My late Friday night involved hitting refresh on PACER every so often,
incurring the $0.10 charge for each search result as I waited on
Special Counsel John Durham’s latest filing in the Michael Sussman
case. (Exciting, I know.)

The motion exceeded expectations, discussing CIA conclusions that
Sussmann was providing implausible data to federal authorities,
providing CIA notes regarding their meeting with Sussman, and
confirmation that they essentially spied on President-Elect Trump.

The motion can be found here. It was filed as part of the government’s
efforts to convince the court that the evidence it seeks to admit in
Sussman’s trial is relevant and admissible. Let’s go through the most
important parts.
The CIA Notes Part 1: January 31, 2017.

Durham provided to the Court two sets of notes related to Sussman’s
representations to the CIA. The first was from Sussman’s January 31,
2017 contacts with a CIA employee where Sussman discussed wanting to
provide to the CIA data on “the presence and activity of a unique
Russian made phone around President Trump.” It was said that this
secret activity started in April 2016 and continued after Trump’s
“move to the White House.”

Sussman alleged the Russian phone (YotaPhone) was always close to
Trump (“only around the President’s Movements”), surfacing at his
Trump Tower Network in April 2016 and being used through Wi-Fi at
Trump’s Grand Central West apartment. The phone even “appeared with
Trump in Michigan” when he was interviewing a Cabinet Secretary.

At a minimum, this confirms what we reported nearly two months ago:
that the Trump transition data was passed to the CIA. Yet it’s also
more than that. The CIA was provided with data all the way back from
April 2016.

Why does April 2016 matter? Because Russia was alleged to have hacked
“the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and DNC networks in
April 2016.” Recall that “Crowdstrike was contacted on April 30, 2016
to respond to a suspected breach” of the DNC.
The CIA Notes Part 2: Sussmann’s February 9, 2017 meeting with the CIA

That January 31, 2017 conference was used to schedule the February 9,
2017 meeting with the CIA. At that meeting, Sussman repeated his
allegations that a “Russian-made Yota-phone” had been seen at Trump
properties and had traveled with Trump to Michigan. He further alleged
that “In December 2016, the Yota-phone was seen connecting to WIFI
from the Executive Office of the President (the White House).”

A brief but necessary aside: The Washington Post alleged us to have
fanned “the flames” on the Sussman/Joffe spying operation, taking us
to task for stating (correctly): “They spied on Trump.” I hope the
Washington Post is reading this, because the CIA notes confirm what we
reported and what we told them via e-mail. Techno 1, WaPo 0.

Back to the Durham Filing – and the CIA’s analysis of the Sussman/Joffe data.

The CIA reviewed the Trump/YotaPhone data (and the Alfa Bank data) in
early 2017. The fact that the CIA accepted this data on President
Trump is its own scandal. In any event, the CIA’s findings are
significant, as they concluded that the data was not “technically
plausible” and was “user created and not machine/tool generated.”

(I’ve been asked about the last part of that paragraph, which says the
“Special Counsel’s Office has not reached a definitive conclusion in
this regard.” The term “definitive conclusion” stands out, making me
suspect he has “initial” conclusions on the data. Durham’s filings in
this case suggest he agrees with the CIA.)

Anyway, what a finding by the CIA. Of course, this only leads to more questions:

    Which “user” created the data?

    Does it go back to the Joffe conspiracy?

    And who else is part of that conspiracy?

For that last question, consider this revelation from a previous Durham filing:

As to those questions of a conspiracy, Durham’s granting of immunity
provides some insight. As we suspected back on April 5, “Researcher-2”
(identified as David Dagon) has been given immunity. The reason? So
that Durham can “uncover otherwise-unavailable facts” relating to the
Alfa Bank project.

Dagon being granted immunity is certainly important, as Durham states
that Rodney Joffe – who led the Alfa Bank hoax effort – remains a
“subject” of the investigation. While Sussman and others argue that
it’s impossible to prosecute Joffe because of the 5-year statute of
limitations, Durham disagrees, stating: “defense counsel is not – and
could not be – aware of all the evidence that the Government has
collected and continues to collect, or the possible violations of law
it is investigating.”

Durham will also be granting immunity at trial “for an individual who
was employed at” Fusion GPS. I initially suspected this was
Christopher Steele but was steered in the right direction after some
smart folks noted the person was “employed” at Fusion GPS (as opposed
to Steele, who was “retained” by Fusion GPS). This person might be
Laura Seago.

This former Fusion GPS employee will likely testify to “limited
information pertaining to” Christopher Steele. As Durham puts it: this
will include whether Sussman was acting on behalf of the Clinton
Campaign when he relayed the Alfa Bank allegations.

Finally, I leave you with some questions to consider. Start asking why
Sussman and Joffe were so desperate to provide the FBI and CIA with
dirt purportedly linking Trump and Russia. Sussman himself provided
false statements to federal officials, and it’s becoming more and more
likely that someone potentially fabricated this evidence. Sussman and
Joffe risked charges - and thus jeopardized their lucrative careers -
to tie Trump to Russia.

Considering the personal costs to both men, are we to believe that
this was only about politics?

Or maybe this all leads back to the DNC hack…
