Clinton, Pelosi blasted by left for continuing to push 'Russiagate': 'They're never going to give up'
Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi are facing backlash from their own side of the aisle over their ongoing pursuit to find any ties between President Trump and Russia.
Clinton suggested, in an interview with the House speaker that aired on her podcast "You and Me Both", that her 2016 rival had "other agendas" while serving as president and predicted that the truth will eventually be known.
"I hope, historically, we will find out who he's beholden to, who pulls his strings. I would love to see his phone records to see if he was talking to [Russian President Vladimir] Putin the day the insurgents invaded our Capitol," Clinton said.
While Clinton and Pelosi's Trump-Russia obsession had conservative critics howling on social media, many on the left also piled on.
"Jesus they are still #Russiagate-ing," Status Coup co-founder Jordan Chariton reacted.
"She might want to be careful advocating for Big Tech to slow the spread of conspiracy theories, her podcast might get suppressed," The Intercept DC bureau chief Ryan Grim warned Clinton.
"Remember when Mueller spent 18 months and millions of dollars armed with a team of prosecutors and subpoena power, then closed his investigation after arresting *zero* Americans for conspiring with Russia? Let's do it again! Anything to distract from how rotted neoliberalism is," journalist Glenn Greenwald said.
"lol they’re never going to give up on Trump/Russia even after 4+ hyper-obsessive years, a full Special Counsel investigation, endless Congressional inquiries, and now even after he’s relegated to exile in Mar-a-Lago," journalist Michael Tracey similarly wrote.
The Grayzone's Aaron Maté compared the Russian collusion narrative to a leftwing QAnon.
Congratulations President Biden
President-elect Joe Biden plans to take 17 executive actions during his first hours in office Wednesday, moving faster and more aggressively to dismantle his predecessor's legacy than any other modern president.
Biden will sign a flurry of executive orders, memoranda and directives to agencies, making his first moves to address the coronavirus pandemic and undo some of Donald Trump's signature policies.
With the stroke of a pen, he'll halt construction of Trump's border wall, reverse his travel ban targeting largely Muslim countries, and embrace progressive policies on the environment and diversity that Trump spent four years blocking.
