“I think it’s going to be the same as 2016,” Clinton said. “I’m going to show you in these flashing videos that appear and then disappear and they’re on the dark web and nobody can find them, but you’re going to see them and you’re going to see that person doing these horrible things.”
Yep, now it’s the fault of those dark Interwebs! As easy as it is to join the massive dog pile on Hillary’s mental state, the Conservasphere largely ignored the more interesting point from the interview featuring Hillary’s attack on Tuslsi:
Clinton then flat-out labeled Stein a “Russian asset.”
“And that’s assuming Jill Stein will give it up, which she might not because she’s also a Russian asset,” Clinton said. “Yeah, she’s a Russian asset — I mean, totally. They know they can’t win without a third-party candidate. So I don’t know who it’s going to be, but I will guarantee you they will have a vigorous third-party challenge in the key states that they most needed.”
A bit indirect, but Excellent point! To be clear, I don’t believe that Jill Stein is a supporter of the Russians. But it doesn’t take a jet fuel genius to see why the Russians would support the Greens here in the US:
“Documents that the American social media companies produced for the Committee confirmed that Russian agents were exploiting American social media platforms in an effort to disrupt domestic energy markets, suppress research and development of fossil-fuels, and stymie efforts to expand the use of natural gas,” explains the report, headlined “Russian Attempts to Influence U.S. Domestic Energy Markets by Exploiting Social Media.”
Among other findings, congressional investigators uncovered almost 10,000 social media posts or tweets regarding U.S. energy policy or an energy-related event across three of the largest online platforms. That propaganda came through almost 4,500 separate accounts linked back to the Kremlin, the report found.
Ah, but let’s not just blame those pesky Russian Bots! How about if we follow the money trail:
In July 2014, the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee released a report describing how a Bermuda-based company, Klein Ltd., “was set up for the sole purpose of funneling anonymous donations to Sea Change.”
Bermuda law permits Klein Ltd. to conceal foreign sources of funding, the report explains.
“It appears that Klein exists on paper only, as it does not have an internet presence, and was set up for the sole purpose of funneling anonymous donations to Sea Change,” the report says.
Subsequent investigations building on the findings of the Senate committee—including that of the Washington-based Environmental Policy Alliance—established a connection between Wakefield Quin, the law firm that set up Klein, and top Kremlin officials, including Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Lawyers and others at Wakefield Quin have been associated with Russian energy companies and worked with Leonid Reiman, a former Russian minister of telecommunications and longtime Putin ally, these investigations found.
But hey, don’t trust the rants of some random blogger like me. Let’s hear from who might be the foremost expert on how easy it is for American politicians to be corrupted by Russian money:
We [the State Department and the U.S. government] were up against Russia pushing oligarchs and others to buy media. We were even up against phony environmental groups, and I’m a big environmentalist, but these were funded by the Russians to stand up against any effort, ‘Oh that pipeline, that fracking, that whatever will be a problem for you,’ and a lot of that money supporting that effort was coming from Russia.
And who is this mystery sage who gave this brilliant insight – none other than Hillary Clinton herself, back in October 2016! So for however much insanity may come from the mouth of this retired criminal, let’s give credit to the stopped clock for being right twice a day!
Trump has turned American diplomacy into a cash scheme based on quid-pro-quo, said the woman whose slush fund took over $10 million from the Saudis, $150M from Russia, $1M from UAE, and $1M from Qatar while she was at State. https://t.co/dl7hH4mk03
