First Durham Trial: Former Clinton Campaign Lawyer Sussmann's Case Starts

A lawyer who worked on Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign faces a criminal trial this week on charges of lying to the FBI in a crucial test for a special prosecutor appointed during President Donald Trump's administration.

A federal judge in the District of Columbia will seat a jury on Monday in the politically charged case of attorney Michael Sussmann, who is accused of misleading the FBI about who he represented when he approached the bureau with since-discredited information tying Trump to a Russian bank.

Opening arguments are expected on Tuesday, with Sussmann's lawyers planning to argue their client is innocent and that the allegations against him are far removed from the sort of grave FBI misconduct Republicans hoped U.S. Special Counsel John Durham would reveal.

Well, I am sure you will never get the term limits, because of corruption, unless someone like trump gets in and some how drafts and EO regarding it.  First I think they all should no longer be in Washington.  Make them work from their home state.  We all know that their jobs can be done remote.  This can force the lobbying groups to spend some money going to them rather than just leaving all the money in Washington.

Yeah term limits will be tough to pull off if they have to vote themselves out of a job

Not really sure, but i think some kind of spending caps need to be put in place. I do thinkTerm limits is the main thing that would help the corruption. Nobody should be in dc for 20+ years

And I’ve said the same for 30+ years.  Until the public stops getting distracted with bullshit and demands true campaign finance reform nothing much will change  imo.

You calling anyone a step and fetch it toady is the height of irony.  Vox is left leaning garbage.  You might note the key words, as they apply to both parties,  “court sides with”, as in he made his arguments.  You not so much.

No.  I didnt say I applaud it.  That would be you assigning positions and piss poor reading  comprehension. Instead of arguing the case and why you think it was wrong, you just posted up a hack article from a leftist website because it criticized a republican, when this law applies to both parties. Such a step and fetch it toady you are.

We are mere peasants

Sussman will lose the real question is what Durham has in mind afterwards. Many have said he should have gone for a conspiracy charge and others say fry Sussman and then use that to widen the case. Either way after this it should be clear of who was responsible for the circus that was the impeachment of Trump.
