Hillary Clinton said shes convinced that Trump campaign associates cooperated with Russia to meddle in the 2016 presidential election, according to a report.
There certainly was communication and there certainly was an understanding of some sort, Clinton told USA Today in an interview released late Monday. Because theres no doubt in my mind that (Russian President Vladimir) Putin wanted me to lose and wanted Trump to win. And theres no doubt in my mind that there are a tangle of financial relationships between Trump and his operation with Russian money. And theres no doubt in my mind that the Trump campaign and other associates have worked really hard to hide their connections with Russians.
Im convinced of it, she continued in the interview tied to Tuesdays release of her book What Happened. I happen to believe in the rule of law and believe in evidence, so Im not going to go off and make all kinds of outrageous claims. But if you look at what weve learned since (the election), its pretty troubling.
The former Democratic presidential candidate said she believes more lurks behind Russias hacking of the election, Wikileaks release of emails from the Democratic National Committee and from her campaign chairman John Podesta and the recent revelations that the Kremlin bought Facebook ads to plant fake news stories.
And then theres the role Donald Trump played, she said. see also Trump says Dems keep running with 'phony Russian Witch Hunt' Trump says Dems keep running with 'phony Russian Witch Hunt'
Trump mentioned Wikileaks 160 times in October, she said. Why? Hes trying to let people know what he thinks is important and also what hes done and what he knows about? Which I think is a fair question, she said.
Trump has called claims he colluded with the Kremlin during the election a witch hunt and has said the story was created by Democrats as an excuse for losing the election.
Clinton also said Moscow was motivated to interfere in the election because of Putins personal vendetta against her, which can be traced to NATOs expansion in eastern Europe during Bill Clintons administration and the part she played when she was secretary of state in encouraging demonstrations against him in 2011.
Yet I never imagined that he would have the audacity to launch a massive covert attack against our own democracy, right under our noses and that hed get away with it, she told the newspaper.

Insufferable, lying bitch!
The only ones getting away with anything are the criminals Billy Goat and Hitlery!
They have left such a pile of corpses in their journey to untold wealth that it's enough to make an honest person puke their guts out. Deep down they're the worst form of trailer trash.
