Anyone who didn't consider the swamp actively covering for one of their own was being naive, or was grossly misinformed.

There's still a lot that doesn't add up - from a 27 page indictment laying out the whole enterprise for a minor charge that didn't even end up sticking; to Durham's first L in court in his career; to a dozen other oddities that makes your Spideysense tingle.

This lying to authorities charge won't be the only one with Sussmann's name on it. I expect before it's all done, there's going to be one sweeping indictment with the whole cast of characters named.
