A former spokesman for Hillary Clinton responded to Fox News inquiries for reaction to the filing from Special Counsel John Durham that alleges lawyers for the Clinton campaign paid a technology company to gain access to servers belonging to Trump Tower and the White House.
Former Clinton spokesman Philippe Reines said, "I can say with confidence that what the Right is doing now with its insanely overwrought and hysterical reaction to the most recent Durham filing will be a case study in yet another plunge deeper into the abyss.
"It has moved on from simply grossly exaggerating moments to outright disregard reality. Someone wrote something on some piece of paper and that piece of paper has become the newest testament.," he added.
"You know that's bulls--t," he continued. Reines said that the "distinction in coverage is in two interrelated ways: truthfulness & volume."
Reines also took umbrage with Fox News' coverage of the Durham filing.
"FOX and others like it pretend that it's providing information nobody else is covering. The audience is made to feel they're in on a secret," former Clinton spokesman Philippe Reines said in an email to Fox News. "Only they are over-informed and the rest of us live on a bubble devoid of inconvenient truths.
"Those treating their audience like fools to buy anything sold to them are being inundated with it," Reines wrote.
A filing from Durham this month alleges that lawyers for the Clinton campaign paid a technology company to gain access to servers belonging to Trump Tower, and later the White House, in order to establish an "inference" to bring to government agencies linking Donald Trump to Russia.
Durham had filed a motion related to any potential conflicts of interests between the case and former Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann, who has been charged with making a false statement to a federal agent. Sussmann allegedly told the FBI he was not working for Clinton when he brought forth documents allegedly linking Trump to Russia ahead of the election. He has pleaded not guilty.

The filing alleges that Sussmann "had assembled and conveyed the allegations to the FBI on behalf of at least two specific clients, including a technology executive (Tech Executive 1) at a U.S.-based internet company (Internet Company 1) and the Clinton campaign."
Sussmann's "billing records reflect" that he "repeatedly billed the Clinton Campaign for his work on the Russian Bank-1 allegations," according to Durham's filing.

Fact - Claims Clinton spied on Trump are "BULLSHIT"
Well of course he has to run interference lest he suicide himself.
Everyone with a brain has already figured out your hair on fire false claims Clinton spied were bullshit!
I would expect no difference from anybody on the Left...
Much like the Mueller investigation and the constant chanting from the Left about "we got him now" and "can't wait to see him perp-walked out of the Oval", I will wait until the conclusion of the Durham investigation and see the outcome at that time.
Except we know Trump got himself investigated before there was a Clinton campaign in 2016...
Beginning at least by 2014 and continuing right up to election day 2016 Trump was secretly in negotiations to build Trump Tower Moscow and lying about it. Every Intelligence agency in the world was aware of it when Trump and Co actively sought out multiple clandestine agents of Russian State Intelligence Services. Hillary had zero zip nada nothing to do with the origins of the CIA and FBI and other investigations into Trump's Russian dealings!
You keep posting that bullshit with no back up. How about some fucking proof for once...............
Just how many times can you ask for and be provided the same information without you ever acknowledging it? Infinity?
Well thank you.......................finally. And how nefarious /S
ell thank you.......................finally. And how nefarious /S
Except it doesn't provide any evidence that "Trump got himself investigated before there was a Clinton campaign in 2016" like he claimed There's zero evidence of that in his link.
He posts links to stories that use words like Russia, building, Trump but they don't ever prove the [deleted he posts.]

Of course they got nothing on Hillary. They've been digging for 30 years, and still nothing!
