The Russia-Trump collusion narrative of 2016 and beyond was a dirty trick for the ages, and now we know it came from the top—candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton. That was the testimony Friday by 2016 Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook in federal court, and while this news is hardly a surprise, it’s still bracing to find her fingerprints on the political weapon.
Mr. Mook testified as a witness in special counsel John Durham’s trial of Michael Sussmann, the lawyer accused of lying to the FBI. In September 2016, Mr. Sussmann took claims of a secret Trump connection to Russia’s Alfa Bank to the FBI and said he wasn’t acting on behalf of any client. Prosecutors say he was working for the Clinton campaign.
Prosecutors presented evidence this week that Mr. Sussmann worked with cyber-researchers and opposition-research firm Fusion GPS to produce the claims on behalf of the Clinton campaign, and to feed them to the FBI. An FBI agent testified that a bureau analysis quickly rejected the claims as implausible. (Mr. Sussmann has pleaded not guilty.)
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.

Bad girl
The thing is, the FBI knew and went along with it, and the MSM knew and went along with it.
It only went as far as it did and lasted as long as it did because of the collusion of the FBI, CIA, DOJ and select Bush League Republicans.
So now that its been ferreted out, how is this not a conspiracy with charges against Shrillary?
I hope they slap her wrist really, really hard this time.
Robby Mook was her campaign manager, I believe? He was the top guy in her campaign. This is like a “smoking gun” so to speak, if he’s testifying that these orders came from Hillary herself, personally.
He better watch his back. Sometimes people who cross the Clintons have had bad endings.
Surprising it came out at all.
“The thing is, the FBI knew and went along with it, and the MSM knew and went along with it.”
Yep, and there will be no accountability.
That is why no one will ever prosecute or convict the hildabeast. The Clintons have a lot of dead folks in their wake.
Doesn’t matter. Mission accomplished. Trump’s administration was hobbled, thanks to the infernal anti-republican media, the infernal Jeff Sessions, etc.
Or perhaps Barack Hussein Obama!

Big Fat Deal. We all know NOTHING will happen and there will be NO consequences. Now if gallows are being built on the Mall in DC, then maybe................
And don’t forget obama.
That was when we should have realized that Obonzo and Holder had weaponized the FIB against Americans with Snowflakes. Old school FBI agents didn’t socialize with the perps by enjoying donuts and coffee on their early Saturday morning raids complete with their own news crew to record the festivities for CNN.
Mook has nothing to worry about. The Judge is a conflicted rat. The Jury has Clinton contributors on it. Obviously Durham knows this but let’s the charade go on. So expect nothing to come from this.
Years if investigations, fake impeachment, millions of $$$, sabotaged presidency.
Hillary and clan needs to be held accountable. The FBI and other intelligence agencies knew damn good and well it was all a hoax. The media perpetuated a lie. Mueller and team continued to investigate knowing full well it would hurt Trump and team.
If this isn’t made right by multiple prosecutions and jail sentences...we’ve lost our republic.
This will all get wiped away, like with a cloth.
“At this point, what difference does it make?”
Sorry, had to go there.
And the courts knew and went along with it.
