With Clinton lawyer charged, the Russiagate scam is now under indictment

In accusing Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann of lying to the FBI, Special Counsel John Durham offers new evidence of the fabrications behind the Trump-Russia conspiracy theory.

The indictment of Hillary Clinton attorney Michael Sussmann offers new evidence that the Trump-Russia conspiracy theory that engulfed Trump's term in office was itself the product of fabrications involving Clinton's 2016 campaign.

Although Sussmann faces just one count on a false statement charge, the 27-page charging document offers an expansive window into how the Russiagate scam began, and how Democratic operatives, intelligence officials, and establishment media figures dishonestly fed it to the public.

Sussmann, until recently an attorney with Clinton campaign law firm Perkins Coie, is the second person to be charged by John Durham, the Special Counsel scrutinizing the Russia investigation.

The meeting with the FBI's Baker, for example, was charged to the Clinton campaign as "Work and communications regarding confidential project." In fact, according to Durham, "All or nearly all" of Sussmann's work on the Alfa Bank story prior to meeting Baker was "Billed to the Clinton campaign."

Maddow in 2018 to Dexter Filkins on his and Foer's stories about secret Trump-Russian bank contacts - a DNC-funded scam that is now subject to a federal indictment.

With the Steele dossier now widely discredited and Sussmann's indictment adding new details of a related deception, the Clinton campaign is now connected to yet one more documented scam in a sprawling effort to plant Trump-Russia conspiracy theories in the media and trigger federal investigative activity.
