Hillary Clinton’s campaign didn’t just pay for the Kremlin-aided smear job on Donald Trump before the election; she continued to use the dirt after the election to frame her humiliating loss as a Russian conspiracy to steal the election.
Bitter to the core, she and her campaign aides hatched a scheme, just 24 hours after conceding the race, to spoon-feed the dirty rumors to an eager liberal media and manufacture the narrative Russia secretly colluded with her neophyte foe to sabotage her coronation.
But it was Hillary who was trying to kneecap Trump, even after he licked her, fair and square, in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Michigan and other blue states.
Exhibit A is the book “Shattered: Inside Hillary Clinton’s Doomed Campaign,” by Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes. In light of this week’s revelation that Hillary’s campaign funded the dirty anti-Trump “Steele” dossier, the book takes on a new significance. It reveals:
“Within 24 hours of her concession speech, [campaign chair John Podesta and manager Robby Mook] assembled her communications team at the Brooklyn headquarters to engineer the case that the election wasn’t entirely on the up-and-up. For a couple of hours, with Shake Shack containers littering the room, they went over the script they would pitch to the press and the public. Already, Russian hacking was the centerpiece of the argument.”
The plan, according to the book, was to push journalists to cover how “Russian hacking was the major unreported story of the campaign,” and it succeeded to a fare-thee-well. After the election, coverage of the Russian “collusion” story was relentless, and it helped pressure investigations and hearings on Capitol Hill and even the naming of a special counsel, which in turn has triggered virtually nonstop coverage.

I think the powers that be in DC have been shaken, and many will fall as a result of this
I go with willing accomplices.
Unfortunately, you are right about the influence of the lame stream press and also unfortunately the rinos that we sent to Congress to clean the swamp...the establishment is so entrenched that both the dems and the rinos looked to the fake Russia dossier as a weapon to keep the outsider Trump from cleaning the swamp...

The one mystery that remains is, what does Hillary eat that exempts her from normal standards of decency and gives her immunity against prosecution from all her felonies? Throw her in prison already!
Gosh, could it have anything to do with the naked fact that Partisan Media Shills run what alleges to be journalism in this country? Thanks Oshkalaboomboom.
...and the Elephant Man had a little puffiness around the eyes...
trying to kneecap Trump, even after he licked her,
Gag, visions of this will never leave my mind.
I think the PTB and the press will ignore this "debunked" story.
It’s never been so obvious. Willing accomplices. But most of those who get their news from the MSM are the fools. The MSM counts on that.
We went from a nation of laws, to people of power. And the media has most of it. Without the media Clintons and Obamas would be nothing..
The media colluded with the dims or more accurately as other Freepers have said they are the propaganda arm of the DNC.
“How Team Hillary played the press for fools on Russia”
Utter nonsense.
We all know the press knew/knows full well the facts, and were/still are so damned partisan Left as to cover for their candidate.
The "Russian collusion" narrative wasn't established to undermine Trump and come up with just one more in a litany of excuses Clinton would have for losing the election. In fact, suggesting that this was hatched in the Clinton campaign headquarters may be a deliberate attempt to hide the real reason why the story was fabricated:
1. The Obama administration was using law enforcement and national intelligence assets to conduct surveillance on senior members of the Trump campaign team throughout 2016 (if not earlier).
2. They assumed Clinton was going to win, so they thought they were going to get away with it.
3. When Clinton ended up losing, they all knew that the incoming Trump administration would find out about what had been done. So they had to concoct a story about "Russian collusion" in order to retroactively justify what they had been doing.
The obvious counter to your post is we are no longer in allegations land. That is what the Dems are desperate to push now as everything else has turned into the Alpha sub torpedo, Hunt For Red October reference. Their problem is the torpedo is just like in the movie. Arrogantly launched with no safeties.
You are right. Considering that taxpayers will bear the burden of the high crimes and felonies committed by IRS officials from Koskinen and Lois Lerner on down, the tea-leaves do not suggest Obama, Hillary, and the heads of the FBI, CIA, NSA will be held accountable.
If they all get off without punishment, the next rat President will pick up where Obama/Hillary left off. It will be the end of the remains of the republic.
So true
