Hillary Clinton’s former campaign spokesman said Clinton “may have known” that her campaign was behind the funding of the infamous dossier linking the Trump campaign to the Russian government.
Brian Fallon, who is now a CNN contributor, said Wednesday that he did not know that they were funding the dossier prior to a bombshell report by the Washington Post. However, he said he did not know if Hillary Clinton was aware that her campaign and the DNC were paying Fusion GPS to produce the document.
“I don’t know,” Fallon said when asked if Hillary Clinton knew about the funding. “I haven’t spoken to her.”
CNN’s Poppy Harlow pressed onward, asking, “shouldn’t she have known?”
“Well, I mean, she may have known,” he clarified. “The degree of exactly what she knew is beyond my knowledge… I mean she may or may not have been aware of that level of detail. I don’t know.”

I’ll just bet that if it involved spending money (money she could have been spending on herself), she knew about it.
They spent like $9 million on it. I guarantee that Hillary knew.
@Man in PA: Son of a I could have made up a better story than that for 9M!
If I’d known the Clinton campaign and DNC were going to pick up funding the Trump investigation, I would have donated more money. The GOP itself seems to have had no interest whatsoever in vetting their own candidate, though if any candidate ever needed it, it would certainly be Donald Trump.
Why won’t he release his tax returns, as promised? What was Donald Jr referring to when he said at a 2008 real estate conference that “Russians make up a pretty disproportionate cross section of a lot of our assets?”
Have you forgotten the odd Trump Tower meeting, attended by Trump Jr and Jared Kushner, Paul Manafort, Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya, Russian lobbyist and former intelligence officer Rinat Akhmetshin, publicist Rob Goldstone, a Russian translator, and Ike Kaveladze? That last guy has been connected with an illegal $1 billion Russian money laundering operation.
A person would have to be thick as a brick to believe nothing was going on there but a meeting to “get some dirt on Hillary Clinton.” And if that really was the deal—which seems highly unlikely—how is that OK when the DNC paying for opposition research somehow isn’t?
@Greg:#4 Sometimes actually think you are serious, what was it about Obamas background that wasnt sealed?
Does the DNC have a new requirement that the President and Flotus cant maintain their license to practice law?
@Greg:
So, it’s OK to collude with the Russians and fabricate lies if liberals do it? I suspected that was your position, but thanks for clarifying it.
Pivot, pivot, pivot, pivot.
Where they discussed… nothing? And then the meeting ended. No paying Russians to create lies, no selling of uranium, no collusion. Nothing. Nada. Those involved TESTIFIED, as in NOT hiding behind the 5th, like liberals do.
They approached the Trump campaign, as opposed to the Clinton campaign seeking out Russians and PAYING them to generate false stories against Trump, as Fusion has done many times before against others the left has deemed enemies.
Face it Greg… not only has your wet dream of finding substantiation to your accusations of imaginary collusion between Trump and the Russians, but the investigations turned up HILLARY’S collusion and PAYMENTS to the Russians to try and influence the election. Gee, that’s a tough pill to swallow. Tough break.
Awww….

You folks seem to have reset the speed of the bullshit recycling machine to HIGH.
The Obamas’ Law Licenses
@Deplorable Me, #6:
Yeah, right. “We’re the Russians. We want to set up a secret meeting to tell you all about how we bribed Hillary Clinton to gain control of your nation’s uranium resources.”
@Greg: No, that sounds more like what the FBI would say, if they were not being held back by corrupt liberal Attorney’s General.
@Greg: #7 I’m sure continuing education and the terribly high fees held them back. What about those sealed records how well could he be vetted?
As opposed to someone who lived in the spotlight.
Your logic is non-sense, you must be either totally insane or joking. Perhaps you get your opinion from Whoopie and the Veiw.
