We have all been waiting to get something, anything, that would implicate Hillary Clinton in some type of wrongdoing.
It now appears that “something” came via the Michael Sussmann trial via the Durham probe.
Former Clinton Campaign Manager Robby Mook has just sold Hillary right down the river.
We Got Her
Hillary spread disinformation to try to manipulate a presidential election.
According to Mook, even though the campaign was not “totally confident” in the information it had regarding the link between Trump and the Russian Alfa Bank, she gave the thumbs up to put out the information to the public.
On Thursday, former FBI General Counsel James Baker confirmed that the FBI found “there was nothing there.”
Mook stated, “I discussed it with Hillary as well.”
He continued, “I don’t remember the substance of the conversation, but notionally, the discussion was, hey, we have this and we want to share it with a reporter.”
When Mook was asked if Hillary approved “the dissemination” of the information to the media, he testified, “She agreed.”
The only real dagger we did not get here is that Mook could not confirm or deny if Hillary was behind Sussmann going to the FBI.
Regardless, this is the first direct link between Hillary and the bogus report, as her tweet regarding the information has already been dismissed as hearsay.
Now that Mook has given this testimony, however, prosecutors can have Hillary’s tweet submitted as evidence.
Even though the request has been previously denied based on hearsay, Mook’s testimony removes that tag from the evidence…

Clinton also stated, “This could be the most direct link yet between Donald Trump and Moscow. Computer scientists have uncovered a covert server linking the Trump Organization to a Russian-based bank.”
This was, in fact, Hillary’s “October Surprise” for the Trump campaign.
The fact that Judge Cooper, an Obama-appointed judge, allowed that tweet back into evidence is a good thing.
Suddenly, Sussmann is now just a cog, more than likely no longer the investigation’s ultimate target.
I will not deny that I am being overly optimistic here, but I am starting to see some breadcrumbs being laid to lead us directly to Hillary Clinton.
