Talk about projection. She allegedly cooked up the Russia smear to distract from her own scandal. She’s once again accusing Trump of what she’s alleged to have done. She just can’t stop. She is, even now, stuck in spreading the “vast right-wing conspiracy” mode to deflect from her scandal.
As we previously reported, Hillary Clinton ducked questions the other day about the Durham probe. A recent filing from the probe said people working for her campaign worked with a tech executive to collect “derogatory” information on Donald Trump by looking into DNS look-ups in various servers including Trump Tower and the White House. The purpose was to support a “narrative” about a Trump connection to Russia. That was on top of information that had already been alleged about intel in a CIA memo that Clinton wanted to do that to distract from the investigation into her own private server scandal that was exploding at that time.
But when she was approached by a Daily Mail reporter, she rushed as quickly as she could into the building she was entering.". . .
45 mentions of “Clinton” in the original criminal indictment and 19 mentions in the latest filing.

Hillary’s response is to attack Trump. https://t.co/cLEVumkrsk pic.twitter.com/Wdh6rbZ4vG
. . ."By commenting on it, she feeds the story more, doing herself no favors. Plus it’s never good to talk when you don’t know what legal actions might be pending and might involve you. But you notice what you don’t see her do? Deny the plot to smear Trump. What’s the explanation for the indictment of people working for her? Notice she’s silent on those questions.
"Jonathan Turley had a few things to say about Hillary’s response." . . .
*2016: William Safire justified: Hillary Clinton is a congenital liar - American Thinker "In a notorious 1996 New York Times essay, pundit William Safire famously said this of Hillary Clinton:
Americans of all political persuasions are coming to the sad realization that our First Lady – a woman of undoubted talents who was a role model for many in her generation – is a congenital liar.
Drip by drip, like Whitewater torture, the case is being made that she is compelled to mislead, and to ensnare her subordinates and friends in a web of deceit.
"Could anyone who has followed her political activities since make any sensible rebuttal to Safire's observation? As many of her critics have noted, Hillary Clinton will lie when she'd be far better served by the truth. Now here we are just days away from an election that could put this woman into the most powerful political position in the world, and apparently she's still at it.". . .
Hillary Clinton is, quite clearly, a congenital liar. But here's the sobering thought to take away from this: if she can't separate truth from lies, is she also incapable of distinguishing between honest and dishonest behavior? Her behavior as secretary of state would seem to indicate the answer is no, she can't.
Therefore, ask not "Why didn't she just come clean at the beginning?" She had good reasons to lie; she is in the longtime habit of lying; and she has never been called to account for lying herself or in suborning lying in her aides and friends.
