White House: 'Real Russia scandal' is Clinton camp's ties to controversial dossier

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by NurseJackie (a host of the Hillary Clinton group).

President Trump, the White House and Fox News are seizing upon a Washington Post report that the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee helped pay for the controversial dossier that made salacious but unverified claims about Trump’s ties to Russia.

“The real Russia scandal?” White House press secretary Sarah Sanders tweeted on Tuesday night, shortly after the Post’s story was published online. “Clinton campaign paid for the fake Russia dossier, then lied about it & covered it up.”

Even if there was some truth to the article, and it was some sort of election law violation, everyone is so used to Trumps camp lying and try to distract the only ones who will latch onto this are died-in-the-wool republicans.

Don't act stupid. Opposition research paid for by Americans is legal. Opposition research paid for by the Russians is not.

first paid to gather the information. When Trump won the nomination, the Dems took it over. There is nothing illegal about it.

BTW... happy birthday Hillary!

this fake news in Hillary's Group?

There's no "truth" to the article.

Please don't post propaganda like this in Hillary's Group.
