A text message, first located about two months ago, completely changed the prosecution’s case against Democratic lawyer Michael Sussmann. In particular, it wrecked the essence of Sussmann’s defense.
For those who haven’t been following the case, Sussmann is alleged to have lied to the FBI to conceal the identity of the clients on whose behalf he peddled to the bureau an iteration of the Clinton Campaign’s Trump–Russia “collusion” smear. Specifically, Sussmann pushed the so-called Alfa Bank angle, in which the campaign claimed Donald Trump had maintained a secret communications back channel to the Kremlin through servers at Alfa, an important Russian bank.
