Former White House national security official Kash Patel said Thursday that the only tactic the defense had left in the Michael Sussmann trial was “jury nullification,” in which they would urge the jury to look past the evidence presented.
Patel spoke to Breitbart News editor-in-chief Alex Marlow on Breitbart News Daily on SiriusXM Patriot 125, one day after the prosecution rested its case. The final piece of evidence was the interview that Patel himself had conducted with Sussmann four years ago, when he was helping then-Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) run an investigation into “Russia collusion” on the House Intelligence Committee. Sussmann had told the committee that he was working for a client when he went to the FBI claiming that computer evidence showed then-candidate Donald Trump was tied to the Russian government via Alfa Bank.

i guess that could work, but all the leftists judges i know frown on that kind of stuff.
It’s almost guaranteed.
Trump is Hitler, you know. Sussman wanted to get rid of Hitler. Sussman is a hero for lying to the FBI. A Washington DC jury will likely see it that way.
Why Sussman worried it’s a DC jury and the judge is a Dem.
I would say they have more than that. Like maybe the judge is in the defense’s pocket:

If it was actually Hillary on trial, I might believe that a jury might just let her go because of who she is, but this was her lawyer. Few people like lawyers. (Unless they need to hire one, and then, of course, they love that one!)
Unfortunately, I have to agree, but we shall see.
Probably the best they can hope for is a hung jury and to continue to run out the clock for all the other characters under statute of limitations. Gotta remember that this is a conspiracy.
LOL! good one...
If he is found guilty and goes to jail, he’s going to have to be put on the suicide watch list. Seems to happen to people connected to the Clintons.
Ani truth to the rumor that he judge’s other “did” Comey and Biden?
The only surprise will be if this DC jury convicts.
First, there was Russian collusion, with Trump being called a Russian stooge.
Then, a new and more sinister collusion...
where democrats planted a few democrat jurors in the Sussmann trial and the judge allowed it...
which is a collusion to find that Sussmann didn’t really do anything wrong, and with that, Hillary and the Russia-Russia-Russia investigation can’t more forward, and Hillary and the democrats who attempted to invalidate the Trump presidency go scot free.
Its libtard DC. It could happen.
“Despite the presence of three Hillary Clinton donors on the jury, Patel said, he was confident that the prosecution had a good chance of convicting Sussmann...”
Famous last words.
They need to arrest someone.
Or, at least tell him not to do it again. Maybe pay a fine and if he gets jail time ..he’ll be out in six month.
Write a book..do the talk show circuit..and make lots of money.
They never rightfully go after a hillary or any high level dim.
Agreed. This isn’t a trial, it’s a cover-up. No one above Sussman is going to get investigated, let alone charged.
It depends on the outcome. If the judge wants the case thrown, but can't find a good enough reason to do it judicially, then let the jury do the dirty work.
Black juries will nullify Democrat crimes 100% of the time. That is why D.C.-based Federal courts should not exist.
