New Docs Reveal Tech Firm Used by Hillary to Illegally Spy on Trump’s Internet Activity Was Also on Biden’s Campaign Payroll in 2020

Newly released Federal Elections Commission (FEC) records obtained by the Washington Free Beacon reveal that the 2020 ‘Biden for President’ campaign employed the services of the same cybersecurity firm that Hillary Clinton reportedly used to illegally spy on Donald Trump during his 2016 campaign and Presidency.

Neustar Information Services, which is one of the main players at the center of Special Counsel John Durham’s investigation into the origins of the Trump-Russiagate hoax, was paid nearly $20,000 in 2020 for ‘accounting and compliance work’ by the Biden campaign, the documents revealed.

The questionable payments immediately raise questions about whether the snooping on Trump continued in the most recent election, especially considering the fact that the Biden and Clinton campaigns are the only two presidential committees to have ever paid for the companies services, according to the Washington Free Beacon.

“The [Biden] campaign paid Neustar Information Services in 2020 for accounting and compliance work, according to Federal Election Commission records. According to Durham, Neustar’s chief technology officer, Rodney Joffe, accessed sensitive web traffic data that the company maintained on behalf of the White House executive office in order to collect “derogatory” information about Donald Trump.

Joffe allegedly provided the information to Hillary Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann, who in turn gave it to the CIA during a meeting in February 2017. Durham charged Sussmann in September with lying to the FBI about his investigation of Trump.

The Biden campaign’s payments raise questions about whether Joffe continued snooping on Trump in the most recent election. The Biden and Clinton campaigns are the only two presidential committees to have ever paid Neustar, according to Federal Election Commission records.

Biden’s campaign paid Neustar $18,819 on Sept. 29, 2020, the records show. The Clinton campaign paid the firm $3,000 in May 2015 for mobile phone services. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee paid $3,000 to Neustar in 2017. Neustar executives and staffers contributed $17,906 to Biden’s campaign, FEC records show.”

Although Hillary’s campaign had only spent – on the books – $6,000 total on Neustar’s services, the money apparently went a long way. Hillary-super-fan and Neustar chief technology officer Rodney Joffe was in the perfect position to pull off the espionage, thanks to a “sensitive arrangement” in which the cybersecurity firm provides web services to the White House Executive office, according to Special Counsel Durham.

In his most recent court filing, Durham alleges that Joffe and others “exploited” and “mined” internet traffic data from the White House executive office, Trump Tower, and even Trump’s apartment building in Manhattan, “for the purpose of gathering derogatory information about Donald Trump.” Once the data was compiled, it would be sent off to Hillary’s campaign and others within the DC swamp to wield against Trump.

Joffe’s espionage had even laid the foundation for a bogus FBI investigation – due to his baseless claims of suspicious internet chatter between Alpha Bank’s servers and the Trump Organization, Hillary’s lawyer Michael Sussmann (who has been charged by Durham for lying to the FBI regarding the bogus Steele dossier) was able to successfully pressure the federal government into surveilling the Trump campaign. 

Fromthe Washington Free Beacon:

“According to Durham, Clinton campaign lawyers told campaign officials, including Jake Sullivan, about the Alfa Bank claims. Sullivan later joined the Biden campaign and currently serves as national security adviser. His wife is counselor to Attorney General Merrick Garland, who oversees the Durham probe and has final say over a release of a report of the investigation.

Federal investigators have debunked Joffe’s allegations of secret channels of communication between Trump and Russia. The Justice Department inspector general said the FBI determined by February 2017 that there was no basis to the Alfa-Trump allegation. Durham said in his court filing on Friday that his investigators found “no support” for the information Sussmann gave the CIA.”

Durham’s findings really call into question what the Biden campaign was up to when it hired a company that’s in the middle of an open investigation for its role in illegally spying on the then-sitting President. After all, Biden’s bill for Neustar’s services was over 3x what Hillary’s was.
