What Sussmann Told the CIA. The first memorandum, dated January 31, 2017, summarized what Sussmann told a former CIA employee in hopes of scoring a meeting with the CIA. Sussmann said his client "Had some interesting information about the presence and activity of a unique Russian made phone around President Trump." Sussmann claimed the activity started in April 2016 when Trump was working out of the Trump Tower on its Wi-Fi network.
According to the notes, Sussmann also told his contact that "The phone was never noticed in two places at once" and was seen "Only around the President's movement." The memo noted that once, when Trump was not in Trump Tower, the phone was active on the Trump Tower WiFi network.
"In December 2016, the phone disappeared from Trump Tower Wi Fi network and surfaced on network," the memorandum said, with Sussmann claiming it was the same Yotaphone and that it "Surfaced" at the Executive Office Building after Trump moved to the White House.
To further push for the CIA meeting, Sussmann then stressed that, given that he is "An experienced attorney with full clearances and lots of [redacted] experience, he believes that this client is telling the truth as he knows it." "He cares about the security of the country" and wanted the CIA "To know about the Yotaphone activity close to the President," Sussmann claimed.
That data, Sussmann told the CIA agents, related to DNS information, "Indicat[ed] that a Russian-made Yota-phone had been seen by connecting to the WiFi from the Trump Tower in New York, as well as a from a location in Michigan, at the same time that then-candidate Trump was believed to be at these locations."
According to the special counsel, was Sussmann's claim during his February 9, 2017 meeting with the CIA that "One of his contacts," who was a "Clearance holder," had collected the data from his "Private collection." While that may have been true about the data collected for the Trump Tower, Trump's Central Park West apartment building, and Spectrum Health, the data related to the EOP was accessed and maintained by Joffe's employer "As part of a sensitive arrangement whereby it provided DNS resolution services to the EOP.".
While the special counsel's office did not charge Sussmann with making a false statement to the CIA, Durham's team seeks to present evidence of Sussmann's representations to the CIA as evidence of his motive and intent to also deceive the FBI. But the scandal here goes much beyond Sussmann, and the Yotaphone hoax far surpasses what the public seems to realize-and represents yet another instance of Trump's enemies spying on him.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
