Hillary Clinton responded to the recent finding by Special Counsel John Durham that a lawyer working for her 2016 campaign had paid a tech firm that covertly spied on the Trump campaign and even his presidency.
She predictably blamed Donald Trump and Fox News for “desperately spinning up a fake scandal to distract from his real ones.”

“Trump & Fox are desperately spinning up a fake scandal to distract from his real ones,” she claimed on Twitter. “So it’s a day that ends in Y.
“The more his misdeeds are exposed, the more they lie,” she went on. “For those interested in reality, here’s a good debunking of their latest nonsense.”
Hillary Clinton pointed to a Vanity Fair article that studiously avoids the controversies provoked by illicit and covert data collection on her rival’s official and private communications, which were used to make fraudulent accusations to U.S. intelligence agencies that Trump had a “secret” backchannel to a Putin-linked Russian bank.
Clinton was recently confronted in public with the latest Durham bombshell that she paid intelligence contractors to spy on Donald Trump during his campaign and while he was in the White House.
This was her awkward reaction to the Daily Mail confronting her on the report. Watch:
Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign paid the Neustar tech firm to mine data from then-candidate Donald Trump’s private and campaign communications. Furthermore, that spying continued when Trump became president.
Special Counsel John Durham highlighted these findings in a motion to probe potential conflicts of interest with lawyer Michael Sussmann, who had worked for the Hillary Clinton campaign.
“As set forth in the Indictment, on Sept. 19, 2016 – less than two months before the 2016 U.S. Presidential election – the defendant, a lawyer at a large international law firm (‘Law Firm-1’) that was then serving as counsel to the Clinton Campaign, met with the FBI General Counsel at FBI Headquarters in Washington, D.C,” the indictment’s factual background states. “The defendant provided the FBI General Counsel with purported data and ‘white papers’ that allegedly demonstrated a covert communications channel between the Trump Organization and a Russia-based bank (‘Russian Bank-1’).”
This is referring to the debunked smear that Donald Trump had a secret bank wire with a Putin-linked Moscow bank named Alfa Bank. Clinton’s lawyer Michael Sussmann utilized the false accusations to argue that the federal government should conduct surveillance on the Trump campaign. Sussmann even peddled this baseless allegation to FBI and the Central Intelligence Agency.
“The Indictment alleges that the defendant lied in that meeting, falsely stating to the General Counsel that he was not providing the allegations to the FBI on behalf of any client,” the indictment continues. “In fact, the defendant had assembled and conveyed the allegations to the FBI on behalf of at least two specific clients, including (i) a technology executive (‘Tech Executive-1’) at a U.S.-based Internet company (‘Internet Company-1’), and (ii) the Clinton Campaign.”
Thus, Sussmann lied to the FBI about his work for the Clinton campaign, as well as his ties to a tech executive that has been identified as Rodney Joffe, senior vice president of Neustar.
The Democratic Party faithful typically fall in line with whatever their leaders tell them to think. But the times may be a’changing, if a new TIPP poll involving Hillary Clinton is any indication.
“A growing chorus of Democrats believe 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton should be questioned by special advisor John Durham for her alleged role in the Russian secret server scandal in a poll conducted before bombshell revelations that her team spied on Donald Trump’s campaign,” the Daily Mail reported on Sunday.
“In a poll last month, 66 percent of Democrats wanted Clinton questioned, a whopping 22 percentage points higher than how many in her party demanded a probe last October, according to TechnoMetrica Institute of Policy and Politics (TIPP) research,” the report noted.
“The amount of Republicans demanding answers is also swelling, rising to 91 percent in January from 80 percent last October,” the report continued. “Among the independent crowd, those wanting the former secretary of state probed rose to 74 percent from 65 percent.”
Now comes an even more devastating part: It was before the recent damning revelations that Team Hillary has been linked to a tech firm that effectively spied on Donald Trump.
“Both polls were completed before Special Counsel John Durham last week released a bombshell report that claimed Clinton’s campaign team tried to spy on former president Trump’s computer servers in a failed attempt to tie him to Russia,” the report added.
The Trump spying scandal is becoming worse by the day: FEC reporting shows that both the Biden campaign in 2020 and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) utilized the same firm, Neustar Information Services, prior to elections.
“The Biden campaign paid nearly $20,000 to a cybersecurity firm at the center of Special Counsel John Durham’s investigation into the origins of the Trump-Russia probe,” Chuck Ross reported at the Free Beacon.
According to the Federal Election Commission records uncovered by the Free Beacon, the Biden campaign paid Neustar Information Services $18,819 in 2020 for ‘accounting and compliance work.’

