I’m guessing someone didn’t like all the coverage of the Clinton connection to the Durham probe and the allegations in the Durham filing in the case against former Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann that revealed that servers connected to President Donald Trump were being surveilled for their DNS lookups.

After the news came out, the attorneys for Michael Sussmann moved to strike the factual background in the Durham filing that has raised all the furor, claiming essentially that Special Counsel John Durham said too much, and that the intent was “to politicize this case, inflame media coverage, and taint the jury pool.”

But then Sussmann’s attorneys moved to dismiss the entire case against him, basically arguing he didn’t say enough — that he didn’t state a case for the charge — and that Durham didn’t allege all the elements of the charge against him.

In the response to the first motion, Durham declared that there was “no basis” to strike any part of his filing, noting that the factual background was “central to proving” Sussmann’s “alleged criminal conduct.” Durham also noted that some of that was essential to laying out the potential conflicts that were the point of his Feb. 11 filing.
