[QUOTE="Box Ox, post: 5266632, member: 48469"] Wonder if they'll be talking about this on Morning Joe tomorrow morning. Hmmmmm. :) [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.reuters.com/legal/government/prosecutors-say-lawyer-used-clout-plant-damaging-information-trump-with-fbi-2022-05-17/[/URL] "Federal prosecutors on Tuesday sought to portray an attorney who formerly worked for Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign as a privileged, high-powered person who abused his connections with the FBI in a bid to harm former President Donald Trump's campaign just weeks before the election. In opening arguments in a federal court in Washington, prosecutor Brittain Shaw told a jury that attorney Michael Sussmann misled the FBI about who he represented when he met with the bureau's top lawyer on Sept. 19, 2016, to provide a tip alleging internet communications between Trump's business and a Russian bank. The allegations were investigated and later discredited. "The evidence will show that this is a case about privilege - the privilege of a well-connected D.C. lawyer with access to the highest levels of the FBI," Shaw said, adding that Sussmann abused his connections to "use the FBI as a political tool." The case against Sussmann is being led by Special Counsel John Durham, who was appointed by then-Attorney General William Barr in 2019 to probe any missteps in the FBI's investigation into whether Trump's campaign was colluding with Russia."
