On Twitter Thursday, President Trump continued to stoke the Clinton-Russia connection, retweeting a four-day-old tweet from Sean Hannity that drew attention to a Hill newspaper story about Russian spies.
On Sunday night, the Hill had reported that the FBI had been keeping close tabs on a Russian spy network that was trying to get cozy with the Clintons at the dawn of the Obama administration, with one spy – who was eventually arrested and deported – briefly posing as an American accountant and working for a top Democratic donor.
Trump has also harped on a uranium deal approved by Hillary Clinton, among other officials, while she served as secretary of state, telling reporters Wednesday that it was like ‘Watergate modern age.’
The actions of Russian spy Cynthia Murphy and the payments made to Bill Clinton and the Clinton Foundation while the Uranium One deal was going on served as evidence to the FBI that Russia was waging a multi-prong influence campaign to get access to Secretary of State Clinton in 2009 and 2010.
‘There is not one shred of doubt from the evidence that we had that the Russians had set their sights on Hillary Clinton’s circle, because she was the quarterback of the Obama-Russian reset strategy and the assumed successor to Obama as president,’ a source who knew of the FBI’s evidence told the Hill.
Three congressional committees are now probing the uranium deal, with the latest break being that the Department of Justice cleared a key FBI informant to testify before Congress.
