Former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton argued Wednesday that Russian meddling in the 2016 election in large part cost her the White House, and said she was "leaning" toward believing that President Trump's campaign did, indeed, collude with the Russians.
During an interview at Recode's Code Conference, Clinton argued that the Russians "could not have known how best to weaponize" damaging information about her campaign and fake news stories perpetrated on social media unless they had been "guided" by Americans.
At the conference, Clinton said her campaign's assertions that there was Russian meddling had been "basically shooed away."
" 'There she goes, "vast right-wing conspiracy." ' Now it's a vast Russian conspiracy," she said. "It turned out we were right, and we saw evidence of it."
I think that this is one of the more aggressive statements that Hillary has made about collusion between the Russians and the Trump campaign, but it is also one that I wholeheartedly agree with.
Don't forget that Paul Manafort, Trump's former campaign manager, was paid by a Russian billionaire to impact business and politics in a way that would "greatly benefit the Putin government."
Even a blind man could put the pieces together at this point.
And evidence that Hillary is right on the money comes from this knee jerk response from Trump.
Hillary's response has already been retweeted over a quarter of a million times.
You know the ones whose own ties to Russia have not yet been revealed of course.

It's beyond funny for a man who is currently the subject of numerous investigations to be calling anybody else "crooked."Crooked Hillary Clinton now blames everybody but herself, refuses to say she was a terrible candidate.

In a nutshell Trump's campaign clearly worked with the Russians to hijack this election, and therefore the entire Trump presidency is illegitimate, his policies are illegal, and those in his cabinet are guilty by association.People in covfefe houses shouldn't throw covfefe. https://t.co/M7oK5Z6qwF— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) June 1, 2017
