As I predicted on last Saturday’s episode of The Other Podcast, the DC jury allowed Michael Sussmann to walk.
<sarc>I’m sure that the jury being chock full of Hillary and AOC donors and having a member whose daughter plays on a sport team with Sussmann’s daughter had no impact on the verdict.</sarc>
Special Counsel John Durham has released an email which tends to confirm that Michael Sussmann was lying when he told James Baker of the FBI he was not representing a client. The mail reads
Jim – it’s Michael Sussmann. I have something time-sensitive (and sensitive) I need to discuss, Do you have availibilty [sic] for a short meeting tomorrow? I’m coming on my own – not on behalf of a client or company – want to help the Bureau. Thanks.
If he didn’t lie when speaking to Baker, he lied in the email.
UPDATE—The message was a text rather than an email.
Hmmmmm.
UPDATE—”[H]e was acting on behalf of specific clients, namely, Tech Executive-1 and the Clinton Campaign.”
Tech-Executive-1?
