, TRUTH has me, and failing, boring Twitter NEVER will (although they now want to, badly!).”
In a separate post on Truth Social, Trump exclaimed, “Get off Twitter, we have TRUTH on our side!”

— RSBN 🇺🇸 (@RSBNetwork) May 28, 2022
For years, the 45th president has been adamant about the need for an alternative to social media platforms dominated by censorship and suppression. Despite Elon Musk’s promise to bring significant changes and improvements to Twitter, Trump has remained committed to Truth Social and has urged people to switch over.
Recently, Truth Social launched a web app for the social media platform, allowing millions more Americans to access the free speech platform. While an android app has not yet been released, Apple users have been using the popular social media platform for a few months now.
Concluding his message to his supporters on Truth Social, Trump emphasized, “SPREAD THE WORD!”

The Judiciary Refuses to Rule on the 2020 Election
Posted Jun 1, 2022 by Martin Armstrong
The 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals dismissed the lawsuit calling into question the 2020 election. The media immediately jumps on it saying that the lawsuit relied on “baseless conspiracy theories” spread by Trump and his supporters that the election was stolen in favor of Joe Biden. This is in itself FAKE NEWS and a deliberate attempt by the media to continue this narrative undermining the corruption in the election system of the United States. The media refuses to explain the truth for, in fact, their own conspiracy theory was not the basis for dismissing the lawsuit.
Among others, the lawsuit named Facebook and Denver-based Dominion Voting Systems, whose election machines remain the focus of voter fraud allegations. The court ruling had NOTHING to do with the validity of the allegations. The court found that eight plaintiffs from across the U.S. had no standing to assert that the outcome of the election “violated the constitutional rights of every registered voter in the United States.” “NO STANDING” means they had no right to bring the action and it has nothing to do with the validity of the claims.
U.S. Magistrate Judge N. Reid Neureiter dismissed the lawsuit in April 2021, finding the plaintiffs failed to show they had suffered specific injuries due to the election result and thus had no standing to bring the lawsuit.
Clearly, the courts just do not want to get involved and they will continue to use every possible loophole they can argue NOT to rule on the claims. The Judiciary has simply REFUSED to defend the Constitution or to allow such a case to go to trial and let the people decide on the evidence. Their refusal to address this issue leaves the 2022 election ripe for civil unrest for whoever loses, will argue it was rigged. That is probably part of the Panic Cycle our computer has targeted for the 2022 mid-term election.

