[QUOTE="Box Ox, post: 5266793, member: 48469"] I dunno. Sounds like the prosecution's goal is gonna be to make an example of him. The trial is in DC though. So a jury might indeed be reluctant to convict one of Hillary's guys. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.politico.com/news/2022/05/17/prosecutor-lawyer-fbi-clinton-2016-campaign-00032994[/URL] "Assistant Special Counsel Deborah Shaw told jurors that Sussmann took advantage of his relationships with the FBI and its then-general counsel James Baker to plant data about a potential Trump tie to Russia while hiding the fact that Sussmann was acting on behalf of the Clinton campaign. “This is a case about privilege ... the privilege of a lawyer who thought that for the powerful the normal rules didn’t apply, that he could use the FBI as a political tool,” Shaw said in her opening statement in U.S. District Court. “The defendant lied to direct the power and resources of the FBI to his own ends and to serve the agendas of his clients.” Shaw said Sussmann and the Clinton campaign hoped that the FBI would jump on Sussmann’s report and launch an investigation that would embarrass Trump as voters prepared to go to the polls. “It was a plan to create an October Surprise on the eve of the presidential election — a plan that used and manipulated the FBI ……a plan that largely succeeded,” Shaw declared."
