Recall that just the other day in Lawyer Games I mentioned this: Back in the day, as it now seems, when we were all momentarily expecting major indictments from Durham—late Spring, no, make that July, no wait, September—I several times made the point that everything Durham was doing showed that his investigative road led straight to Team Mueller. There was the whole Flynn case, for example.
I have doubts on Clinesmith's cooperation, though MANY were convinced that was what was going on. Disclosure of those dealings during his trial would have been mandatory. We'd have known "something" was happening.
It was the same thing during the Wolfe case, everyone was convinced a massive case was brewing over the Page leak in the Senate.
I've got no hope left to harbor on these endeavors.
"according to people familiar with the criminal probe, which they say has broadened into a conspiracy case."
>> "That is what we call a 'speaking indictment,' meaning it is far more detailed than is required for a simple indictment under [federal statute] 1001,” which outlaws making false statements and representations to federal investigators, former assistant FBI Director Chris Swecker said in an interview with RealClearInvestigations.
"It is damning,” he added. “And I see it as a placeholder for additional indictments, such as government grant and contract fraud, computer intrusion, the Privacy Act and other laws against dissemination of personally identifiable information, and mail fraud and wire fraud – not to mention conspiracy to commit those offenses."
"I definitely see more [indictments] to come,” emphasized Swecker, who knows Durham personally and worked with him on prior investigations. The sources close to the case said former FBI general counsel James Baker, who accepted the sketchy materials from Sussmann and passed them on to agents for investigation, is cooperating with Durham’s investigation, along with former FBI counterintelligence chief Bill Priestap, who has provided prosecutors contemporaneous notes about what led the bureau to open an investigation into the allegations Trump used Alfa Bank as a conduit between his campaign and Russian President Vladimir Putin to steal the election.
According to the sources, Durham also has found evidence Sussmann misled the CIA, another front in the scandal being reported here for the first time. In December 2016, the sources say Sussmann phoned the general counsel at the agency and told her the same story about the supposed secret server – at the same time the CIA was compiling a national intelligence report that accused Putin of meddling in the election to help Trump win.<<
Key points I picked up on:
Looks like Sullivan and Jones are in the cross hairs of Durham's GJ.
Baker and Preistap are cooperating.
The fact that neither the FBI nor the CIA asked where Sussmann got his data is intriguing. It's as if they already knew, or didn't care.
Also, one of the Conspirators was pushing the Alfa Bank Hoax to government officials in March 2017; that pushes the start date for the SoL forward another month
Hadn't heard about him sharing with CIA before February until this.
I think SWC reads many others twitter feeds and regurgitates it at his convenience to look good. No doubt eyes lead to Team Mueller but that’s far off from where things stand today.

I hate when my fingers get ahead of my thoughts.
