Flashback: Hillary Clinton Was First to Promote Bogus Russian Alfa Bank Story – And Today Her Campaign Lawyer Got Indicted

Most people who get involved with the Clintons either end up dead or indicted.

Hillary Clinton-linked Perkins Coie lawyer Michael Sussmann was indicted on Thursday for lying to the FBI about not representing “any client” when he acted as a running dog and tipped off the bureau about the Trump Organization secretly communicating with Russian Alfa Bank.

According to a debunked story published by far-left Slate, Trump set up a secret server at Trump Tower on 5th Avenue to “communicate privately with a Putin-tied Russian bank called Alfa Bank.”

The FBI began investigating the Trump Organization’s “back-channel” with the Russian-owned bank after Sussmann ran to the FBI and presented data files to back up the claims.

It was all a lie but Hillary promoted the lie anyway.

Recall, Hillary Clinton was the first to promote the bogus Russian Alfa Bank story with just days to go until the 2016 election

On October 31st Hillary tweeted, “It’s time for Trump to answer serious questions about his ties to Russia.” and she linked to a far-left Slate article claiming computer scientists discovered Trump’s secret server to be communicating with a Putin-tied bank called Alfa Bank. Excerpt from the Slate article:

“I have an outlier here that connects to Russia in a strange way,” he wrote in his notes. He couldn’t quite figure it out at first. But what he saw was a bank in Moscow that kept irregularly pinging a server registered to the Trump Organization on Fifth Avenue.

Here we are five years later and Hillary Clinton’s campaign lawyer was indicted by a grand jury for lying to the FBI about his role in promoting the bogus Russian Alfa Bank story.
