Jury selection in #Clinton attorney Michael #Sussmann's trial for making a false statement to the FBI will continue into the afternoon in Judge Christopher Cooper's U.S. District Courtroom in Washington, D.C.

Sussmann's legal team, led by Sean Berkowitz, objected to an accountant whose firm did former FBI General Counsel Jim Baker being on the jury.

Lunch break at the courthouse for Durham’s case against Sussmann. Jury selection process still ongoing but we should have a jury seated by end of the day. Technical difficulties in media room have meant no video/audio there, so I’ve just been note-taking in the courtroom itself.

We saw this in the Roger Stone case - democrat activist lied to get on the jury.

Me and @Cernovich saved her social media before she deleted; our research ended up before the court.

The judge was shown her lies - and didn't care. DC justice. 🤷‍♂️ pic.twitter.com/PKrhIg6m10

“Potential jurors were questioned about their donations to 2016 presidential campaigns and if they would be able to set aside their views of both political parties' candidates and judge the case fairly.”

Court in recess for 20 minutes before beginning the final selection of 12 jurors from a pool of 38 garnered from today's proceedings. There are so many potential jurors, the court will need to be cleared of the audience to seat them all.

The 38 juror candidates will be whittled to 16 with 12 to sit for the trial and four alternates. Likely to be "struck" by prosecutors is a Sierra Club employee who expressed strong antipathy to former President Donald Trump and the FBI because it "dismantled the Black Panthers."

Cases against DC swamp dwellers should always be moved to another venue. There is zero chance of finding an unbiased, un-affiliated jury pool. Everyone there is incestuous and invested in the survival of the swamp establishment.

Including the judges.

NEW: Jury picked for Sussmann trial (a few openly pro-Dem folks including one who couldn't be unbiased if case was about Trump team member instead). Also, Elias expected to testify tomorrow & Durham made rare public appearance so we finally have new photo.https://t.co/WIo0V3x3ZV

We are soon to find out that Marc Elias went into CYA mode and rolled over on his partner Sussmann and testified before the GJ previously and is going to be the slam dunk on Sussmann. He's going to be granted trial immunity to keep him from pleading the fifth.

Stay tuned

Oh Lord...please be right!

As many as three Hillary Clinton donors including one who also supported US Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez are among the prospective jurors for former Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann's trial.

Special counsel John Durham's team objected to putting one Clinton contributor on the panel after the man said he would "strive for impartiality as best I can."

But the prosecution was overruled by Washington, DC, federal Judge Christopher Cooper, who said the man who works in public policy for Amazon and appeared to be in his 40s "expressed a high degree of confidence" that he could be impartial.

Cooper, nominated by former President Barack Obama, also said Durham's prosecutors could use one of its peremptory challenges to strike him from the panel for the trial, the first to result from his three-year probe into the government's investigations of purported ties between former President Donald Trump and Russia.

Judges can only remove people from a jury pool if questioning reveals they're not suited for service, including being biased in favor of one side or the other.

Durham sat behind his team in the courtroom's well, taking notes during the jury selection process.

In 2016, DC voters favored Clinton over Trump, 90.9% to 4.1%, and Democrats in the nation's capital now outnumber Republicans, 76.5% to 5.4%, according to an April 30 tally posted online by the local Board of Elections.

Don't underestimate the loathing hatred even some democrats have for HRC.

Many yellow dogs still blame HRC for Trump winning because she was such a terrible candidate

Well, Jerry has been selected, and the trial starts today. Let's see how good Durham is.

Where are you getting this information? I see where he will be called as a witness, but this would be quite surprising. As Elias is probably a bigger fish than Sussmann, what would be the reasoning for offering him a deal on this? Go after even bigger fish? This is going to be great if true. That being said, it's D.C. and it involves the Clintons, so.....

Let's try putting on the common sense hat for a minute.

Durham laid the foundation that he will have the ability and will likely be granting "trial immunity" to certain witnesses.

What good would it do to go to all the trouble of putting Elias on his witness list for him to take the stand a plea the 5th?

We know there were over thirty witnesses that testified before the GJ according to Kash Patel.

Perkins Coie jettisoned Elias ASAP when Durham's probe started across their threshold to distance themselves from his toxicity.

Elias is now a drifting barge of toxic waste no one wants to claim and could be facing his own demise from multiple angles. Elias like Flynn knows where all the bodies are buried. IMHO he's about to become Sammy the Bull,

Question is what does he fear worse, life in striped sunshine or Arkancide or both.

Prosecutors like Durham don't waste witnesses of their right to remain silent on the stand. He's not likely to waste time with a hostile witness either.

You can chose to speculate differently but I'm sticking to my statement. If I'm wrong okay, but I'm guessing if I'm not dead on I'm pretty close.

Elias completes the conspiracy circle, he's the tie in to all the major players. Without him it's just a 1001 conviction with no jail time for Sussmann. There's a lot more at play here than that.

Stay tuned

MEET THE JURY THREAD: United States v. Michael A. Sussman #Durham

I really don't know how to read this guys tweets as they are all discombobulataed. But he is live tweeting the case. No thread or anything, just have to go by times.

Deliberations begin Tuesday morning at the E. Barnett Prettyman U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., in Michael #Sussmann's trial for allegedly lying to the FBI about the #Trump Organization's purported ties to a Russian Bank.

Here is a live tweet thread. No idea who the person is.

Shaw said Sussmann was intending to "create an October surprise on the eve of the presidential election - a plan that used and manipulated the FBI."

Not that it goes to the lie, but...

Hellman says they thought it was "conveniently coincidental" that the supposed secret coms had started three weeks before the inquiry described in the white paper. And they thought Russia had more sophisticated means to communicate secretly if it wanted. /29
