Live Q&A: Sussmann Found ‘Not Guilty’ in Trial with Conflicts of Interests; Fmr FBI Agent Explains

Watch the full live Q&A here: https://ept.ms/SussmannVerdictYT

Hillary Clinton lawyer Michael Sussmann was acquitted by a jury on May 31. He was charged with lying to the FBI when claiming he didn’t work for any specific client, as he was working for the Hillary Clinton campaign and was spreading false information of a covert communications channel between the Trump Organization and Russia's Alfa Bank.

The decision, however, has shown a spotlight on conflicts of interest both with the judge and the jury in the trial. The judge had close personal ties to the case, and members of the jury included three people who donated to Clinton, and a woman whose daughter is on the same sports team as Sussmann’s daughter.

We also invite former FBI agent Marc Ruskin to comment on the case and decision. Ruskin is a former undercover agent, and is the author of “The Pretender: My Life Undercover for the FBI.”

In this live Q&A with Crossroads host Joshua Philipp we’ll discuss these stories and others, and answer questions from the audience.
