When BuzzFeed published that now-infamous dossier of unproven claims about Donald Trump and Russia, in January, former Hillary Clinton campaign aides expressed outrage that news outlets that had obtained the dossier before Election Day did not make its contents public in time to influence voters, and Clinton later aired the same grievance in her book about the presidential race.
It turns out that the reaction of the Democratic presidential nominee and her team was disingenuous.
What Clinton and her advisers presented as their judgment that the media had made the wrong call was, in fact, their frustration at having failed to plant negative news reports before ballots were cast.
There is a fundamental contradiction here: Clinton wanted the dossier to be viewed as credible yet she did not want to be connected to it. She hoped the media, before Election Day, would publish claims about Trump to which she was unwilling to attach her own name.

Since this is coming from the WaPo, the long knives must be out....................
She says this whole thing has been debunked. So who debunked it? Holder? Hell he was part of it. James Clapper? Hell he was part of all this. So Hillary, who was it that debunked this?
Now that’s the kind of body language I’d like to see her use. BAM!
Rush is unloading......
More like on FIRE !
Has she ever been ingenious?
That’s the big question, why is this appearing in the WAPO? The only reason I can imagine is to discredit HRC,which it has done. From this I infer that the anti-HRC forces in the DNC have (1) gained the upper hand, and (2) have concluded that HRC intends to run again in 2020.
This is WAPO?
Alternate reality or what? Trashing hillary, bigtime?
confusion: banana, apple ...

Not disingenuous...they were flat out effin lying.
Tom Perez is an ardent Obama supporter, meaning there is no love lost with the Clintons. He wants them out of the picture so Obama can have complete control over the Democrat Party, because that is what Soros also wants.
Might be time to go long on your popcorn options.
It was fake. Clinton knew it was fake. Her staff knew it was fake. The DNC knew it was fake.
And they all promoted it.
FOX is calling it what it is - was funny how one of Hillary’s supporters was trying to claim it was all “just normal campaign research”.....they tried hard not to laugh at her...
Slipped?
On a banana peel, no doubt.
yep
Perkins Coie is Marc Elias's firm. Another Perkins Coie personality is Obama's WH counsel Robert "Bob" Bauer [also counsel for Obama for America], the husband of Mao-loving kook Anita Dunn.
“Disingenuous outrage? That’s her thang.”
Kinda reminds you of that “vast right-wing conspiracy” don’t it?
