#26  Yawn. If people are truly surprised by this verdict, then naivete is a problem.

Bring on the next miscarriage of justice. Justice truly is blind.

#20  Contrarian view:

Assume "Jury Nullification" was in play as the evidence was pretty damning. Now think how willing you'd be to convict someone of lying to the KGB , excuse me, the FBI.

#16  The American government just stole you the 2020 elections,
The American government today just shows to his citizens how from now on justice will work.
Your 2022 midterm will be manipulated
Trump will be arrested
Guns will be confiscated
Digital passport will be mandatory
But you still can post in your favorite conservative sites like this one.
See….you still have your American exceptionalism style freedom…
Moving back to Mexico soon…..

Former Attorney General Bill Barr believes John Durham has uncovered 'seditious' actions against Trump in his Russia probe as jury resumes deliberations in trial of Clinton lawyer accused of lying to the FBI

#10  I saw a comment on another site that said "Juror #4 was the guy who shot Seth Rich in the back"

#9  He literally had the billing receipt to Clinton for the time spend with the FBI where he stated he was acting on his own. Jury nullification of material fact for political advantage. We are now in a place where fact is less important than political allegiance for fellow citizens duty bound to judge impartially. Tragic clue to the future end of public trust in government.

#7  Shocking! Absolutely shocking. What will become of the legions of Durham lawyers? All who could not have seen this coming could easily fit into a London call box.

What happens inside the Beltway stays inside the Beltway.

If I were the Orange Man I'd write it all off and take up permanent residence at the links in Balmedie, Aberdeenshire.

He and many others did their very best, but sadly, the Republic appears to be lost.

#6  And now that jeopardy has attached he can never be charged again.

Have you seen how DA load charges upon charges in cases. Today simply lying to the FBI probably no longer violates one law but collaterally several.
