Durham Team Reveals Damning Text Message From Clinton Lawyer Michael Sussmann to FBI; Prosecutors: Hillary Lawyer Planned Russia Hoax as ‘October Surprise’
By New York Post. A damning text message shows former Hillary Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann told the FBI’s top lawyer that he just wanted to “help the Bureau” by sharing since-debunked computer data involving Donald Trump and Russia.
The message, revealed in court Wednesday, was sent by Sussmann to then-FBI general counsel James Baker on the night of Sept. 18, 2016, Baker testified at Sussmann’s trial in Washington, DC, federal court.
“Jim — it’s Michael Sussmann. I have something time-sensitive (and sensitive) I need to discuss. Do you have availability for a short meeting tomorrow? I’m coming on my own — not on behalf of a client or company — want to help the Bureau. Thanks,” he wrote in the message displayed in court.
Baker said he agreed to meet with Sussmann at FBI headquarters the next day, when Sussmann handed over information that purportedly showed a secret back channel between a Trump Organization computer server and Russia’s Alfa Bank.
Sussmann, 57, is charged with lying to the government because he was allegedly working on behalf of the Clinton campaign and another client, tech executive Rodney Joffe, who told him about the supposed Trump-Russia data.

Prosecutors: Hillary Lawyer Planned Russia Hoax as ‘October Surprise’
By WND. On the eve of the 2016 presidential election, former Hillary Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann sought to create an “October surprise” by feeding the FBI a bogus story claiming Donald Trump was secretly communicating with the Kremlin through a Russian bank, prosecutors charged in opening statements in Sussman’s trial in federal court.
Sussman – who was indicted in special counsel John Durham’s probe of the Obama investigation of now-debunked Trump-Russia collusion – is charged with falsely claiming he was operating merely as a private citizen rather than a campaign operative when he gave the information to the FBI.
CBS News reported that among the high-profile witnesses scheduled to testify this week in federal court in Washington, D.C., are former Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook and former Clinton campaign lawyer Marc Elias.
It was Elias who organized the fraudulent Steele “dossier” that along with the Russian Alfa Bank lie helped ignite the Obama administration’s Trump-Russia probe.
In court on Tuesday, prosecutors backed the “October surprise” claim by focusing on a Sept. 19, 2016, meeting between Sussmann and then-FBI general counsel James Baker. (Read more from “Prosecutors: Hillary Lawyer Planned Russia Hoax as ‘October Surprise’” HERE)
