The charge against Sussman was lying to the FBI. He actually said to Baker he was not representing a client when he knowingly was. Sussman lied to the FBI and its provable by his statement before Congress. Whether Baker was in on the conspiracy is another case. Durham used Sussman's peccadillo for laying a wider net. I don't care how small the fish are. I want justice.
Lying to the FBI is considered to be verbal or non-verbal. The threshold is outrageously biased to anything the FBI wants to interpret. Many people have gone to prison for their silence in not answering a question or forgetting a detail of the event. All are considered lying to the FBI. On the flip side it is legal for the FBI to lie to you and me.
AGAIN!! You don't know for fact he told Baker... All you have his Baker saying he did. Of course Baker is going to say he lied, because if Baker tagged it to prevent a political investigation from getting squashed because of Bureau rules, then BAKER goes to jail.
You understand... If Baker doesn't say Sussman lied, Baker goes to jail, because Baker told the his subs he was not working for a client.
It's not like Baker didn't have a motive to lie, he did... He knew for fact Sussman worked for Hillary. Sussman, Baker, Elias, and the whole party probably Zoomed 15 min before Sussman walked across the street to give him the evidence....
The whole fucking thing was planned.
It would be like one bankrobber wearing a mask in a private room with the other bankrobber even though they know each other... It's immaterial...
Doesn't mean I don't think Sussman took part in a lie to the FBI because he did!! Everyone on the Hillary team took part in that lie.
There's more. Durham has all of Sussman's billing statements. Billing records showed Sussmann charged his time for working the Alfa Bank hoax—including the time he spent meeting with the FBI’s General Counsel Baker—to the Clinton campaign. In fact, late last week, the jury in the Sussmann case learned that Sussmann even charged the Clinton campaign for two thumb drives purchased at Staples used for the Alfa Bank project.
Except at this point in time, only one bankrobber was being charged for lying to the FBI. The other isn't right now. More to come though.
yes, I'm aware of all the billing statements and everything.
But that is not evidence that he lied, only evidence that he was doing it for Hillary, which we already know.
It still comes down to if he lied Baker, and that lie tricked Baker into opening the investigation.
And the ONLY evidence for the above charge was Baker's testimony.
Baker admitted that he knew Sussman worked for Hillary, and also admitted meeting with that team many times with the Crossfire Hurricane investigation.
Remember also that Sussman and Baker are friends, their families have ties, got to same church, and kids are friends. They communicate outside of work. They are a family.
You don't find it strange they are still best friends? If a friend of yours came into your office and tricked you into opening an investigation on false pretenses, causing you to lose your job and be under investigation for years, there would be no animosity?
please... this was all planned out in advance... Baker knew what was happening when Sussman walked into the office. He already knew what Sussman was bringing to him, so he didn't record any of that handoff, which is also against standard operating practices.
Even if I am wrong... If I can be convinced of this by Sussman's lawyers, don't you think 8 democrats could be as well? There was even an admitted Trump hater on the jury and in the deliberation room, so this thing really had no chance.
One more quick question to ask yourself....
What if Baker had a conversation with Elias over the phone, and Elias asked Baker if he would lie to the Bureau to get the investigation opened.
Baker tells Elias to send a patsy by the office with the evidence, and he'll do the rest...
So Elias sends Sussman over with the evidence, and says nothing about working for Hillary.... What this entire plan was concocted by Elias and Baker?
Plausible? FUCK YES its not just plausible, there was a lot of testimony in the trial that came out that could support it.
Is Sussman guilty if that took place?
It doesn't matter how factual this is. The question is it relevant to the charge made against Sussman. No.
It appears the FBI had an office at Perkin Coie. Is it relevant to the charge against Sussman? No.
There's more to come though with more indictments. The FBI looks like they have some 'splainin' to do.
I'm not convinced there are more indictments to come. Could be, or maybe they knew it was a long shot, but needed to at least show an attempt convicting someone since he's spent years on it.
It's possible these Lawyers covered their tracks well enough to allude justice.
