Special counsel John Durham provided 81,000 pages of discovery to indicted Democratic lawyer Michael Sussmann in his criminal inquiry into the Russia investigation, court filings show.
The reams of documents, which reveal details from grand jury subpoenas sent to 15 individuals and organizations likely including opposition research firm Fusion GPS, were produced this month after lawyers representing Sussmann, who denies any wrongdoing, demanded more information while calling the allegations that he lied to the FBI five years ago vague and confusing.
"Let me just say first about the money," Garland replied. "We’re now in a new fiscal year, and as everyone knows, Mr. Durham is continuing. So I think you can readily assume that his budget has been approved."
This was news as the Justice Department last disclosed Durham's financial activity in May, when it provided a breakdown of the expenditures made by the Special Counsel’s Office for the period from Oct. 19, 2020, when Durham was appointed special counsel by former Attorney General William Barr, through March 31. The total cost of Durham's endeavor during this period was about $1.5 million.

Don't document dumps like this usually mean the one providing the documents has a weak case/are trying to cover something up such as culpability or lack thereof and are trying to overwhelm the opposing side with mountains of pointless documents?
"The government," Durham said, "is working expeditiously to declassify large volumes of materials to provide to the defense” and within two weeks declassified documents will also be produced, including “more than 30 declassified reports of interviews conducted in the course of this aspect of the Special Counsel’s investigation” and “the majority of the FBI’s electronic ‘case file’ pertaining to its investigation of the Russian Bank-1 allegations.”
Among the documents the special counsel plans to hand over are “emails, memoranda, reports, and other records obtained from Agency-2," including write-ups of Sussmann’s February 2017 meeting with the unnamed agency, when Durham says Sussmann lied again, according to the court filings.

The documents have not been publicly released yet, as far as I know. Once the trials are over then possible some of it will get out. There might be a lot of fluff and irrelevant stuff among it all. As for the person who the indictment is against, don't want to be them.
Among these documents, the special counsel said, were those "received in response to grand jury subpoenas issued to fifteen separate individuals, entities, and organizations — including among others, political organizations, a university, university researchers, an investigative firm, and numerous companies.”

If Durham keeps climbing the ladder of this corrupt chain, he'll come across Biden/Obama as willing helpers on his way up, and Hillary Clinton as the "mastermind" at the top.

For some reason, something tells me Hillary Clinton is not the eagle at the top of the totem pole...

Everything thus far points to her. It was Hillary's lawyers, State Dept contacts, and business connections, who got the "entrap Trump" ball rolling for her.
Here is what Durham's team says is being produced right now: spectator.org...
Durham's movements are the biggest "under the radar" story of this year.
Movements the MSM would be all over if were Special Counsel Mueller, instead of Special Counsel Durham.

Wrong. Two Durham indictments already, with more to come.
