Sussmann, a cybersecurity lawyer, has been charged with lying to then-FBI General Counsel James Baker
“For starters, Mr. Sussmann is not charged with a conspiracy,” Cooper wrote.
They're saying that the introduction of evidence related to a conspiracy will be limited because that's not the crime he's charged with.
As an aside, lying is how they get most people for stuff like this. The feds launch an investigation and lack the ability to prove the underlying charge, but if anything you said to a federal officer was not true/correct they can charge you with lying. That's all they were able to convict Martha Stewart on in their insider trading investigation for example. The correct answer is to refuse to speak to law enforcement for any reason, and if you have to say something, do it through an attorney.
Federal District Court Judge Christopher Cooper, an appointee of former President Obama, in his 24-page order issued Saturday narrowed the evidence Durham’s prosecutors can present when Sussmann’s trial gets under way May 16 in Washington, DC, federal court.
