Sussmann Juror: "There Are Bigger Things... Than A Possible Lie To The FBI"

The acquittal of Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann has been the subject of furious debate among politicians and pundits. Some have argued that the case collapsed from lack of evidence while others have alleged that prosecutors faced as biased judge and jury. For his part, Sussmann claimed that the jury found that "I told the truth."  The truth is more complex and few would assume that the verdict was based on Sussmann's veracity. However, a statement from a juror immediately after the verdict fueled speculation of the impact of juror bias.

According to the Washington Times' Jeff Mordock, the juror reportedly said:

"I don't think it should have been prosecuted. There are bigger things that affect the nation than a possible lie to the FBI."

If that statement had been made during voir dire, it is likely that the juror would have been challenged.
