CLINTON LAWYER MARC ELIAS SINGS LIKE A CANARY AT SUSSMAN-DURHAM TRIAL

Marc Elias, the former Clinton campaign lawyer, testified for over three hours
in the trial of Michael Sussmann, his former partner at Perkins Coie.



Sussmann is accused of lying to the FBI by bringing the agency bogus dirt on
Donald Trump and claiming to have been acting as a concerned citizen, and not on
behalf of a client. Sussmann told the FBI that Trump had a secret communications
channel with the Kremlin via Alfa Bank. FBI agents found no evidence that such a
channel existed.



Special counsel John Durham has long alleged that Sussmann was working for the
Hillary campaign and technology executive Rodney Joffe when he presented the
bogus dirt on Trump to FBI General Counsel James Baker in September 2016. Part
of the proof was that Sussmann billed Hillary’s campaign for his work.

Elias confirmed in his testimony that he hired Fusion GPS to conduct opposition
research for Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign in 2016. He also testified
that he would share “the fruits of their work” with senior Clinton campaign
officials, and that Fusion GPS was also working for the DNC as part of its
support for Hillary’s campaign.

Elias also revealed that a number of Clinton campaign officials were aware of
the opposition research Fusion GPS was conducting against Trump,
including campaign manager Robby Mook, campaign chairman John Podesta, policy
director Jake Sullivan, and communications official Jennifer Palmieri.

Jake Sullivan is currently serving as Joe Biden’s National Security advisor.

According to the report, Sussmann billed the Clinton campaign for nearly five
hours of work on Sept. 17, 2016. Elias testified that he could not recall what
Sussmann billed for, but nevertheless conceded that he was occasionally checking
in with Sussmann about the bogus Alfa Bank allegations.



Elias did attempt to distance himself from Sussmann by claiming he didn’t direct
Sussmann to take the bogus dirt on Trump to the FBI. But he nevertheless
admitted that his firm had hired Fusion GPS to dig up dirt on Trump, and that
this dirt was shared with high-level Clinton campaign officials.

Durham has the receipts that show Sussmann was working on behalf of a client
when he claimed he wasn’t, and now he has testimony from Marc Elias that
Sussmann was involved in the opposition research.
