Hillary Clinton’s Stunning Campaign Statement About Trump’s Ties To Russia – Huffington Post
We are dealing with something unprecedented in the history of this country...that should scare everyone. Democrat, Republican, and Independent.

Donald Trump should immediately disclose all of his tax ties and connections to the Kremlin and its associates. The American people deserve to know the full extent of these links and how they relate to what the Russians are doing..."
Hillary Clinton did not mince words in a speech delivered to a rapt crowd regarding what she explicitly referred to as the "relationship between Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin."
"Putin is manipulating Donald. Putin is a trained intelligence officer from the old KGB. He knows he can use flattery to get into Donalds head -- to make Donald the Kremlins puppet. And It seems to be working. Donald has signaled to Putin that he will let Russia do whatever it wants, from Ukraine to Syria and beyond," said Clinton in the explosive statement.
The catch? The statement was given during a campaign rally on a cold Monday night nearly five months ago, and only eight days before the 2016 presidential election, on October 30, 2016.
A captured snippet from the event in which Clinton addressed supporters in Kent, Ohio has recently resurfaced, but at the time it received relatively little fanfare and was not otherwise widely reported on, despite the explosive nature of its contents. This was, of course, three days after FBI Director James Comey publicly suggested that she was the subject of a potentially new criminal investigation into her e-mails, which did not pan out to be true.
In retrospect, the video serves as a shockingly precise warning about the rapidly unfolding quagmire currently before us, as potential collusion between members of Donald Trumps presidential campaign and Russian operatives becomes more and more of a reality.
As of Thursday evening, Representative Adam Schiff (D-CA), the leading member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, has gone on record to state that the FBI is in possession of new information that exceeds circumstantial evidence, and suggested that this may go before a grand jury.
Indeed, it appears that Hillary Clinton tried to warn the American people, who likely did not have the capacity or context to fully understand the weight of her words until now. But... she tried to tell us.
Other noteworthy moments from the speech not depicted in the video include Clinton quoting former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright: We have never seen a mind meld of the kind between the Russian leadership and a candidate for the presidency of the United States.
On the presidents authority to launch nuclear weapons:
The Clinton campaign has not formally addressed whether they will pursue any formal legal challenge of the election, though I previously reported on at least one possible (if implausible) legal scenario for consideration.
