There's more. Durham has all of Sussman's billing statements. Billing records showed Sussmann charged his time for working the Alfa Bank hoaxโincluding the time he spent meeting with the FBIโs General Counsel Bakerโto 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.
