Prosecutors asked Mr. Mook about his role in funneling the Alfa Bank claims to the press. Mr. Mook admitted the campaign lacked expertise to vet the data, yet the decision was made by Mr. Mook, policy adviser Jake Sullivan (now President Biden’s national security adviser), communications director Jennifer Palmieri and campaign chairman John Podesta to give the Alfa Bank claims to a reporter. Mr. Mook said Mrs. Clinton was asked about the plan and approved it. A story on the Trump-Alfa Bank allegations then appeared in Slate, a left-leaning online publication.
On Oct. 31, 2016, Mr. Sullivan issued a statement mentioning the Slate story, writing, “This could be the most direct link yet between Donald Trump and Moscow.” Mrs. Clinton tweeted Mr. Sullivan’s statement with the comment: “Computer scientists have apparently uncovered a covert server linking the Trump Organization to a Russian-based bank.” “Apparently” is doing a lot of work in that sentence.
In short, the Clinton campaign created the Trump-Alfa allegation, fed it to a credulous press that failed to confirm the allegations but ran with them anyway, then promoted the story as if it was legitimate news. The campaign also delivered the claims to the FBI, giving journalists another excuse to portray the accusations as serious and perhaps true.

That’s how much the democrats and the left (redundant) hate DJT. In the words of dan rather, fake but accurate.
Clinton campaign knew all along the “credulous” press would run with it anyway.
That’s the whole idea…
This whole RussiaRussiaRussia play was about ACTUALLY refusing to accept the results of the election Trump won.
It was structured that way - we win, Trump is smeared as a Russian puppet and loser. We lose, Trump is smeared as a Russian puppet, and we'll hamstring him for his entire four years, till we can rig the next "election".
That's how much the left hate us.
The witch encouraged that hate with a lie. Hillary Clinton the last 30 years has screwed this country over from Monica Lewinsky to Benghazi finishing up with Russia Russia Russia. So where are the swat teams and the frogmen? Oh I almost forgot CNN She deserves the full Monty. Hillary you have a choice the Jeffrey Epstein bungalow in Florida or the Martha Stewart suite?
So, on October 31, 2016, was this supposed to change the election, or begin to deal with a possible Trump win?
Remember, Hillary wasn’t campaigning. She was relying on the Steal, to win.
Well, duh!
When your fascists election plans go awry, use the Joseph Goebells propaganda machine to gain power.
In this case it failed and it drove these knuckle dragging Hillary fascists crazy. They kept at if for 4 years in a double down.
NOW THEY PAY!
Of course she did. That's how she has always operated. She's unbridled ambition and narcissism - without conscience or ethics. She's the exact opposite of what we need in any public position - or for that matter in any 'position' in which she is empowered to do harm.
She has NEVER wanted to 'serve' anyone. It's all about her.
Mitch McConnell has never mentioned Russia collusion hoax, Spy Gate, or Hunter Biden’s laptop.
“Of course she did.”
Did she make the “approval” in writing, in a memo or in an email? If not, forget it. Even if she did, do you think the DOJ will prosecute? Forget it. I despise her as much as anyone, but there is no cheese in the mousetrap.

The chances that any Clinton will be held responsible for anything is ministerial, at best.
It was a "allegation," but I don't remember a single case in which the word "alleged" was used in any of the numerous headlines about it, let alone in the stories themselves.
'I'm Hillary Clinton and I approved this hoax.'
In short, the Clinton campaign created the Trump-Alfa allegation, fed it to a credulous press that failed to confirm the allegations but ran with them anyway, then promoted the story as if it was legitimate news.
What could she be indicted for? Spreading rumors?
I told you that old toad farted - hope she doesn’t get fined or something 🤪
They could put Colonel Pantsuit on the stand and get her to blurt out “DAMN RIGHT I ORDERED THE CODE RED!!... and I’d do it again...!” only to see the jury and courtroom press give her a quiet thumbs up.
