Well, the witch was up to her eyebrows in this. Those with a brain already knew it and today's admission just caps that.
Hillary Clinton personally approved sharing with the media a false theory linking former President Trump to Russia even though campaign officials were not “totally confident” in the accuracy of the information, the manager of her 2016 campaign testified in court Friday.
The bombshell revelation came during the cross-examination of Robby Mook, who managed Mrs. Clinton’s 2016 campaign. She lost that year’s presidential election to Mr. Trump.
While on the stand in the trial of former Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann, Mr. Mook detailed to jurors his conversation with Mrs. Clinton in the final weeks of the 2016 campaign.
“I discussed this with Hillary as well,” Mr. Mook testified. “The discussion is that ‘Hey, we have this and we want to share this with a reporter.
During his testimony, Mr. Mook also discussed giving now-debunked claims that the Trump Organization was secretly communicating with Russia’s Alfa Bank to others in the campaign. He said he spoke with campaign chairman John Podesta, senior policy adviser, now White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, and communications director Jennifer Palmieri.
Mr. Mook said Mrs. Clinton approved passing the story off to a reporter, even though they had not vetted the accuracy of the information.“Part of the point of giving it to a reporter was they could run it down further,” he said. “A reporter could vet the information and then decide to print it.”
The revelations prompted U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper to clear the jury from the room and hold a sidebar discussion with the prosecutors and defense attorneys. It is not clear what they discussed.
