The acquittal of Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann has been the subject of furious debate among politicians and pundits.

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.

The juror statement is not something that is likely to be raised with the court.
