this case progresses. if there s classified information, michael sussmann s attorneys would need special clearance to view it. susman was indicted a week ago today. durham says susman went to the fbi and linked trump and the russians. he did see as a citizen, not for the clinton campaign. the fact that he worked at the department of justice at the same time michael sussmann did in the 1990s. this happened sometimes a lot in the legal community. people tend to know each other. another interesting connection, martha, the judge happens to be married to an attorney that represented lisa page there on your screen. our viewers will remember she worked as an attorney for the attorney and her texts criticizing candidate trump in
