Hillary Clinton's former campaign manager, Robby Mook, made news when he told a court on Friday that Hillary personally signed off on sharing debunked allegations linking Donald Trump and the Kremlin-backed Alfa-Bank with the media in the run-up to the 2016 presidential election.
Mook was a witness at the trial of former Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann, who has been indicted by Justice Department special counsel John Durham on charges that he lied to the bureau's general counsel to hide his connection to the Clinton campaign.
Mook testified that he and others at the Clinton campaign "weren't totally confident" regarding the veracity of the information, but they sent it to reporters anyway a few months before the election, hoping that reporters would follow it up and determine if it was "accurate" or "substantive."
Mook added that he discussed the matter with then-senior adviser Jake Sullivan — now the White House national security adviser — and campaign chairman John Podesta about whether to share the information with a reporter.
Ideally, Sullivan should have been asked to step down until the probe is complete. But morals have no place in the world of the Democrats. Democrat allies and puppets in the media are not going to challenge them on this.
The specifics of Mook's remarks were as follows:
I discussed it with Hillary as well. I don't remember the substance of the conversation, but notionally, the discussion was, hey, we have this and we want to share it with a reporter. I recall it being a member of our press staff. We authorized a staff member to share it with the media.
This statement did cause cheering among Trump supporters and right-leaning media outlets. They probably hope this is the first step toward punishing Hillary for her actions.

Nothing will happen. I believe Statute of Limitations has passed. Read it months ago. Just beating a dead horse.
Nope.
This is all a red herring.
Hillary will eventually give an accounting of her life.
Not until God judges.
No one’s gettin’ anything but Mook.
No way! Too many insiders get their just desserts as well. She ain’t going down quietly.
Waiting...
Until I see her idiot ass being dragged off to prison in an orange jumpsuit, the answer is NO.
Of course nothing will happen since people have already asserted that nothing will happen.
Or you could make a stink and see if that spurs anybody on to make something happen...
Statute of limitations in a conspiracy starts its countdown from the last act committed and resets every time there is a new attempt to hide or cover up.
Highly unlikely. Prove me wrong, please.
That said, this author goes a long way to generously give every possible benefit of doubt to Clinton. All of his examples of Clinton's plausible deniability flies in the face of what we know of her past actions.

Not even thinking about holding my breath on that happening.
No. But for what it’s worth she has run out of political clout.
NOPE NOPE NOPE
There are two standards in this country! The little people go to jail and the and the elites get off Scot free.
It depends on her health...
Nothing will happen. However, losing to Trump will eat away at the old drunk for the rest of her miserable life.
No. We’e been down the road for the past 40 years and she miss still laughing.
