DNC-connected lawyer charged in the Durham probe says the indictment doesn't even explain what he's

accused of lying to the FBI about

The attorney charged in special counsel John Durham's investigation into the origins of the FBI's Russia probe said in a filing this week that the indictment against him is too vague to allow him to begin building a criminal defense.

Durham last month charged the Democratic-linked lawyer, Michael Sussman, with one count of lying to the FBI. He's accused of having "lied about the capacity in which he was providing" allegations to the FBI about what he claimed was a "secret communications channel" between the Trump Organization and Alfa Bank, a Russian bank.

The indictment said Sussman's alleged falsehoods impeded an FBI investigation.

On Wednesday night, Sussman argued in legal filings that the indictment "fails to allege the precise false statement that Mr. Sussmann purportedly made," and doesn't adequately explain how the FBI was impeded from doing its job.

a dem is indicted NOT EVEN Being told why...

America is broken, it happened when the MSM was erroneously termed as "liberal,"

The MSM can now NOT hold cons accountable and as a result the law wont either.

Was that intentional?
Probably. Looks like they manufactured a charge.

Good luck.
