Here we get a bird's eye view of how Fusion GPS seeds fake stories in the US Fake News media.

The 'reporter' actually sends a partial draft of his Alfa Bank story to the Fusion GPS person for their review.

Not surprisingly, Fusion GPS's lawyers are trying to have all of Glenn Simpson and Peter Fritsch's emails with the other plotters about the Alfa Bank hoax excluded from the evidence.

Durham is making the same argument for admissibility here that he is making for the Perkins Coie/Neustar/GT emails.

Here's a good section where the Durham SCO team's argument is summarized.

Sussmann's lawyers are going to try to have all the emails, billing records, text messages, etc. excluded.

Durham is anticipating that objection and preempting it by showing they are all admissible under the 'joint venture doctrine'.

The media reporter that Sussmann and "Researcher 2" spoke with was Slate's Franklin Foer.

This is the article that Slate published from Foer on October 31, 2016.

WHOA.

If I'm reading this right, this is saying that "UK Person-1" who is CHRISTOPHER STEELE was involved in the Alfa Bank Hoax, tasked with researching Alfa Bank and producing intelligence reports on it for Fusion GPS. Which he did.

This means Steele was directly involved in BOTH major Clinton campaign Trump/Russia hoaxes, the Steele Dossier hoax and the Alfa Bank hoax.

The CEO that Neustar VP Rodney Joffe tasked with spying on these Trump associates and their family members was "highly uncomfortable" with the task he was given - but he complied.

The code name given to this private spying project targeting Trump and his close associates and their family members was "Crimson Rhino".

Rodney Joffe then gave the same Trump Associates List of spying targets to the researchers at Georgia Technical.

"the Trump Associates List" didn't include just General Flynn, Paul Manafort, Michael Cohen, Carter Page, Stephen Bannon, etc. but also their spouses and other family members.

Hillary Clinton's private spies were spying on the families of these Trump associates.

"Campaign Lawyer-1" is Marc Elias.

"Dear God, please don't make me have to testify!"

"acting in concert towards a common goal" could also be described as a 'conspiracy'.

If the common goal involves committing criminal acts to achieve it, then it could be accurately described as a "criminal conspiracy".

Trump and his legal team are going to quickly make use of this section of Durham's latest filing, as it lays out how The Clinton campaign, The DNC, Perkins Coie, Fusion GPS, Neustar and GT all worked in concert to achieve the common goal of vilifying candidate Donald Trump by inventing a Russian collusion scandal to be used against him by both the news media and federal agencies.

It's an organized RICO case.

Should be noted that Hillary Clinton via her campaign & the DNC was paying these private cyber contractors to spy on Trump during the 2016 Presidential campaign, and the spying started in two specific places: Trump Tower and Trump's Central Park West apartment building.

The private contractors working for Clinton didn't start spying on Trump in EOP until after the transition had begun and then after he had assumed office.

Sussmann's lie to Baker was always in writing.

There was a text message and Durham held it back until now.
Forwarded from Brian Cates (Brian Cates)
WHOA.

New evidence included in this new Durham filing.

THERE'S A TEXT MESSAGE THAT SUSSMANN SENT TO BAKER.

And in that text message...Sussmann writes down the lie that he's reaching out to set up this meeting completely on his own - he's not doing it for any client or company.