The FBI would launch an investigation into the Trump campaign to look into the debunked Alfa Bank connection. Hillary Clinton even weaponized the political disinformation in an October 2016 tweet.

The Biden and Clinton campaigns are the only two presidential committees to have ever paid Neustar, the Free Beacon noted, but the DCCC also hired the firm before the 2018 midterms.
Did she really say she wasn’t a crook?
Sounds a little desperate, Hilly.
Is she referring to Stormy Daniels? The Russian prostitutes? The Russian Collusion? Not sure which of his "misdeeds" are currently being "exposed".
The Clintons are world class liars.
That’s her best spin? He is desperate?
That’s some weak sauce right there.
It was all because of an awful internet video.
I’d like to live long enough to see that evil bitch hanged.
She’s supposedly going to be running for president. Again!
Would she be running for president if she had done anything wrong? That’s what she wants the world to think.
IOW, she can’t be guilty of wrongdoing is she feels safe enough to run for president.
Besides, ‘what difference does it make at this point?’
the Biden campaign paid Neustar Information Services $18,819 in 2020 for ‘accounting and compliance work.’
note quotations of “accounting and compliance work’
But the amount is not very large, so there were payments from other sources?
I submit to you (for your consideration) that the Clintons are in fact NOT world class liars but merely amateurs. The reason they are NOT world class liars is that continually get caught lying; they may not suffer any consequences in this life for it ... but they are always getting caught.
V/R ...
“Would she be running for president if she had done anything wrong? That’s what she wants the world to think.”
Well the world does not seem to have a clue about the pathology of shamelessness
Clinton about Trump: “The more his misdeeds are exposed, the more they lie.”
Pure PROJECTION. One of many ways the Democrat lies.
You can’t be serious!
The Sussman case.

A cybersecurity firm at the center of Special Counsel John Durham’s investigation into the origins of the Trump-Russia probe was paid nearly $20,000 by The Biden campaign.
<><>The Biden campaign paid Neustar Information Services in 2020 for accounting and compliance work, according to Federal Election Commission records.
<><>According to Durham, Neustar’s chief technology officer, Rodney Joffe, accessed sensitive web traffic data that the company maintained on behalf of the White House executive office to collect “derogatory” information about Donald Trump.
The South African Joffe allegedly provided the information to Hillary Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann, who in turn gave it to the CIA during a meeting in February 2017. Durham charged Sussmann in September with lying to the FBI about his investigation of Trump.
That raises the question: was the same action going on against Trump in 2020?
The Biden and Clinton campaigns are the only two presidential committees to have ever paid Neustar, according to Federal Election Commission records.
<><>Biden’s campaign paid Neustar $18,819 on Sept. 29, 2020, the records show.
<><>The Clinton campaign paid the firm $3,000 in May 2015 for mobile phone services.
<><> Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee paid $3,000 to Neustar in 2017.
Neustar executives and staffers contributed $17,906 to Biden’s campaign, FEC records show.
She is simply distracted from the aroma of boiled cabbage, urine and farts
The Swamp is lovely, dark and deep, but they have promises to keep, and miles to go before Cankles sleeps.
And nothing will ever happen to her.
She’s crossed the threshold of hilarious satire.
She spends her time attacking Trump and Fox news.
But it was the Special Counsel that made the accusation.
Actually in my opinion they are very poor Liars.
The media and the left act like it’s the gospel coming out of her mouth.
The fact that they swallow everything whole that she spews is not a credit to her lying ability so much as a comment on their depraved stupidity.
