Durham is coming for Fusion GPS….
The firm recently filed a motion to prevent communication records and documents from coming to public attention via the Michael Sussmann case.
Fusion GPS claims that the communications come under the protection of attorney-client privilege, but sources say this defense likely won’t work as a legal shield.
Attorney-client privilege can be pierced if the intention behind the communication was to commit some sort of crime or fraud.
Here’s what we currently know:
Fusion GPS has filed a motion to intervene in the Michael Sussmann case –
They're trying to keep privileged documents and communications related to its work for Perkins Coie.
It won't work. pic.twitter.com/nRGMpKEHw4

Hillary For America now intervenes in the Michael Sussmann case-
Says the Perkins Coie/Fusion GPS communications and work product is "privileged"
In support, Robby Mook swears under penalty of perjury that Fusion GPS was retained to provide "legal services and legal advice"

According to The Epoch Times:
In a three-page motion accompanied by 10 attached exhibits filed Tuesday, attorneys Joshua Levy, Rachel Clattenburg, and Kevin Crenny of the Washington, D.C.-based Firestone Muse LLP law firm called on Cooper to allow them to intervene on Fusion GPS’ behalf “for the limited purpose of responding” to Durham’s motion to compel with an opposition brief.
Robby Mook, as expected, is going along with the farcical claim that the Marc Elias/Fusion GPS research on Trump was done for the purpose of providing legal advice to the Hillary campaign.

Fusion GPS just filed a motion in the Sussmann case claiming that Hillary hired Elias in case Trump sued her for smearing him with Russia collusion.🤣
(in reality she hired Elias to create fake attorney-client privilege to conceal the origin of her smear)https://t.co/TXDdJegP6F pic.twitter.com/7f1kQQjZi2

The New York Post confirms:
Special Counsel John Durham asserted in a court filing Friday that the CIA concluded data from Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann alleging coordination between Donald Trump and Russia was “not technically plausible” and was “user created.”
