In the shock of the century, it turns out that Hillary Clinton is a crooked politician and a liar.
I mean, who could have seen this coming?
Who would have thought that the most corrupt politician in our lifetime, the most conniving and manipulative government actor, the worst candidate in national election history, could stoop so low as to accuse her opponent of something false?
But that's exactly what happened.
From the Wall Street Journal:
The Russia-Trump collusion narrative of 2016 and beyond was a dirty trick for the ages, and now we know it came from the top—candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton. That was the testimony Friday by 2016 Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook in federal court, and while this news is hardly a surprise, it's still bracing to find her fingerprints on the political weapon.
Yep, Hillary did it.
Trump had thoughts by the way:
The Russian collusion narrative we had to hear about for four long years, it was all fake from the beginning, as many of us knew.
And Hillary was behind it all. As most everyone knew.
Mr. Mook testified as a witness in special counsel John Durham's trial of Michael Sussmann, the lawyer accused of lying to the FBI. In September 2016, Mr. Sussmann took claims of a secret Trump connection to Russia's Alfa Bank to the FBI and said he wasn't acting on behalf of any client. Prosecutors say he was working for the Clinton campaign.
Prosecutors presented evidence this week that Mr. Sussmann worked with cyber-researchers and opposition-research firm Fusion GPS to produce the claims on behalf of the Clinton campaign, and to feed them to the FBI. An FBI agent testified that a bureau analysis quickly rejected the claims as implausible. (Mr. Sussmann has pleaded not guilty.)
Sussman, on orders from Hillary Clinton, took these ridiculous and fabricated claims to the FBI, which rejected them and claimed he did it without any connection to any campaign.
And all the evidence is proving that Sussman was lying.
Oh, and in case you thought this is all irrelevant now, check this out (emphasis added by me):
Prosecutors asked Mr. Mook about his role in funneling the Alfa Bank claims to the press. Mr. Mook admitted the campaign lacked expertise to vet the data, yet the decision was made by Mr. Mook, policy adviser Jake Sullivan (now President Biden's national security adviser), communications director Jennifer Palmieri and campaign chairman John Podesta to give the Alfa Bank claims to a reporter. Mr. Mook said Mrs. Clinton was asked about the plan and approved it. A story on the Trump-Alfa Bank allegations then appeared in Slate, a left-leaning online publication.
Joe Biden's CURRENT national security adviser, Jake Sullivan, was on the team that approved leaking the debunked and fabricated Russian collusion hoax to the press.
This guy is Biden's Kissinger and he's serving in the White House TODAY!
On Oct. 31, 2016, Mr. Sullivan issued a statement mentioning the Slate story, writing, "This could be the most direct link yet between Donald Trump and Moscow." Mrs. Clinton tweeted Mr. Sullivan's statement with the comment: "Computer scientists have apparently uncovered a covert server linking the Trump Organization to a Russian-based bank." "Apparently" is doing a lot of work in that sentence.
These guys are lying liars who lie.
This is a scandal beyond scandals and many of the people in charge are going to face zero consequences as Sussman takes the fall.
In short, the Clinton campaign created the Trump-Alfa allegation, fed it to a credulous press that failed to confirm the allegations but ran with them anyway, then promoted the story as if it was legitimate news. The campaign also delivered the claims to the FBI, giving journalists another excuse to portray the accusations as serious and perhaps true.
Most of the press will ignore this news, but the Russia-Trump narrative that Mrs. Clinton sanctioned did enormous harm to the country. It disgraced the FBI, humiliated the press, and sent the country on a three-year investigation to nowhere. Vladimir Putin never came close to doing as much disinformation damage.
THIS needs to be the story of the year. It won't get much coverage outside of conservative outlets, but even CNN is having to admit that this is not good.
They are, however, still running cover for Clinton and the FBI:
During the hearing, Twitter users recirculated Clinton's old post. It caught the eye of billionaire Elon Musk, who has become increasingly vocal about political matters while he tries to buy Twitter, and recently announced his support for the Republican Party. He called the Trump-Alfa allegation "a Clinton campaign hoax" and claimed that Sussmann "created an elaborate hoax."
Sussmann's lawyers declined to comment to CNN about Musk's tweets.
There is no evidence to support Musk's claim that Sussmann or the Clinton campaign peddled information they knew was untrue. Multiple witnesses testified that respected cyber experts harbored genuine national security concerns about the data. Sussmann's lawyers repeatedly said he had no reason to doubt the accuracy of the material when he provided it to the FBI.
How could Hillary have known these claims which she paid for through Fusion GPS, were rejected by the FBI, and then secretly leaked to the media were false? How could she have known that was the case?
CNN based 5 literal years of their programming on the Trump-Russia collusion, and they are even less likely than Clinton to admit that it was all bunk from the beginning.
If you think they're going to apologize and stop lying now, you've got another thing coming.
