Hillary Attorney Acquitted of Lying to the FBI
Under TFG, the DOJ appointed attorney John Durham as special counsel to dig dirt and trump up (pun intended) charges against everyone he could find to fabricate a case that the FBI and Obama were “spying” on the TFG campaign in 2016. Ignoring the fact that TFG operatives are actively trying to collude with the Russians to swing the vote away from Hillary, Durham threw everything against the wall, hoping something would stick. The victim of that smear campaign was cybersecurity lawyer Michael Sussman, who was feeding data to the FBI about his suspicions about Russian interference. When one of those cases he reported proved wrong, Durham jumped on it like a duck on a June bug, and charged Sussman with lying to the FBI.
That case failed yesterday, when a federal jury acquitted him. Speaking to the press, jury forewoman said,
“Politics were not a factor. We felt really comfortable being able to share what we thought. We had concise notes, and we were able to address the questions together. Personally, I don’t think it should have been prosecuted. (The government) could have spent our time more wisely.”
Boom.
