Pro-Trump twitter is saying Judge Kimba Wood was "handpicked by Hillary Clinton"

This is the argument they seem to be settling on. Coming soon to Fox News, I would imagine, and all the other Trump spin outlets.

Daily Caller already running with that angle.

Search Twitter and you will see tweet after tweet like this:

She’s a Clinton confidante and was chosen by Hillary to be AG.
She also officiated George Soros’wedding!
Kimba Wood, judge presiding in Trump's lawyer Michael Cohen's case is a left-wing HACK.
She was chosen by Bill Clinton (Hillary's decision) to be AG.
Kimba Wood...She was even Hillary's pick for AG!
Judge Kimba Wood of the Cohen case, has compromised ties to Hillary Clinton.
Judge Kimba Wood, a great friend of Hillary's, and Bill Clinton's nominee for Attorney General.

It goes on and on and on.

By now he's had to spend at least $800 billion on the things people claim he's behind.

It would be wise to point out, even in this thread, that Judge Wood was appointed to the federal bench by none other than St. Reagan of Ronnie.

Definitely something worth getting out there.

She even ran through the history of the New York State judicial arrangement between Republicans and Democrats during their respective national administrations — that the party out of power at the national level would nevertheless be able to nominate 25% of judges at the state level.

Through this mechanism, the Democrats were still able to put forth judges during the dreadful Reagan-Reagan-Bush I Democratic drought. And it was during this long dry stretch that Judge Wood got the call.

This is not going to hold much water, except with the rightie loon balls. Judge Wood attended the Sorbonne, and was appointed to the federal bench by the Republican's own St. Ronald of Reagan.

Hillary Clinton is their go to boogie man. They are so incapable of any kind of rational thinking that they should only be laughed at.

Which I would think would be obvious to anyone on DU.

Scary thing is that they are out there at all and will probably make their way to Fox News shortly (if they haven't already).

I especially like how you counter the false narrative you so generously point out for us, rather than simply lathering, rinsing and repeating the narrative without allowance for the relevant facts of the matter...

It does indeed go on and on and on.

It's amazing that this is out there - but I guess also not surprising considering how all roads lead to Hillary and Soros for that ilk.
