Hillary Clinton APPROVED plan to share Trump-Russia banking communications, says campaign manager

Former Hillary Clinton campaign manager Robbie Mook told the court on Friday that he had signed to share the withdrawn allegations with Donald Trump-backed media and Kremlin-backed Alpha Bank ahead of the 2016 election.

Muk said at the trial of Michael Samasani, the first to be charged by special lawyer John Durham in the Russian-born investigation, that Mark Elias, the campaign’s general counsel, first told him about Alpha Bank.

He said he also discussed with then-senior adviser Jake Sullivan, now the White House national security adviser, and campaign chairman John Podesta whether to share the information with a reporter.

“I also discussed this with Hillary,” Mook told the court. He also acknowledged that the campaign was not “completely certain of the legitimacy of the data”, but expected a reporter to follow it and determine whether it was “accurate” or “substantial”.

“I don’t remember the essence of the conversation, but it was probably an argument. Hey, we have it and we want to share it with the journalist,” Mook said.

They decided to share this with the journalist after the meeting, he testified.

“I remember he was a member of our press team,” Mook said. “We give the employee the authority to share it with the media.”

Former Hillary Clinton campaign manager Robbie Mook told the court on Friday that he had signed a denial of the allegations with Donald Trump-backed media and Kremlin-backed Alpha Bank ahead of the 2016 election.

The court also saw Hillary’s infamous October 31, 2016: “Apparently, computer scientists have discovered a hidden server linking the Trump organization to a Russian-based bank.”

He added a statement by Jake Sullivan titled “Revealing Trump’s Secret Line of Communication with Russia”.

Susman is accused of lying to the FBI that he represented the interests of the Clinton campaign in 2016 and the interests of another client, although the campaign says it never condoned Susman’s actions.

James Baker was a consultant to the FBI in September 2016 when Susman scheduled a meeting to provide computer data that he said showed a potentially secret channel of communication between Alfa Bank and the Trump Organization.

Susman is accused of deceiving Baker during the meeting by saying that he did not provide computer data on behalf of a specific client.

Prosecutors allege that Saman was not prepared to comment on Clinton because he assumed the FBI would have found the information less credible had it believed it was made with partisan intent.

Susman’s indictment was initiated by John Durham, a prosecutor who was appointed special adviser during the Trump administration to investigate possible government wrongdoing in the early days of investigating Russian election interference and possible links to the Trump campaign.

Advocates for his case are working to make the actual transcript of this statement available online.
