(CNN)A federal judge declined Wednesday to dismiss special counsel John Durham's case against a Hillary Clinton campaign lawyer accused of lying to the FBI during its investigation of potential Trump-Russia collusion. US District Judge Christopher Cooper rejected a request from Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann, who argued that the case should be thrown out because his alleged lie wasn't material to the FBI's Russia probe. Sussmann is accused of falsely telling a top FBI official, during a September 2016 meeting about then-candidate Donald Trump's potential ties to Russia, that he was not providing the information on behalf of any client. Sussmann has pleaded not guilty and has accused Durham of bringing a politically motivated case.
The ruling is a major victory for Durham and means that the case can proceed to trial next month. Durham was appointed under the Trump administration to investigate the origins of the Russia probe.

Just for once, I would love to see a major victory for the American People and our Constitution.
Ok, so if I remember right, the feds win about 98% of their trials. Wonder what the odds are on this one? Or, if the feds win, how light will the punishment be?
Yeah, I’m more than a little jaded by the Washington kabuki theater.
Might be a long wait. Everyone in DC works for the Deep State.
Bottom line: DC doesn’t punish DC.
DC = District of Corruption
Sucks to be Suss.
“Origins of the Russia probe” neatly sidesteps that it was the Russia collusion hoax.
98% of Clinton prosecutors commit suicide.
Yes, it’s slanted...
Sussmans life expectancy just cratered...
Not this time.
This is the Obama faction telling the Clinton faction to back off and go away quietly. If they do, then Durham will stop after a conviction against Sussmann. If they don't, then Durham will continue prosecutions against others.
A politically motivated case? You bet. Is the defendant guilty? Almost certainly, but what does that matter? "The process is the punishment". This case is about inflicting punishment on opponents.
The faction that put Obama in office is the same group that maintains Biden in office. They are firmly in control of the bureaucracy and the executive administration for now. The Clintons are fading history and will not make a comeback.
Trust this: I ain’t holding my breath on that.
