Special Counsel John H. Durham scored a massive legal victory which could finally force Hillary Clinton to pay for her role in fabricating the Trump-Russia collusion lie.
A federal judge in Washington, DC, agreed to compel the production of documents that Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign claimed were protected by attorney-client privilege. Durham is prosecuting former Clinton lawyer Michael Sussmann for lying to the FBI when he claimed to be acting as a private citizen in providing false information purporting to link then-candidate Donald Trump to the Russian government via Alfa Bank.
The New York Post noted earlier in the week, “In court papers filed last month, Durham said the Democratic National Committee, Hillary for America, the Fusion GPS research company and the powerhouse Perkins Coie law firm — where Sussmann was formerly a partner — “have all withheld and/or redacted documents and communications” that could potentially be used against the defendant.””
The post continued, “Durham said they made that decision “based on an apparent theory that political opposition research and/or public relations work … falls within the legitimate scope of attorney-client privilege and work-product protections.””
““They have done so despite the fact that almost all of these materials appear to lack any connection to actual or expected litigation or the provision of legal advice,” members of Durham’s team wrote,” the outlet concluded.
Durham argued that the documents he sought were crucial to demonstrating the relationship between Sussmann and others, even if the substance of the documents were to be redacted.
According to legal blogger Techno Fog, a federal judge just agreed with Durham’s request.
Techno Fog wrote, “Durham won the first part of the fight. Durham’s motion to compel has been granted. “Privileged” Fusion GPS e-mails/docs will be provided to the court for in camera review. The court will then determine whether the “privileges” apply. (Durham will get the docs.)”
The court will review the documents “in camera” — that is, behind closed doors — before deciding whether they must be turned over to the prosecution and possibly admitted into evidence during the trial, which starts in earnest later this month.
The Washington Examiner reported that the court will only review 38 documents of 1,500 over which the defendants and their associates have asserted privilege, but more documents could be introduced in future trials.
The judge said that while some of the work done by Fusion GPS might have been legal in nature, the opposition research did not qualify, and therefore some of the documents would have to be reviewed.
Five Hillary Clinton associates have already indicated they will be asserting their Fifth Amendment rights against self-incrimination in the trial as prosecutors allege that the defendants were involved in a major conspiracy aimed to craft the narrative that Trump colluded with Russia, and to plant it in the media and feed it to law enforcement.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the little Hebe dweeb were to suddenly “commit suicide “. In the end, the Left got away with covering up massive fraud and corruption enough to take out a successful sitting POTUS. No amount of retribution can ever fix that. It’s sad testament to how many millions of stupid Americans insist on staying uninformed by design.
Wait for it! Coming soon! More body found by police. And these are the ones who was supposed to testify against Hillary Clinton. Just as the 54 that all of suggest died! Either were poison, or made to look like suicide. Later easy to do if you are an CIA OR FBI AGENT!
Wouldn’t that be something if she Arkancided herself.
They probably are voicing plan to use 5th Amendment to keep alive, knowing about Clinton history of people near her dying mysteriously. The Mafia could probably learn from the Clinton’s.
God speed to Durham, in ferreting out the criminality and seeking punishment for these evil people.
lets hope and pray Durham has a lot of body guards tthe democrats and rinos only get away with murder.
I believe it when I see it, accountability that is I admit I have lost my faith in US government
Me too!!
All the proof in the world wont convict this witch, she has too many swamp rats to protect her in the alphabet agencies. Just like with her email server and private phones, it will get “wiped like with a cloth”. Then the scum bags who she paid off get away from being prosecuted, like Comey, Lynch, and all the others. They all need to be put behind bars ! The Clinton Foundation money laundry needs to be investigated, and shut down too. What will be the out come, only time will tell ? I would not hold my breath for any justice coming out of it. Even after the $Millions it cost tax payers, she will walk !
That will never happen, that woman Mrs. Bill Clinton, is full of herself! She is self righteous! Others may die but not her she sees herself as the savior of the World!
Looking forward to prosecution and prison for those involved in this charade!
Lets get the show on the road…Justice delayed will be justice denied…
I agree that Mr. Durham is in a pile of deep shit, and the Democrats will be the first batch of bastards to fine that Mr. Durham has been the victim of a dedaly accident, heart attack, or maybe even suicide. The Democrats seem to have unique ways of determining suicide such as firing shots to the back of the head, laying down across the railroad tracks, falling out the windows of high rises or hotels, etc. With the current Democrat DOJ, not a damned thing will happen to either one of the corrupt Bill, Hillary, and Chelsea Clintons. The entire family all seek extreme power and wealth. The phony Clinton Foundation should be investigated as thorough as Mr. Durham has and still is digging deeper into the pile of illegal and highly unlawwful history of the Clinton Klan. If the DOJ decided to provide Mr. Durham with say, a couple of FBI agents to protect him 24 and 7, I am certain something would occur to have the two “FBI bodyguardskill Mr. Durham saying that they though t it was an intruder with a weapon in his hand. The FBI will probabl;y investigate me for saying that the entire DOJ, to include the FBI, sucks Royally. Let them do it, I am 88 years old and probably near my death anyway.
Maybe Hitler Hillary should stay home and off the streets.
They should start stocking up on rope,there should be a lot of hangings coming up!
The only thing more treasonous than what they did, would be stealing an election,wich the same people are most likely to have participated in as well!
HANG THEM ALL!!!!
Nothing in the article says Hillary Clinton panicked.
It’s a shame that those who will plead the 5th cannot stay in jail until they decide to tell the truth.
It’s too bad that those associates who will plead 5th Amendment rights cannot be put behind bars until they decide to confess.
I’ll BRING THE BEER..
Corruption in our Government makes it difficult for Justice to be done, and if done, it is a Slow process.
FJB!
