The usual suspects are already circling the wagons around the techie “experts” who spied on Donald Trump. If their defense feels tired, it’s because we’ve been through it before. It’s Christopher Steele all over again.Special counsel John Durham destroyed the last shreds of Mr. Steele’s credibility last year, proving that the paid-for-hire spook had relied on fabrications for the infamous dossier the Federal Bureau of Investigation used in its Trump probe. The special counsel is now dismantling that other big claim of Trump-Russia “collusion” — the Alfa Bank narrative. ......In recent court filings, Durham explains that these tech experts — including Rodney Joffe, formerly of Neustar, Inc. — were in cahoots with the same crew as Steele, using the same playbook.They worked with Democratic lawyers at Perkins Coie and opposition-research firm Fusion GPS, with the goal of dredging up “derogatory” information on Trump that would please “VIPs” in the Clinton campaign. The techies did so, the Durham indictment says, in part by mining protected Internet data that had been supplied to a government contractor — allowing them to snoop on the White House as well as Trump Tower and Trump’s Manhattan apartment....Start with the company that the “apolitical” Joffe kept. One of his colleagues involved in the project and referenced in the Sussmann indictment is Paul Vixie, whose Twitter feed sports a long record of liberal, anti-Trump sentiments. Another member of the circle — who took on the job of publishing the Joffe data — is L. Jean Camp, an Indiana University computer-science professor and Clinton supporter who called on Americans to join the “resistance” against Trump....Here’s the most revealing bit: “Max” (Joffe) also explained to the New Yorker how vitally important it was in 2016 to make sure the threat his team discovered was “known before the election.” Which was why he and his lawyer first went with their information to the press.
