Her 2016 campaign manager says she approved a plan to plant a false Russia claim with a reporter.
The Russia-Trump collusion narrative of 2016 and beyond was a dirty trick for the ages, and now we know it came from the top—candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton. That was the testimony Friday by 2016 Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook in federal court, and while this news is hardly a surprise, it’s still bracing to find her fingerprints on the political weapon.

Symptomatic of rabies, or just a froth alarm? "Hopefully"? This trial should be about getting to the truth. You can't handle the truth.
You only want Durham manipulated MSM and trial jury to somehow shine up Trump's stained junk.
Portions of the Michael Sussmann trial transcript unsealed overnight make it clear that Andrew DeFilippis violated not one but two orders from Judge Cooper to set off a media shitstorm over a tweet that Hillary didn't even have a role in.

"...Nevertheless, the jury heard it because — just minutes
after being instructed not to include the language about the FBI investigation and not to read from the tweet!! — DeFilippis (Durham team prosecutor) “accidentally” handed Robby Mook the
unredacted copy to read,
and coached him to continue to read the stuff that was redacted...
....
But DeFilippis did more than “accidentally” give Mook the unredacted tweet! He also had him read it,
which he had just been told not to do.
Worse still, the record shows that neither Mook nor Hillary would have known about this tweet. It surely had high level press involvement,
but this was presented as the words of Hillary when it was explicitly anything but.
And this is precisely what Sussmann’s team warned would happen when, in a pretrial hearing, Cooper floated reversing his past decision to exclude the tweet....
...This jury is not sequestered. It would take a great deal of diligence to avoid the shit storm this set off.
There is no way to undo the damage that this will do to the trial.
And it happened because DeFilippis ignored not one but two parts of Cooper’s order — first, that the reference to the FBI be redacted, and second, that it not be read.
....
The truth is it’s Durham’s team, not Hillary, that had the plan to set off an October Surprise
by manipulating the press all along.
Worse still, while there are legal measures to take, even then that would not undo the damage. Anything Cooper does to correct his own poor decision and DeFilippis’ worse flouting of Cooper’s orders would be blamed on him being an Obama appointment, not the law, and only further fuel the firestorm. .... Given where I think Sussmann’s team is
going to go from here, I think chances are good they get an acquittal.
But the Durham team just succeeded in a desperate bid to win this case using hearsay.
Because hearsay is all they’ve got...."
