Trump campaign did to win this election. And they are still doing it, (one thread today is talking about Why they are still demonizing Clinton??? OK here is the answer. It is part of the Trump/Russia campaign to dis-inform, confuse and distract)
(The full transcript of what she said at Code 2017 conference is here: It is important reading - It was also on MSNBC)

I finally understand a big part of it and I hope everyone does, because this thing is bad.
Here is why.
Within 24 hours of Trump's pussy grabbing audio appearing, the John Podesta emails were dumped. ALL ON PURPOSE TO GET PEOPLE LOOKING AWAY FROM TRUMP.
But on top of them, Hillary keeps using the term "Weaponizing" this bland information and as far as the Podesta emails here is what that meant.
She said they were beyond boring, nothing in them. I can't remember anything in any of the emails either. But they started picking out pieces of information and creating absurd but horrifying claims that convinced many people that Hillary Clinton was a BAD BAD person.
(Remember how they convinced so many people that she was guilty of every bad thing possible, including TREASON but they couldn't prove it because she paid all her staff to "scrub" her emails?
She deleted her emails, which every single one of us does, and this mob of Russian/American illusionists convinced almost 1/2 the nation that ...... SHE IS A TRAITOR!
The other very important thing that I just heard was, In order to do this they had to have this information ready. They had to have people in the US, probably the ones working for Wikileaks compiling bullshit information that they were keeping ready for when Trump did something stupid or information came out about him that they didn't want people to know about. (She even said this damn Covfefe might be just another diversion)
It is all in how they changed our view of reality, (She said that too). We frantically reading bullshit emails, looking for something horrible and then trying to fight their rediculous accusations with reason, (which never works) and they are just planning on their next dump of absurdities. All to keep their base singing Trump's praises and screaming about how evil Hillary Clinton is, (and of course it will be someone else when they can find someone ...... Oh there was a #FuckBillMahar thing going around Twitter so I guess they are trying get Bill Maher to take over somewhat but I don't think that one is going to fly. Guaranteed they are looking right now for more scapegoats that they'll pull out when they need them
So it is.....
1. They are guilty of a lot of things
2. They have bullshit information waiting to dump whenever Trump does something stupid or when real concrete connections between him and Russia or one of his cronies and Russia comes up. People in the US were and are working for them, compiling this information
3. They have people employed to twist information around and get Democrats chasing their tails trying to debunk their insanity and also to keep their insane base happy
REPEAT.....
AND - If Trump goes away they will continue to use these techniques until it is stopped. That's what I believe anyway

(22,459 posts)for these diversions. That's why I wrote that OP. I never really got how they were doing what they were doing. I've been furious to see, for example after the election you could type "Hillary Clinton" into Google and get normal sites pop up. But right after Jill Stein started that recount I typed her name in again and all the crap popped up again.
And I wrote about that also. If they can take over Google they can take over the conversation. I think that not enough people realize how dangerous this whole situation is.

(22,459 posts)If we don't deal with the GOP smear machine it won't matter who we run. They made a big deal of Bill Clinton being a "Rapist" and Hillary being his "Rapist supporter" Meanwhile there were over 20 women who came forward who accused Trump of actually sexually assaulting them and where did that go?
They are already starting with Elizabeth Warren, picking out nothings and making them into big bullshit items that their bots repeat along with the stupid side of America.
I heard several people talking about how Hillary Clinton was probably the most over qualified individual for the job ever. And still, here in DU I just read someone insinuate that there was something wrong with her character!
Quit it!

Hillary is right. None of this crap matters. We can discuss it ad nauseam after impeachment. We are only enabling Russia. We are literally doing their job for them.
As Laydeebug would say, Stay Woke!
