Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) on Tuesday, reacted to the latest filings from the Durham probe, telling host Brett Baier during Fox News’ “Special Report” that it is “one of the biggest political scandals in American history” if proven to be true.
On February 11, 2022, Special Counsel John Durham filed the government’s motion to inquire into potential conflicts of interest in the Michael Sussmann case — alleging that lawyers from Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign in 2016 had paid to “infiltrate” servers belonging to Trump Tower and later the White House, in order to establish an “inference” and “narrative” to bring to federal government agencies linking Donald Trump to Russia.
“This is a big deal. It’s shocking to me this is not receiving more coverage in the press. I don’t think any of the Sunday shows mentioned it,” Senator Rubio told Baier of the latest filing from Special Counsel John Durham.
“What we’re talking about here is not simply the probe that you’re using data scientists to make up a story or links between Trump and Russia, but the White House. Apparently there was a private company that had a contract to manage servers for the president of the United States in the White House, and they were sharing information to help build a narrative for a political operation,” the Florida senator explained of Durham’s findings.
“If this is all proven true, it would be one of the biggest political scandals in American history. It would be a crime, no doubt about it, and it would tell you why these people think they can get away with it. They think they can get away with it, because the media will not report on it,” Senator Rubio said.
“If this was the other way, if this was a story about how the Trump campaign had hired some data experts and others to go out there and do this to a President Clinton, this would be like, we wouldn’t be able to talk about anything else around here,” he suspected. Continued Below

Rodney Joffe (identified as Tech Executive-1 in the Michael Sussmann indictment and in the latest filing discussing the conflict) exploited proprietary – and perhaps classified – data provided by DARPA to further their own political attacks, and how that might result in charges. It was later confirmed that two former DARPA employees have given grand jury testimony.
According to Durham, Joffe and his associates exploited internet data from “the Executive Office of the President of the United States” to further their own political agenda. They had come to possess this data as part of a “sensitive arrangement” with the U.S. government.
This wasn't limited to the Office of the President of the U.S.
They also exploited data from Trump Tower, another Trump building, and a "healthcare provider."
