Hillary Clinton Uses UK Book Tour To Warn About Russia

Fact checked

Hillary Clinton has used a book tour in the UK to warn about alleged Russian interference in British politics.

The 2016 Democratic US presidential candidate described the British government’s failure to publish a report on supposed Russian interference before next months general election as “inexplicable and shameful.”

However, critics say Clinton’s tour is election meddling in itself.

RT reports: Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s office has refused to publish an Intelligence and Security Committee report into supposed Russian meddling in the 2016 Brexit vote until after next month’s general election. Though critics have accused Johnson of “sitting on” the report to hide Conservative collusion with Russia, insider sources say it reveals no evidence of interference.

Enter Hillary Clinton. The failed 2016 US presidential candidate – who has repeatedly blamed the Kremlin for her loss at the ballot box to Donald Trump – called the PM’s delay “shameful,” and said she is “dumbfounded that this Government won’t release the report about Russian influence.”

Speaking in a series of radio and television interviews while promoting her book, ‘Gutsy Women’, in the UK, Clinton went on to tread over well-worn ground.

“People deserve to know what is in that report,” she said. “We had a somewhat similar problem in 2016.”

“There is no doubt. We know it in our country, we have seen it in Europe, we have seen it here, that Russia in particular is determined to try to shape the politics of Western democracies, not to our benefit, but to theirs,” she told the BBC.

Downing Street maintains that the report is being withheld pending vetting, and due to long-standing ‘purdah’ rules, which prohibit the publication of anything controversial in the six weeks leading up to an election. As such, some critics have accused Clinton of campaigning for Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn by pushing for the report’s release.

“If Jeremy Corbyn thinks that Hillary Clinton’s announcements on the radio will be helpful, he is deluded as David Cameron when he thought that President Obama’s intervention during the EU Referendum would help the Remain cause,” Tory MP Michael Fabricant told the Daily Mail.

Others saw Clinton serving herself, and reliving 2016 all over again.

“The Russia conspiracy never dies with Hillary,” Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage said, adding that such statements are “typical of her.” 

“She even said I was funded by them.”

    “Killary” Clionton, who is nothing more than a Communist – who used a private server to allow those people paying her (including China) – doesn’t want you to know how “Communist” her and Bill actually are, and is trying to redirect your fears away from her and what she has beenm and ism doing to the American people… https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/f87ad9a54f3f0195252da6840b8e245c9e9c01383b4d34d3e8d0730f82c0aea2.jpg

  2. That’s ironic? When I traveled across Russia, many of the people were well pleased because Slick Willie was committed to open corruption within Perestroika & Glasnost; Also you could get a direct flight on Alaskan Air from Seattle to Vladivostok and Khabarovsk. Russia was our best friend before Bush Jr. got elected.

    Liars extraordinaire; If their mouths are open it’s either underage sex going in or bovine excrement coming out.
    Somehow, I believe many will remember those days.

    Every administration needs a boogie-man to cover their crimes but the Clintons sold out the USA, one thousand times over any other, in plain sight. They say the “spouse being cheated on” is always the last to know.
