Hillary’s Role in the Russia Smear

The article below shows that apart from being a venal, power-hungry and chronic ingrate, HRC is a colossal criminal of vaulting ambition with the instincts of a cornered sewer rat.

She ought to be prosecuted for attempting to undermine our electoral process and so should John Podesta, Jake Sullivan and Robby Mook.

They all knew they were peddling an atrocious lie the size of Jupiter. Prison is the only place for them. In a different age they would have been shot for treason.

If there is such a thing left in America as a good and principled Democrat then Doug Schoen, a co-author of this article, is one of them. The identities of the other nine are unknown to me.

Hillary’s Role in the Russia Smear

The Sussmann trial provides more evidence that she personally directed the effort.

By Douglas Schoen and Andrew Stein, Wall Street Journal, June 5, 2022:
>> Mr. Schoen was a senior adviser to Bill Clinton’s 1996 campaign, a White House adviser (1994-2000) and an adviser to Hillary Clinton’s 2000 U.S. Senate campaign. Mr. Stein, a Democrat, served as New York City Council president, 1986-94.

The acquittal of former Hillary Clinton lawyer Michael Sussmann—charged with lying to the Federal Bureau of Investigation while acting on behalf of her 2016 campaign—leaves major questions unanswered about Mrs. Clinton’s role in her campaign’s effort to tie Donald Trump to Russia. It also provides new evidence that she personally directed the effort.

In July 2016, John Brennan, then director of the Central Intelligence Agency, briefed President Obama that Mrs. Clinton gave “approval” for a “proposal from one of her foreign policy advisors to vilify Donald Trump by stirring up scandal and claiming interference by the Russian security service,” according to Mr. Brennan’s notes from the meeting, which were obtained by Fox News.

During Mr. Sussmann’s trial, Mrs. Clinton’s campaign manager, Robby Mook, testified that he and other top aides decided to feed the press a story in October 2016 about the now-disproven allegations of secret ties between the Trump Organization and Alfa Bank. Importantly, Mr. Mook said that Mrs. Clinton was aware of, and approved of, this plan. “We discussed it with Hillary,” Mr. Mook testified. “She agreed with the decision.”

When the campaign leaked the unverified story, Clinton aide Jake Sullivan—now President Biden’s national security adviser, and perhaps the foreign-policy adviser to whom Mr. Brennan referred—issued a statement indicating that a probe could be imminent: “We can only assume that federal authorities will now explore this direct connection between Trump and Russia as part of their existing probe into Russia’s meddling in our elections.” Mrs. Clinton tweeted out Mr. Sullivan’s statement.
