Taking the limelight in the courtroom was a file titled \u2018Crimson Rhino.\u2019 This file was reportedly basis for the investigation into the 2016 campaign and was provided to former top FBI lawyer James Baker from Sussmann.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s origins come from tech executive Rodney Joffe who was tied to the\u00a0Hillary Clinton campaign and was a confidential human source for the FBI. He ordered client Jared Novick who ran a data analysis firm to do research on several people tied to then candidate Trump. He also said he felt uncomfortable doing the work because he knew it was opposition research for a political campaign.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, a mid-level FBI agent from the Chicago field office Kurt Hydie took the stand. Hydie reportedly wrote a memo that formally kicked off his office\u2019s investigation. He admitted to writing a typographical error when he said the information came from the Department of Justice and not Sussmann. That caused confusion within the FBI where officers thought they were doing research for the federal government not a political actor.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cThat created a lot of confusion,\u201d Hydie said. \u201cMay not have had otherwise.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Berkowitz is talking about this Grasso email showing Joffe called him and provided some info about the Alfa Bank matter. Grasso recalls Joffe describing it as being a matter the FBI was investigating about about coms between Trump campaign and some entity in Russia.\/41 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/7WTKe8fnkF\">pic.twitter.com\/7WTKe8fnkF<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Charlie Savage (@charlie_savage) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/charlie_savage\/status\/1529498562651987968?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 25, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>However, experts lament the findings in the Sussmann case may not translate to other potentially high profile cases. This includes a possible prosecution of Hillary Clinton herself. The presiding judge of the Sussmann Trial Chris Cooper stressed the proceedings focused solely on Sussmann and whether he lied to the FBI or not.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, Special Counsel John Durham\u2019s team has one more witness to call Wednesday before turning over the trial to the defense. They could wrap their case as soon as Friday and leave it up to the jurors to decide Sussmann\u2019s fate.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/police-seize-arsenal-of-firearms-from-san-jose-man\/\">Police Seize Arsenal Of Firearms From San Jose Man<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Michael Sussmann, a cybersecurity lawyer who represented the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign in 2016, leaves federal courthouse in Washington, Monday, May 16, 2022.
