'I would hope that this is only the first of several other indictments,' said Nunes, adding there are government officials he still wants to be held accountable. The indictment alleges Elias, who served as general counsel for the Clinton campaign, exchanged emails with the вЂњcampaign manager, communications director, and foreign policy advisor' about the Russian bank allegations, among other claims. The FBI investigated the claims and could not find evidence to support them but not before the media reported on the allegations and the Clinton campaign promoted the them leading up to the 2016 presidential contest.Д«eyond the 'circumstantial evidence' the California Republican said he already had, Nunes added, 'We now have emails and communications, and clearly, Durham's done interviews in this.' Nunes contended evidence in the 'slam dunk' indictment, which is 27 pages long, has solid evidence showing Sussmann was integral in helping the Clinton team develop the narrative there was a secret backchannel between RussiaвЂ™s Alfa Bank and the Trump Organization. This led to British ex-spy Christopher Steele's discredited anti-Trump dossier. Robby Mook, Hillary ClintonвЂ™s 2016 presidential campaign manager, said in 2017 he authorized Marc Elias - another attorney who, up until recently, worked for Perkins Coie - to hire an outside firm to dig up dirt on TrumpвЂ™s connections with Russia in 2016.

The Perkins Coie law firm has already been tied to the Russia matter. Sussmann pleaded not guilty to a charge of lying to the FBI on Friday, with lawyers insisting he never said he didn't have clients and was representing only the technology executive at the meeting five years ago.ДURHAM NOT EXPECTED TO BRING CHARGES TIED TO INTEL ASSESSMENT ON RUSSIAN ELECTION INTERFERENCE: REPORT Michael Sussmann, a former attorney from Perkins Coie, is accused of falsely telling the top FBI lawyer he had no clients when he was representing a technology executive and the Clinton campaign during a September 2016 meeting on possible links between former President Donald Trump and Russia. But, he cautioned the Clintons 'have a long history of their lawyers and agents disappearing.' Devin Nunes, the ranking member on the House Intelligence Committee, told Newsmax on Thursday there is evidence of a broad Russia collusion conspiracy - allegations the congressman's team investigated and referred to the Justice Department. The cybersecurity lawyer indicted this week by a grand jury in special counsel John Durham's investigation could end up being the 'fall guy' for Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign, warned a top House Republican.
