Then how is mooks case not beyond statute of limitations?
statute of limitations
Giving false information to the press is not a crime. The press not doing it job not vetting information is not a crime, it now standard practice. A lie to the fbi can be a crime, a lie from a politically connected lawyer is to the fbi may be a crime. The bigger crime, the not so hidden conspiracy, is on the 7th floor of the FBI, the using leadership powers to go after one parties candidate is at the wink and nod of fbi leadership.
The meeting between Sussmann and the FBI when the lie allegedly occurred took place on September 19, 2016.
Durham indicted Sussmann on September 16, 2021, just shy of five years later. The indictment was timed to beat the statute of limitations. The clock stopped once the charges were filed.
