When hearing about Sussman, just remember...

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
This is logical, this will settle some nerves and put them off guard. Only time will tell if we've been played or not. I'm prepared, it's just super demoralizing.
It's logical, but not for the purpose of giving the DS a false sense of security. It's logical because the purpose was for Durham to legally introduce evidence into record that can be used for other indictments. It also shows the world that DC is too corrupt to hold uncorrupted trials.
Remember, RICO laws were first used against the mob, who also bribed judges and jurors. Durham has experience with convicting mobsters. He would have expected this outcome.
I’m not sure how the “now they can use the evidence elsewhere trope” started. The fact that evidence was admitted at one trial doesn’t mean it would be admitted at another - that’s not how the rules of evidence work. There’s also no reason why you wouldn’t just introduce the evidence you wanted in the trial you wanted - there is no rule that it has to have been previously admitted in another proceeding.
The mob was brought down by turning the members against one another - hard to do with an acquittal as he’s lost all leverage over Sussman.
Mook turned on Clinton, and that was pretty unexpected
