Fusion GPS employees have allegedly sent hundreds of emails with unverified accusations against former President Donald Trump in hopes to trigger negative news stories about him, as revealed by Special Counsel John Durham, in a report by Washington Times.
\nMr. Durham was responding to efforts of people with ties to Hillary Clinton\u2018s presidential campaign to keep potentially explosive evidence out of his hands during the upcoming trial of a Clinton campaign lawyer accused of lying to the FBI.<\/em>
\nIn a court motion filed late Monday, Mr. Durham said the slew of emails undercuts the assertion of Clinton campaign officials that Fusion GPS\u2019s research for them should be protected under attorney-client privilege.<\/em>
\nSome of the stories pushed to news outlets, which was obviously unverified and in hopes to give former President Donald Trump bad press, was the following:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. A Wall Street Journal article about a Trump adviser meeting with a former KGB official close to Russian President Vladimir Putin.<\/li>\n
  2. A Washington Post story about a Trump campaign adviser investing in Russia.<\/li>\n
  3. New York Times and Reuters articles about the FBI investigating a secret communications setup between Mr. Trump and Russia\u2019s Alfa Bank.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Some Republicans are referring to Durham’s information as “dirty tricks” by Democrats, particularly the Hillary Clinton campaign.
    \nSen. Ron Johnson offered the following statement to the Washington Times:\u00a0 “We\u2019ve known for quite some time what happened here. And what the Durham indictments are just proving is how not only complicit but the Clinton campaign did this. They literally did this… What the Clinton campaign did in terms of political dirty tricks, we are still putting up with the repercussions. Would Vladimir Putin have invaded Ukraine if Trump was still in office? That\u2019s an interesting question.”
    \nThe shady revelations made by John Durham now have Clinton campaign officials in defensive positions, backed up against the wall, and people like Robby Mook, Marc Elias, and John Podesta are speaking out in hopes to say Fusion GPS provided a legal service and it should be ‘rendered off-limits to Mr. Durham\u2019s investigation into the origins of the FBI\u2019s Trump-Russia collusion probe.’
    \nCritics will suggest that wanting their work off-limits means they have something to hide.
    \nThe Washington Times report<\/a> further stated, about the Clinton officials getting defensive, that “They argued in affidavits that Fusion GPS\u2019s work was intended to provide legal advice to avoid liability for defamation or libel.”
    \nEven more, the three campaign officials who allegedly signed an affidavit refused to respond to requests for comments about this situation when the Washington Times reached out. They also reached out to a spokesperson for Hillary Clinton and received NO response.
    \nNone of the three campaign officials who signed affidavits responded to requests for comment from The Washington Times. A spokesperson for Mrs. Clinton did not return a request for comment.
    \nWashington Times report continued:
    \nIf the material is privileged, Mr. Durham said, then Fusion GPS would have exercised caution before peddling unverified research to reporters.<\/em>
    \n\u201cIf rendering such advice was truly the intended purpose of Fusion GPS\u2019s retention, one would also expect the investigative firm to seek permission and\/or guidance from [the Clinton campaign] or its counsel before sharing such derogatory materials with the media or otherwise placing them into the public domain,\u201d Mr. Durham wrote in court filings.<\/em>
    \n\u201cIn other words, if the purpose of Fusion GPS\u2019s retention was \u2014 as Mr. Elias implies \u2014 to determine the bounds of what could (and could not) be said publicly without committing libel or defamation, then the record would reflect genuine efforts to remain within those bounds. And it would do so confidentially,\u201d he said.<\/em>
    \nThe dispute over Fusion GPS\u2019s activities is whether Mr. Durham can use the information in his case against Michael Sussmann, a Clinton campaign lawyer charged with making false statements to the FBI.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
