John Durham demands docs from DNC, Hillary Clinton campaign, Fusion GPS
Special counsel John Durham has accused the Democratic National Committee, Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign, research firm Fusion GPS and Democratic law firm Perkins Coie of improperly holding back hundreds of documents relevant to his investigation under unfounded claims of attorney-client privilege.

In a 23-page filing this week, Durham asked that a federal judge order the documents be handed over for in camera review, arguing that the privilege claims lack “any connection to actual or expected litigation or the provision of legal advice.”

In his request, Durham revealed that out of 1,455 documents withheld by Fusion GPS under claimed attorney-client privilege or work product protections, only 18 emails and attachments actually involve an attorney.

The filing went on to note that the DNC and Hillary for America — the official name for the Clinton campaign — have also tried to withhold communications between a Fusion GPS employee and tech executive Rodney Joffe, “despite the fact that no one from either the DNC or HFA is copied on certain of these communications.”

This is getting close to the flame. Watch now as the DNC and Clinton toadies fight to keep documents out of prosecutors hands.

What are they hiding? Isn't that what they've said about Trump docs? November can't come soon enough.

From the article:
Durham alleged that Fusion GPS’ main purpose in working with the DNC and Clinton campaign “was to generate opposition research materials that the firm then shared widely with members of the media, the U.S. State Department, the Department of Justice, the Federal Bureau of Investigation … members of Congress, and others.”

Why yes, yes it was.

Oh no, Hillary Clinton is under investigation? 😁
shrug...

So who is Durham going to investigate since he can't investigate the Obama administration and the Deep State during the Trump administration?

Haven't you noticed that he's been keeping as far away from those groups as he can?

The judge will determine whether the documents are indeed subject to attorney-client privilege, or not.

As to, what are they are hiding, Trump refused to turn over financial documents ordered by the court. What is he hiding?

Yeah and Durham might just lit his own pants on fire. If he wins this bid of his to present his full conspiracy theory it will burden him with far great discovery obligations. Cause evidence to prove that the suspicions Sussmann and others had in 2016 were not just justified, but turned out to be true, are now material to discovery. Sussman would then be able to get Mueller Investigation files of at least 6 people. Including Richard Burt, Roger Stone, Paul Manafort, Konstantin Kilimnik, Alex Van der Zwaan, and Michael Cohen. If Durham doesn't start turning over that mountain of information to Sussmann, he'll be risking dismissal for discovery violations.

For those who would care to learn a bit more about Durham's DEMAND for Docs from the DNC, old Hillary and Fusion GPS, I offer a link to the actual filing


Please note that on the first page Mr Durham - ooops, "The United States of America" is asking the Court to conduct an in camera review of the requested documents. Doesn't look like much of a DEMAND to me, more like a polite request.

Turn on him? Nah. I've always said that Durham wouldn't go after the real corruption. He'll just mess with the penny ante people.

You seem to have a cult like adherence to people who only disappoint you later

That's what I'm saying. Cause I don't believe Durham is up to the task, missing SOL and other filing deadlines and whatnot. He's just digging a deeper hole for himself.
