In Monday's filing, Durham referred to the opposition research effort as a conspiracy or joint venture to assemble & disseminate information about Trump. Now he argues that since they disseminated that information, they breached confidentiality cancelling any ACP claims.

Glancing over a few of the attachments (at least those parts not redacted) leads me to think Durham has gone deep and hard on this.

NY Post has a good take on this.

quote:

A researcher tasked by tech executive Rodney Joffe with mining internet data to create a “narrative” of Trump-Russia collusion expressed doubt about the Hillary Clinton campaign project in an August 2016 email cited by Special Counsel John Durham — writing at one point, “This will not fly,” according to court documents.

The message emerged in an explosive motion filed late Monday, in which Durham alleged that Joffe, Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign, and attorney Michael Sussmann took part in a “joint venture” to gather and spread damaging information about then-Republican nominee Donald Trump.


quote:

According to prosecutors, Joffe told his subordinates that “VIPs” — a phrase Durham says refers to Sussmann, Clinton campaign general counsel Marc Elias, and the campaign itself — were “looking for a true story that could be used as the basis for closer examination.”

“Trump has claimed he and his company have had NO dealings with .ru [web domains] other than the failed Casino, and the Miss universe [sic] pageant,” Joffe allegedly wrote. “He claims absolutely NO interaction with any financial institutions. So any potential like that would be jackpot.”


quote:

“[Y]ou do realize that we will have to expose every trick we have in our bag to even make a very weak association?” wrote the person, identified only as Researcher-1. ” … [U]nless we get … traffic collected at critical points between suspect organizations, we cannot technically make any claims that would fly public scrutiny.”

“In this case we will have not only the Trump folks trying to sho[o]t this down, but all the privacy freaks trying to come up with a crazy conspiracy theory on how we obtain the data,” the researcher added. “Sorry to say this, we are nowhere close coming with a plan to attack this problem that will fly in the public domain. The only thing that drive us at this point is that we just do not like [Trump]. This will not fly in eyes of public scrutiny. Folks, I am afraid we have tunnel vision.”

I’ll say that this thread wasn’t as dumb as I originally thought. Legit filing error. Happens sometimes.

I don’t think I’ve ever heard of a sealed sentencing hearing after a guilty plea. Thus my initial suspicion.

That whole thread is damning against the entire HFA campaign case's argument of AC privilege.

Huh? Sussmann didn’t plead guilty.

Are you sure you’re paying attention?

Holy shot I thought stock boy Cates had the biggest miss in the history of citizen journalist misses.

You sure he’s reliable?

I’m starting to think that Elias might be the target.


Oh I’d be so very happy.
