No way Durham can get a convection with a DC jury and I think he didn’t expect it to go to trial assuming a plea deal instead
This is rather a minor case in the bigger picture and is a narrow charge of lying to the FBI rather then a conspiracy

Brittain Shaw delivers prosecution’s opening statement. The government’s goal is to prove #Sussmann lied to FBI General Counsel Jim Baker when he provided documents as a “concerned citizen” when he was representing the #Clinton campaign and “internet executive” Roland Joffe
Sussman was a major player in all this, even if most folks didn’t know his name. Those that followed the issue closely knew who he was long before the indictments. He was a nexus for a lot of stuff.
