Not sure if you heard the news this week, but Hillary Clinton may be in some trouble.
According to recent filings by special counsel John Durham, who’s investigating the Clinton-Trump-Russiagate rats nest, the walls may be closing in on the former Secretary of State and her 2016 campaign cronies.
“The filing relates to Mr. Durham’s September indictment of Michael Sussmann, a lawyer who represented the Clinton campaign while he worked for the Perkins Coie law firm….The indictment revealed that Mr. Sussmann worked with ‘Tech Executive-1,’ who has been identified as Rodney Joffe, formerly of Neustar Inc. The indictment says Mr. Joffe used his companies, as well as researchers at a U.S. university, to access internet data, which he used to gather information about Mr. Trump’s communications,” the Wall Street Journal reports.
“Mr. Durham says Mr. Joffe’s ‘goal’ was to create an ‘inference’ and ‘narrative’ about Mr. Trump that would ‘please certain ‘VIPs,’ referring to individuals at [Perkins Coie] and the Clinton Campaign,’” WSJ adds.
But Hillary says all that is looney tunes —just Trump and Fox News trying to mix things up.
“Trump & Fox are desperately spinning up a fake scandal to distract from his real ones. So it’s a day that ends in Y. The more his misdeeds are exposed, the more they lie. For those interested in reality, here’s a good debunking of their latest nonsense,” Clinton said on Twitter.
She also shared a Vanity Fair article that, she must feel, clears her of all suspicion.
A Vanity Fair article.
Mr. Trump said in a Sunday statement: “What Hillary Clinton and the Radical Left Democrats did with respect to spying on a President of the United States, even while in office, is a far bigger crime than Watergate.”
And he may be right. But Hillary, specifically, hasn’t been charged with anything —yet.
“Mrs. Clinton was not accused of any crime in the filing, which was related to the prosecution of lawyer Michael Sussmann on a charge of making a false statement to the FBI at a 2016 meeting about the Trump organization and a Russian bank,” the Washington Times reports.
But one thing is clear —this is just the beginning.
“Mr. Durham’s revelations take the 2016 collusion scam well beyond the Steele dossier, which was based on the unvetted claims of a Russian emigre working in Washington. Those claims and the Sussmann assertions were channeled to the highest levels of the government via contacts at the FBI, CIA and State Department. They became fodder for secret and unjustified warrants against a former Trump campaign official, and later for Robert Mueller’s two-year mole hunt that turned up no evidence of collusion,” the WSJ reports.
So how much damage was done? The answer is immeasurable —immeasurable damage to our democracy and America’s most trusted institutions.
