Few were surprised when the jury in the Michael Sussmann trial returned a verdict of not guilty on Tuesday morning.
The former Perkins Coie lawyer, who had worked for Democrat Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign, was charged with lying to the FBI about whom he represented when he provided information to the bureau’s general counsel, James Baker, alleging the Trump Organization had covert ties to the Kremlin-linked Alfa Bank during a September 2016 meeting.
George Washington University Law School professor Jonathan Turley spoke to Fox News contributor Jason Chaffetz about the composition of the Sussmann jury on May 23.
The interview took place several days after former Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook delivered his bombshell testimony that Clinton had green-lit the plan to report this bogus information to the media.
Turley told Chaffetz that three jurors were Clinton donors and a fourth was a donor to Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York.
Major swamp
Jury was filled with Clinton supporters. Is that justice?
What more could you have expected the outcome to be?
