What’s left of conservative America is shocked to learn on Tuesday that the FBI actually “maintained” a “secure work environment” inside the Perkins Coie law offices, notorious as “the legal arm of the Democrat party.” The bureau doesn’t have one like it on the Republican side but still don’t see this as biased, or a conflict of interest, or anything else shady.

FBI safe with Sussmann
Michael Sussmann’s lawyers may have convinced the jury that his lie to the FBI didn’t matter but there’s still an avalanche of bones falling out of the Democrat closet. One of the skeletons which wandered loose points an accusing finger at the cozy relationship which the Federal Bureau of Instigation has with Hillary Clinton’s preferred team of attorneys.
They’re cuddled up so close they might as well be in bed with Hillary herself. The bureau set up shop inside the law firm all the way back in 2012.
Everyone knew that Michael Sussmann used to be a partner at Perkins Coie. The FBI knew exactly who he was and who he worked for in September of 2016.
They turned a blind eye, accepted his word that he was only there out of the goodness of his own heart, then gave him all the plausible deniability he would need in court. It apparently worked.
In a response letter to house Republicans including Jim Jordan and Matt Gaetz, which surfaced May 31, Perkins Coie admitted that “the FBI is responsible for maintaining a secure work environment.”
Not just any secure space, but one inside their own office suite. That work space remains in operation today. Guess who worked in that space.
Wray let it continue
The cat clawed it’s way out of the bag when a whistleblower came forward to claim that Perkins Coie, “the law firm that received 42 million dollars from the Democrat party,” had been “sharing a workspace with the FBI.” The congressmen demanded to know why.
They also wanted to know why alleged bureau director Christopher Wray would allow that to continue. Then, they found out “that a person operating out of that work space for the past 12 months was none other than Michael Sussmann himself.”
Four years after the lie which didn’t matter to a jury, the public is learning “Michael Sussmann was in fact operating this secure work environment.” Gaetz is shocked.
“What reason would there be for that? And what leverage would the Perkins law firm have over the FBI given this work they’re doing together?” It’s definitely not normal.
Jordan and Gaetz called up “former federal prosecutors on the Judiciary Committee, and throughout the country.” Not one of them was aware of any precedent for it. “Especially because Michael Sussmann was an election lawyer! Why in the world would an election lawyer be operating out of this facility in this way?” The FBI doesn’t seem to mind. The Hillary Clinton Fan Club needed somewhere to hold their meetings.
“The Democrat party shouldn’t have this special access, this special portal to the FBI, especially knowing what we do now—that they were often trying to take this opposition research, and use that for law enforcement counterintelligence purposes.” Weaponizing the Justice Department against your political opponent is a no-no. At least Nixon was man enough to resign when he got caught. Obama and his minions take the modern approach. Deny everything, hire good lawyers and rely on unlimited Deep State resources and friends in the global banking business to do the rest.
