Since his appointment by Attorney General Jeff Sessions in March 2017 to head up a multi-faceted investigation into Deep State operatives, the enigmatic presence of Special Counsel Attorney John Durham has left many of us on the edge of our seats for the last 5 years.
The first signs of life out of the Durham investigation appeared one year ago with the indictment of former FBI lawyer, Kevin Clinesmith, who was charged for doctoring “an email from the CIA that was subsequently relied upon in the FBI’s FISA applications seeking authority to surveil Carter Page after he left the Trump Campaign” (Source: https://www.justsecurity.org/71647/what-durham-is-investigating-and-why-it-poses-a-danger-to-us-intelligence-analysis/). We now know who the likely subject was that Inspector General Michael Horowitz had recommended to Durham for prosecution following his 2019 Report on the Four FISA Applications and the FBI’s Crossfire Hurricane Investigation (Source: https://www.justice.gov/storage/120919-examination.pdf).
Finally, just when we thought justice was about to be served and hell unleashed on the Deep State, we were left in the dark once again as Durham apparently re-submerged into the dark waters of the D.C. swamp pulling out another rat in former Clinton campaign lawyer, Michael Sussman.
The indictment charge filed on September 16, 2021, reads as follows:
“Sussman’s statement to the FBI General Counsel that he was not acting on behalf of any client was knowingly and intentionally false. In truth and in fact, and as SUSSMAN well knew, SUSSMANN acted on behalf of and in coordination with two specific clients of [Perkins Coie], Tech Executive-1 and the Clinton Campaign, in assembling and conveying these allegations.”
While Sussman, who represented the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign in 2016, was indicted for making false statements to the FBI in their investigation into the Trump/Russia probe, let us not forget his connections to Perkins Coie, the D.C. law firm that we now know helped serve as the go-between for payment for the Steele Dossier on behalf of the Clinton campaign which was used to drum up “dirt” on the Trump/Russia collusion narrative and which also served as the basis for fraudulently obtaining the FISA warrant that allowed the Obama administration to conduct its illegal surveillance on newly-elected Trump’s campaign headquarters in New York.
Quick anecdote…
It’s around this same time that Admiral Michael Rogers, then director of the NSA, who was aware of the wire-tapping by the Obama administration broke with ranks and on November 17, 2016, and went to meet with President-elect Trump in New York to notify him that his offices were being tapped. Immediately following this meeting with President Trump, then Director of National Intelligence, James Baker, called for the removal of Rogers from his post at the NSA. However, that never happened and Admiral Rogers submitted his retirement on January 5, 2018.
It wasn’t until March 4, 2017 – 43 days in office – that President Trump tweeted the following:
Terrible! Just found out that Obama had my “wires tapped” in Trump Tower just before the victory. Nothing found. This is McCarthyism!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 4, 2017
As Former U.S. Attorney and FISA Court Judge Joe DiGenova said: “[Rogers] discovered the illegal spying. He went personally to the FISA Court and briefed the Chief Judge and worked with her for months to uncover the people who did it. The FISA Court has already told the Justice department who lied to that court and that has been given to [Attorney General] Bill Barr already” (Source: https://www.worldtribune.com/who-is-adm-mike-rogers-unsung-hero-alerted-president-trump-to-illegal-spying/).
If Barr was given that information, do you not think for a moment that John Durham doesn’t have this information? Who are you kidding? Of course he does!
It’s worth noting that while Sussman is the one being indicted, it’s interesting that former Clinton lawyer, Marc Elias, conveniently decided to step aside from his post at Perkins Coie in August to start his own law firm with 10 other Perkins Coie associates. Surely, nothing to see here! In addition to his involvement with the Clintons, Elias was also heavily involved on behalf of the Democrats in their attempt to stall the Arizona forensic audit from Day One.
There’s lots to be gleaned from Elias’ departure from Perkins Coie and Durham’s indictment of Sussman is the key to Pandora’s box. Legal blogger “Shipwreckedcrew” (Click here to read full blog article) provides some solid commentary and insights into the likely “bloody” legal battle that ensued behind the scenes, which proved Durham the ultimate victor.
It seems Perkins Coie may have been attempting to save face by possibly cooperating with Durham’s investigation by parting ways with Elias and Sussman before the indictment dropped.
Shipwreckedcrew continues his commentary on the backroom legal battles:
“There is NO WAY the clients of Perkins Coie agreed to waive privilege and let PC hand over billing records, emails and other comms to Durham,” Cates says, “YET ALL THESE RECORDS ARE CITED IN THE SUSSMANN INDICTMENT. Durham…obviously…has…them….You know what this means? It means a years long bloody tooth-and-nail-bayonet-the-wounded fight involving multiple federal grand juries played out in utter secrecy without anything leaking. And Durham won it.”
In a post on his Telegram, political investigative journalist, and guru of all things Trump/Russia scandal, Brian Cates provides some valuable insights: “The Clinton campaign, the DNC, Fusion GPS…all their Perkins Coie records were the subject of what must have been a years-long bloody court fight…and it never leaked and none of these people with their vaunted inside sources even knew this had been happening or that Durham had won this fight and got access to the documents. “Nothing’s happening” was always not true. A lot was happening. They just didn’t tell you and they kept it out of sight.”
Cates: “It’s assumed by a lot of people if someone like Durham filed to get these records from Perkins Coie, the intense and nasty court fight would be one of the biggest public court dramas ever, made for primetime TV as the Clinton campaign, the DNC & Fusion GPS fought like doomed Spartans to keep these records sealed and away from Durham. AND THIS IS COMPLETELY WRONG. NONE of this fight would have been allowed to break the surface. It all had to be conducted in utter secrecy. These rulings and filings AREN’T EVEN ALLOWED TO APPEAR ON THE COURT DOCKET.”
Wow! Still wondering if anything is happening?
Clearly, there’s a lot more under this rock and Sussman is merely the tip of the iceberg in Durham’s investigation. Let’s also not forget that in 2019, U.S. Attorney John Huber turned over the work of his investigation into the Clinton Foundation to Durham under then Attorney General Bill Barr. Sussman, in my opinion, is the light emanating from the keyhole of the door that leads to the crimes of the Clinton Foundation and its accomplices. The fact that virtually no leaks have come out on this investigation when leaks in the D.C. swamp happen frequently like a rusty faucet is very telling.
While we have grown accustomed to a 2-tiered justice system, there’s still plenty of room in all of this to play the cynic. However, we can’t deny that the appetizer Durham has served up for us in the Sussman indictment is a clear sign of blood in the water. Any wonder why the Democrats are panicked? It’s looking like this will be the “year of the boomerang” for the Dems. Just when they thought they had rid themselves of Trump in the 2020 election to continue their march of executing their plan for the Great Reset, it’s all coming back to haunt them in the most powerful way. As the world slowly awakens to the lies and deceit of the globalist crime syndicate here in the U.S. and abroad, Trump remains waiting patiently in the wings ready to deliver the knockout blow.
Nothing can stop what’s coming.
