Breitbart: Former FBI Counsel Testifies: Michael Sussmann Said Not Working for Any Client
Former FBI general counsel James A. Baker testified Thursday that former Hillary Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann told him that he was not working for a client when conveying claims Donald Trump was colluding with Russia.

Already, in pre-trial motions, Durham had revealed the existence of a text message from Sussmann to Baker asking for an urgent meeting, and adding: “I’m coming on my own – not on behalf of a client or company – want to help the Bureau.”
On Thursday, Baker authenticated that message and added additional testimony, which corroborated testimony from earlier witnesses from the FBI, who all said that they believed or had been told that Sussmann was operating on his own.
Sussmann was allegedly working for the Clinton campaign at the time, and allegedly concealed that knowledge.
As the New York Post notes, the result of Sussmann’s alleged lie was that the FBI considered him a trusted confidential source, which in turn meant that the FBI did not further investigate to determine the source of Sussmann’s information.
John Haughey of the Epoch Times also noted that Sussmann’s alleged lie meant that others within the FBI were more inclined to regard him as a credible source.
