News Analysis: With two acquittals, DC-area juries refuse to referee whether informants or FBI were more to blame for Russia collusion ruse. Is a Church Committee-like probe next?
Special Counsel John Durham made a calculated decision to transform his only criminal trials — of Clinton lawyer Michael Sussmann and Steele dossier source Igor Danchenko — into forums for telling the story of the FBI's pursuit of the unsubstantiated Russia collusion narrative.
From pretrial motions and brutal cross-examinations of FBI witnesses to his parting words at the Danchenko trial, Durham telegraphed his disdain for the FBI's behavior to jurors in the courts of both law and public opinion.
The jury might very well conclude the FBI mishandled the Russia case, the veteran prosecutor declared Monday in his closing argument. "The government is not here to defend the FBI's performance in these matters," he added. Such comments gave license to jurors to acquit, as they did in the end.
Before it was over, Durham dropped bombshell after bombshell, with most landing on the FBI rather than the defendants:
Hillary Clinton personally approved sharing the Russia collusion narrative against Trump in fall 2016 even though her campaign wasn't sure it was true, former campaign manager Robby Mook testified.
The FBI offered Christopher Steele a whopping $1 million if he could prove the sensational allegations in his dossier, but he didn't, FBI witnesses testified.
The FBI included allegations from the Steele dossier in its FISA application to spy on the Trump campaign even though it hadn't verified a single element of the dossier, an FBI analyst testified.

You should post that as a thread.
Great info
The moral of the trials is two fold:
1) Durham was always there to whitewash and cover up the crimes of the FIB/Deep State
2) the DC Swamp cannot be entrusted to sit in judgment over the DC Swamp. ie the jurisdiction - both judges and juries - is so corrupt and so biased it is impossible to obtain a fair trial there and it needs to be dissolved as its own federal district and its power to govern itself which Congress granted in the early 1970s needs to be stripped away from it. - and yes, Congress can do both.
Secession. The only play left short of war.

I would never convict anyone of lying to the FBI no matter how strong the evidence in the case is. Lying to the FBI shouldn’t even be a crime anymore.
I can’t say I have a problem with this verdict.

Can’t say I’m surprised you condone lying.
Your moral compass, like progs, spins so fast it produces its own gravity.
FR seems to be filled with people who would have ratted out Anne Frank to the Nazis.
So when is Durham going to prosecute the FBI? Exposing it great! What about Hillary,this crap about her saying she was not sure it was true is BS,she to this day says Trump was a Russian agent,the bitch should be prosecuted

Capt the guy you defend for lying wasn’t trying to save a life

Just because I don’t believe something should be considered a crime doesn’t mean I condone it.
Parking in the lot next to my building without a permit is illegal. Am I condoning it if I refuse to accept the idiotic idea that a violator should be imprisoned for it?
