Who is Robby Mook and what was his role in Russiagate?
Mook was Hillary’s campaign manager for her 2016 presidential bid
John Podesta, campaign chairman, had authorized Mook to handle budget matters. Mook had approved Perkins Coie’s budget request for “opposition research” /1
Fusion GPS—opposition research firm that hired Steele and coordinated with Sussmann and the media —briefed Hillary’s lawyer Marc Elias.
Elias “summarized some of the information to top campaign officials, including Robby Mook.” /2
On July 24, 2016 Robby Mook alleged on Jake Tapper that Russia is assisting Trump.
This could be the launch of the plan that was approved by Hillary on July 26, according to the CIA, to smear Trump with false Russia collusion allegations. /3
In his report dated July 28, Steele “corroborates” Mook’s accusations against Trump made 4 days previously, citing Russian sources—who we now know is a Brookings operative Igor Danchenko,.Danchenko is soon to go on trial. /4
By asserting legal privilege over the campaign communications, Mook is seeking to protect Hillary from the growing scandal.
The communications could cover activities such as placing fake Trump-Russia media stories, the Steele “dossier” and reports to the FBI.
