Former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe on Sunday denounced the acquittal of former Hillary Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann, calling the verdict "contrary to the evidence."
In an interview on Fox News' "Sunday Morning Futures," Ratcliffe lamented the judicial decision to not allow certain evidence in the case.
"The verdict was disappointing because it was contrary to the evidence," he said. "Michael Sussmann's own text messages confirmed exactly what the government said, which is that he claimed to just be a private citizen coming in when he had a story about a connection between the Trump campaign server and a Russian bank, which was clearly false, when the evidence clearly showed that he was acting on behalf of the Clinton campaign."
"It wasn't a judge verdict," he added, because "the judge in this case wouldn't allow certain evidence of the Clinton conspiracy to be included."
But Ratcliffe said the "bigger picture" is that though special counsel John Durham's prosecution may have lost this battle … "they're clearly winning the war."
"The most powerful testimony to come out of this was admissions by the Clinton campaign about the fact that the Trump-Russia collusion narrative was, in fact, approved by Hillary Clinton," Ratcliffe said.
According to Ratcliffe, some people in the FBI misled the American people for political reasons.
"The leadership at the FBI has played a prominent role in the American people losing faith in that organization," he declared.

Move for a change of on anything out of the DC area if you want a fair trial. Between the judges, courts, government officials, and jury pools; they have all been tainted.
When criminals aren’t locked up, when the laws are broken without any consequences, you’re really winning!
Trust Durham and trust the plan!
Ping
Doesn’t feel like winning.
That Sussman could be unanimously declared not guilty despite the receipts, the billing records, his own sworn statements and texts creates disbelief. The jury foreman all but said it was jury nullification. There’s just nothing Durham can do if he can’t get a conviction no matter the facts.
“The leadership at the FBI has played a prominent role in the American people losing faith in that organization,” he declared.
AND THEY DONT GIVE A RATS A## BECAUSE THEY ARE PROTECTED. WE NEED LEADERS WHO WILL PURGE THESE AGENCIES
Not many country club republicans have a pair to do that.
We need a fearless leader. I have no problem with mild republicans in congress (always much better than any democrat) but the president must be fearless and smart.
goal posts…. moving endlessly
And no reported outrage…. anywhere.
The Country is numb to the corruption — distracted by endless BS
Bull! We are not winning this!
The FBI….
What a worthless band of cowards.
NOT FUNNY! PATHETIC!! We aren’t winning ANYTHING! Our country is SODOM and GOMORRAH!
Sorry.....we need FEARLESS LEADERS IN CONGRESS ALSO!!! AND WE HAVE JUST A HANDFUL!
The FBI is TOTALLY CORRUPT!!!
The jury was hand-picked for an acquital.
If you lose battles, you lose the war.

2054: “Trust the plan. John Sessions Durham III is winning. He’ll have the Clintons’ great grandkinds in jail soon.”
Would think that if Durham was serious he would appeal the case based on the obviously biased jury the Judge seated.
Yep
