In a Wednesday <a href=\"https:\/\/justthenews.com\/accountability\/russia-and-ukraine-scandals\/ex-fbi-intel-chief-says-clinton-campaign-used-contrived\">appearance<\/a> on \u201cJust the News, Not Noise,\u201d Brock said that evidence discovered in special counsel John Durham\u2019s investigation shows that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton\u2019s campaign, not Trump\u2019s, used \u201ccontrived disinformation\u201d to mislead voters.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is more than just political dirty tricks,\u201d Brock said. \u201cPolitical dirty tricks usually have some foundation in truth. But they just made stuff up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Durham\u2019s team of prosecutors are wrapping up preparations for a trial against former Perkins Coie attorney Michael Sussmann, who is charged with lying to the FBI about representing the Clinton campaign when he approached then-FBI special counsel James Baker in 2016 with later debunked evidence of a backchannel between the Trump Organization and Russia\u2019s Alfa Bank.<\/p>\n<p>Durham has released a trove of information about the origins of the Alfa Bank claims in recent court filings preparing for the Sussmann trial. One of Durham\u2019s filings revealed that the CIA had examined what Sussmann presented to Baker and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/in-other-words-it-was-made-up-jim-jordan-rips-trump-russia-conspiracy-after-latest-durham-filing\">concluded<\/a> that some of the information was not \u201ctechnically plausible\u201d and was \u201cuser created.\u201d Prosecutors said in a filing:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>For example, while the FBI did not reach an ultimate conclusion regarding the data\u2019s accuracy or whether it might have been in whole or in part genuine, spoofed, altered, or fabricated, Agency-2 concluded in early 2017 that the Russian Bank-1 data and Russian Phone Provider-1 data was not \u201ctechnically plausible,\u201d did not \u201cwithstand technical scrutiny,\u201d \u201ccontained gaps,\u201d \u201cconflicted with [itself],\u201d and was \u201cuser created and not machine\/tool generated.\u201d The Special Counsel\u2019s Office has not reached a definitive conclusion in this regard.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThis is the way disinformation is really exposed, not by some contrived government agency, but by evidence presented in court that gets at the truth of what happened,\u201d Brock said, referring to recent court filings in the Sussmann case. \u201cWhat Durham is methodically doing, is laying out a case that the Hillary Clinton campaign, the Democrat Party used contrived disinformation in a conspiracy, in a conspiratorial way, to deceive the American voter ahead of the election.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is much more than an attorney for the Clinton campaign lying to the FBI,\u201d said Brock. \u201cHe is using this charge to expose a larger story, a larger narrative.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A former head of FBI intelligence says that the Clinton campaign \u201cjust made stuff up\u201d about former President Donald Trump in 2016 to paint him as a Russian asset.Retired Assistant<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":70,"featured_media":1481933,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1467036","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1467036","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/70"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1467036"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1467036\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1481933"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1467036"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1467036"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1467036"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
