John Durham Indicts Former Hillary Clinton Attorney for Allegedly Lying to the FBI

John Durham, the special prosecutor appointed by the Trump administration to investigate the probe into Russia’s alleged election interference, has indicted former Hillary Clinton attorney Michael Sussmann for allegedly lying to the FBI in 2016.

According to Politico, a grand jury indicted Michael Sussmann on Thursday of a “single felony count of making a false statement during a September 2016 meeting with FBI General Counsel James Baker.”

The indictment follows a report in the New York Times on Wednesday announcing that Durham would seek an indictment by a grand jury over a meeting between Michael Sussmann and the FBI in 2016 when Sussmann claimed to not have been working on behalf of a client while raising suspicions about Donald Trump’s ties to Russia.

Michael Sussmann is now a partner at Perkins Coie – a prominent law firm often employed by Democrat politicians – and previously “represented the Democratic National Committee on issues related to Russia’s 2016 hacking of its servers,” per the Times.

Durham brought the charges on Thursday due to the five-year statute of limitations for the crime Sussmann is alleged to have committed on September 19, 2016. From CNN:

Stick out your hand to receive your "punishment", Mr. Sussmann.
This is going to hurt us a lot more than it's going to hurt you.

Step right up, amigos: This looks like all we are going to get. Of course, the statute of limitations expired this weekend. :kaid:
Actually I think Durham had until this weekend. So he beat the clock.

But - he's now a "one trick pony."

By design...

What worries me is that the time limitations must be or are running out on all the other criminals. I was under the impression that an investigation only had to have been started to get around time limitation clock. But I must be wrong.
