Apparently John Durham is alive!
A lawyer working at Perkins Coie — the law firm that represented Hillary Clinton’s campaign — has been indicted by a grand jury empaneled by John Durham, the special counsel appointed by the Trump administration to look into the Russiagate investigation. Michael Sussmann, a partner at Perkins Coie who represented the Democratic National Committee on the issue of its supposed 2016 hacking by Russia, had approached the FBI on September 19, 2016, to present supposed evidence of collusion between the Trump Organization and a Russian bank (Alfa Bank). Sussman lied at the time, telling the FBI that he was not approaching them with this evidence on behalf of a client, but purely on his own initiative, as a good citizen who had come into the possession of information about foreign interference.
The 27-page indictment paints a compelling picture that Sussmann had coordinated his approach to the FBI with an unnamed tech executive and with the Clinton Campaign itself, spending hours preparing for the meeting, and billing those hours to the Clinton Campaign, and later to a tech executive, who “exploited his access to non-public data at multiple Internet companies to conduct opposition research concerning Trump.”
