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.

If the people who did it (pass around the false information to the FBI and the LAAP-dog media) billed her campaign for their time and effort, and then she paid it, does that count?

She’s not locked up yet?
“If the people who did it (pass around the false information to the FBI and the LAAP-dog media) billed her campaign for their time and effort, and then she paid it, does that count?”
She will claim that others handle things including the billing and payments and she had no specific knowledge. (or her famous “I don’t remember”).
Oct 31, 2016 was a Monday I believe. November 8 (eight days later) was Election Day. During Nov 4-6 (not sure of the specific date), the Clinton campaign called off their celebratory fireworks display. The Clinton tweet was pre-emptive in the hopes that in the following week, their polling would show her ahead. Botton Line: The Clinton cabal knew NLT Oct 31 that they were going to lose and the tweet was a last ditch effort to bullshit the electorate.
Consider that Sussmann’s billing her—and her paying—for his actions and her activities and behavior being in synch with and benefitting from Sussman’s activities shows her to have been the unlawful instigator of Sussmann’s potential crimes.
Still, I wouldn't put it past her to make the argument that she was involved in everything else... but this.

Thank you.
And what kind of crime is that?
BINGO...We have a Winner!
Start with inducing a false report to be made to the FBI.
She has not come out and denied it.
If you don’t do that immediately...it will always be TOO LATE.
No, she is stuck with the TRUTH.
She was the force behind the corruption of so many people, that she will NEVER shake the image of her appearance before Congress to defend her role in Benghazi.
THAT IS HER EVIL LEGACY. AND THAT IS HOW SHE WILL BE REMEMBERED.
THANK YOU, JOHN DURHAM.
You are so correct. And you will see more and more of those people who are no longer her fans.
He might not do it, but somebody of prominence needs to call for it so the LAAP-dog media is forced to cover it and his refusal.
