Yesterday, after less than one full day of deliberations, a D.C. jury stacked with pro-Hillary Clinton jurors acquitted former Clinton campaign attorney Michael Sussmann, proving the FBI is not "Ours" but the swamp's.
After hearing overwhelming evidence that Sussmann lied when he told the then-FBI General Counsel James Baker he was providing data and whitepapers about a supposed secret communications channel between Trump and the Russian-based Alfa Bank on his own behalf, when in fact Sussmann was representing both the Clinton campaign and tech executive Rodney Joffe, the 12 D.C. residents found Sussmann not guilty.
The former FBI general counsel testified he was "100 percent confident" Sussmann said during their September 19, 2016 meeting that he was not representing a client.
Baker blamed himself for throwing Sussmann "Into a maelstrom" and expressed outrage at how the congressmen investigating the investigation into Trump and his campaign behaved when they questioned Baker about his meeting with Sussmann.
In preparing for the Sussmann trial, the special counsel's office met with the OIG in October 2021 "To discuss discoverable materials that may be in the OIG's possession."
Even though the OIG possessed two of Baker's FBI cellphones, prosecutors were not told of the phones' existence by the OIG. Rather, the special counsel only learned of the two cellphones on January 6, 2022, when another FBI employee mentioned them.
The special counsel's prosecution of Sussmann offered an opportunity for the country to see at least a small acknowledgment that the politicization of the FBI would not be tolerated.
