I worry that this guy will be slapped on the wrist. Lying to the FBI? It’s really only a big deal if the court wants it to be a big deal. Will the jury convict? Will the judge hand down a severe sentence? Will Durham have an Act II or is this the end of the road? I think everybody may just want this all to go away.
No sense in worrying over it. The swamp takes care of its own. Clinesmith plead guilty to the same offense (also a Durham SC case), got 12 months probation and 400 hours of community service. Keeps his law license.
Sussman won't get anything more than that, at most. More likely hung jury and Durham decides to drop it.
News will report that as exonerating the FBI and Clinton camp of any wrongdoing.
