The political ping pong match surrounding the “RussiaGate” ruse is once again ramping up in recent weeks, as John Durham’s investigation into the liberal conspiracy theory continues to gain steam.
Durham, whose probe appears on paper to be the antithesis of the widely-criticized Mueller investigation, recently hauled one of Hillary Clinton’s lawyers to court, but it looks as though he couldn’t quite set the hook.
The jury on Tuesday found Michael Sussmann not guilty of making a false statement to the FBI in September 2016 when he said he was not working on behalf of any client, when he brought information alleging a covert communications channel between the Trump Organization and Russia’s Alfa Bank.
After a two week trial, and more than a day of deliberations, the jury found that Special Counsel John Durham’s team had not proven beyond a reasonable doubt that Sussmann’s statement was a lie, and that he was, in fact, working on behalf of Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign and technology executive Rodney Joffe when he brought two thumb drives and a white paper alleging a Trump-Russia connection.
Durham is investigating whether or not Hillary Clinton or her surrogates acted improperly in the run-up to the 2016 election, in which they appeared hellbent on somehow proving that Donald Trump was some sort of Putin puppet.
