Hillary Clinton is still very much hung up on the results of the 2016 presidential election.

She’s now calling upon Congress to keep digging for links to Russia collusion, regardless of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s findings.

From Daily Wire:

Failed 2016 Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton doesn’t want Congress to give up on pursuing evidence of President Donald Trump colluding with Russian officials to impact the 2016 elections, even if Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report comes up empty.

In a podcast with former Daily Beast chief Tina Brown recorded earlier this week, Clinton was clear in delivering her marching orders to the Democratic Congress: keep digging.

“There is enough grounds in what has already been made public for the government, for Congress in particular, to be doing more with it,” Clinton said. “And I’m pleased that under Speaker Pelosi, the Democrats are beginning to hold hearings and try to connect some of these dots.”

Why would Donald Trump’s former personal attorney, Michael Cohen, seemingly come from out of nowhere to blindside the president?

Lynne Patton, who works under Ben Carson at the Department of Housing and Urban Development, knows the answer.

In short, it involved a lengthy prison sentence – but not for Cohen.

Patton wrote in a Facebook post:

What many of you may not be aware of is the fact that I can personally confirm that the ONLY reason Michael Cohen “turned on” the President of the United States is because Mueller threatened to throw his wife in jail for up to 30 years. Period. She is the co-guarantor of a $20M personal loan that Mueller discovered Michael secured back in 2015 by falsely inflating the value of his taxi medallions – effectively making her part & parcel to the federal charge of “Making False Statements to a Financial Institution,” to which Cohen ultimately plead guilty. This is also the reason why Cohen’s longtime taxi medallion partner, Evgeny “Gene” Freidman, was granted immunity.

This is weird. Lynne Patton said in a little-noticed Facebook post that Michael Cohen turned on Trump after Robert Mueller threatened to prosecute his wife. https://t.co/RNjKJ7UF7G pic.twitter.com/UCurvr3CR2

So, Patton says Cohen flipped after his wife was threatened with three decades in the pokey.

North Carolina Congressman Mark Meadows noted that he has “nieces and nephews who are people of color.”

Of course, his words came after freshman Democrat Rep Rashida Tlaib (MI) implied that Meadows was racist for bringing a black woman to speak fondly of President Trump to Michael Cohen’s hearing.

Meadows was royally ticked off, as you might imagine.

WATCH:

The black woman to whom Tlaib is referring is Lynne Patton, a senior official at Housing and Urban Development who works under Ben Carson.

Scooplet: Longtime Trump aide Lynne Patton (who now serves as a HUD official) is attending hearing as a guest of Rep. Mark Meadows. Sources say Patton will sit behind Meadows during hearing. Patton, who is black, may do press to push back against testimony that Trump is racist

2. Have talked to several members and they've never seen an admin official sit behind a member of congress during a hearing! As @maggieNYT pointed out, Patton was brought into Trump world by Cohen. This is clearly intended as a reminder for Cohen, Meadows is Trump's top ally.

I am honored to be the special guest of @RepMarkMeadows today. I am here in support of @POTUS and in support of the truth, as Michael Cohen (knows that I know) it to be. And the truth is that it doesn’t take you 15 years to call someone a racist. Unless they’re not one. pic.twitter.com/jPxeYTbTYT

More on the Cohen hearing, per Fox News:

Former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen exploded Wednesday when House Oversight and Reform Committee Ranking Member Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, accused him of having “non-existent” remorse over charges of bank fraud, to which he had pleaded guilty.

“Shame on you Mr. Jordan, that’s not what I said,” he said to Jordan.

The exchange came after Cohen, who was testifying on Capitol Hill, was grilled by Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., about the charges of bank fraud that were part of the financial crimes to which he pled guilty in August.

In December, Trump went after Cohen pretty hard – calling for prison time:

“Michael Cohen asks judge for no Prison Time.” You mean he can do all of the TERRIBLE, unrelated to Trump, things having to do with fraud, big loans, Taxis, etc., and not serve a long prison term? He makes up stories to get a GREAT & ALREADY reduced deal for himself, and get…..

….his wife and father-in-law (who has the money?) off Scott Free. He lied for this outcome and should, in my opinion, serve a full and complete sentence.

Trump then went on to praise Roger Stone:

“I will never testify against Trump.” This statement was recently made by Roger Stone, essentially stating that he will not be forced by a rogue and out of control prosecutor to make up lies and stories about “President Trump.” Nice to know that some people still have “guts!”

Bob Mueller (who is a much different man than people think) and his out of control band of Angry Democrats, don’t want the truth, they only want lies. The truth is very bad for their mission!
