Sussmann trial testimony confirms earlier CIA, FBI evidence that Hillary Clinton approved dirtying up Trump with unproven Russia allegations.
In an era where the hunt for disinformation has become a political obsession, Hillary Clinton has mostly escaped having to answer what role she played in spreading the false Russia collusion narrative that gripped America for nearly three years.
On Friday, that dodge ended with a most unlikely witness: her former campaign manager Robby Mook, who was supposed to be a witness helping the defense of her former campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann on a charge of lying to the FBI.
Instead, under cross-examination by Special Counsel John Durham's team, Mook was forced to concede two extraordinary facts.
First, the Clinton campaign wasn't "totally confident" about the accuracy of computer data suggesting Donald Trump had a secret communications channel to the Kremlin via Russia's Alfa Bank.
And second, Hillary Clinton herself personally approved spreading the story to the news media, despite the concerns about its accuracy.
"I discussed it with Hillary as well," Mook testified. "I don't remember the substance of the conversation, but notionally, the discussion was, hey, we have this and we want to share it with a reporter," Mook said.
Prosecutors asked Mook if Clinton approved leaking the story to the media.
"She agreed," Mook testified.
The testimony confirms what CIA Director John Brennan told President Barack Obama secretly in July 2016 and what the CIA later told the FBI two months later: There was intelligence that Clinton had approved a plan to dirty up Trump with Russia allegations to distract from her own email server scandal.
Kevin Brock, the FBI’s former assistant director for intelligence, called Mook’s revelation a “startling piece of testimony, particularly since he was a defense witness.”

Neither would I, Guen.
If only that evil, rotten, selfish, nasty witch pays the price by being reviled and hated by most Americans, that will satisfy me. She is one who deserves nothing but revulsion, and I think with this witness, who is supposed to be defending her, comes out and states that IT WAS SHE WHO LET IT LEAK to the press.
She will only be liked or “respected” by the lunatics in the AOC Squad and that won’t last. Hillary is too old to maintain the Young Communists’ attention.
Win Win
Where’s the apology from the United States media? She’s a con artist.
We can begin by calling for Jake Sullivan to step down as National Security Advisor over his role in perpetuating this fraud on the American people.
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.

But the good news is that the Clinton's time is one and done. Neither she or Billy Boy will ever be in the halls of power again. Billy is too sick and she's too damaged politically —and her cheese is slipping off the cracker with her Tweets becoming more and more outrageous. She's toast and she knows it.
I hope the next time we see that “resting bitch face” of hers it'll be at her funeral.....
Like Richard Burr, “republican” on the Senate Intel Committee, who let Mark Warner run the Committee, knew this was a pack of harmful lies, and did and said nothing.

So a top FBI official was surprised at Hillary’s lying? He should have been fired just for that stupid act of believing anything this leftist criminal bitch said. she’s been like that adult life.
Not the FBI I used to work with. Makes J Edgar Hoover look like a near saint and very prescient about what the combined Communist liberal attacks on it were going to do re the rippling, if not near destruction of a once premier time and subversion fighting organization.
15. I hope that Jesus is the name of her jailer for life!
Since Democrats and various DOJ officials are hell bent on trying to find something illegal to charge Trump with, perhaps it is time to start chanting “Lock Her Up” again.
Justice should not be handed out on the basis of which political party.
While I want to see this harridan behind bars in the worst way, I really want to see that bug-eyed twerp Adam Schiff in the slammer for his egregious lies and pompous prancing saying all of the things he did, based on these LIES. He cost us millions based upon his warped wet dreams. Throw away the key.
All that bs and guess who STILL isn’t President..
Hey John if everybody knew at the time that this allegation of Russian collusion was false then why was a special console formed to investigate it.
My answer is that you had people on both sides of the aisle, including Trumps AG, who hated Trump so much they wanted to use this to get rid of him.
In other words this does not only imply that Hillary Clinton was behind the misinformation but others in the republican party were also.
None of this of course matters unless somebody is going to go to jail eventually.
Not very First Ladylike...
So when is the swat team and the frogmen going to arrive at Chappaqua? We’re waiting
Other than confirmation, this brings nothing new to the table for many of us that long long asserted and knew concerning this matter.
Lock her up.
Robbie the Mookster will take up permanent residence in a bauxite pit just south of Little Rock.
Because swat teams don’t arrive at Chappaqua addresses ( accompanied by CNN cameras) and they don’t arrive at celebrities homes where Alec Baldwin lives.
No, it was with Hillary AND those in government that wanted her to win.
