Seeking to keep attention away from Donald Trump, including the expanding Trump-Russia investigations, his supporters — led by Fox TV and hard-right attack site Breitbart — have been pursuing a double diversion against Hillary Clinton.
The campaign is pushing both the unsupported claim that Clinton and the Clinton Foundation profited from the Obama Administration’s approval of the sale of a small US uranium mining concern to Russian interests, and the story — which has been in the public domain since October 2016 — that Democrat activists took over the funding of intelligence gathering for a Trump-Russia dossier after the initial Republican backers stepped aside.
So does the campaign have any substance beyond its PR assault? No — as I explained to talkRADIO’s Julia Hartley-Brewer on Thursday.
The chat also previews files on John F. Kennedy’s assassination, released later in the day.

The media are getting played by the Trump supporters. We knew a year ago that the Democratic National Committee took over funding of opposition research through the dossier….
There is no indication that, just because you fund opposition research, that it is wrong….If you get to the claims that the dossier makes about contacts between Trump’s advisors and Russian officials, a number of those claims have been corroborated by other investigations.
