Hillary Fails in Media Counteroffensive

No one believes her.

Hillary Clinton is employing two tired tricks to respond to John Durham. Change the subject and blame the nessenger.

She wants the subject changed to Trump’s misdoings in 2016. One problem, there are none that pertain to this case. She wants to blame FNC and Trump. Another problem, neither controls John Durham. Thus, her strategy is sad and useless.

FNC: “Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton reacted to Special Counsel John Durham’s latest filing, criticizing former President Trump and Fox News for ‘desperately spinning up a fake scandal to distract from his real ones.’

The former 2016 Democratic presidential nominee tweeted Wednesday, in her first public statement reacting to Durham’s Feb. 11 federal court filing, which Fox News first reported Saturday.

At this point, Durham has indicted three people as part of his investigation: Sussmann in September 2021, Igor Danchenko on Nov. 4, 2021 and Kevin Clinesmith in August 2020. Durham’s filing alleged a ‘Tech Executive-1,’ now identified as Rodney Joffe, and his associates, including a lawyer for her presidential campaign, Michael Sussmann, ‘exploited’ internet traffic pertaining to a ‘particular healthcare provider,’ Trump Tower, Trump’s Central Park West apartment building, and the Executive Office of the President of the United States in order to ‘establish ‘an inference’ and ‘narrative’ to then bring to federal government agencies tying Trump to Russia.”

Hillary says, “Trump & Fox are desperately spinning up a fake scandal to distract from his real ones,” Clinton tweeted Wednesday. So it’s a day that ends in Y…The more his misdeeds are exposed, the more they lie,” Clinton tweeted a piece published in Vanity Fair “for those interested in reality,” which she says is a “good debunking of their latest nonsense.” Uh, no. It’s just leftists circling the wagons. Hillary could sodomize a goat, at noon, on the steps of the Supreme Court, and Vanity Fair would call it “animal care.”

 

Meanwhile, Sussmann and his lawyers, on Monday demanded that the court “strike” the “factual background” section of Durham’s filing, claiming it will “taint the jury pool.” Yup, get rid of those pesky facts. Can’t have voters or jurors knowing about those, now can we? But, too late. Elvis has left the building.
