Mook also said she did so even though the campaign wasn't certain about the veracity of the allegations linking Trump to Russian Alfa Bank.

who is charged in special counsel John Durham's probe with lying to the FBI during the Trump-Russia investigation after he brought the FBI unverified evidence concerning Trump and Alfa Bank. The scope of the trial is narrow, focusing on whether or not Sussmann, whose law firm represented Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign, was acting on behalf of a client.

Clinton was briefed about the decision to go to the press with the allegations in the fall of 2016, and according to Mook,"she thought we made the right decision." Slate's article on the purported link between Alfa Bank and Trump ran on Oct. 31, 2016, days before Election Day. When asked by prosecutor Andrew DeFilippis if he doubted the credibility of the allegations when the article ran, Mook said he was"not a cyber expert' and thought that the article gave the claims more credibility. Mook testified that going to the FBI did not seem like"an effective way" of getting the information to the public.

Mook testified it was"malpractice" not to conduct opposition research, detailing that opposition research on Trump was very complicated."He was incredibly litigious, so there was a lot of work to be done around different lawsuits that he filed or had been filed against him." Sussmann's law firm Perkins Coie played a role in this work, according to Mook.

If Obama had been white and Hillary a man thing's would have been different. Joe won because there was a monster in the white house that only wanted to destroy it.

Of course Hillary did...it was a plan of disinformation that she planned with Fusion GPS...follow the money and it leads to Fusion GPS.

“Unverified” is an odd term to use for fabricated. Court documents show Clinton campaign operatives fabricated the alleged link. Further indictments are expected.

I realize that you have no clue what investigative reporting is, but that’s was what was suppose to happen.

DEMOCRATS! clearly & loudly shout it from the rooftops & let it be known that everyone including INDEPENDENTS & DISHEARTENED REPUBLICANS must come together this 2022 midterm & VOTE BLUE (as if your life depended on it) & 'defeat those damn lying Trumplicans' & SAVE OUR DEMOCRACY!

Save our Democracy! VOTE BLUE!

Who were the groups that attacked Congress on January 6th Trump referred to as 'very special?' The Proud Boys, Boogaloo Boys, Three Percenters, Militiamen, Oath Keepers, White supremacists, NSC-131, No White Guilt, members of QAnon, et al. Why were they 'very special,' Trump?

What about how Trump had over 16 private secret meetings with Putin? Is it too hard to imagine at some point Putin could've offered let say two or three billion dollars to Trump to undermine our democracy? And, given Trump is a grifter is there any doubt Trump would've accepted!

Was it Trump's original intent all along to overthrow the US gov't? Trump tried to dissolve NATO, hollow out the State Department, weaponize the Justice Department & tried to pressure Pence to overturn a free & fair presidential election. This is about more than any voter fraud!

January 6, 2021: Trump 'LEAD' an insurrection against the United States of America, a date which will live in infamy, remember! And, never ever forget how Trump's Orwellian face was ablaze on large video displays-- showing his abject failure & weakness!

(They knew it was a lie)

Hillary and her campaign knew it was deceitful. Truth is irrelevant as long as you have plausible deniability.

What a stretch. I can't wait for Republicans to pass a law that prosecutes political liars.
