Sussman ACQUITTED (shocked said no one reasonably informed about Durham’s weak AF case) updated with May 27th Motion to Acquit

That sound you hear —yea that John Durham preparing his resignation letter okay I’m joking about Durham resignation but at this point the Attorney General should ask for Durham’s resignation

After less than two days of deliberation the Federal DC Jury acquitted Sussman. I mean the fact that some on Twitter seemingly amplified Durham’s incongruent grand conspiracy theory. I repeatedly showed my readers how flawed Durham’s case was, that Opposition research isn’t illegal nor is the collection of public DNS data -but undeterred Mr Blue QANON just couldn’t help himself. And spent hours weaving a fantastical conspiracy theory that was unmourned in truth or the facts of this case. Yet so many were willing to blindly place their trust into someone who consistently lies and misrepresents facts on a massive scale. And then there are some of us who’s assessment has never wavered because facts do not need a drama -fact -free thread. Nope facts stand on their own.

…prosecutors told the jury that Sussmann thought he had "a license to lie” to the FBI at the height of the 2016 presidential campaign. Sussmann’s defense lawyers countered that the case against Sussmann was built on a “political conspiracy theory.”… Opposition research is not illegal,” he said, adding that if it was, “the jails of Washington, D.C., would be teeming over.”

On May 27 -the following minute order was placed on the docket —based on my rough calculations I believe the jury deliberated for <6 hours

The Court gave Jury instructions and released the three alternate jurors from further consideration in this case. Jurors began deliberating and were released at 5 PM. Jury deliberations continued to 5/31/2022 at 9:00 AM in Courtroom 27A (in person) before Judge Christopher R. Cooper. Bond Status of Defendant: remains on personal recognizance;

Prior to that Minute Order -Defendant Sussman filed the following:

• MOTION FOR JUDGMENT OF ACQUITTAL by MICHAEL A. SUSSMANN. See DCC-ECF or via Scribd

  

Special Counsel presented his case-in-chief, offering the testimony of 16 witnesses and over 150 exhibits. But quantity is no substitute for quality. The Special Counsel has failed to prove the basic elements of the lone false statement in issue: that (1) Mr. Sussmann, in fact, made the alleged statement; (2) the alleged statement was false; (3) the alleged statement was material; and (4) Mr. Sussmann made the alleged statement knowingly and willfully, i.e., with intent. Failure to establish any one of these elements would alone be sufficient to warrant judgment of acquittal.

And if you think this verdict won’t have implications on the Derancheko case then I regret to inform you that it will have a direct impact on Durham’s EDVA case because well let’s just look at the previous reporting

Special Counsel Durham -needs more time-Judge —>Speedy Trial Act, full speed ahead.

Order No. 4878-2020

• Statement of Expenditures, October 19, 2020 - March 31, 2021

• Russian National Indicted for Making False Statements to the FBI, November 4, 2021 IGOR Y. DANCHENKO

• Grand Jury Indicts D.C. Attorney with Making False Statements to the FBI in 2016 Regarding Alleged Communications Between Trump Organization and Russian Bank, September 16, 2021 -MICHAEL SUSSMAN

Many of you may have been wondering why I specifically decided to hold back on reporting. In general I don’t like to opine during trials. This is done out of professional respect for the parties involved but as noted back in December 2021 that Durham’s case against Danchenko is significantly weaker than his case against Sussman. I also drilled down on a factual analysis of Durham v Mueller -you can read the dozen plus articles here

By the Numbers Special Counsel Mueller

On May 17, 2017, Robert S. Mueller III was appointed by acting Attorney General Rod J. Rosenstein to serve as Special Counsel by the order below.

• Order 3915-2017 -Order on the Appointment

• Statements of Expenditures

• Report on the Investigation into Russian Interference in the 2016 Presidential Election

• 13 separate indictments

Again I’m sorry I’ve been MIA —last week’s horrific mass murder of 21 innocent children and teachers triggered my (largely failed) attempts to reconcile the April suicide of my former boss. I respect my readers and I think I’ve been transparent that the past five weeks has been one of the darkest periods of my life. I don’t know when I’ll be okay but I’m better than I was a few weeks ago but I’m a long way from being okay.

Also here’s your obligatory saltwater therapy

I don’t know when I’ll get back to publishing on a regular basis but I do know that it isn’t healthy for me to get lost in the sea of grief. Some days I’m able to function but other days I’m barely getting by. My primary boss, husband, kids and close friends are concerned about my head space. And I don’t have the energy to pretend I’m okay. Because the ugly truth is I’m not but I am working towards accepting his death and letting him go.

Be Well -Filey
