Trump Transition data was passed to the CIA

We also asked why Joffe and Sussmann continued to push false allegations of Trump's ties to Russia after the election.

One could theorize that they made the Trump/Russia connection in the summer and fall of 2016 to hurt Trump politically.

It's within the realm of possibilities that they wanted to continue to damage Trump, as this was the general goal of the political and bureaucratic establishment during the Trump years - especially in the early period, when Trump's political power and his ability to implement his agenda would be at its height.

Or, perhaps Sussmann and Joffe wanted to spur additional intelligence community investigations into Trump.

If Sussmann's attorney is telling the truth, then we suspect the Executive Office of the President data included that from the 74 day the Trump transition period - which would still be spying on the incoming Trump Administration.

First, Charlie Savage of the New York Times noted that the data from the Executive Office of the President "Came from Barack Obama's presidency." That's a curious way of saying the transition period - especially when the data involved those associated with Trump.

Second, Philip Bump over at the Washington Post condemned the reaction to the Durham allegations and claimed "It's not clear that it was or that it was used for any reason other than normal tracking of potential threats." To say that, Bump must ignore the political motivations of Sussmann and Joffe, and disregard the findings that these allegations they brought - whether to the FBI or the CIA - were found to be baseless.
