Hillary defends Trump dossier, makes dubious claims about its release

 

Washington Times:

Hillary Clinton says the infamous Democratic-financed, Russian-sourced dossier did not “come out” during the election.

That is not the full story.

“From my perspective, it didn’t come out before the election as we all know,” Mrs. Clinton said Wednesday night on Comedy Central’s The Daily Show. She defended the dossier as standard opposition research.

But some of the dossier’s more scandalous allegations did surface in the Washington news media before Nov. 8. And her campaign helped spread them around to bash candidate Donald Trump. The campaign used Twitter and TV surrogates to say the information was proof he and Russia were in cahoots to defeat Mrs. Clinton.

The dossier was not identified as the source. Whether the dossier hard copy circulated in the campaign is not known.

Mrs. Clinton Wednesday night acknowledged the dossier was financed by her campaign and the Democratic National Committee.

The money first flowed through her general counsel, Marc Elias, to Fusion GPS and then to dossier writer Christopher Steele in London who used the money to pay Kremlin spies and officials. The full dossier did not go public until BuzzFeed published it in January.

Here is how the Clinton campaign did in fact use dossier information, which has been dubbed fiction and a disgrace by President Trump and his men.

  1. “Here is how the Clinton campaign did in fact use dossier information, which has been dubbed fiction and a disgrace by President Trump and his men.”

    Ha ha, good one, Rowan. All the President’s Men. I see what you did there.

  2. “From my perspective, it didn’t come out before the election as we all know,”

    Why so wordy, Hilliar? What is all that crap around “it didn’t come out before the election”? None of it helps to make it true.

  3. So now she down to appearing on the daily dump with Rowan the Affirmative Action Host? Sessions better get off his ass and investigate the Clinton Foundation of Trump needs to fire him and replace him with an out of town effective DA.

  4. Why aren’t people claiming that Clinton conspired with the Russians to influence the election since her campaign paid some Ruskies for fabricated dirt on Trump and HillRod knew about it? If I were Clinton, I would not go there.
