The acquittal of lawyer Michael Sussmann, on a charge that he lied to the FBI about whether he was representing a client or acting on his own when he passed on information concerning a possible Trump-Russia connection, brings a fitting end to a legal travesty.
Special counsel John Durham, appointed by the Trump administration to find evidence of a deep state conspiracy, dreamed up and promoted by Fox News anchors, has sullied his reputation by bringing the flimsiest of charges while using the case as a springboard to make broader, baseless allegations about the non-existent conspiracy calculated to please Mr. Trump and his following.
It took the jury just six hours to render a not guilty verdict and, thus, deliver a deserved rebuke to a politically driven prosecution.
