Russiagate or Hillarygate?

According to an insider account, the Clinton team, put together the Russia Gate narrative within 24 hours of her defeat. The Clinton account explained that Russian hacking and election meddling caused her unexpected loss. Her opponent, Donald Trump, was a puppet of Putin. Trump, they said, "encourages espionage against our people." The scurrilous Trump dossier, prepared by a London opposition research firm, Orbis, and paid for by unidentified Democrat donors, formed a key part of the Clinton narrative: Trump's sexual and business escapades in Russia had made him a hostage of the Kremlin, ready to do its bidding. That was Hillary's way to say that Trump is really not President of the United States-a siren call adopted by the Democratic party and media.

Hillary and the Orbis Dossier

The most under covered story of Russia Gate is the interconnection between the Clinton campaign, an unregistered foreign agent of Russia headquartered in DC (Fusion GPS), and the Christopher Steele Orbis dossier. This connection has raised the question of whether Kremlin prepared the dossier as part of a disinformation campaign to sow chaos in the US political system. If ordered and paid for by Hillary Clinton associates, Russia Gate is turned on its head as collusion between Clinton operatives (not Trump's) and Russian intelligence. Russia Gate becomes Hillary Gate.

Not sure what to make of this yet, but .

This is yet another example of why CNN (and others) are Fake News.

If you take a CNN headline (Trump colludes with Russia) and based on no evidence at all simply guess the opposite (Hillary colludes with Russia) you are more likely to have your views vindicated six months later than the CNN headline. Again, take a CNN headline, assume the opposite, and you've a really good shot at being correct - that is how horrible these people are at their jobs.

According to an insider account,

It has anonymous sources so it must be true!

It has anonymous sources so it must be true!

That apparently comes from Shattered: Inside Hillary Clinton's Doomed Campaign, so perhaps it's not so anonymous.

"Critics are calling it 'the feel-good story of the decade'..."

I'm considering taking a spin through it anyway.

"Critics are calling it 'the feel-good story of the decade'..."

I've finally gotten around to reading this. It is, overall, a transparent attempt to elicit sympathy for HRC. The authors clearly had access to everyone from Obama and Hillary on down - it contains their personal thoughts. It is also clear that the Russia conspiracy was first broached as an October surprise which got released nearly simultaneously with the Access Hollywood tape and the Wikileaks dump of DNC emails. The authors clearly assume that Wikileaks is practically an arm of the Russian government. The Russia conspiracy angle didn't get much traction because it was overshadowed by other things; clearly, neither side took it all that seriously. It next came up in the immediate aftermath of Election Day as a convenient excuse for why Hillary lost, and the losers have been pushing it for all they're worth since.

One of the principals of the Clinton campaign, John Podesta, was a board member of a green energy firm that suddenly saw an infusion of Russian cash -- purportedly in an attempt to sway Podesta.

Congressional science and energy committees and subcommittees are currently interested in whether the Russians funneled cash into American anti-fracking groups such as Sea Change on the expectation that they might help derail American energy exploration and production.

The Russian government has lost nearly half its oil revenue because of the innovative American ability to frack gas and oil, which has crashed world energy prices. Russian President Vladimir Putin apparently will do anything to see it stopped.

Early in 2016, investigative journalists reported that Russian interests donated to the Clinton Foundation and offered generous speaking honoraria to former president Bill Clinton, apparently in hopes of gaining leverage with then-Secretary of State and likely future presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. In one controversial deal, the U.S. government approved sales of a large amount of North American uranium deposits to Russian interests.

The list of Russian capers, collusions and conspiracies could be expanded, but the picture is clear: Putin's Russia is in bad shape. It is economically weak and eager to do anything possible to hurt the U.S. -- largely by using a fake-news disinformation campaign, spreading Kremlin cash, and playing a gullible and often unprofessional U.S. media eager to find a scandalous Russian under every American bed.

So far the Russian disinformation program has worked brilliantly.

WASHINGTON - The U.S. Postal Service engaged in widespread violations of federal law by pressuring managers to approve letter carriers taking time off last fall to campaign for Hillary Clinton and other union-backed Democrats, investigators said Wednesday.
High-level postal officials had for years granted employees requests for unpaid leave, leading last year to an "institutional bias" in favor of Clinton and other Democrats endorsed by the National Association of Letter Carriers, one of the largest postal unions. The Postal Service's Office of Special Counsel and inspector general found that the agency violated the Hatch Act, which restricts federal employees from working for or against a political candidate or party during election season.
