Last week, we reported that Special Counsel John Durham had indicted the former Hillary Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann for lying to the FBI during the early stages of his investigation into the handling of the Trump-Russia probe.
Now, former Department of Justice Chief of Staff Kash Patel is revealing the major theory that he’s come up with in the wake of this development. Patel explained that the probe into the Clinton campaign is developing a “very well laid-out conspiracy charge” against those involved.
“I was the lead investigator for [House Homeland Security Committee] Chairman Devin Nunes, driving the Russia investigation on Capitol Hill, and I was actually the staffer that took the deposition that cited Durham’s indictment, so, I’m intimately familiar with this,” Patel said.
“[Michael] Sussman is the centerpiece for these allegations because he ties the Hillary Clinton campaign to Fusion GPS to Christopher Steele to the Department of Justice and the false information they fed to the FBI and DOJ to spy on the presidential campaign,” he continued.
“It’s exactly the heart of the matter being a former federal prosecutor. It’s a 27-page indictment for a lying count that you normally have about five pages to discuss. It is a very well laid-out conspiracy charge that outlines other figures involved that I just mentioned,” Patel concluded.

This comes after Sussman was hit with a single felony count of making a false statement during a September 2016 meeting with FBI General Counsel James Baker. Durham’s team alleges that he lied by denying that he was representing any client, telling the FBI about digital evidence that allegedly linked computers in Trump Tower to Russia’s Alfa Bank.
“During the meeting, Sussmann lied about the capacity in which he was providing the allegations to the FBI,” the indictment stated, according to NBC News. “Specifically, Sussmann stated falsely that he was not doing his work on the aforementioned allegations ‘for any client,’ which led the FBI General Counsel to understand that Sussmann was acting as a good citizen merely passing along information, not as a paid advocate or political operative.”
“In fact, Sussmann acted on behalf of specific clients, namely a U.S. Technology Industry Executive, a U.S. Internet Company and the Hillary Clinton Presidential Campaign,” it added, going on to say that the lie was material because it misled the FBI “about the political nature of his work.”
Sussman’s lawyers have denied that he ever made these statements. It will undoubtedly be interesting to see how this all plays out.

The good ol American Just-Us system will prevail
When Pigs learn to Fly!!
If your salary is so good, take it to a place meant for advertising, and quit freeloading here.
I’ve got nothing against Sussman, so if he wants to flip on Hillary and crew and let them take the fall – and do some prison time – I’d be glad to let him take a walk.
Even if they prove everything Hillary did, nothing will ever come of it. She is a Demonrat and everything is legal with them. I certainly hope when the mid terms come around the Republicans will take total control. If that happens we all need to hold their feet to the fire to go after these criminals.
Just looking at hillary’s picture, WOW!! that is ONE UGLY woman. and getting worse by the minute. This POS is NOT ONLY ugly inside but also outside. Fry this disgusting so called human once and for all, take her and her entire family DOWN, they deserve it.
Hillaryis a democrat ! She knows Democrats don’t face responsibility !
hitlery is a snake!!!
This, by Att. Durham’s LONG Investigation is ‘all well and good, BUT this Needs to be fully exposed and show that Obama as president-used His CIA Director, Brennen to do HIS Bidding and all the Other Intel Agencies at Obama’s disposal-HE did NOT want Hillary to Lose, ‘put in the FIX for HER win to continue their agenda for globalism/elitism wherein, THEY become Our Ruling Class and American citizens are their Peons
This goes ALL the way up to and Including Obama, who has NEVER stopped trying to ‘oust, first Campaigner, Trump then POTUS Trump. Obama’s fawning Liberal Media, made sure to keep the attacks on Trump 24/7, and they Lied at every turn-including against anyone who Trump talked to on joining his administration. Let’s see IF Att. Durham is NOT going to give us ‘limp, lip service and take down some lowly attorney-IF he doesn’t cover this Honestly and Fully to include those who w/the FBI/CIA/Intel people who ‘Joined Obama in taking DOWN POTUS TRUMP-then Att. Durham is just like “A.G. Barr, who did NOTHING to pursue the criminal actions of ALL-Including the TOP GUNS, as Barr was ‘protecting His Pals in the Democrat Party!
I will be shocked if anything happens to anybody. Besides if this were to change anything for President Trump it should of come out over two years ago.
All I want to say “IT IS ABOUT TIME, JUST HOPE SHE GET’S HER DUES”!
HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE BYE BYE HITLER HILLARY. REMEMBER BENGHAZI.
Nothing will happen to Sillary Blimpton. Durham is just running out the Statute of Limitations clock.
Actually he beat the clock on this one. Which in turn opens the flood gates for more to follow.
More distraction from the King Barrie Obama / Biden COVID SCANDAL!!!!!
Nothing is gonna be doen about Hi;;ary the evil witch of the south! At least not while she is still alive!
Wicked Hillary is fearful not for herself but for the fall of her operatives. That is the web of her evil works are being destroyed. Her legacy of evil is being ruined.
I’ll believe nothing will happen to Hillary and that the “FIX” was in a long time ago, starting with Comey’s trying, and exonerating her, when that was above his pay grade, and with no real trial taking place. I wish Durham a lot of luck, am hopeful, but am not expecting anything.
Will it ever stop you write these stories say something will happen but it never does and you don’t pursue it.
When will this vilianous, treasonous, criminal b*tch be brought to justice? Probaably not in her lifetime, but she will be held to account by Almighty God.
