Fusion GPS loses its fight over “privileged” documents

Techno Fog:

We’ve documented the ongoing battle to obtain Fusion GPS e-mails and documents in the Michael Sussmann case. At issue in the Sussmann case are 38 e-mails and attachments between and among Fusion GPS, Rodney Joffe, and Perkins Coie. These 38 e-mails and attachments are among approximately 1,500 documents that Fusion GPS withheld from production to the grand jury based on “privilege.”

What Fusion GPS has to produce.

Today, the court in the Sussmann case made an important ruling and rejected, in large measure, Fusion’s assertion of attorney-client or work-product privilege:

A. Application of the Asserted Privileges
Applying the two asserted privileges to the 38 emails it has reviewed, the Court finds that
Fusion GPS had no valid basis to withhold 22 of the 38 emails, but that it has met its burden to
establish privilege over the remaining 16. The Court analyzes each category separately.

Fusion GPS will have to produce these documents to Special Counsel Durham by May 16, 2022. What do these e-mails and documents contain? The court’s order provides guidance, stating they relate to:

Internal Fusion GPS e-mails discussing the Alfa Bank data and e-mails circulating draft versions of the Alfa Bank white papers that were “ultimately provided to the press and the FBI.”

Here are some examples of what these e-mails might include. These are privilege logs in Fusion GPS’s other litigation relating to the Alfa Bank hoax. more

  1. Anyone gone to jail yet?

    Anyone been convicted? Tried? Indicted?

    No?

    Have they taken Pedo Biden’s stolen authority from him yet?

    No?

    …get used to that.

    Shakespeare knows what this is.

    “It is a tale
    Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
    Signifying nothing.”
    Shakespeare, “Hamlet”, Act V, Scene 5.

    …they are just head-faking with an illusion of “Da Process” while running out the clock to the next fraudulent “election”

    …after that, it will be like none of this ever even existed.

    …I think you mean this…

    “DICK
    The first thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers.”

    …but the previous line sounds like what they are trying to do.

    “CADE
    I thank you, good people: there shall be no money;
    all shall eat and drink on my score; and I will
    apparel them all in one livery, that they may agree
    like brothers and worship me their lord.”
