michael sussmann will make his first court appearance in 2 hours around 11 a.m. it's only the second prosecution since durham began his probe in may of 2019. this indictment says sussmann portrayed himself as a good citizen but he was an attorney working on behalf of the dnc in the clinton campaign and lying about his capacity. he provided information about the russian connection and sussmann was pedalling this to the media for months. durham said it's further alleged that sussmann's false statements misled the fbi. false. sussmann's attorney came out swinging saying this. rick implicated the fbi. >> the inside the fbi, the russian collusion investigation continued. not because some lawyer lied to them about who he was working for. because the fbi leadership knew this information was wrong. they knew it was made up. >> this after last year former fbi attorney apleaded guilty to falsifying a document used in the fisa warrant to surveil trump. more indictments to come? we don't know. no indication that durham is done. sussmann resigned from his law firm and could co

well, durham's indict of clinton campaign lawyer michael sussmann last week revealed what the swamp doesn'tu to know and, of course, how compromised and dumb the american media really is. the indictment reveals several conversations between hillary's mergeman as they tried to manufacture dirt on donald trump on her behalf. one unnamed clinton researcher in the indictment told another, quote: you do realize that we will have to expose every trick we have in our bag to even make a very weak association between trump and russia, give the base a very useful narrative. it continues. we cannot technically make any claims that would fly public scrutiny. the only thing that drives us at this point is that we just do not like trump. there you have it in print. well, well, it worked. hillary's crooked lawyer took that to the fbi, the fbi leaked it to the press. and ultimately the press reports were used as justification to launch the never ending trump witch-hunt. i'm telling you, these people are sick. joining me now is missouri senator josh hawley. forgive the impression for a moment there, senator

grassley: last week special council durham indicted michael sussmann, an attorney for the hillary clinton presidential campaign. he was indicted for lying to the f.b.i. the indictment gives example after example of the democratic party's bag of dirty tricks. in september 2016, sussmann met with the f.b.i.'s general counsel james baker. at that meeting he provided information and data files that allegedly contained evidence of a secret communication between the trump organization and the russian bank alpha bank. the evidence, however, was fabricated. the allegations about the trump organization being linked with a russian bank, these were false. the e-mail server at issue was neither owned nor operated by the trump organization. but the lie in the indictment occurred when sussmann allegedly told the f.b.i. general counsel that he wasn't providing the information on any client's behalf. he repeated the same to another government agency. those assertions were apparently false. he was working for the hillary clinton presidential campaign. now, interestingly, the indictment states that althoug

when i read the indictment of michael sussmann lying to the f.b.i. about his connection to the clinton campaign while he compiled information that was confidential, gave it to the f.b.i., claimed to just be a good citizen and not representing any client when, in fact, he was on the payroll of the clinton campaign and he was systematically leaking this information to the press to feed this narrative about russian collusion which has obsessed congress and the country for years. and now we know there is no factual basis for the allegations against then-candidate trump or then- later president trump. the russian collusion narrative was not true, but it was fed by partisans who abused their power in order to gain politically. so i don't know mr. olsen that well. like i said, i know he has had a distinguished career, but something clearly snapped when he became a partisan warrior. and i simply do not have confidence that he will not abuse his power in pursuit of his partisan aims. there are better people that the president could nominate to serve in this s
