Further proof of Hillary's dignity, patriotism and commitment to the rule of law

[EffieBlack]

As a former Secretary of State and a political candidate receiving top level briefings, Hillary Clinton surely knew much more than she was saying about Russian interference in the election and Trump's complicity in it. But given the top-secret nature of this information, she could not reveal it without violating all manner of security protocols and possibly jeopardizing the investigation and national security.

So she did her best to try to warn us within the parameters she could work with.

Had she been as craven, self-serving, and evil as Trump, she surely would have used this information to her advantage and would have revealed it regardless of any national security implications in order to secure a victory. But, instead, she stayed true to her oath and her commitment and did not exploit her inside information.

But that doesn't mean she didn't do her best to sound the alarm. The warnings she gave us were more than enough to alert the vast majority of Americans to the impending danger we faced ... But sadly, she was ignored by too many. Because emails or likeability or corporatist or something

She warned us.

3. We know she saw the Steele Dossier - the un-redacted version

The only version of the Steele Dossier that any of us have seen has all the black lines going through it so we couldn't read the worst parts. Hillary saw all of it, and so did Obama. I can't wait until some day the ENTIRE report is shared with the American people.

4. We do? Where'd you read that?

Obama likely got a briefing about what was in it, and Hillary may've too as a candidate but I've never seen anyone report that Hillary saw the unredacted version prior to the election (righties maybe, but not a reputable source).

5. Her campaign ordered the original report as oppo research

6. I'm very familiar with it's etymology :)

I've just read in a few articles that Steele insisted to his employer Simpson (Simmons? And I believe it's even in his Congressional Testimony) that the information was too serious to be left to politics and that it instead be handed to the FBI/authorities, and not to the campaign, so I'm curious if you actually read somewhere that it was provided to Clinton after all?

7. I though Jeb Bush ordered the original oppo research. nt

8. Originally commissioned by a Republican campaign, then dropped when Trump still got the nom...

The info was sufficie tly alarming that Steele tried to get the FBI to take heed. He finally shopped the information to the Clinton campaign.

9. don't forget--according to many, there is NO difference between HRC and this orange menace--actually
