    and starts throwing flak all over the place.

    This time it's Tulsi Gabbard who is a Russian asset, oh and Jill Stein was too.

    Hillary Clinton has said Russia, which interfered in the US election she lost in 2016, is “grooming” a Democratic candidate for a third-party run next year, signalling she believes congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard could fill the role.

    The goal of this would essentially be to divide the US electorate and help Donald Trump win re-election, Clinton said. In the interview, Clinton also said she believes Russia had compromising information, or kompromat, on Trump.

    “I’m not making any predictions but I think they’ve got their eye on somebody who’s currently in the Democratic primary, and they’re grooming her to be the third-party candidate,” the former secretary of state told David Plouffe in his “Campaign HQ” podcast without providing evidence.

    “She’s the favorite of the Russians. They have a bunch of sites and bots and other ways of supporting her so far.”

    Clinton, speaking on the podcast which first aired on Thursday, did not name Gabbard, but her comments appeared aimed at the Hawaii congresswoman.

    When asked if the former secretary of state was referring to Gabbard, Clinton’s spokesman said: “If the nesting doll fits.”

    “This is not some outlandish claim,” Clinton spokesman Nick Merrill added. “This is reality.”


    Gabbard later responded on Twitter, accusing Clinton of trying to destroy her reputation.

    “Great! Thank you @HillaryClinton. You, the queen of warmongers, embodiment of corruption, and personification of the rot that has sickened the Democratic Party for so long, have finally come out from behind the curtain.”


    But seriously, to quote that great headline from a few months ago, Why won't Hillary Clinton shut the #### up and go away?

    Here's the Canary with a summary of the Tulsi smears:

    Meanwhile, here's Private Eye cheering on the destruction of the Canary:

    While far-right sites target Muslim migrants, far-left sites target Jews. “The Canary,” the campaign tells its followers and advertisers, “regularly publishes fake news and attempts to justify anti-Semitism.” It also feeds the conspiracy theories of the far left. One hideous example came when the campaign discovered that Unicef, which tends to the victims of the Syrian and Venezuelan regimes, was advertising on the Canary, which has denied the humanitarian crisis in Venezuela and pretended that Syrian president Bashar al-Assad did not use chemical weapons against Syrian civilians in Douma. In August, the Canary cut its staff from 25 to seven. Perhaps inevitably, it blamed “political Zionists” targeting advertisers.

    Pretty dreadful shit.
