"A full-fledged assault on truth and reason"
by digby
The media is giving Clinton the usual rasher of shit for saying this even though it's obviously true. I mean, consider the news today that Comey knew that the memo alleging collusion between Loretta Lynch and the Clinton campaign was a Russian fake but he used it as an excuse anyway because he was afraid it would come out anyway and shake people's confidence in the electoral system and the Department of Justice. This was why he felt the need to inject himself in the election in July by holding that first press conference calling Clinton reckless.
Yes, that gives me a headache too. But it shows how successful this election interference really was.
And keep in mind that Trump and the Russians didn't invent it. The Republicans have been at this for a long time, aided and abetted by the political media:
It's the full manifestation of Cokie's Law: it doesn't matter if it's true or not. It's out there.
