The biggest development may be the naming of Jim Comey (see below). In addition, it appears that the sketchy FBI Chicago opening of a Full Field Investigation on the Alfa Bank Hoax quickly went sour, just as it had in New York. The Chicago tech agents appear to have quickly sniffed out the bogus nature of the Joffe material.
Mark, you say "Now we learn that Bruce Ohr, at least, was also connected to the Alfa Bank Hoax." I'm unaware of ANY evidence supporting that claim. Sperry often repeats things without attribution. In this case, it looks to me like he's repeating a claim that lacks any foundation. At this point, it is also possible that the claim of a "referral from DOJ" was fabricated by someone at FBI or was a "misunderstanding" at the FBI. It's an important dig-here, but incorrect to overegg at this point by attributing to Bruce Ohr.
I wonder (after today's testimony) if the plan all along by Durham is not Sussman's conviction and Hillary's involvement but rather to flush out the FBI 7th floor and expose them all. I know this will favor the defense but I can't help thinking this will get the MSM's attention more easily and expose the corruption at the expense of a 1001. Am I off base?
Very timely of you Mark. I saw the transcript of Doofus Priestap. He wants to be as far away from all of this as possible. Durham's got to get him to sing somehow (immunity perhaps). His answers were so painful to read. He acts like he knew his time was coming up to retirement and was just wasting away until then. Happens often with many close to retirement. McCabe and Page just circumvented him to work with Strzok.
I'm still not convinced a DC jury goes for the conviction.
Fool Nelson just had a twitter post that says:
"I figured it out... US DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE is Sussmann's CHS codename.

Amazing how fast they become feebly-minded once they leave the warm embrace of public service
