Meanwhile, Baker was asked if this type of interaction with an outside counsel had ever occurred before. In response, Baker admitted that his interaction with Sussmann was singularly unique:
Mr. Baker: I that that’s correct. Sitting here today, that’s the only one I can remember
Sussmann was never interviewed by the FBI, which Baker also found surprising, noting:
“It is logical to me that we [the FBI] would go back and interview [Sussmann].”
Sussmann WAS interviewed by the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence on Dec. 18, 2017.
Meadows to Baker:
“Everything about this investigation seems to have been done in an abnormal way, the way that you have gotten the information, the way that Strzok got information, the way that Ohr was used, the way that Perkins Coie actually came in and gave you information.”
Baker's Response:
“I had a jaundiced eye about everything, yes. I had skepticism about all this stuff. I was concerned about all of this. This whole situation was horrible, and it was novel and we were trying to figure out what to do, and it was highly unusual.”
Sussmann also pressured the FBI, later telling Baker he was speaking w/NYT.
Mr. Baker: He was the source—he told me the New York Times was aware of this. We, the FBI, went to the New York Times and then started a series of conversations with them to try to get them to slow down.
Sussmann used his personal relationship w/Baker to ensure that his information would receive immediate attention.
You’re the FBI’s general counsel, if you’re getting information from an outside source and passing it on, that means something.”
Baker: “I suppose so, Congressman.” https://twitter.com/themarketswork/status/1494362451193651208?s=20&t=U3sjUnAj3dwkQXt1YFeIew

🎩TIP Techno Fog @Techno_Fog Here's why Sussmann is likely to fail.
Sussmann was trading on his name - former DOJ lawyer, purported cybersecurity expert - to convince the FBI to open an investigation.
He knew his reputation was material to what the FBI would do with the (false) Alfa Bank info.
