Hillary Clinton DEFENDS paying for the Steele dossier into Trump and says it's not the same as working with Russians to influence the election

Hillary Clinton was on The Daily Show when Trevor Noah asked about dossier

Clinton defended herself, saying 'of course' there is a difference between paying for that information and colluding with Russia to influence the election

She described the dossier as 'opposition research' and pointed out that it was not made public during the campaign

However, she said the public should have known the FBI started investigating Trump's ties to Russia in summer 2016

Hillary Clinton has defended her campaign for paying for the infamous Steele dossier into Donald Trump.

The former presidential candidate told Trevor Noah on the Daily Show that 'of course' there is a difference between paying for that information and colluding with Russia to influence the 2016 election.

Clinton said the dossier was simply 'opposition research' and pointed to the fact that it was not public knowledge during the election. But she added that the public should have been aware that the FBI started investigating Trump's ties to Russia in the summer of 2016.

Clinton has previously blamed her election loss on the fact that James Comey reopened the FBI investigation into her emails and made that fact public.

In her book What Happened, Clinton accused the former FBI director of 'shivving' her over the emails and causing a drop in the polls.

Speaking about the dossier, Clinton said: 'It was research that started by a Republican donor during the primary, and then when Trump got the nomination for the Republican Party, the people doing it came to my campaign lawyer [Marc Elias] and said, "would you like us to continue it?"

Didn’t her minions at the DNC and her campaign explicitly state they didn’t know anything about it and weren’t funding it.

Watch out who you step on when you’re on your way up, Hillary. You’ll meet them on your way down.

Except you his the purchase under "lawyers fees". Looks like Marc is going to be the fall guy.

So why did it get to McCain?

And the big question according to Gowdy is if they used it to get FISA warrants.

Now what's the difference with this and the Trump Jr meet in Trump Tower with the Russian lobbyist?

What? This can’t be true! Just the other day Hillary said she knew Nothing of this! She claimed to not even know who funded the “Opposition Research”!

“Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we set out to deceive”!

Agree..

We need to push for a full scale detail audit and prosecution of the Clinton Foundation.

“Watch out who you step on when you’re on your way up, Hillary. You’ll meet them on your way down.”

She is starting to make enemies with those who below her, who have blindly supported Bill and Hill.

She may get a rebound from these quote little people that can really hurt her and Bill.

That was the new lying bastards at the DNC, not the old lying bastards.

Wow! The new DNC leadership, are like rats jumping from a sinking ship, just abandoning the Clintons and the old DNC!

"The Democratic National Committee claims its "new leadership" had nothing to do with the funding of the so-called "Trump dossier," after it was reported Tuesday that the firm behind it was hired by DNC lawyer Mark Elias and Hillary Clinton's campaign."

"Tom Perez and the new leadership of the DNC were not involved in the decision-making regarding Fusion GPS, nor were they aware that Perkins Coie was working with the organization," said DNC Communications Director Xochitl Hinojosa in statement, referring to the DNC chairman.
