Durham uncovering more info in IG's office

But in a Tuesday court filing, Durham said he only learned a week ago that Sussmann had a subsequent meeting in March 2017 with DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz, who conducted his own investigation into Trump-Russia matters, including claims about former President Donald Trump and Alfa Bank.

"The OIG had not previously informed the Special Counsel’s Office of this meeting with the defendant," Durham's team said in the filing.

Durham’s team had met with Horowitz in October and followed up with a discovery request for information relevant to its inquiry of the Russia investigation origins. Horowitz provided transcripts of interviews his office had conducted, including a report about a "cyber-related matter" Sussmann brought to the inspector general's attention in early 2017.

The report said Sussmann told an agent in Horowitz’s office that one of Sussmann’s clients claimed a DOJ inspector general employee’s computer was “seen publicly” in “internet traffic” and had connected to a virtual private network in a foreign country.

What Horowitz failed to reveal, according to Durham, was that he personally met with Sussmann in March 2017 to discuss the mysterious report. Durham only learned of that meeting during a Jan. 20 call with Sussmann’s lawyers, according to the filing, and the DOJ watchdog discussed it with Durham's team for the first time the next day after being asked about it.

Durham also said his team only learned this month that Horowitz was holding two FBI cellphones belonging to FBI general counsel James Baker, the official whom Sussmann allegedly lied to, along with forensic analysis of the phones, which Durham is now reviewing.

Durham contends that while Sussmann told Baker he was not working for any particular client, he was secretly doing the bidding of Clinton’s campaign and billing his services to her — as well as working on behalf of technology executive Rodney Joffe. Sussmann has pleaded not guilty.

Clinton herself tweeted in the closing days of the 2016 race allegations that the Russian bank collaborated with Trump. She also shared a statement from Jake Sullivan, then her foreign policy adviser and now President Joe Biden's national security adviser, on the "New Report Exposing Trump’s Secret Line of Communication to Russia.”

Hillary Clinton should be investigated for her part in pushing the fraudulent allegations against Trump.  Has Durham questioned her at all about her part in the plot?

 But court documents, behind-the-scenes video footage and recently surfaced evidence reveal that Clinton and her top campaign advisers were much more involved in the more than $1 million operation to dredge up dirt on Trump and Russia than they have let on. The evidence suggests that the Trump-Russia conspiracy theory sprang from a multi-pronged effort within the Clinton campaign, which manufactured many of the false claims, then fed them to friendly media and law enforcement officials. Clinton herself was at the center of these efforts, using her personal Twitter account and presidential debates to echo the false claims of Steele and others that Trump was in cahoots with the Russians.
