[W:#290]Michael Sussmann found not guilty of lying to FBI in Durham investigation

Very well. List the political persuasion of each jury member. If your opinion is correct then there should have been at least 4 Trump supporters on the jury.
That right, but you missed the point. There are Trump supporters that are capable of thinking on there own. I know it's not many of them. That's why lawyers do the selection.
 

"Hillary Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann was acquitted Tuesday of lying to the FBI, in the first trial of special counsel John Durham's investigation.
The verdict is a major defeat for Durham and his Justice Department prosecutors, who have spent three years looking for wrongdoing in the Trump-Russia probe. He claimed Sussmann lied during a 2016 meeting in which he passed a tip to the FBI about Donald Trump and Russia.
The Washington, DC, federal jury deliberated for six hours over two days before reaching its verdict."

Womp womp, looks like all those wasted tax payer dollars by this scam artist Durham has led to nothing......

LOCK HER UP!!
:ROFLMAO:
 
Yawn. No surprise. I'd be willing to bet the deed to my house on the verdict being decided this way.
Jonathan Turley: “I mean, he is facing a jury that has three Clinton donors, an AOC donor, and a woman whose daughter is on the same sports team with Sussmann’s daughter. With the exception of randomly selecting people out of the DNC headquarters, you could not come up with a worse jury”

 
how much of our $$$$ has Durham spent?

Jonathan Turley has brain worms.

Stop listening to him.

The prosecutor should have done a better job with the venue and strikes.

It seems like a lot of people in this thread think that "not guilty" is synonymous with innocent.
Not guilty is not guilty.

Just for once...just once...conservatives should just accept the results of investigations and trials that don't go how they wished they did.
 
Just like with Rittenhouse?

I mean if we are going to play this game, we can insert anyone we want.

I think it's important to look at the evidence and the feds had a strong case (they usually won't even try a weak case), if you want to compare to Rittenhouse the prosecution had a weak case that they probably wouldn't have tried except for the political and social pressure.

I accept not guilty. I'm just pointing out how a lot of people are turning not guilty into innocent.

Do you think juries are obligated to consist entirely of trump supporters every time there's a trial that you want them to rule guilty on?

Strong case as in the FBI agent not remembering if he was lied to?

Sounds like a lot of whining to me. Turley and friends need to suck it up buttercups.

You're just trying to hang on to a narrative that lets you believe he's guilty. He's not guilty of the crime he was accused of. That means he's innocent of that crime.

Unless you're trying to communicate that he's guilty of other crimes?
 
didn't a bunch of people here (or was it the Hannity message board that took away from 1st Amendment rights) that had this as their avatar?...

It's funny that on all the right-wing media, this is exactly what they were saying. On the left-wing media, it was just the opposite.
