I hope nobody has forgotten that after the Sussmann trial comes the Danchenko trial. Whereas the Sussmann trial is focused on the Alfa Bank Hoax, the Danchenko trial—which, like the Sussmann case, is focused on false statements to the FBI—should be focused on the origins of the Steele “dossier”.
If you read the absolute contempt with which Lisa Page refers to Pete Strzok after she broke up with him--which iirc was almost immediately after they both got kicked off the Mueller team--it's not too hard to come away with an impression of a woman who never liked the guy and was only banging him in order to bypass the chain of command between McCabe and Strzok. Iow, McCabe had her use her feminine whiles to seduce the number 2 man in counterintelligence so that McCabe wouldn't have to go through Priestap, the number 1 man. Just a theory.
While we all knew about Sussman's peddling the hoax a second time--to the CIA--in Feb 2017, this article about testimony on Friday afternoon is the first clear indication that CIA officials (unlike their far-more-receptive FBI counterparts) were none-too-pleased about potentially being played.
Insofar as, per TechnoFog and SWC last fall, it was likely an EDVA judge who ruled on overcoming a/c privilege on the billing records, Sussman's (i.e., his clients') persistence in pressing this crap across the Potomac to an unhappy CIA might have been his (and their) undoing.
While I'd be happy if Hillary were indicted & locked up for the rest of her squalid life, it is almost over already. Otoh, these squirrelly lessers in FBI & DOJ are fairly young & were certainly intending to make a lifelong career in the govt bureaucracy. I am glad that their reps have been permanently soiled. At the least, they shd not work in govt ever again. I think that much has been accomplished. Not what I want, but I recognize the value of it.
As much pleasure as it would give me to see Hillary actually pay for the incalculable damages that her despicable conduct has done to the country, I think it would be even nicer to see that smug, arrogant little jerk Peter Strozk get what he so richly deserves. That condescending little smirk of his when he testified before Congress is permanently burned into my memory!
Don’t get me wrong, I’d get up on a chair and start clapping if Comey, Rosenstein, Weismann and McCabe along a very long list of “usual suspects” were to be hauled in, but Strozk’s conduct was just so in your face that it begs you to just reach out and slap the crap out of him!!
Oh, now I’ve gone and done it, probably wind up on a special list for being outraged over the conduct of some sniveling little bureaucrat, let alone for wanting to slap him.
Solomon and Patel are friends from what I've seen. Patel frequently appears with Solomon in his podcasts, so it isn't a surprise Solomon's reporting echoes what Patel is now stating publicly.

Jeff Session and William Barr, two names that will live in infamy……
These guys were supposed to be on our side and yet………

Great reporting. This is like paint by numbers
Blah blah blah. Indict Hillary. Then we can wake up
