Hillary Clinton DEFENDS paying for the Steele dossier into Trump and says it's not the same as working with Russians to influence the election

Ah geeze. This old bit of baggage thinks we’re as stupid as she is corrupt.

Hillary Clinton DEFENDS paying for the Steele dossier into Trump and says it's not the same as working with Russians to influence the election

The former presidential candidate told Trevor Noah on the Daily Show that 'of course' there is a difference between paying for that information and colluding with Russia to influence the 2016 election.

Clinton said the dossier was simply 'opposition research' and pointed to the fact that it was not public knowledge during the election.

*

It is claimed that Barack Obama's campaign organization, Obama For America, paid Perkins Coie almost $1million to fund the research.

Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the disgraced former DNC chair, has also denied any knowledge of how the dossier was put together.

Someone likened that dress in your picture to a shower curtain. She certainly does wear some really weird stuff. I think it is her age and girth. She is trying to hide it.

So much for hiding it.

On the other hand, this was my favorite Hillary look of 2016.

But not in the in the poll. Good grief. This woman has millions of dollars to shop for clothes that flatter her, but she finds the most outrageous things to wear.

People are wondering what that bump is on the right of the picture? Some say it possibly a catheter bag.

Orange is not a good color for her.

Will she ever quit talking about how Russia stole the election from her? Looks like she has to work hard to find people who haven't heard her spiel yet.

If ICE were hunting down Trump’s critics, that would be bad but would make sense.
But ICE is hunting down Israel’s critics.

Clinton said the dossier was simply 'opposition research' and pointed to the fact that it was not public knowledge during the election.

True, it was a confidential dossier of untrue and half true smears compiled in tandem by a Republican hack shop and a former Brit spook on Hillary's payroll that the Obama FBI presented in secret to the FISA court as verified evidence of Trump's collusion with a foreign power in order to justify government surveillance of a Presidential candidate less than three months out from election day.

But its confidentiality is why it was valuable.

Keeping the dossier confidential makes it easier for Hillary and Obama to con the FISA court into giving them a warrant to spy on Trump because:

1) secret evidence is not subject to public scrutiny and debunking and,

2) the court has no idea that this is simply 'opposition research' by one of the political candidates and not actually vetted intelligence.

If the dossier had been public, it's far less likely Her & Barry get their warrant.

The current working assumption appears to be that our Shroedinger's Cat system is still alive. But what if we all suspect it's not, and the real problem is we just can't bring ourselves to open the box?

Cheating from the inside out, is not the same as cheating from the outside in. They are totally and completely different! Can't you see? /s

The Steele dossier was used for FISA warrants, to illegally spy on a campaign. Dems for Hillary did that, not the Russians. Opposition research that is made up lies is not opposition research. It is character assassination.

A hundred thousand thrown off voter rolls in N.Y.C., as executed by the democrats, not the Russians. A million pink provisional ballots (for the same problem) in L.A. Co., was also executed by the democrats, not the Russians. Lots more instances of that and other 'tricks' all over.

We, the former Democrats had Debbie Wassername stuck up their arses and lost a thousand seats because of Hillary, not the Russians. It was a deal she obviously made to give up the nom, just like the SOS gig. They were both in there, I guarantee it.

Enemies acquired top secret special access information from the U.S. from Hillary. Hillary and the Dembots characterize the mis-handling and losing of classified intelligence as, "oh the emails". What maroons! Great work there Commander in Chief, you really made sure our state secrets were safe and secure. Good job.

The Clintons moved the democratic party from for the workers to for Wall St., not the Russians. And then told us we were not Democrats for not following them into their shithole. Obama followed their model for the money and power obviously. And told us to vote for more, with Hillary. Or else. His feelies will be hurt. As if he kept his word on hope and change. Does it dawn on him that if there had been ANY change WHATSOEVER
for the better for the people, we would not have Trump? The Dems would have won. No matter who they ran. If only they could have done ONE thing, for the people. Change one thing. But nooooooo. Tooooooo simple!

I was born at night, but it weren't last night. My mama had two dumb boys, perhaps you've confused me with one of my brothers.

Hillary and her war-mongers, the Wall St. MIC Dems are what has destroyed their party and the country more than anything, more than Russia. They are the threat, not Russia. How can you talk about hacked elections for two years without bringing up paper contable ballots!?!?!?!?! Or automatic registration on demand and open primaries.

Our problem is not Russia, it is Hillary. And all her type: the Comeys, Clappers, Brennans, Boltons, Obamas, Bushes and other shrubs, the Neera's and Podestas, and all the Bezos bozos, like Zuckerberg, Eric Google/youtube Schimdt, etc. ad. inf. All in it for the power and money, not the people, not society, not America, not advancing civilization. And they think we are fooled, or call us names, like Russians. Their actions are what put the rotten yam in the oval office.

sorry to go off.... you should not get me goin' Wink

during her little chat with Noah.

Clinton is facing an investigation by the Federal Elections Commission over the dossier, after the Campaign Legal Center alleged she funneled money meant for 'legal services' into opposition research instead.

Hearsay is not admissible in court and the FBI should never have been able to use it to get a FISA warrant to spy on Trump because Steele didn't actually 'dig up the dirt' that's in the dossier. He spoke to people in Russia by phone and that was after Sydney Blluementhol told Steele who to call. Has any of the information in it even been verified? Comey stated that it hadn't been and that was after Trump became president. Nope. No warrant should have been granted. IMO.

The dossier circulated in Washington last year and was turned over to the FBI for its review. It contends that Russia was engaged in a long-standing effort to aid Trump and had amassed compromising information about the Republican.

I'm tired of hearing about Russia this and Russia that when we have been given no evidence that Russia did anything that Israel hasn't been doing for how many years?

But ICE is hunting down Israel’s critics.

She seems of late making a great show of giving speeches and being visible. Or I wonder if she is coming back to crush any leftist insurgency in the democratic party.

$95 thousand dollars to midterm ‘Democratic’ candidates. She’s using money donated to her PAC and she’s ‘raising’ money for these candidates. The media is trying to make it sound like it’s money out of her own pocket.
