The big news of the past few days has been that the DNC and the Clinton campaign paid for the Trump-Russia dossier. On top of this, we learned that the FBI had investigated the Russian bribery, extortion and other illegal coercion in connection with the Uranium One deal. The response from top Democrats and Hillary Clinton has been pretty consistent. The current and the former chairs of the DNC denied having any knowledge about the dossier. All those around Clinton denied knowledge in similar fashion. Clinton's campaign spokesman said that Hillary may have known about the dossier, but Clinton herself stayed silent on the subject. Then CNN reported that unnamed sources tell it that Clinton didn't know anything about it. It was the most massive stampede of Democrats to a common position of supposedly not knowing that I can recall.
The know nothing response, however, is already starting to fall apart. Two high powered Democrats wrote an article in the New York Post in which they say that it is not possible that Hillary and the head of the DNC were unaware of what the 9 million bucks paid to their law firm was for. Doug Schoen worked for Bill Clinton in the 1990s and he was a major Hillary supporter in 2008. Andrew Stein was a major elected official in New York and also knows Hillary well. These are not conservative bloggers (some of my favorite people) but important Democrats who know how both election campaigns and the Clintons work. They know that it is inconceivable that Hillary Clinton was unaware that her campaign was spending many millions on creating a phony dossier with scurrilous lies about Trump.
If people like these are already abandoning the Clinton ship, it won't be long before that ship sinks.
