JOE CONCHA (FOX NEWS CONTRIBUTOR): Donald Trump got 5.4% of the vote in Washington, D.C., in 2020, right? So the fact that this jury was going to be very sympathetic and friendly to Hillary Clinton's campaign lawyer is not surprising, especially when that jury had Clinton donors on it, to [Fox News correspondent] David Spunt's reporting earlier.
But I'm telling you, our faith in institutions just took another big hit as a result of this because this is a whole ball of wrong. Very frustrating to see that you have a man who peddled a lie to a friend at the FBI, lied that he was going there as a concerned citizen, and then he turns around and bills the Clinton campaign for that visit to his friend James Baker. What else do you need? But, you know, again, this jury was predispositioned to have a “not guilty" verdict, and here we are once again, another black eye for the justice system, Harris.
