Hillary Clinton OK'd sharing Trump-Russia 'data,' campaign manager says
|
[NYPOST] Crooked Hillary Clinton
 ...former first lady, former secretary of state, former presidential candidate, Conqueror of Benghazi, Heroine of Tuzla, formerly described by her supporters as the smartest woman in the world, usually described by the rest of us as The Thing That Wouldn't Go Away. Politix is not one of her talents, but it's something she keeps trying to do...
personally authorized her campaign to share since-debunked computer data linking Donald Trump
...dictatorial for repealing some (but not all) of the diktats of his predecessor, misogynistic because he likes pretty girls, homophobic because he doesn't think gender bending should be mandatory, truly a man for all seasons......
with a Russian bank, according to bombshell testimony from her 2016 campaign manager Friday.
Robby Mook, testifying as a witness in defense of former Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann, told jurors that he discussed the matter with the Democratic nominee sometime in the fall of 2016, shortly before the presidential election.
Mook described his end of the conversation with Clinton as him telling her, "Hey, we have this and we want to share it with a news hound."
"She agreed to that," he said.
Mook also acknowledged that the campaign hadn’t verified the accuracy of the data at the time.
"Part of the point of giving it to a news hound was they could run it down further," he said.
"A news hound could vet the information and then decide to print it."
The stunning disclosures came during cross-examination of Mook by a member of special counsel John Durham’s team in Washington, DC, federal court and prompted Judge Christopher Cooper to order the jury out of the courtroom so he could hold a sidebar discussion with both sides.
Sussmann, 57, is charged with lying to the FBI in September 2016 by denying that he was working on behalf of the campaign when he turned over data and three "white papers" that purportedly showed a secret back channel between a Trump Organization server and Russia’s Alfa-Bank.
After the sidebar, Cooper announced that he might allow prosecutor Andrew DeFilippis to introduce into evidence a tweet posted by Clinton on Oct. 31, 2016, shortly after the left-wing Slate website published a report about the Alfa-Bank data.
"Computer scientists have apparently uncovered a covert server linking the Trump Organization to a Russian-based bank," wrote Clinton, who attached a statement from Jake Sullivan — now President Biden’s national security adviser — who said, "This secret hotline may be the key to unlocking the mystery of Trump’s ties to Russia."
Last month, Cooper ruled that the tweet was inadmissible "hearsay" evidence and "likely duplicative of other evidence" that Durham would use against Sussmann.
But in the wake of Mook’s testimony, the judge said he’d reconsider that decision if the prosecution established a proper foundation to introduce the tweet.
Hillary Clinton APPROVED sharing debunked 'covert' communications between Trump and Kremlin-backed bank with press - even though she wasn't 'totally confident' in the legitimacy, ex-campaign manager tells Durham trial
[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] - Robby Mook testified on Friday about the campaign meeting on the data
- He told the trial of Michael Sussman that he was first briefed about Alfa Bank by campaign general counsel Marc Elias
- Mook also said he discussed the data with Jake Sullivan and John Podesta
- He admitted the campaign wasn't 'totally confident' in the 'legitimacy of the data,' but was hoping a reporter could get it confirmed
- Sussman is accused of lying to the FBI about the fact that he was representing Clinton's 2016 campaign interests and that of another client
