Hillary-Lawyer Sussman Acquitted Of Lying To FBI In 'Russia Hoax' Farce
Twitter - Zero Hedge ^ | May 31st, 2022 | Tyler Durden

Michael Sussmann, a lawyer representing Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign, has been found not guilty of a single count of lying to the FBI when he said he was not working on behalf of any client when he alleged a covert communications channel between the Trump Organization and Russia's Alfa Bank.

Sussmann was charged under 18 U.S.C. 1001 with lying to the FBI during a meeting with then-FBI general counsel James Baker when he came forward with what he claimed was evidence of possible covert communications between the Trump organization and Alfa, a Russian bank. Sussmann allegedly concealed that he was representing the Clinton campaign, which he billed for his efforts.

The verdict comes after a two week trial led to more than a day of deliberations... by this jury:

Well, we’ll see.

I would hope not, but that has clearly been the wish for a
long time, if I read Washington’s political atmosphere
anywhere near accurately.

Even the Republicans couldn’t care less.

Most secure election in history and all...

Jury nullification in Hillary's favor...

What did anybody expect from a DC jury?

Well, she was named in the trial.

I realize the reasons for you saying that, and I certainly
wouldn’t state you’re dead wrong.

I don’t think Durham is as big a tool as many think right
about now. I could be dead wrong. We’ll see.

All branches have to fail, apparently.

There’s something to be proven, here.

No way Durham didn’t expect this judge & jury & outcome.

Durham only mildly objected to the clear and present conflicts, including in the judge and among that Marxist jury.

What did do was Expose Hillary Clinton, out loud and under oath, and, Jake Sullivan.

Throw in, easily, all the dirty top officials of the FBI, and their connections to dirty Joefe as the “fixer” and you have Sedition all around, from the bench to the jury chamber.

Nice play.

On to the US Supreme Court?

Will the SCourt be exposed next? Likely.

Plus... in this Sussman case eventual criminal Jury Nullification will compound charges.

This isn’t over.
Timing.

ANY doubt of a two tiered system of justice has been layer to rest.

Yes a judge can overrule a jury verdict. Only case I remember of it was the Au Pair murder case back in the 90s. The jury found the young woman guilty, judge overruled them. I don’t know if a judge can reverse a ‘not guilty’ verdict though.

Not surprising. The judge said the jury couldn’t consider the text from Sussman the day before the meeting with Baker because it wasn’t part of the indictment and introduced late in the process. So basically it came down to a he said, he said case. The various note takers that confirmed he wasn’t was doing it for a client all had amnesia. Sussman’s defense was even if it was a lie it wasn’t material. The 7th floor ran with it even though agents debunked the hoax right away. Discusting.

So it’s pretty much going to take a revolution to bring about any reform or change to the federal government. I knew the justice system was broken this is merely a confirmation of that fact.

Did Durham seek a change of venue?

Good question this was probably just a show trial with Durham playing his part in investigating the matter, but never delivering justice.
