Hillary Campaign Lawyer Michael Sussmann Indicted for Allegedly Lying to FBI in Russia Probe (legalinsurrection.com)

He’s accused of not telling the FBI he was working for Hillary’s campaign when he pushed the government to investigate ties between Trump and Russia.

"Who, ME? What'd I do"?

"A federal grand jury indicted DNC/Fusion GPS/Hillary Clinton lawyer Michael Sussmamnn for allegedly lying to the FBI during the Russia investigation.

"It turns out Sussmann’s lies initiated the investigation into Trump’s campaign.

"From Fox News:

Sussmann, whose firm had previously represented the Democratic National Committee, told the FBI’s James Baker in Sep. 2019 that he was not representing a client when pushing for an investigation into Trump. Sussmann denied any wrongdoing, while withholding the fact that he was working on behalf of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign.

Lawyers for Sussmann say that he “has committed no crime” and that prosecuting him “would be baseless, unprecedented and an unwarranted deviation from the apolitical and principled way in which the Department of Justice is supposed to do its work.”

“We are confident that if Mr. Sussmann is charged, he will prevail at trial and vindicate his good name,” they said.

..."Sussmann's false statements were part of an effort to start an FBI investigation of Trump, create media outrage, and tilt the election to Hillary.

"All while billing Clinton."...
