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.

they were so shocked that Trump won....they were gonna do what they could to stop him from governing and and get him so pissed that he would resign...and also to dig for any reason to impeach him. Comey, etc abused their power to try and take down a President....will Durham peel this onion...hes off to a good first step.
Sorry to differ.
Sociopaths and tyrants do not feel the remorse and shame the rest of us feel.
I think Her Royal Thighness Hillary looks in the mirror and sees a youthful and beautiful stateswoman in league with great women in history.
Just my opinion.
Bingo! Promethean justice gnawing away at her sours everything in her wretched existence.
“”McCain-Feingold””
I do believe that’s true - thanks!
“But for what it’s worth she has run out of political clout.”
Yep, she is toxic to the Left and they want no part of her. Probably worse than jail for Hillary .
NO.....HANGING IS TOO GOOD FOR HER!!
Hi Ann.
I hope you are doing well.
“NO.....HANGING IS TOO GOOD FOR HER!!”
There is that Eight amendment thingy to the U.S. Constitution.
Would you agree to a firing squad?
5.56mm
YES!! Thank you!!
I think so too, but you never know.
You think she cares about our health?
Who is Robbie Mook? I’ve never heard of him.
I agree....I’m sure she thinks of it every time she sees his name.
Hillary would enjoy reading some of these posts.
Should be Robby, not Robbie. The person the article was written about.
No. My point was she will get what is coming to her only when she takes a dirt nap.
