Opinion: 'Hillary Clinton Derangement Syndrome' is worse than ever
There's something infecting right-wing circles, and it's showing no sign of letting up: a fixation on Hillary Clinton that I'm calling"Hillary Clinton Derangement Syndrome," or "HDS" for short.
The symptoms of this persistent ailment include an unhealthy obsession with the former secretary of state -- from spreading lies about her past actions to blaming her for events with which she has no connection -- combined with an insatiable longing to see her run for president again in 2024.
A new HDS variant apparently emerged last week when special counsel John Durham, who has been investigating the origins of the FBI's Trump-Russia probe, filed a motion involving Michael Sussmann, a lawyer with ties to Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign who has been charged with lying to the FBI. (Sussmann has pleaded not guilty, and his case is headed for trial later this year.)
Durham's 13-page motion addressed a possible conflict of interest regarding Sussmann's legal counsel, but some on the right interpreted the document as revealing something more sinister about Clinton.
