When hearing about Sussman, just remember...

Sun Tsu's Art of War
Step 1 - Engage target in a battle that doesnt matter
Step 2 - Loose battle but only just.
Step 3 - Enemy believes they are winning (We are here)
Step 4 - Begin Endgame of the real battle and win
Sussmann getting off this hook only puts others on the hook. His acquittal, in effect does point the finger at someone else. The fact remains- fraudulent evidence was received and used by the FBI.
If Sussmann was not working for Hillary, or anyone at all, as he claims, then it has to mean that someone else has to come up with a reason for why the fake evidence was created, and either accept sole responsibility for creating it, or point the finger at someone else who "made them do it."
Respectfully, I disagree fren. No one else has to come up with a reason for anything - the burden rests solely on the Government to prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt, no one has to prove their evidence.
And, legally speaking, the trial didn’t prove that the FBI received fraudulent evidence. All it proved is that there is a reasonable doubt that Sussman criminally lied to the FBI.
The trial proves the FBI was in possession of fabricated evidence, and used it. It had to come from somewhere. That means Durham will have to ask someone else, under oath.
Why do you think he has to ask anyone else about it? None of the testimony adduced by Durham was remotely new or surprising to him, so he’s had all this time to act on it. And this is the end result - an acquittal of a small fish.
Because the primary question surrounding the Alfa Bank data has not been officially answered. Who is ultimately responsible for pushing false evidence to the FBI?
Problem is, knowing it, and having it on record as an undisputed fact is two different things.
If this is a movie, the point of reveal of facts is absolutely important.
Also, per your original reply to u/Mister_Winston, yes it can absolutely be brought up again elsewhere. Our system uses case law all the time during trials. Referring to previous evidence and case results is a core part of our legal system. It was designed that way originally so verdicts would be consistent with previous rulings, unlike what was happening in english courts at the time, and now apparently. Case law keeps paralegals employed across the country.
A lot of interesting tidbits and tendies were revealed (confirmed publicly?) During the trial.
