Former Clinton attorney Michael Sussmann was acquitted on charges of lying to the FBI because the jury thought it was a waste of time, jurors indicated after giving the not guilty verdict."
I don't think it should have been prosecuted," she said, The Washington Times reported. "There are bigger things that affect the nation than a possible lie to the FBI."
Special Counsel John Durham charged Sussmann with lying to the FBI about his work with the Clinton campaign and a former tech firm executive when he provided the agency with information on the since-debunked Trump-Russia collusion narrative.
She explained, "It was the government’s job to prove it, and they succeeded in some ways and not in others... We broke it down, and it did not pan out in the government’s favor."
She stressed that the verdict was not a partisan decision.
"Politics were not a factor. ... We felt really comfortable being able to share what we thought. We had concise notes, and we were able to address the questions together," the forewoman said, according to The Washington Post.
The government "could have spent our time more wisely," she added.
Another juror told the Post that "everyone pretty much saw it the same way" in the jury room.

That's a firing offense, not a criminal one.
Likewise lying to the public is not a crime.
A careful study of the law reveals much dishonesty in court decisions.
The system is not honest, and should not be trusted. It is to be feared because it is powerful and vindictive.
Scooter Libby ...
Jury Nullification... pure and simple...
So the Einstein jurors weren’t concerned that Sussman was ‘lying’ just that it was to the FBI. Not that the FBI aren’t liars themselves but to their pea brain DemoRat minds it’s ok to lie and of no concern that Sussman wasn’t telling the truth. Lord I hate this modern culture of corruption we have to live in.
There were reports right here on this site about the jury the foreman and the judge before the start of the trial. Durham could not be that stupid could he? Looking back he was that stupid. He spent years building this case and they admitted that they did it. It never occurred to him that the jury would give him the middle finger? Not that this is a bad thing but what a Boy Scout.
Imagine that! A bunch of DC jurers all agreeing to the same lie! Amazing!!
Seditious behavior like this on the part of executive branch employees, when it continues on and on like this with no effective rebuke (meaning, with uttter impunity), destroys human society.
Durham is constitutionally incapable of indicting corrupt government actors, and this act of his, similar to the act of so many others, is getting really, really old.
tru dat
Obama put his mind using from day one. And the government became an extension of the Democratic Party. They had leanings and that direction but now it is become so large and so powerful that it determines the outcome of many events. But they can’t make the Ukraine win and they couldn’t pull out of Afghanistan. Their size has to be cut in half. Corporate America has downsizing so all the time but our government never.
“...put his mind using...”
Think I know what you were getting at but please clarify.
“We’re giving our crooked libtard buddies a pass” said the libtard juror 🤪
Good description, except did the Deep State (e.g., via their pliable judge) also steer this jury to this resolution? I don’t know, but I imagine it to be somewhere from possible to probable.
Translation: “He shouldn’t even have been charged. We do not believe it should be illegal to lie to the FBI if it helps Team Democrat.”
I wonder how she felt about the phony impeachments ?
"Politics were not a factor" - they appear to have been entirely a factor. I don't think it should have been prosecuted," she said, The Washington Times reported. "There are bigger things that affect the nation than a possible lie to the FBI." is entirely political reasoning.
This behavior lead to a multi-year investigation over a made up hoax that tore the nation apart and you don't think it should have been prosecuted? "there are bigger things that affect the nation than a possible lie to the FBI"? Embarrassing. Ridiculous.
Yup...translation: “Deliberations? We don’t need no deliberations.We don’t need no stinking deliberations!”
Every Rat Party hack who finds him/her/itself on trial in DC can count on the same verdict...for the same reason.
Would this bitch have felt the same way about the worthiness of the charge when it came to General Flynn who was charged with the SAME DAMN THING, and convicted after serving his country in the military for DECADES/ not!
Misunderstanding their role? No way! They knew their role from the moment they swore to serve faithfully. They did serve faithfully...Rat Party Headquarters!
