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.

a small lie that leads to a presidential coup... not an attempt, like the Jan 6th protest, but an actual coup.
No bias to see here.
Move along, peons.

This is not justice, it’s an abomination and a jury nullification. Durham should have known this, or he was participating in this charade.

I’ll bet.
Ignorant pig.
Yup.
That jury saw the deep state protection racket up close and personal for too long to play nice anymore. This was a middle finger to corrupt “Feds Inc.”.
You can't. The rule of law is truly dead at this point. We live in a tyranny of the leftist mob.
Even the jury given the swamp talking points...
Committed a crime...Yes...but at this point what does it matter...Acquit...!
We’ve seen this movie before...
Well, I guess that pretty explains what's going on in the, so called, Department Of Justice.. No matter the law, the verdict must be politically slanted to please the left..
The bad guys (Crooks, thieves, liars and DC lawyers) are running the show...
Trial venues need to be moved out of the District of Columbia as much as Constitutionally permitted. DC juries are infected with bias against Republican defendants and prosecutions.
The Jury Forwoman sound just like Hillary. Wonder if she looks like Hillary.
“There’s only one way to fix this problem. It’s stated in the Declaration of Independence.”
Let’s hope the next election starts us toward a fix.
I think I agree with you, despite believing deep down inside that the defendant was a dirt-eating viper.
How are were supposed to have any confidence in our judicial system with travesties like this.
You are not, this is a step in moving the country into complete chaos which is the goal of all loyal commies.
“Trial venues need to be moved out of the District of Columbia as much as Constitutionally permitted.”
That’s only going to happen if politicians and bureaucrats stop committing their crimes primarily in Washington DC.
The outcome is no surprise at all.
Bias was certainly a huge part of it, but so is idiocy. I have been on juries where I hear people speak as she did that "the prosecution did not prove its case". They practically expect a video showing the crime or "it wasn't proven". Beyond a reasonable doubt has become beyond the shadow of a doubt for these idiots. Also, some people on juries (often women) just don't feel comfortable judging anyone.
I knew when he showed billing info that he had done other work that day, they wouldn’t have solid evidence regarding FBI visit.
