We Are About To Witness A Birth Of A New Nation,Everything Is About To Change – Ep. 2689

• The Evidence Thus Far.
• Here is what we know so far.
• Grand Jury Testimony. The following witnesses (some identified by name; others given general descriptions in Durham’s filings) have testified before a grand jury. The Government’s Discovery Update in the Sussmann case, filed 1/25/2022, provides some of this information at pages 6-7.

1. Former FBI General Counsel James Baker.
2. A former FBI Assistant Director for Counter Intelligence. We are confident this is Bill Priestap, to whom Baker relayed the Alfa Bank materials after it was provided by Michael Sussmann. See Baker’s 10/3/2018 House testimony at page 100.
3. Peter Strzok (likely). The 1/25/22 Sussmann filing by Durham states there has been grand jury testimony by “A former FBI Deputy Assistant Director for Counterintelligence.” We conclude this is probably Peter Strzok. Baker testified that he might have contacted “Pete Strzok or Bill Priestap” after receiving the documents from Sussmann.  See Baker’s 10/3/2018 House testimony at page 99. Strzok wrote that he had a “minor role” in these events. We asked Strzok about this; he hasn’t responded.
4. Daniel Jones (likely). Back in October 2020, Dexter Filkins with the New Yorker reported that Durham had “asked” Jones to give testimony before a grand jury. Jones is a former staffer for Diane Feinstein who, per the Daily Caller, secured $50 million in funding to investigate, with Fusion GPS and Steele Russian interference with the 2016 election.
5. Charles Dolan (likely). Dolan is the Clinton ally “source” of Steele primary subsource Igor Danchenko. We conclude he has testified before a grand jury based on statements within the Danchenko indictment (such as Dolan stating the Clinton Campaign did not direct his interactions with Danchenko and other Russian nationals).
6. An FBI Special Agent who served as case agent for the FBI’s Alfa Bank investigation. Identity currently unknown.
7. An FBI Headquarters Supervisory Special Agent assigned to the Alfa Bank investigation. Identity currently unknown.
8. Two former employees of DARPA (identified as Agency-1 in the Sussmann indictment). This NYT article explains DARPA’s relationship with Georgia Tech, and how Georgia Tech researchers worked with Rodney Joffe.
9. Eight current and former employees of the CIA (identified as “Agency-2” in the Sussmann indictment.) This would likely include Caroline Krass, a John Brennan ally who was the CIA General Counsel at the time.
10. Eight current and former employees of Neustar (identified as “Internet Company-1” in the Sussmann indictment).
11. Four current employees of Packet Forensics, LLC and VOSTROM Holdings Inc. (Likely “Internet Company-2” and “Internet Company-3” in the Sussmann indictment.)
12. The former chairman of Perkins Coie.
13. A former employee of the Clinton Campaign.
14. Four current and former employees of Georgia Tech.
15. An employee of Rodney Joffe.

Some observations about the grand jury testimony:

• First, by no means is that a comprehensive list. Durham’s scope covers more that what some of these witnesses can offer – such as whether he continues to look into the activities and investigations of the team working for Special Counsel Mueller.
• Second, the testimony of Peter Strzok and Bill Priestap is obviously significant. The subject matter of that testimony is the relevant question. Was it limited to the Alfa Bank allegations, or did Durham dig deeper?
• Interviews.   Some of these people have also testified before a grand jury. These include:

1. Durham’s interview with Steven Schrage – who previously worked under Stefan Halper. This includes Durham’s review of records and recordings relating to Halper (confirmed here at Matt Taibbi’s Substack).
2. Baker, Strzok, and Priestap.
3. More than 24 current and former FBI employees. This would likely include testimony from FBI Agent William Barnett, who believed Mueller’s focus on Flynn was “used as a means to ‘get Trump.’”
4. Joseph Mifsud. Recall Barr and Durham’s trip to Italy.
5. A former chairman of Perkins Coie.
6. A former employee of the Clinton Campaign.
7. Current and former employees of DARPA and the CIA.
8. A February 12, 2021 interview with Georgia Tech researcher Angelos Keromytis. Confirmed through a FOIA by RyanM.
9. Current and former employees of Neustar, Packet Forensics, LLC and VOSTROM Holdings Inc. One employee of Rodney Joffe.
10. Charles Dolan.

Documents/Evidence/Grand Jury Subpoenas for Records. Then we get to the documents Durham possesses. While this is not an exclusive list, court filings confirm he has the following records (or records from the following persons/entities):

1. The Clinton Campaign. Grand jury subpoenas for documents were issued to the Clinton Campaign as recently as September 2021. Source: CNN. Durham already possesses at least some Clinton Campaign records. Recall that Durham has stated the Clinton Campaign and “multiple former employees of that campaign” are in “matters before the Special Counsel.”
2. Hillary for America. In the January 25, 2022 filing in the Sussmann case, Durham cites to having received documents from “a political organization.” We believe this is Hillary for America, which helped pay for the Steele dossiers.
3. Perkins Coie. Durham already has Perkins Coie billing records, notes, and e-mails. The e-mails include correspondence with Fusion GPS and the Clinton Campaign.
4. Neustar, Packet Forensics, LLC, and VOSTROM Holdings Inc.
5. Georgia Tech.
6. Baker’s two phones (previously in possession of OIG).
7. Mifsud’s phones.
8. A public relations firm that advised Perkins Coie about Sussmann’s meeting with Baker.
9. Phone logs for Baker and Priestap. Likely Peter Strzok phone logs as well. Phone logs from eight current or former FBI employees. Phone logs between Sussmann and FBI personnel.
10. Nearly 400 e-mails between Perkins Coie and the FBI.
11. FBI/CIA notes regarding the Sussmann 2016 and 2017 meetings with the agencies’ general counsel.
12. Internal FBI e-mails and messages. The Sussmann filing states Durham has these relevant to Sussmann, lending a credible belief that Durham directed the FBI to produce internal messages/e-mails relating to his other areas of inquiry.
13. Records/documents/evidence collected by IG Horowitz in his review of the Carter Page FISAs.
14. Records/documents/evidence relating to the OIG matter presented by Sussmann and Joffe.
15. FBI Inspection Division Materials. Durham has requested, but not yet received, “the interview reports and associated documents for a number of current and former FBI personnel who were interviewed by the Inspection Division” relating to Crossfire Hurricane.
16. All FISA records relating to Danchenko’s “Russian Sub-Srouce-1,” identified as Olga Galkina. Chuck Ross reported: “The IG report indicates that the FBI had Section 702 coverage on Galkina, which would have allowed the agency to surveil her communications.”

• But wait, there’s more.
• Durham is reportedly looking into the FBI’s investigation of the Clinton Foundation and into the investigation run Special Counsel Mueller – which may include their representations to various courts and the destruction of evidence/government property by Andrew Weissmann, et al (the phone wiping controversy). Whether those areas of inquiry produced anything of note remains to be seen.
• Finally, all of what we described likely encompasses millions of pages of documents. Durham will produce over half a million pages of documents in the Sussmann case alone
