Clinton campaign paid to 'infiltrate' Trump Tower, White House servers to link Trump to Russia: Durham

[Geee]

Fox News

First on Fox: Lawyers for the Clinton campaign paid a technology company to "infiltrate" servers belonging to Trump Tower, and later the White House, in order to establish an "inference" and "narrative" to bring to government agencies linking Donald Trump to Russia, a filing from Special Counsel John Durham says.

Durham filed a motion on Feb. 11 focused on potential conflicts of interest related to the representation of former Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussman, who has been charged with making a false statement to a federal agent. Sussman has pleaded not guilty.

The indictment against Sussman says he told then-FBI General Counsel James Baker in September 2016, less than two months before the 2016 presidential election, that he was not doing work "for any client" when he requested and held a meeting in which he presented "purported data and 'white papers' that allegedly demonstrated a covert communications channel" between the Trump Organization and Alfa Bank, which has ties to the Kremlin.

Durham makes allegations that make Watergate look like small potatoes

On Friday, Special Counsel John Durham filed with the D.C. Federal District Court a what should have been a boring conflict of interest motion, but it hid a surprise: The Clinton campaign, through Perkins Coie, spied on Trump both before and after he was president. The following is an plain English-language summary of relevant parts of the motion:

Michael Sussman was a partner at Law Firm-1 (i.e., Perkins Coie). He met with the FBI General Counsel (i.e., James Baker), and offered data and “white papers” purporting to show that Trump was communicating covertly with a Russia-based bank (i.e., Alfa-Bank). Mueller, incidentally, had to admit this was untrue.

Durham indicted Sussman because he allegedly told Baker that he was not divulging this information for a client. In fact, he was acting for at least two clients: the Clinton campaign and “Tech Executive-1” (i.e., Rodney Joffe), who worked at a “U.S.-based internet company” (i.e., Neustar Inc., a federal contractor).

As part of his work on the Clinton campaign, Sussman repeatedly met and communicated both with Joffe and with “another law partner” who was “Campaign Lawyer-1.” (I guess we can await that indictment soon....)

Beginning in July 2016, Joffe began to work with (1) Sussman, (2) an investigation firm that Perkins Coie hired for the Clinton campaign, (3) cyber researchers, and (4) “employees at multiple Internet companies” to assemble the data handed to James Baker. To do so, Joffe exploited access to private and/or proprietary internet data. He even coopted researchers at a U.S. university who were receiving lots of internet data as part of a cybersecurity research contract that was pending with the feds. (The Conservative Treehouse says the university is Georgia Tech and it was a DARPA contract.)

Ya know I really don't blame The Clinton's.  I mean they have been getting away with this kind of crap for over 40 years. They have got to be thinking, Why Should This Be Any Different. This is what They Do.

I don't know about murder though I wouldn't put it passed them Other than that, it's a crime family.

There is something Michael Franzese says in his podcast, (I paraphrase) "If The Feds want you, they'll get you. They just have too may tools to get you. It's not like the old days."

Which causes me to ask a question about The Clinton's.

Grassley, Johnson say DOJ 'failed' to follow order to declassify Trump-Russia records, demand production

FIRST ON FOX: Senate Republicans are blasting Attorney General Merrick Garland, saying he has "failed" to follow former President Donald Trump's order for the Justice Department to declassify all records related to the FBI’s original Trump-Russia probe, and demanding that he "produce those records to Congress and the American people without improper redactions."

"We remain concerned that over one year from the date then-President Trump directed the Justice Department to declassify certain Crossfire Hurricane records the Justice Department has not only failed to declassify a single page, the Department has failed to identify for Congress records that it knows with certainty to be covered by the declassification directive," Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, and Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., wrote in a Tuesday letter to Garland, which was obtained by Fox News.

