The ongoing investigation of Special Counsel John Durham into Hillary Clinton‘s 2016 campaign is now one step closer to a nation-shattering conclusion. As numerous outlets explained, Durham won a round in his battle to get records from a research study company connected to the notorious “Steele Dossier” when a judge turned down claims that they’re always covered by the attorney-client privilege.
On May 4th, Washington, DC federal Judge Christopher Cooper made the judgment after reviewing an e-mail in which Fusion GPS co-founder Peter Fritsch advised a press reporter to “do the f–king Alfa bank secret comms story.”
Here’s what Cooper said:
“How is that assisting providing legal advice? That is assisting a media strategy.”
Here’s an earlier report from Techno Fog’s SubStack:
As part of the prosecution of former Clinton Campaign/DNC lawyer Michael Sussmann: Special Counsel Durham is seeking the following e-mails/communications that have been either redacted or hidden from his review:
- Documents involving Fusion GPS’s provision of opposition research and media-related strategies to Hillary for America, the DNC, and Perkins Coie. This includes the Fusion GPS/Perkins Coie contract and 38 e-mails and attachments between and among Fusion GPS, Rodney Joffe, and Perkins Coie.
- Communications between Fusion GPS and Rodney Joffe relating to the Alfa Bank allegations, and “other emails that precede, and appear to relate to, those communications.” This includes emails between Joffe and Laura Seago, whom Durham has subpoenaed as a trial witness.
The Clinton Campaign (including Robby Mook and John Podesta), Fusion GPS, Perkins Coie, Rodney Joffe, and the DNC are fighting to keep these e-mails and records secret, reasoning Fusion’s “role was to provide consulting services in support of the legal advice attorneys at Perkins Coie were providing to” the Clinton Campaign.
That argument – that Fusion GPS was helping with “legal advice” – is hopefully the last conspiracy theory they’ll provide to the public, after Fusion GPS has already poisoned America, through the FBI, DOJ, and the press, with baseless allegations of secret, back-channels between Trump Organization and Russian marketing servers, piss tapes, and broader allegations of Trump/Russia collusion.
Fusion GPS poisoned the public with deceitful "opposition research"
And now, to keep documents from Special Counsel Durham, the Clinton Campaign tells the court Fusion GPS was providing "legal advice"
The lies are catching up to them.https://t.co/CWhrdzEH8y

Throughout the hearing, Cooper apparently asked whether Durham would look for access to all of the records if the judge were to concur that the 38 e-mails at issue aren’t privileged.
District attorney Jonathan Algor responded that Durham would not require the remaining records “for this trial” however stated that Cooper’s ruling “is important” for Durham’s probe of the FBI examination into believed ties in between the Trump campaign and Russia.
In February, Clinton’s project and the DNC were both fined by the Federal Election Commission for mislabeling payments to Fusion GPS on main disclosure types.
