The Sussman single, low level charge was and is an interesting opening gambit. Yes, we will have to endure fake news on how this blows the Durham investigation up. But they will never admit this trial was used to introduce the reality of the conspiracy into an official record. And, the distinct possibility this charge and trial was more about that, than wanting/needing a conviction.
Had he been convicted the FBI would be having a party. It would have given them plausible deniability. The conspiracy would be resting squarely on Hillary’s and the DNC’s shoulders. His acquittal implies the opposite, they knew who he represented and chose to engage in the conspiracy.
Interestingly, even if Sussman did not lie to the FBI, he still participated in a conspiracy to influence the 2016 Presidential election. Will he be charged with that in the future? Or, has he possibly already cut a deal on the more serious charges?
Thanks to u/MeanOMan for opening my mind to this perspective!
As always, only time will tell.
You are totally right, it does not change that fact. Even when a guilty verdict would have benefited a branch of the DS, the judicial system is so tainted it could not convict a deep stater.
So Durham has skillfully shown their was a conspiracy. But does it accomplish anything if he can’t get a fair trial in a DC court? Surely he knows that, but does he have a strategy to deal with it remains to be seen.
Amen to that!
