An Obama judge blocked Special Counsel John Durham’s evidence from the Clinton campaign in the Sussman trial. The evidence appears to tie Hillary Clinton to the fake Russia conspiracy. Judge Cooper was allegedly keeping politics out of the trial but he just got political. Judge Cooper’s wife represented Peter Strzoke’s lover Lisa Page.
Prosecutors with Durham’s office argued that Sussman, a Perkins Coie lawyer who represented the 2016 Clinton campaign and the DNC, worked in concert with pro-Clinton operatives, tech researchers, and others “toward a common goal” of promoting negative stories about Trump.
Durham has emails and other evidence that link Sussman to just such an effort.
Obama US District Judge Christopher Cooper blocked Durham’s efforts. He claims linking Sussmann to a vast anti-Trump scheme would “essentially amount to a second trial” for conspiracy, a crime that has not been alleged.
“While the special counsel has proffered some evidence of a collective effort to disseminate the purported link between Trump and Alfa Bank to the press and others, the contours of this venture and its participants are not entirely obvious.” Judge Cooper wrote in a 24-page opinion issued over the weekend.
Judge Cooper said that Sussmann is charged with the specific crime of lying to the FBI and introducing a conspiracy claim would require an “extensive presentation of evidence about that conspiracy” that “is likely to confuse the jury and distract from the issues at hand.”
Durham had attempted to introduce emails and other documents between Sussmann, the Clinton campaign, Marc Elias at Perkins Coie, tech executive Rodney Joffe and other tech researchers. He said the documents show a coordinated plot to spread negative stories tying Trump to Alfa Bank, allegations that became part of an investigation that hung over Trump‘s entire term in office.
Cooper will let Durham question witnesses but he won’t allow evidence that Joffe had doubts about the accuracy of the data.

The sleazy, corrupt liberals are well practiced at lying to protect their own. Any court action that may possibly implicate a Democrat judge’s spouse will be ruled against by that judge or any other Democrat judge that lacks the ethical standards required to SEEK OUT JUSTICE FOR ALL. Democrats are inherently protective of all Democrat criminals. That is why Bitch… Read more »
I watched 2000 Mules this morning. The Evidence of Voter Fraud in the 2020 Election is overwhelming. I will be a poll watcher in 2022.

I am convinced that Democrats tried to steal the… Read more »
Durham was a loser right out of the starting gate. He is being admired by the naive for trying hard when he has not. Oh poor Durham had a judge rule against him, bad luck, he did all the right things, blah blah blah. He’s our hero and so on. Give him a medal. Real men take action, fake men… Read more »
The Big Fix is in. I said this from the time this POS Obama alcolyte was handed the case. Durham may have grounds for an interlocutory appeal based on the outrageous ruling by this so-called judge. Further evidence the rule of law is dead in the USA.
