Sussmann's lawyers have now confirmed what we said earlier, that Joffe was close to the FBI. In other words, Joffe didn't need Sussmann to funnel info to the FBI.

Looks to me like they've blown each other up because using Sussmann proves that this wasn't a "good samaritan" tip. https://t.co/5A7lJOlbio
