Republican lawmakers decried Tuesday’s acquittal of former Hillary Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann by a federal jury Tuesday, with one GOP senator calling it “proof there are separate systems of justice in America.” Sussmann was found not guilty of a single count of lying to the FBI when he passed the bureau now-discredited information in 2016 linking then-candidate Donald Trump and Russia. The jury in the two-week trial was drawn from heavily Democratic Washington, DC, and the judge in the case was appointed to the federal bench by President Barack Obama.
