(Photo by Drew Angerer\/Getty Images)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h5>OAN Newsroom<br \/>UPDATED 12:45 PM PT \u2013 Friday, September 17, 2021<\/h5>\n<p>Former Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Richard Grenell called the new charges in the John Durham probe an important development. In an interview on Wednesday, Grenell called the probe a \u201cswamp situation,\u201d saying while the charges are an important development, they aren\u2019t the key to the whole investigation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI hope that we have a lot of time to focus on these issues going forward,\u201d stated Grenell in an interview. \u201cThe media that pushed this, I don\u2019t believe that the FBI officials were duped by an outside lawyer working with Hillary Clinton who lied about his client.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On Wednesday, Durham handed up charges against attorney Michael Sussmann, accusing him of lying to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in 2016. Grenell said there\u2019s a treasure trove of people lying under oath in the transcripts released while he was DNI. He added how scary it is to think politics permeated the Department of Justice and FBI just because everybody in Washington wanted Clinton to win the 2016 presidential election.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEverybody in Washington\u2026lobbyists, newsrooms, a whole bunch of people\u2026wanted Hillary to win. So what did they do? They allowed this opposition research to become part of the DOJ and FBI,\u201d argued Grenell. \u201cThat is what we call political prosecution, and when it happens in third world countries we call it out.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The FBI leadership knew it was a phony story and continued the investigation anyway \u2013 because it helped all those people who loved Hillary.

Total coincidence,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The latest indictment accuses Sussmann of hiding his involvement with the Clinton presidential campaign during a conversation in 2016 held with the FBI\u2019s general counsel. Due to Sussmann\u2019s lack of transparency, he is accused of \u201cdepriving the FBI of information that might have permitted it to more fully assess and uncover the origins of the relevant data\u201d according to the indictment filed by special counsel Durham.<\/p>\n<p>However, Sussmann\u2019s attorneys have claimed their client was indicted because of \u201cpolitics, not facts.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/white-house-press-secy-psaki-new-indo-pacific-deal-is-not-snub-towards-france\/\">White House Press Secy.