No spying on Trump? 35 times Big Media lied

In his latest court filings, special counsel John Durham isn’t just taking down team Clinton’s wall of defense against charges of spying on Donald Trump during the 2016 campaign, but he’s revealing just how vigorously the liberal media worked to hold that wall up.

Over five years, news personalities on the "Big Three" networks and left-leaning cable channels repeatedly dismissed the charges. “There was no spying” was heard as often as Trump’s claim of “fake news.”

 

But now that Durham has suggested a pattern of spying on Trump’s home, campaign, and White House, media critics such as the Media Research Center are reminding the public just how much the pro-Clinton media lathered on the “no spying” lie.

The frightening breadth and unaccountability of the deep state

A Big Tech executive conspired with a top research university and Hillary Clinton’s campaign to spy on presidential candidate Donald Trump.

That, all on its own, is bad enough. But it is much worse that the spying continued into Trump’s term in office. It included the exploitation of data from the Executive Office of the President. That this could occur, and that it should go unpunished so long, should frighten everyone.

 

Last September, special counsel John Durham indicted Democratic National Committee and Clinton Foundation lawyer Michael Sussmann on charges of lying to the FBI. Durham’s indictment revealed a broad conspiracy whereby a “Technology Executive 1” (reported to be Neustar Senior Vice President Rodney Joffe) used his access to nonpublic internet information to collect domain name system data on candidate Trump.

Joffe then enlisted researchers at a “U.S.-based university” (reportedly Georgia Tech) who were working on a “federal government cybersecurity research contract” (reported to be the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) that helped Joffe analyze the stolen data. Joffe and his researcher friends then produced a white paper, with Sussmann’s help, that made the (later debunked) allegation that Trump was involved in a nefarious relationship with “Russian Bank-1” (reported to be Russia’s Alfa Bank).

New Report Implicates Biden Campaign In Clinton Spying Scandal, Democrat Press Says Right Wing LIES. Biden's campaign reportedly paid the same firm nearly $20,000

Democrats and their media allies are rejecting reports that the Clinton Campaign was involved in spying on Trump as a candidate and at the white house.

The story becomes especially confusing depending on what source you read.

The new York times calls it fake news, The Wall Street Journal says its a fact.

Either way conflict in this country is escalating

Don't Pop the Champagne — Hillary Isn't Going to Jail

Hillary isn’t going to be perp-walked into federal prison for spying on Trump.

 

I hope I’m wrong. I would love nothing more than to have someone rub my pointed, elf-like nose in this prediction one year from now.

“Ha, KDJ, you IDIOT! YOU said the Hilldabeast wasn’t going to prison, and you were WRONG, dolt!”

I would pay-per-view to see Hillary in her orange Armani jumpsuit, drunk and hissing as they lead her to the hoosegow, slowly turning back into a lizard.

It’s not going to happen. The leftists didn’t empty the jails and prisons to make room for their queen bee.  Liberals won’t allow violent and/or repeat offenders to go to the skookum house, knowing full well those criminals will attack more innocent victims. There is no way they’ll lock up their Queen of Sleaze.

Domestic terrorist Darrell Brooks ran over 62 white people late last year in Waukesha, Wis. He SHOULD have been in jail after running over his girlfriend. He SHOULD have been kept there when a risk assessment test determined Brooks was likely to commit more crimes. But the local DA, John Chisholm, was happy to let him go, knowing full well that his bail reform nonsense would get people killed. Lefties look out for their own.

While the left is eager to round up meemaws who were let into the Capitol, they fight just as hard to keep their people out.

Jan. 6 buffalo horns guy Jacob Chansley got 41 months in federal prison for his stroll through the Capitol. Mohamed Hussein Abdi, 20, was given probation for trying to burn down a school during a riot for Saintly George Floyd.

