Durham’s office submitted an additional filing clarifying that OIG had requested custody of “a number of FBI cell phones,” including the two owned by Baker, in 2018. And they had never received them.
The supplemental filing added that OIG had held a conference call with Durham in which “the cellphones were likely discussed.”
“Special Counsel Durham has no current recollection of that conference call, nor does Special Counsel Durham currently recall knowing of the OIG’s possession of the former FBI General Counsel’s cellphones before January 2022,” the filing reads.
Durham Investigation indicts 3, so far
Ex-FBI attorney Kevin Clinesmith pleaded guilty. And was convicted in 2020 of altering emails in the Russia probe. Clinesmith partially forged a government document. Because in order to obtain a FISA warrant a lie was necessary. He made the change to justify the surveillance and wiretapping of Carter Page.
In 2021, the Durham investigation had two indictments. Hillary Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann who is accused of lying to the FBI to kick off the Russia investigation. And Igor Danchenko, a Russian analyst who was a source for the 2016 dossier of allegations about Trump.
