(Jacob Bruns, Headline USA) Leftist elections fixer and Democrat lawyer Marc Elias admitted earlier this week that his influence over the questionable Fusion GPS was greater than he initially let on, Breitbart reported.
Fusion GPS coordinated with the law firm Perkins Coie and Hillary Clinton‘s 2016 presidential campaign to concoct the Russiagate hoax.
Elias admitted to being part of the arranging of the infamous “Russia dossier” in 2016. He made his statement during the trial of Michael Sussmann, former lawyer for Hillary Clinton‘s campaign.
Sussmann is charged with lying to the FBI by hiding his position within the Clinton campaign when speaking with FBI agent Peter Baker about potential Trump ties to Russia.
Some with access to the trial noted that Elias made it as difficult as possible for Judge Algor to question him, but the judge’s questioning eventually revealed Elias’ connections to Fusion GPS.
Algor finishes questioning Elias. About 90 minutes of wading through syrup. Last question was: “Did you have the discretion to direct Fusion?” Answer: “Yes.” #SussmanTrial

“Algor finishes questioning Elias,” one Twitter user wrote.
“About 90 minutes of wading through syrup. Last question was: ‘did you have the discretion to direct Fusion?’ Answer: ‘yes.'”
Elias also noted that he agreed with other witnesses that, in his opinion, Russia worked against Hillary Clinton and her campaign in her 2016 campaign.
“We absolutely were” under attack, Elias said, with publication of Russia-hacked emails. “Rather than do what any decent human would do and condemn it, Donald Trump said, ‘I hope Russia is listening’ and asked them to find 30,000 emails “he said were missing.” #SussmannTrial

“‘We absolutely were under attack,” Elias apparently told the court.
He also noted how disgusted he was when then-Presidential candidate Donald Trump said that he hoped that the Russians would recover some of the missing Clinton emails.
