WASHINGTON — FBI agents probing since-debunked claims of a secret back channel between Donald Trump and a Russian bank believed that the allegations had originated with the Department of Justice — when in fact they came from Hillary Clinton campaign attorney Michael Sussmann, who had shopped them to the bureau’s then-general counsel days earlier.In the latest revelation to emerge from Sussmann’s trial in DC federal court on a count of lying to the FBI, special counsel John Durham’s prosecutors revealed that investigators had received an electronic communication citing a referral from the DOJ “on or about” Sept. 19, 2016, the same day Sussmann met with James Baker,

Comey Strozk Page McCabe and DOJ AG Sessions who recused himself remember that? Maybe that’s when they lied about the dossier coming from DOJ vs direct from Clinton Campaign. Did Hillary also approve release of dossier to FBI? Asking for 75 million friends.

Ok. Was that part of the hoax? That does not change the fact that the info came from Sussman.

The "Lie" that the tip had come from DOJ....HAD to come from Baker.
Sussman clearly lied to the FBI....But Then Baker LIED to the FBI, even after the assigned agents directly asked about it.
The same agents that have testified that they figured out it was a false tip within 24hrs...

So: The FBI which charges people for lying to them is guilty of it's own lies.
The FBI needs a thorough cleansing.

This testimony seems to MAKE Durham's case that Sussmann's lie was material to the investigation and therefore illegal. In essence, Sussmann's identity was being shielded from investigators, who might have quickly dismissed their investigation if they had known its true source.
On the other hand, this indicates that someone in the FBI, knowing how the FBI works, shielded Susssmann's involvement to keep the investigation alive instead of being dumped as the political ploy that it actually was.

I think a few Witches were burned at the stake with that unnamed source stuff and heresy evidence. In this case it's all for political purpose from people raised in enlightened times where it's not legal to read the 10 Commandments to children. Otherwise they would know about bearing false witness being on the top ten.

Does this institution have the right to investigate, arrest or interrogate you or any other citizen?

When you believe something so obviously contrary to common sense, you have willed it to be. Putin wanted a strong America First presidency in favor of his supplier of uranium an hypersonic missile technology? That takes some serious cult like mental gymnastics.

Unfortunately you are right...poster #1...the top tier of the FBI are rotten to the core...but...the poor agents working to protect Americans go to work every day to defend and protect US... for these agents I feel very sorry...it will take years to undo the clinton/obama/soros cabal that is running our country into the ground...one step at a time...first 2022...then 2024...

I’m sorry, but the very last place this trial should be tried is in DC. This should have been tried in Iowa or Kansas. The corruptocrats will listen and acquit because “orange man bad…”

This is more than misleading agents. It was an attempt to polish excrement that worked, and the Chicago-based agents carried on trusting the judgment of "DOJ" that there was an investigation to pursue. It appears that the well-known roster of senior FBI officials, including the Director/Boy Scout Comey, was involved. Interesting how this worm keeps turning...but will Durham's team continue on, or bail leaving future prosecutions to DOJ?

The FBI lied to its agents. Fraud includes not disclosing known deficiencies.
