Sussmann, who worked for Clinton, acquitted of lying to FBI in 2016

Jurors are picked from a pool of registered voters. If we assume that because they vote and support a candidate, they can't be impartial jurors, we no longer have a justice system.


There's a difference between someone who simply just votes and one who actually makes a monetary donation towards a candidate.
 
any other venue we probably do. federal employees and Clinton donors and a juror who's daughter
plays on a sports team with Sussman -we dont

Post the names of the jurors along with your evidence that someone voted to acquit him because of his/her daughter and a sports team. I'll wait.
 
nope. are you familiar with the text? the evidence was overwhelming -it was jury nullification
Ignoring for a moment it appears you have no idea what you're talking about...so your claim is that the jury decided this prosecution was brought in bad faith and you think that supports your point?

do you know the text? it verifies Bakers testimony, and no that's not my claim
 
The evidence is overwhelming. The text is unambiguous.
Maybe they looked at Baker's pettifogging- but that was outside the trial.. who knows.

We do now a lot -and the trial bought out the fact Clinton launched the Steele dossier and approved the alpha-bank crap that Joffe and company cooked up, her minions back doored it to the FBI ( Nellie ohr) the FISA'a were fake, the Special Counsel was appointed despite there was "no evidence ( per Page)
and more I cant think of off the top of my head. Is Sussman walks on some narrow charge it doesnt change
Crooked Hillary and the FBI complicity. It's a pyrrhic victory for the scoundrels who birthed and pushed the Hoax

This is going to be popcorn ready... for weeks.
 
This is pushing the same kind of M.O. that Trump pulled with the Emmy's, the 2016 election before he won it (and indeed after he won it , since he didn't win the popular vote', and the ongoing dialogue he is pushing over the 2020 election.

Frankly, the claim is sour grapes.
I disagree. It's no longer sour grapes, it is now in their DNA. If they don't win it must be rigged!

I'm sorry, I can't stop laughing at those idiots at Fox (and that idiot Jim Jordan).

How seriously pathetic can these losers be?

Wanna bet the fact that even if he did lie the jury found it had no material impact, as is required by the statute, won't come up.
 
And of course weenie liberals who live in their Mom's basement playing video games completely ignore the Democrat judge allowing obviously partisan liberals to dominate the jury.
I'm sorry, but Durham had enough opportunities to strike jurors. The judge has very little to do with this process.

You guys have been butt hurt over Trump's election loss for almost two years. How long will this loss last? Don't you all ever get tired?
 
do you know the text?
The text which happened BEFORE the day Durham indicted Sussman for? Do YOU know the text? Or are you just vomiting rhetoric in ignorance?
it verifies Bakers testimony
Which testimony of Bakers? Because he has repeatedly claimed, under oath, he did not ever remember Sussman making that claim during their September 19th meeting.
, and no that's not my claim
I can't help but notice you dodged the question. You are (erroneously) claiming this is jury nullification...why do you think it is a point in your favor to claim the jury heard this case and thought the prosecution was wrongful?
 
Durham did manage to get the fact that this Trump/Russian bank connection (October surprise?) was a fictional (and easily debunked) invention of the Clinton campaign revealed in open court. Durham my not turn out be as dumb as some folks hoped that he was.
No worse than Trump publicly asking Russia to find the 30,000 missing emails. Or Campaign officials meeting with Russian lawyers in Trump tower.

If HRC had won the election, this may have more relevance. Opposition research happens all the time, some dirty, some not so dirty.

Just so I'm clear...do you think it is proper for the DOJ to arrest and charge people with crimes in order to score political points? I find it hard to believe that you believe that, you've never struck me as the kind of poster to take that kind of a position.
 
They'll be talking a lot about the 'corrupt' jury.

Clearly, the cons are already doing this, and it's a sad thing to behold. Of course, in the Trump-o-sphere, justice is only served when a liberal gets found guilty or a con gets away with something.

It doesn't surprise me that those who can politicize absolutely everything are so ready to declare American justice corrupt. It's more projection.

Like the sitting President of the United States dispatching his personal lawyer to pressure Ukrainian officials to dig up dirt on Biden including having an Ambassador to Ukraine recalled? Trumpers have no business whining about the Clinton campaign when a sitting President uses the Oval Office to do his "opposition research".
 
Yep, that pesky material impact (loophole?) means that lying to the FBI about someone already under investigation was just peachy. ;)
Is that similar to a process crime the right was crowing about during the Mueller investigation?
 
Delusional takeaway from a blatantly partisan trial led by a liberal judge who allowed multiple liberals on the jury against the wishes of the prosecution.
Look at it this way, had the jury been half Trumpets, there still would have been a mistrial. And no way Durham would have tried it again. He would have looked even dumber than he already does.

No, but it is apparently legal to present fabricated “opposition research” material (even from foreign sources) to federal law enforcement agencies and to the press.
 
Apparently Trump thought so when he sent Rudy on his mission.

Yep, why not when it’s legal? Of course, it helps if (when?) the bulk of the MSM and DC bureaucracy is on your side.