The Special Counsel Proved The FBI Belongs To The Swamp
By: Margot Cleveland
June 01, 2022
7 min read
‘The FBI is our institution that should not be used as a political tool for anyone; not Republicans, not Democrats, not anyone.’
Yesterday, after less than one full day of deliberations, a D.C. jury stacked with pro-Hillary Clinton jurors acquitted former Clinton campaign attorney Michael Sussmann, proving the FBI is not “ours” but the swamp’s.
Just more than two weeks ago, prosecutor Brittain Shaw began opening statements in United States v. Sussmann, by stating the obvious: “Some people have very strong feelings about politics and about Russia, and many people have strong feelings about Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.”
“But we are not here because these allegations involve either of them,” Shaw continued. “Nor are we here because the defendant’s client was the Clinton campaign.” Rather, “we are here because the FBI is our institution that should not be used as a political tool for anyone; not Republicans, not Democrats, not anyone.”
But after hearing overwhelming evidence that Sussmann lied when he told the then-FBI General Counsel James Baker he was providing data and whitepapers about a supposed secret communications channel between Trump and the Russian-based Alfa Bank on his own behalf, when in fact Sussmann was representing both the Clinton campaign and tech executive Rodney Joffe, the 12 D.C. residents found Sussmann not guilty.
It was not the verdict, however, that confirmed that the FBI belongs to career bureaucrats, high-powered D.C. elites who revolve in and out of the government as political appointees, and the families and friends of all the above. Rather, it was the speed with which the acquittal came, coupled with the in-court testimony and other evidence exposed by the special counsel throughout the prosecution that proved the FBI isn’t America’s anymore.
After hearing from some 20 witnesses, all but a few testifying for the prosecution, the jury spent a couple of hours on Friday deliberating before the long Memorial Day weekend. Tuesday morning, the 12 jurors returned to the D.C. federal courthouse to continue deliberations. But after requesting to see a copy of Sussmann’s taxi receipt and one of the whitepapers Sussmann peddled to Baker, they delivered their verdict of “not guilty.”
In total, then, the jury did not even deliberate for a full day, which means not one of the 12 jurors pushed the other 11 to wade through the detailed evidence presented by the special counsel’s office. Who could blame them, though, if the government’s own witnesses registered more offense at Congress for investigating the Russia collusion hoax than they did at Sussmann for misleading the FBI.
Consider Baker, to whom Sussmann was charged with lying. The former FBI general counsel testified he was “100 percent confident” Sussmann said during their September 19, 2016 meeting that he was not representing a client. Baker also told the jury he likely wouldn’t have taken the meeting if he knew Sussmann represented the Clinton campaign.
Yet Baker blamed himself for throwing Sussmann “into a maelstrom” and expressed outrage at how the congressmen investigating the investigation into Trump and his campaign behaved when they questioned Baker about his meeting with Sussmann. Baker displayed not even a sliver of the same distress over his friend lying to him.
On the contrary, when asked why he had just discovered the text message Sussmann sent him the night before their meeting, in which Sussmann wrote, “I’m coming on my own – not on behalf of a client or company. [W]ant to help the Bureau,” Baker told prosecutors: “I’m not out to get Michael. This is not my investigation. This is your investigation. If you ask me a question, I answer it. You asked me to look for something, I go look for it.”
While Baker may no longer work for the FBI, he did at the time Sussmann fed him the Alfa Bank folly. As an American, he should have been appalled that the former Clinton campaign attorney would play the law enforcement and intelligence communities for political purposes. Also, had Baker pulled his cell phone records earlier, the text could have served as a separate false statement charge—one proven in black-and-white—but the delay in Baker finding the text allowed the statute of limitations to expire.
Bill Priestap, the assistant director of the Counterintelligence Division for the FBI in 2016, likewise displayed a grudging demeanor when testifying on behalf of the special counsel. When asked whether it was “important” for Sussmann “to fully disclose his ties to the Clinton campaign,” rather than provide a straightforward answer, Priestap sparred with the prosecutor, first saying it “would have been part of several factors.” Then, when pushed, Priestap said, “I’m struggling on your use of the word ‘important.’ It’s a motivation that is relevant, but not the only factor.”
Prosecutors, however, had ample other evidence that established the materiality of Sussmann’s misrepresentation to Baker. But the jurors didn’t care because the jury, in the truest sense, was a jury of Sussmann’s peers. Just as his actual colleagues, Baker and Priestap, shrugged off the Section 1001 false statement offense, so did the jury, who could easily envision their neighbors and friends sitting in his stead.
But the proof that the FBI is no longer “ours” came even before the jury verdict—months earlier, when Special Counsel John Durham revealed in a discovery update that the Department of Justice’s Office of Inspector General withheld evidence from Durham’s team.
The DOJ’s OIG is charged with conducting independent investigations related to DOJ employees and programs, including alleged misconduct by FBI agents. In preparing for the Sussmann trial, the special counsel’s office met with the OIG in October 2021 “to discuss discoverable materials that may be in the OIG’s possession.”
Even though the OIG possessed two of Baker’s FBI cellphones, prosecutors were not told of the phones’ existence by the OIG. Rather, the special counsel only learned of the two cellphones on January 6, 2022, when another FBI employee mentioned them.
The same discovery update that revealed the OIG had failed to mention Baker’s cell phones also noted that the OIG had falsely told Durham’s team that “a written forensic report” was the only information it possessed concerning a meeting between Sussmann and the OIG.
That meeting had occurred in early 2017, when Sussmann, on behalf of an unnamed client now known to be Joffe, went to the IG with a report that his client “had observed that a specific OIG employee’s computer was ‘seen publicly’ in ‘Internet traffic’ and was connecting to a Virtual Private Network in a foreign country.” The OIG provided the special counsel with the forensic report, but in doing so, also represented to prosecutors that it had ‘no other file[] or other documentation’ relating to this cyber matter.”
However, after Sussmann’s defense team informed Durham that Sussmann had personally met with the IG, the special counsel’s office circled back and, amazingly, the OIG discovered additional documentation related to Sussmann’s meeting with the IG. That the OIG—the entity charged with investigating FBI misconduct—withheld not one, but two pieces of evidence from the special counsel’s office until cornered should crush any remaining faith our country holds in the FBI.
And there was little trust left after the FBI launched Crossfire Hurricane on the most ridiculous of pretexts; after text messages revealed Lisa Page and Peter Strzok’s anti-Trump sentiments drove the Crossfire Hurricane team members; after the FBI and DOJ obtained four court surveillance orders based on fraud and then illegally surveilled Carter Page; after fired FBI Director James Comey leaked to the press, via an attorney friend, memos he had written following meetings with then-President Trump, to prompt the appointment of a different special counsel; and after FBI agent William Barnett told investigators that he believed Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s office used the prosecution of Gen. Michael Flynn “to get Trump.”
The special counsel’s prosecution of Sussmann offered an opportunity for the country to see at least a small acknowledgment that the politicization of the FBI would not be tolerated. Instead, Americans witnessed confirmation by former FBI agents, the OIG, and the DC jury that the FBI is theirs, not ours.
