Judge restricts Durham evidence on Clinton campaign 'joint venture' in Sussmann trial

A ruling Saturday evening included wins and losses for both the prosecution and defense in the case against Democratic cybersecurity lawyer Michael Sussmann, who was indicted for allegedly concealing his clients — Clinton's campaign and “Tech Executive-1” Rodney Joffe — from FBI general counsel James Baker in September 2016 when he presented internet data that suggested a now-discredited back channel link between the Trump Organization and Russia’s Alfa-Bank. Sussmann has pleaded not guilty.

Cooper also said that “where exactly Mr. Sussmann fits into the enterprise is similarly murky at this stage.”There is a tangled web of ties between this cast of characters that Trump and his allies often vilify as being instrumental to a"Russia collusion hoax" meant to undermine his campaign and, later, Trump's presidency. British ex-spy Christopher Steele created his discredited anti-Trump dossier after being hired by Fusion, which was itself hired by Perkins and Elias.

The FBI, CIA, special counsel Robert Mueller, a bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee investigation, and Durham’s team have all cast doubt on or shot down the Trump-Alfa Bank link. “The Court will impose certain limitations on the use of this evidence, however,” Cooper wrote, adding, “Unless the defense opens the door for admission by vouching for the data, the government will not be permitted to put on extensive evidence about its accuracy.”

Allowing notes taken by Bill Priestap, assistant director of the FBI’s counterintelligence division, and FBI deputy general Trisha Anderson as evidence “depends both on whether Mr. Baker’s credibility is attacked and on Mr. Priestap and Ms. Anderson’s testimony," the judge said.

How do you get to the truth if everything is not included? Let the man do his job with out restrictions.Clinton and others need to pay for their bad choices we want her in prison now it's been long enough.

Of course he would - who assigned ‘this’ judge to this case ? hahaha, ,,,she covers all her bases,,, or else!

😳. How can this be legal?

Don’t know who the judge is but he needs to step down because he is deliberately interfering with an investigation preventing Durham from getting to the truth

In my ENTIRE LIFE never HEARD such a CRAZY RULING limiting EVIDENCE which is the BACKBONE to make a DECISION. Who are these CREEPY JUDGES?

And is anyone suprised Clinton has ever been held accountable for anything she has done why would it start now

What?
