As Wednesday’s explosive Michael Cohen hearing illustrated, a number of Clinton–Obama figures have been instigators in the Justice Department’s 33-month-long Russia probe of President Trump and his family.
Attorney Lanny Davis sat behind former Trump attorney Cohen, whispering in his ear during his accusation-filled House testimony. Mr. Davis, Cohen’s closest adviser, is a consummate Bill and Hillary Clinton loyalist, having served as their counsel and spokesman. He has been a source for anti-Trump news stories. His book, “The Unmaking of the President 2016,” calls for Congress to remove the president.
Mr. Davis is not alone among Clinton–Obama supporters working to oust Mr. Trump, some in the shadows. They have operated at the Justice Department and in political operations, as well as in opposition research, public relations and law firms.
“The ‘deep state’ are Obama–Clinton partisans,” said Tom Fitton, who directs the conservative investigative group Judicial Watch.
Clinton and Obama supporters started and sustained Trump-Russia collusion theories. Their centerpiece is the anti-Trump dossier funded by Mrs. Clinton’s campaign and the Democratic Party. Its conspiracy charges fueled much of the collusion talk from Rep. Adam Schiff, California Democrat and chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, who continues his hunt today.
