that was because jim baker said very clearly that michael sussman 10 and in person that he was not there for any planes, and that' really all they need to prove, there's only one count here. the jury is out washington jury. we are not going to know what i going to happen with them until we see what their verdict is, but i think it's becoming very evident what happened was 100 percent wrong, they misled, they obstructed justice in the entire fbi was in on it right and the campaign and the dnc. a gate thank you so much for grainy joining us tonight on hannity, we appreciate it. despite the mountain of evidenc against sussman, prosecutors face an uphill battle in part because of the clinton donors i the jury pool. here now with more is george washington law professor jonathan turley great thank you so much for joining us professor , you have written about this, i really appreciate your comments on this, but what is it, three of the jurors are actually clinton donors? why are they sitting in the jur pool? >> it's a bizarre twist, but when we gary guarantee you jury of your peers, we don't me

was seeding info on trump when it came from michael sussman. the man on trial this week. your take. >> i think it's fascinating. sussman is a lobbyist, an attorney on the outside of the one of the t*id bits coming out of this election he had a hall pass. he had a badge to get into the department of justice without having to sign into visitors log. are you kidding me? this is comey's f.b.i. and the way they run things over there and he talks to his buddy jim. jim is not just an average jim but the general counsel for the federal bureau of investigation and gives him the information. he lies about that information and then suddenly in this two-week period it gets spun around such that this poor agent in chicago gets this information that says hey, here is this white paper and thumb drive. they want in chicago to talk to who is the originator of this and the f.b.i. doesn't come clean and make it look like it's the department of justice instead of saying it's the clinton campaign. this is why durham and his work is so important. >> harris: you know, you talk about kind of cov
