By then, the FBI had long since debunked it. Perhaps they did realize at some point who the client was - I don't see this as relevant or exculpatory at all. pic.twitter.com/A9sJAOamQE

The previous notes ("d/n say who client was") were from Mary McCord, the head of DOJ national security division. These are from Tashina Gauhar, a top intelligence oversight DOJ official: /3 pic.twitter.com/CWZWbVfLnc

There is a section in Bill Barr's book that talks about how furious Trump was when Barr gave McCabe a pass for leaking and lying. With hindsight, Trump should've probably fired Barr then and there, irrespective of the fallout. Just couldn't let McCabe get away scot free.

THREAD II: Thread below was tweeting while reading and with relevant screengrabs. Overall thoughts: Testimony by FBI folks that at this meeting McCabe said Sussmann was representating a client is going to be huge for Sussmann on question of what Sussmann told Baker. 1/ https://t.co/GfqLnyeECl
— Margot Cleveland (@ProfMJCleveland) May 9, 2022
3/3 to testify or conclude it doesn't matter why McCabe said it b/c relevance is Baker didn't "correct" him. It shouldn't be admissible for materiality, however, b/c Alfa Bank probe was over. In short, this note, given Baker's eqivocation is a killer--but so is Sussmann's text.

1. Absolute proof that the FBI *did* spy on president-elect Trump. It wasn't just Hillary who spied via Joffe.

2. Huge blunder by Bannon to try and shut up Carter Page when the Trump admin should've been fighting back with full force. Cowering only emboldened the coup plotters. https://t.co/LcNPIFiLcZ

1. Sussmann text to Baker day before meeting = no client. 2. Notes right after the meeting = no client. 3. Notes from others six months later at mtg not attended by Baker = clients. 4. Baker deposition long afterward (w/o docs to refresh memory) = doesn’t recall.

This is bugging the crap out of me. March 2017? Before Comey was fired and before Mueller was appointed in May? They all knew it was spurious at best well before they launched a hoax investigation, spent tens of millions, just to try to entrap Trump into an obstruction charge.will25u said:THREAD.

By March 2017 the world's "premier" law enforcement agency knew:
— Hans Mahncke (@HansMahncke) May 9, 2022
-that Hilary had a plan to vilify Trump with Russia collusion
-that Steele lied
-that Danchenko lied
-that the Alfa Bank data was fake
So what did they do?

They not only knew that Steele was FOS but that he was working indirectly for the Hillary campaign and the DNC. Steele told Kavalec that he was (she was a State Dept. wienie) and she passed that on to the FBI. That Steele's activities were election related. That was before the original Carter Page FISA warrant application in October 2016.will25u said:By March 2017 the world's "premier" law enforcement agency knew:

Hi @petestrzok,

Why did you lie to the DOJ at the Mar 6 2017 meeting about @AlexanderDowner's motivation for coming forward? Why did you claim he was triggered by Trump's "Russia if you're listening" joke when you know perfectly well that the joke was made after he came forward? pic.twitter.com/ITlUKkJPER
The Mar 6, 2017 FBI/DOJ meeting (that Sussmann is now using to try and get off scot free) was consumed by Trump's "Saturday" tweet (Mar 4) about being spied on. Without doubt the FBI's/McCabe's primary objective at the meeting was to cover up their own corruption and malfeasance. pic.twitter.com/wUxnrF4qz8

Frankly, I don't know why anybody involved in this should be testifying absent immunity, including McCabe. Take the 5th and keep your mouth shut. No one knows where Durham is headed next.sicandtiredTXN said:TRM said:

Key word in my OP "if". There are two reasons why it could be compelled if Sussmann's defense intends to introduce anything related to McCabe either written or verbal without his testimony to back it up. Anything McCabe said or wrote shouldn't be admissible for materiality without his testimony. And my point being he's a highly impeachable witness based on his past lies under oath.

Same misspelling that was on the Dossier which to me pointed out that Steele didn't write it or even review it, because any so called Russian expert would have caught it.
