Gabbard’s Campaign Demands Hillary Retract Her ‘Russian Asset' Comments

How's this for a Russian asset?

Beth Baumann  "Lawyers for Rep. Tulsi Gabbard’s presidential campaign on Monday sent a letter to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton demanding Clinton retract her previous comments suggesting Gabbard is a “Russian asset.” 
"The letter accuses Clinton of defamation, saying she knew her statements about Gabbard were blatantly false, Fox News reported. 
“ 'In making the statement, you knew it was false. Congresswoman Gabbard is not a Russian asset and is not being groomed by Russia,” the letter said. “Besides your statement, no law enforcement or intelligence agencies have claimed, much less presented any evidence, that Congresswoman Gabbard is a Russian asset. This fabricated story is so facially improbable that it is actionable as defamation.”

"Last month, Clinton said Russia was actively grooming one of the 2020 Democratic presidential candidates, although she didn't come out and directly say Gabbard's name.
“ 'I’m not making any predictions, but I think they’ve got their eye on somebody who is currently in the Democratic primary and are grooming her to be the third-party candidate. "She’s the favorite of the Russians," Clinton said during an interview on the Campaign HQ podcast. "They have a bunch of sites and bots and other ways of supporting her so far. And, that’s assuming Jill Stein will give it up, which she might not because she’s also a Russian asset. Yeah, she’s a Russian asset. I mean, totally.”
"When Clinton's spokesperson was asked, point blank, if the statement was about Gabbard, the response inferred it was. “If the nesting doll fits,” the spokesperson said at the time." . . .
