Snowflakes can drop the arguments about how Hillary knew nothing about Sussmann and the release of false information to the FBI
Fake news. No smoking gun, no smoke or gun.......
Mook, earlier in questioning from the defense,
was asked whether he or anyone on the Clinton campaign approved or gave Sussmann permission to bring the allegations to the FBI, to which he said: "No."
Later, the defense further questioned Mook, asking if Hillary Clinton herself approved Sussmann going to the FBI.
"I'm not aware," Mook testified.
When asked again, he said: "I don't know…I don't know why she would."
I discussed it with Hillary as well," Mook said.
"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.
The government asked Mook if Clinton approved "the dissemination" of the data
to the media.
"She agreed," Mook testified.
Mook later said he "can't recall the exact sequence of events," when asked if he shared the idea to give the Trump-Alfa Bank allegations to the media with Clinton before or after the decision was made.
"All I remember is that she agreed with the decision," Mook testified.
Mook said the campaign was not totally confident in the legitimacy of the data,
but had hoped to give the information to a reporter who could further "run it down" to determine if it was "accurate" or "substantive."
