Michael Sussman’s trial is over, but the stink remains. Special Counsel John Durham did more than just expose Hillary Clinton’s dirty political moves. He exposed the incestuous aristocratic Washington world that enabled those moves to succeed. America, then meet the Beltway swamp.
Mr Sussman was acquitted of lying to the FBI on Tuesday, but not before the Durham team disclosed the work of the Clinton campaign in 2016, which used both the FBI and the media to smear Donald Trump was. The campaign relied on outside tech experts to falsely allege Trump’s ties to Russia’s Alfa Bank, which Mr Sussman fed to the FBI. Fusion GPS and Christopher Steele separately sent their infamous dossier to the Bureau. The Clinton team then did the media dirt purchase, using the fact of the FBI investigation as evidence it deserved coverage.
