Sussmann is going to take his chances with a favorable DC jury. Hard for me to get too excited about that.

Judge allows Hillary, AOC donors in jury pool for ex-Clinton-lawyer’s Russia trial

As many as three Hillary Clinton donors — including one who also supported US Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez — are among the prospective jurors for former Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann’s trial.
Special counsel John Durham’s team objected to putting one Clinton contributor on the panel after the man said he would “strive for impartiality as best I can.”
But the prosecution was overruled by Washington, DC, federal Judge Christopher Cooper, who said the man — who works in public policy for Amazon and appeared to be in his 40s — “expressed a high degree of confidence” that he could be impartial.
Cooper, nominated by former President Barack Obama, also said Durham’s prosecutors could use one of its peremptory challenges to strike him from the panel for the trial, the first to result from his three-year probe into the government’s investigations of purported ties between former President
Remember that Sussmann’s trial was originally scheduled for November? Then he asked for it to be moved earlier, to August. Then moved up to May, now. There are few reasons to do this since most dirtbagz stall for as much time as possible. His reason has to have two parts: one is to limit Durham’s investigation time and cut exposure to Perkins-Gooey. The other is that he knows he’s getting nailed and is playing for a Biden pardon——while SloJoe is still cognizant and someplace near the WH.
But I’d buy a ticket to hear him testify——He’s a bigger fool than is apparent , if he does. Also remember he has to do a Webb Hubbell to protect Hiliary. Just my two pennies.
