She is one evil, nasty individual. A true harpy.

There’s always been a kind of paranoid streak in American politics,” former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton told Jennifer Senior at The Atlantic Festival recently. “But it never was given such voice, such a platform, or had so much money behind it until we saw the rise of the right-wing radio voices like Rush Limbaugh, and we saw the rise of Fox News. And then, of course, the Internet just put it on steroids.”
It’s true, no doubt, that democratized media exacerbates the worst (and best) of human tendencies. Yet, it is quite jarring to hear this complaint coming from a person whose operatives were likely involved in birtherism and later were the driving force behind the Russian “collusion” hoax — two of modern political history’s most corrosive conspiracy theories
Even as Hillary was going on about the devastating role that paranoia plays in our political interactions, Senior somehow forgot to ask her a single question about an ongoing investigation by Special Counsel John Durham into her campaign’s role in concocting an oppo file and creating a narrative that the 2016 election was stolen by Putin. The week of the interview, Durham was reportedly handing down a new set of subpoenas on a law firm with ties to Clinton’s 2016 campaign. Last month, Hillary’s former lawyer Michael Sussmann was indicted for allegedly giving false statements to the FBI in connection to a Clinton-campaign deception that engulfed nearly the entire political world for nearly five years. There has now been one more indictment for allegedly lying about Russian “collusion” in 2016 than there was for any criminal conspiracy tied to the election. Has anyone even asked Hillary about these indictments?
Even if Clinton was kept in the dark about the oppo file that was filled with half-baked lies and unverified bar talk — and being kept in the dark is the excuse she’s heavily leaned on her entire scandal-ridden career — she wasn’t merely an innocent bystander, looking on while dirty tricksters damaged trust in the system for political gain. In 2019, for example, Clinton claimed that Donald Trump was an “illegitimate president,” one who “knows” that the 2016 election was stolen. Clinton suggested that Putin had kompromat on Trump, without ever offering any evidence. Of course, Democrats argued, preemptively, that 2020 would was as good as stolen if Trump won again. At one point, over 60 percent of Democrats believed that Russians had not only bought a smattering of Facebook ads to mislead gullible voters but also tampered with real-live vote totals.
...
Hillary can’t grouse about Republicans injecting “doubt” and causing “a loss of confidence” in our system and then complain about losing the “popular vote,” which “the system” unambiguously rejects as a means of electing a president. Certainly she’s in no moral position to lament the rise of paranoia in American politics when two of the most popular made-up conspiracies of the age lead right back to her.

It was bad enough that Obama the noob who should have been fetching her coffee stole her turn then Trump publicly humiliated her.
