For the Keks, Perkins Coie wrote this in 2018, but we just don't understand the wonderful Sussmann, I can't post the entire article, behind a paywall

Our Michael Sussmann Is an Honorable Man

Mr. Sussmann is a nationally recognized privacy, cybersecurity and national-security lawyer.

Kimberley Strassel’s “Who is Michael Sussmann?” (Potomac Watch, Oct. 12) leaves the Journal’s readers with a misleading impression about Mr. Sussmann and our law firm.

Mr. Sussmann is a nationally recognized privacy, cybersecurity and national-security lawyer. He worked in the Justice Department as a cybercrime prosecutor for both Democratic and Republican administrations, and is regularly retained by clients to handle cybersecurity matters. He is not a political law attorney nor a member of Perkins Coie’s Political Law Group, and he was not remotely close to being the “point man for the firm’s DNC and Clinton campaign accounts.” As reflected in Mr. Sussmann’s biography (publicly available on Perkins Coie’s website), his representation regarding the DNC and the Clinton campaign was focused on advising on their responses to Russian hacking related to the 2016 presidential election.

In addition, and as Perkins Coie has previously publicly stated, Mr. Sussmann’s meeting with the FBI General Counsel James Baker was on behalf of a client with no connections to either the Clinton campaign, the DNC or any other Political Law Group client.
