What Did Clinton Know and When Did She Know It? The Russiagate Evidence Builds
Above, a largely overlooked moment in the campaign film "Hillary," when the candidate told running mate Tim Kaine of “scratching hard” to expose Donald Trump's “weird connections” to Russia. Prosecutor John Durham is zeroing in on her 2016 campaign's role in promoting the collusion hoax.
What Did Clinton Know and When Did She Know It? The Russiagate Evidence Builds
Above, a largely overlooked moment in the campaign film
As indictments and new court filings indicate that Special Counsel John Durham is investigating Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign for feeding false reports to the FBI to incriminate Donald Trump and his advisers as Kremlin agents, Clinton’s role in the burgeoning scandal remains elusive. What did she know and when did she know it?
Top officials involved in her campaign have repeatedly claimed, some under oath, that they and the candidate were unaware of the foundation of their disinformation campaign: the 35-page collection of now debunked claims of Trump/Russia collusion known as the Steele dossier. Even though her campaign helped pay for the dossier, they claim she only read it after BuzzFeed News published it in 2017.
But court documents, behind-the-scenes video footage and recently surfaced evidence reveal that Clinton and her top campaign advisers were much more involved in the more than $1 million operation to dredge up dirt on Trump and Russia than they have let on.

Former Bill Clinton political strategist Doug Schoen said it stretches credulity to suggest that top officials in the Clinton camp, including the candidate herself, weren’t fully aware of the research their campaign attorney was billing them for.
“With more than 380 payments from the Clinton campaign and the DNC being made to Perkins Coie, it is seemingly impossible that the candidate herself would not have direct knowledge of the purpose of those payments or any earmarks being made, especially those for Fusion GPS,” Schoen said.

Among those Americans aware of the Durham probe, fully 60% think the special counsel should question Clinton about her role in the dossier and other campaign foul play, according to a recent national poll by TechnoMetrica Institute of Policy and Politics. Broken down by political affiliation, 80% of Republicans, 44% of Democrats and 74% of independent voters agree that Clinton should be interviewed by investigators.
What happened more than five years ago may have renewed relevance: Some Democratic strategists speculate that Clinton is eyeing another run at the White House. As Vice President Kamala Harris’ popularity wanes and her shot at becoming the first female president slips, they say Clinton may see an opening.
“I will never be out of the game of politics,” Clinton told ABC's “Good Morning America” in October.
Commentary:
Thanks to Mr. Sperry for continuing the investigative reporting on Russia-Gate and the Dunham investigation.
Each day that goes by we see more and more that Russia-Gate is the most insidious political conspiracy in American history.
Imagine the outgoing party essentially used the state intelligence and law enforcement organizations to plant pieces of bogus evidence in an attempt to bring down the incoming president. It was a conspiracy, abuse of power and massive scandal. As some have said here Hillary Clinton however is too big to fail. If she didn't get kicked to the political curb for getting caught red handed cheating on a debate, she won't get touched by this either.
The question most raised is will people like Sussman, Elias, and Sullivan pay the piper for their illegal acts?
Indeed, this is all frustrating, too be sure. The optimistic part of me hopes that the timing of Durham's investigation is such that it will be concluded after the midterms, when there are people in power who might actually do something about it.
Although I'm doubtful if anyone of consequence will be convicted for their political and seditious wrongdoings, other than low hanging individuals. Unfortunately, the true political felons will as usual will walk away Scot Free.
