"I Am Indeed Out For Blood": Musk Says 2016 Hillary Tweet 'Absolutely'
Disinformation, Asks Parag To Weigh In

Elon Musk has waded into the Sussmann trial - tweeting on Friday that
it's "absolutely correct" that a 2016 tweet from Hillary Clinton was
"misleading disinformation."

A week before the 2016 election, Clinton notably tweeted "Computer
scientists have apparently uncovered a covert server linking the Trump
Organization to a Russian-based bank," to which user @veespike asked
Musk: "@elonmusk I have reported this tweet as misleading
disinformation to the powers that be at @twitter. I would be
interested to know if, when you receive control over the company,
anything was done with this at any level. Pls advise soonest."

"You are absolutely correct," Musk replied, adding "That tweet is a
Clinton campaign hoax for which their campaign lawyer is undergoing a
criminal trial."

Musk then asked Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal and top Twitter attorney
Vijaya Gadde to weigh in.

    @elonmusk I have reported this tweet as misleading disinformation
to the powers that be at @twitter . I would be interested to know if,
when you receive control over the company, anything was done with this
at any level. Pls advise soonest.

Musk then got into an argument with a pro-Hillary account, "Tesla
Facts" (@truth_tesla), which suggested Elon was lying.

    ??

    Sussmann himself admitted billing Clinton Campaign to pay for him
to present Russia hoax to FBI! This is not even questioned by the
defense.

    Btw, I donated to & voted for Hillary, so am doubly pissed off
about those funds being used for lying.https://t.co/PtFgYzpXQN

The richest man in the world replied to several other people in the
thread. He's gone all-in folks.

Former Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook dropped a bombshell in
court on Friday - testifying that Hillary Clinton approved the
dissemination of allegations that then-candidate Donald Trump had a
covert communications channel with a Russian bank, despite campaign
officials not being "totally confident" in the rumor, according to Fox
News.

Mook, who was called to the stand by the defense team for former
Clinton lawyer Michael Sussmann, was asked under cross-examination
about the campaign's understanding of the allegations against Trump,
and whether the campaign planned to release it to the media.

He told prosecutor Andrew DeFillippis that he was first briefed by
campaign general counsel Marc Elias, who was a partner with Perkins
Coie at the time, adding that he was told the data had come from
"people that had expertise in this sort of matter."

    Mook said the campaign was not totally confident in the legitimacy
of the data, but had hoped to give the information to a reporter who
could further "run it down" to determine if it was "accurate" or
"substantive."

    He also said he discussed whether to give the information to a
reporter with senior campaign officials, including campaign chairman
John Podesta, senior policy advisor, now White House National Security
Adviser Jake Sullivan, and communications director Jennifer Palmieri.

"I discussed it with Hillary as well," said Mook, who added "I don’t
remember the substance of the conversation, but notionally, the
discussion was, hey, we have this and we want to share it with a
reporter."

When asked how Clinton responded, Mook said: "She agreed to that."

"A reporter could vet the information and then decide to print it," he added.

And then of course, Hillary did this:

linking the Trump Organization to a Russian-based bank.

Of note, after previously denying the prosecutions request to include
the tweet into evidence, he approved it on Friday.

Sussman has been charged with lying to the FBI when he told General
Counsel James Baker in September 2016 - less than two months before
the US election - that he wasn't doing work "for any client" when he
presented the Alfa Bank "purported data and ‘white papers’ that
allegedly demonstrated a covert communicates channel" between the
Trump organization and the Kremlin-linked Alfa Bank.

Special Counsel John Durham alleges that Sussman was in fact working
for the Clinton Campaign and tech executive Rodney Joffe. He has
pleaded not guilty.
