Special counsel, Democratic lawyer clash over new allegations regarding data purported to tie Trump
There will be hearing on Michael Sussmann's motion that could lead to the dismissal of Durham's rather sad indictment of Mr. Sussmann. Durhanm's pleadings are crap and this indictment should be dismissed

A former lawyer for the Democratic Party indicted by special counsel John Durham for allegedly lying to the FBI has accused Durham's office of leveling false allegations that he claims are intended to politicize his case.
Michael Sussmann, a cybersecurity lawyer who previously worked for Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign, was charged last year by Durham for allegedly lying to the then-FBI general counsel James Baker in a July 2016 meeting where Sussmann provided information about data that he said showed a strange link between the Trump Organization and Russia's Alfa Bank -- an allegation later investigated by the FBI but determined not to be nefarious.......
Late Monday, Sussmann's attorneys responded to Durham's new filing, accusing him of making "false" allegations that "are plainly intended to politicize this case, inflame media coverage, and taint the jury pool."
Sussmann's attorneys also dispute what they say appears to be Durham's leading theory, that Sussmann was acting in concert with the Clinton campaign when he took the DNS data to the CIA in February of 2017.
"...the Motion conveniently overlooks the fact that Mr. Sussmann's meeting with Agency-2 happened well after the 2016 presidential election, at a time when the Clinton Campaign had effectively ceased to exist," Sussmann's attorneys say in their filing. "Unsurprisingly, the Motion also omits any mention of the fact that Mr. Sussmann never billed the Clinton Campaign for the work associated with the February 9, 2017 meeting, nor could he have (because there was no Clinton Campaign)."
