Conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch accused Hillary Clinton of fabricating a “Russia smear” against Donald Trump to divert attention from her email practices, which the organization claims to have exposed as abuses and crimes.
The post, shared by @JudicialWatch and featuring a video clip of President Tom Fitton, asserts that Clinton’s actions were a distraction tactic during the 2016 election.
The message highlights Judicial Watch’s ongoing legal efforts, stating the group is suing to uncover what former President Barack Obama knew about the matter.
It links to their campaign page on the “Crossfire Hurricane/Russiagate investigation,” the FBI’s 2016 counterintelligence probe into potential Trump-Russia ties.
This aligns with Judicial Watch’s recent activities. In January 2026, the organization filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the Department of Justice, seeking fully unredacted records and missing portions from Special Counsel John Durham’s review of the probe’s origins.

Judicial Watch has long pursued documents related to Crossfire Hurricane, arguing it stemmed from politically motivated opposition research tied to Clinton’s campaign.
Fitton, a vocal critic, frequently describes the Russia investigation as a “hoax” orchestrated to undermine Trump.
The post received moderate engagement, with hundreds of likes and reposts, reflecting continued interest among supporters in revisiting these events amid shifting political landscapes.
