The Michael Sussmann case is heating up.

On February 11, 2022, Durham filed the Government’s Motion to Inquire
into Potential Conflicts of Interest in the Michael Sussmann case.
Read it here. As you might recall, Sussmann was charged with giving
false statements to then-FBI General Counsel James Baker regarding the
interests he was representing in pushing to the FBI the Alfa
Bank/Trump Organization hoax. More background information on the
Sussmann indictment can be found here.

The basis for the motion is that Sussmann’s current counsel, Latham &
Watkins LLP (Latham) might have a conflict of interest because Latham
previously represented Perkins Coie and Mark Elias “in this
investigation.” It is alleged that Latham “likely possesses
confidential knowledge about Perkins Coie’s role in, and views
concerning, Sussmann’s past activities.” (Cleaned up.)

There might also be a conflict because Latham was representing both
the Clinton Campaign and Hillary for America in the Special Counsel’s
investigation. Durham observes that Latham’s duties to these former
clients “might cause its interests to diverge from those of
[Sussmann].”

Why might there be a conflict?

Because Durham might offer evidence at trial he obtained from the
Clinton Campaign and Hillary for America.

We previously discussed how Rodney Joffe (identified as Tech
Executive-1 in the Sussmann indictment and in the latest filing
discussing the conflict) exploited proprietary – and perhaps
classified – data provided by DARPA to further their own political
attacks, and how that might result in charges. It was later confirmed
that two former DARPA employees have given grand jury testimony, so it
appears Durham is following this track.

I provide that background because of what we just learned. Durham also
divulged, to an extent, that contractors and tech experts – those same
people involved in the Alfa Bank hoax – essentially spied on President
Trump.

According to Durham, Joffe and his associates exploited internet data
from “the Executive Office of the President of the United States” to
further their own political agenda. They had come to possess this data
as part of a “sensitive arrangement” with the U.S. government. As
Durham explains:

Joffe and his associates manipulated this information to further a
conspiracy theory that Trump and those in Trump’s orbit were
continuing their secret backchannels with the Russians. This was
repackaged with the Alfa Bank hoax and given to Sussmann, who then
laundered it to the CIA on February 9, 2017. Sussmann alleged to the
CIA that the data showed “that Trump and/or his associates were using
supposedly rare, Russian-made wireless phones in the vicinity of the
White House and other locations.” Durham “identified no support for
these allegations.”

One can’t help ask why Joffe (via Sussmann) risked legal exposure to
continue to push false Trump-Russia allegations before and after the
2016 election. First to the FBI in 2016 then to the CIA in 2017. It
seems that Joffe was desperate, and his desperation only increased
after Trump’s election.

The source of Joffe’s desperation? It’s speculation at this point, but
perhaps it goes to the origins of the purported Russia/DNC hack. To
revise a previous question we have asked:

    What if Crowdstrike was a patsy, there to unknowingly reach false
conclusions of a “Russian hack” based on fraudulent information
provided to them by Rodney Joffe and Perkins Coie and the DNC/Hillary
Campaign?

We don’t have an answer to that question - yet. Maybe we never will.
But if anything, it seems likely that we will see an indictment of
Rodney Joffe.
