Hope to see some movement today
Last week, FEC dumped docs re Clinton campaign & DNC's reporting Fusion GPS expenses as "legal expenses." And @DanBackerEsq was right: Docs help Durham's case of no attorney-client priv. in Sussmann case. @FDRLST https://t.co/dQtJ1Tbr8L

As the article points out, the pass through payments by Perkins Coie to Fusion GPS were for opposition research, having nothing to do with legal advice. Hence, the decision by the FEC and the agreement by DNC and HFA not to contest the finding of probable cause are relevant,

The FEC filings represented that all payments to PC were for legal expenses. The FEC concluded that probable cause existed that they were not. As @ProfMJCleveland ‘s article explains, there was evidence and FEC policy to support that finding.

What went on regarding the concealment if Fusion’s and Steele’s work for theDNC and HFA fits the definition of crime/fraud when it comes to any analysis of whether any privilege still maintains. It will be interesting to see whether Durham or the court follows this logic.

The FEC matched Fusion GPS payments to its "sub vendors" - including Nellie Ohr.

Finding: there is no evidence "provided services other than this opposition research."
Big loss incoming for Hillary/DNC.

So are the documents the release that prompted the Roe leak? or is it something in the Pfizer docs?

The original decision in Roe was leaked to Time in 1973.

Secondly, do y'all realize a 1 1/2 weeks from now we'll start the Sussman trial (glory be). Can't wait for that play-by-play.
Can we get one of our own to report from the court room? Nice time of the year to be in DC.
Lastly, is there a good time, or an ideal time, to issue indictments to someone? I'm asking because of the obvious, I'm hoping for more indictments---preferable the entire Dem Party!!
Maybe. I will believe the Sussman trial happens when I can see it.fasthorse05 said:First of all, wow! Had no idea.RiskManager93 said:

The Durham Motion to Compel testimony from Laura Seago is the conferral of "Formal Immunity" from DOJ that overcomes her Fifth Amendment right. The Court will order her to testify under threat of contempt -- jail --is she refuses. 18 USC Sec. 6003.

UPDATE - Durham won the first part of the fight.

Durham's motion to compel has been granted.
"Privileged" Fusion GPS e-mails/docs will be provided to the court for in camera review.
The court will then determine whether the "privileges" apply. (Durham will get the docs.) https://t.co/sPmR8Qackg pic.twitter.com/PZTXlpVEqx

Judge Cooper has granted the motion to compel documents for an In-Camera review.
Thought you would want to know. https://t.co/wDOytqq1Vg

its unbelievable that you guys have kept up with this for so long, years, and thanks for doing it. Some of us know very little about all of this legal lingo however you guys seem to bring it into focus at a lower level so the rest of us can actually understand "some" of it.
anyway, thanks again ! will be interesting to see where all this goes ? either way it seems pretty soon things will happen
I can only answer the first question.SamjamAg said:
Appreciate all those bringing us along on this journey. I have a few clarifying questions on the documents for in camera review.
Can someone clarify if Durham already has copies of the 36 or so documents for in camera review? My assumption is yes, but he doesn't have copies he can provide as evidence due to source of his documents.
If determined not to be privileged, when will the documents be released (full or partial) to the public?
Also, if the judge determines none of the content is remotely privileged what are the implications to the attorneys and clients clearly lying to the court?
That is my current working assumption. He got them from either Ratcliffe or Grennell and requires another foundation to make them admissible.SamjamAg said:

We have already gotten a boat load of new information through this indictment. Is it likely this is how this ends? Does the HFA, DNC turn the screw on Sussman to make him take a deal so that this doesn't make it to court?Quote:
Sussmann's trial date is still currently set for May 16. Some time before then, I expect two things to happen:
1. Judge Cooper grants Durham's Motion To Compel Via In Camera review and
2. Sussmann to announce he's changing his plea to guilty
We'll see what happens.
