Fox News Immediately Blames Jury for Finding Clinton Campaign Lawyer Not Guilty

Moments after Special Counsel John Durham was handed a major setback on Tuesday when a federal jury found Clinton-linked lawyer Michael Sussmann not guilty, multiple Fox News personalities accused the D.C.-based jurors of not giving prosecutors a “fair shake” due to political bias.


Right-wing media and Trump allies had hoped that the Sussmann case would be the centerpiece of Durham’s investigation into Robert Mueller’s probe of Russia’s interference in the 2016 presidential election. (And pushed misleading claims about Durham’s investigation in the process.) Throughout the two-week trial, prosecutors argued that Sussmann had “a license to lie” in a last-minute effort by the Clinton campaign to tip the election with false claims about Trump-Russia collusion.

The jury, however, rejected the prosecution’s argument and apparently accepted the defense’s claims that Durham was basically trying to turn one brief meeting into a “giant political conspiracy theory.” Needless to say, Fox News was not pleased with the verdict and went right into spin mode.