Former Trump campaign aide George Papadopoulos slams original Russia probe as 'master class in deception'

EXCLUSIVE: Former Trump campaign foreign policy adviser George Papadopoulos, reacting to Special Counsel John Durham’s latest filing, told Fox News in an exclusive interview that the original Trump-Russia probe was about "manufacturing a situation" around Donald Trump and his associates in an effort to tie them to the Kremlin, calling activities surrounding the origins of the investigation a "masterclass in deception."

Durham, in a Feb. 11 court filing, first reported by Fox News, alleged "Tech Executive-1," now identified as Rodney Joffe, and his associates, including a lawyer for Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign, Michael Sussmann, "exploited" internet traffic pertaining to a "particular healthcare provider," Trump Tower, Trump’s Central Park West apartment building, and the Executive Office of the President of the United States in order to "establish ‘an inference’ and ‘narrative’" to then bring to federal government agencies tying Trump to Russia.

 

"This was literally about manufacturing a situation around Trump and his people that made it seem as if all of them, including the president and his family, were somehow colluding or in the works with the Russians," Papadopoulos told Fox News Wednesday.

"What we’re witnessing was a masterclass in deception, propaganda and trade craft," Papadopoulos said. "In this case, I think there were so many vested interests in a Hillary Clinton presidency—that’s why you see all of these actors activated the way they were."

John Durham stands by snooping evidence in case against Democratic lawyer

Jerry Dunleavy, Justice Department Reporter

February 17, 2022 07:02 PM

Updated Feb 18, 2022

Special counsel John Durham is contesting indicted Democratic lawyer Michael Sussmann’s call for the Washington, D.C., federal court to strike explosive allegations regarding data mining at Trump properties and the White House that the prosecutor says was used to weave a phony collusion narrative between former President Donald Trump and Russia.

A filing from Durham on Thursday argued that his reasons for making public findings asserting that a tech executive, with whom Sussmann was affiliated, was working to dig up dirt on Trump were “valid” and that any media misinterpretations do not “undermine” the facts.

Sussmann, a Democratic cybersecurity lawyer, was indicted last year for allegedly concealing his clients, including Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign, from the FBI when he pushed since-debunked claims of a secret backchannel between the Trump Organization and Russia’s Alfa Bank. Durham revealed last week that he has evidence that Sussmann’s other client, known to be former Neustar executive Rodney Joffe, “exploited” domain name system internet traffic at Trump Tower, Trump’s Central Park West apartment building, and the Executive Office of the President.

In seeking to convince a federal judge to throw out the revelations from the special counsel, Sussmann's legal team argued this week that Durham’s Friday filing included false and irrelevant allegations "plainly intended to politicize this case, inflame media coverage, and taint the jury pool." Durham flatly retorted Thursday, “That is simply not true.”

War over Trump spying

Byron York, Chief Political Correspondent

February 18, 2022

WAR OVER TRUMP SPYING. Anyone who has followed political journalism for more than a minute or two could predict how some big outlets would cover the revelation that operatives connected to the Hillary Clinton campaign spied on the Trump campaign. Once legacy media journalists saw the story reported on Fox News, and especially when they saw former President Donald Trump promoting it, they immediately thought: How can we knock this down?

Normally, when news breaks — and the spying information was contained in a court filing by Justice Department special counsel John Durham — a news organization first reports the news. Then it might publish one or more analysis pieces, reaction pieces, and follow-up stories. But first, they report the news.

That didn't happen this time. The New York Times, for example, skipped the news story and went straight to the analysis. And it was really more analysis and commentary, with this lengthy and oddly worded headline: "Court Filing Started a Furor in Right-Wing Outlets, but Their Narrative Is Off Track; The latest alarmist claims about spying on Trump appeared to be flawed, but the explanation is byzantine — underlining the challenge for journalists in deciding what merits coverage."

(Snip)

Here's the key: Directing attention to "right-wing" coverage of the Durham filing allows some media outlets to ignore the substance of Durham's filing. But it does not change the substance of Durham's filing. And in the future, the special counsel will undoubtedly reveal more about what really happened.
