If the jury finds otherwise will you leave this site forever? Yes or no? Also please post your law credentials as Durham clearly disagrees. Thanks in advance.There was no conflict of interest. It was Durham who was doing his best to invent a conflict of interest;
Both Sussmann's September 2016 meeting with the FBI and the February 2017 meeting with the CIA centered on suspicions developed by cybersecurity researchers who specialize in sifting DNS data in search of hacking, botnets and other threats.
A military research organization had asked Georgia Tech researchers to help scrutinize a 2015 Russian malware attack on the White House's network. After it emerged that Russia had hacked Democrats, they began hunting for signs of other Russian activity targeting people or organizations related to the election, using data provided by Neustar.
Sussmann's meeting with the FBI involved odd data the researchers said might indicate communications between the Trump Organization and Alfa Bank, a Kremlin-linked institution. The FBI dismissed suspicions of a secret communications channel as unfounded. In the indictment of Sussmann, Durham insinuated that the researchers did not believe what they were saying. But lawyers for the researchers said that was false and that their clients believed their analysis.
The meeting with the CIA involved odd data the researchers said indicated there had been communications with Yota servers in Russia coming from networks serving the White House; Trump Tower; Trump's Central Park West apartment building; and Spectrum Health, a Michigan hospital company that also played a role in the Alfa Bank matter. The researchers also collaborated on that issue, according to Westby and Rasch, and Dagon had prepared a "white paper" explaining the analysis, which Sussmann later took to the CIA. Durham's filing is bull shit;
Durham's filing cast doubt on the researchers' suggestion that interactions between devices in the United States and Yota servers were inherently suspicious, saying that there were more than 3 million such DNS logs from 2014-17 — and that such logs from the White House dated back at least that long.
But Westby and Rasch reiterated that YotaPhones are extremely rare in the United States and portrayed 3 million DNS logs over three years as "paltry and small relative to the billions and billions" of logs associated with common devices such as iPhones.
"Yota lookups are extremely concerning if they emanate from sensitive networks that require protection, such as government networks or people running for federal office," they said.
