Judge spares Clinton camp in Sussmann ruling
| quote | A federal judge has turned down a request from Special Counsel John Durham for a ruling that a lawyer facing trial on a false statement charge was part of a wide-ranging “joint venture” involving Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign, Democratic operatives, private investigation firm Fusion GPS and various technology researchers.
The decision issued Saturday afternoon by U.S. District Court Judge Christopher Cooper limits evidence and testimony prosecutors can offer against attorney Michael Sussmann at a jury trial set to get underway later this month.
The ruling spares the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee the potential embarrassment of a federal judge finding they were part of a coordinated effort to level since-discredited allegations that candidate Donald Trump or his allies maintained a data link from Trump Tower to Russia’s Alfa Bank. The Clinton campaign disseminated that claim amid a broader effort to call out Trump’s ties to Russia at a time when U.S. intelligence agencies had revealed efforts by the Russian government to interfere in the 2016 election. |

Is anyone surprised?
U.S. District Court Judge Christopher Cooper is an Obama appointee.

| quote | | The jury was seated on Monday, and includes one federal government employee who told the judge they donated to Democrats in 2016 and another government employee who told the judge they "strongly" dislike former President Trump—both of those jurors told the judge they could be impartial throughout the trial. |

Nothing to see here, folks. Just business as usual.

This thread is worth reviewing, if only to take note of the point in time when everything came to a grinding halt.
Also, it should probably be moved to P&R.

There aren't enough political threads in Politics & Religion to humor you? You felt there was a dire need to resurrect this more than two year old O/T political thread?
As much as it's nice to see a post from rinselberg again, let the poor guy rest in peace.

This story is not over. This thread should be moved to P&R, so we can talk freely.

Cheatle is set to appear this coming Monday, the 22nd. Each agency is making excuses and pointing fingers at everyone else.

Cheatle's testimony was worse than I could have imagined.
