‘Bigfoot’ Durham sighted
Quote:
Special Counsel John Durham “will ask a grand jury to indict” former DNC/Clinton campaign lawyer (and Perkins Coie partner) Michael Sussman for giving false statements. The false statement charges would relate to a September 19, 2016 meeting FBI lawyer James Baker had with Sussman, where Sussman relayed to the FBI the discredited theory that the Trump Organization was communicating with Alfa Bank.
The New York Times states:
Mr. Baker, the former F.B.I. lawyer, is said to have told investigators that he recalled Mr. Sussmann saying that he was not meeting him on behalf of any client.
This was contradicted by (1) Sussman’s testimony to Congress; and (2) Sussman’s own billing records. Sussman’s lawyers acknowledged “they expected him to be indicted.”

1. Far too little, far too late.
2. Perkins Coie is probably the foremost example of legalized criminality in the United States today. Anytime one of its consiglieri is held to account for their actions, is a victory for decency in public life, just as a matter of principle. Even when (as here) it will have no political impact.

While I agree with point 1, I'm betting he'll have all the evidence he needs vs Mueller who spent all this money and time and didn't have anything.
