There have been some great discussions here about this trial.
The reality is neither verdict would have exonerated HRC. Sussman was charged with lying to the FBI that he was not representing his clients. He was not charged with lying about the content of the disinformation he passed along.
Basically between the prosecution and defense there was no challenge to the fact there was a conspiracy. Sussman’s defense was essentially that he didn’t commit a crime because the FBI knew he was lying.

Realistically, it was the FBI that was on trial. Sussman’s acquittal does imply the fact the FBI was complicit in the conspiracy is believable.
