Exhibit A is the book Shattered: Inside Hillary Clintons Doomed Campaign, by Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes. In light of this weeks revelation that Hillarys campaign funded the dirty anti-Trump Steele dossier, the book takes on a new significance. It reveals:
Within 24 hours of her concession speech, [campaign chair John Podesta and manager Robby Mook] assembled her communications team at the Brooklyn headquarters to engineer the case that the election wasnt entirely on the up-and-up. For a couple of hours, with Shake Shack containers littering the room, they went over the script they would pitch to the press and the public. Already, Russian hacking was the centerpiece of the argument.
The plan, according to the book, was to push journalists to cover how Russian hacking was the major unreported story of the campaign, and it succeeded to a fare-thee-well. After the election, coverage of the Russian collusion story was relentless, and it helped pressure investigations and hearings on Capitol Hill and even the naming of a special counsel, which in turn has triggered virtually nonstop coverage.
