That is why she never showed up to thank her supporters who were milling around New York City\u2019s Javits Center all night. Few others in the media reported it. Yet now I have more evidence \u2014 provided by Clinton herself.<\/p>\n<p>I wrote on Nov. 23: \u201cShe reverted to the form that all of us who have covered her for years have been reporting. She screamed, shouted some very unladylike epithets, threw some objects at her servitors\u2019 heads and availed herself to more adult beverages than was prudent.\u201d . . .<\/p>\n<p>It is all in her latest book, \u201c<span class=\"stream-tag\">What Happened<\/span>,\u201d which appeared last week. I found the book oddly affecting. She is angry. She is blaming everyone for her defeat but herself.\u00a0 . . .<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, the book turned out to be just another Clintonian fraud. It is full of obvious plagiarisms. Its publisher, Abingdon Press, has recently had to recall it from bookstores and pulp the returned books. Referring to [Hillary\u2019s pastor] Shillady\u2019s work, the president of the publishing house said, \u201cAbingdon Press has zero tolerance for plagiarism.\u201d Embarrassing.<\/p>\n<p>At any rate, Clinton\u2019s reaction to her defeat in \u201cWhat Happened\u201d corroborated much of what I wrote last November. \u201cI yelled at the television,\u201d she writes. \u201cI nearly threw the remote control at the wall.\u201d And she introduces the subject of medication, saying: \u201cFriends advised me on the power of Xanax and raved about their amazing therapists. Doctors told me they\u2019d never prescribed so many antidepressants in their lives. But that wasn\u2019t for me.\u201d How about a mild sedative accompanied by alcohol, Hillary? That is was what I was hearing in the days after the election. . . .<\/p>\n<p>I had written back in November: \u201cSecret Service officers told at least one source that she began yelling, screaming obscenities, and pounding furniture. She picked up objects and threw them at attendants and staff. She was in an uncontrollable rage.\u201d Yet the chapter reveals only that she was \u201cnumb,\u201d and that when she sat down with her speechwriters to write her concession, \u201cthe draft was too combative,\u201d so \u201ca spirited discussion ensued.\u201d Oh, come on, Hillary. It has been reported at least since The American Spectator\u2019s \u201cTroopergate\u201d stories in the early 1990s that your bad temper is volcanic, your foul mouth is shocking and your throwing arm is at least minor league.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">If we lose, on the other hand, we will do so with dignity, without riots and BS.

Just five days after the date on which the Russians believed Clinton had personally authorized the collusion smear against Trump, the FBI formally opened its anti-Trump collusion investigation, codenamed \u201cCrossfire Hurricane.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That investigation relied heavily on a dossier of anti-Trump allegations compiled by Christopher Steele, a former British intelligence agent. Steele was hired by Fusion GPS, a Democrat opposition research firm that had been hired by the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) to manufacture and spread claims that Trump was secretly working on behalf of Putin.<\/p>\n<p>At the time, both Steele and Fusion GPS were simultaneously working on behalf of Oleg Deripaska, a sanctioned Russian oligarch with close ties to Putin. In his infamous dossier, which has been thoroughly discredited and debunked since it was published in early 2017, Steele relied heavily on a single source for the most salacious and explosive allegations against Trump. . . .<\/p>\n<p>Clinton personally pushed the Russia collusion claims on multiple occasions. Following her surprising defeat, she immediately pivoted to a campaign of blaming Russia for election meddling with Trump\u2019s assistance.
