U.S. District Court Judge Christopher Cooper limited testimony and evidence at the trial about whether the secret server allegations Sussmann gave to the FBI had merit or not, although jurors have heard the FBI concluded they were unfounded.
But prosecutors also have to show that Sussmann’s alleged lie was “material,” meaning it could have affected the FBI’s investigation in a significant way. The defense repeatedly scoffed at the FBI’s probe, arguing it was so cursory and left so many potential leads unexplored that whether Sussmann mentioned a client or not hardly mattered.
The evidence that the former federal prosecutor lied is almost entirely circumstantial.

Clinton has not committed a crime; that's the bottom line.
