Do you have a source for it being opposition research?
As far as I can tell, https://www.democracynow.org/2016/2/26/whichhillary_blacklivesmatter_activist_demands_apology_from https://www.democracynow.org/2016/2/26/whichhillary_blackliv... describes the event where it resurfaced. Now maybe the activist had the information planted. Maybe not. But I've disliked her since meeting her in 1994 (at Dartmouth College, for a speech on health care). Disliked her more when she ran for Congress. Disliked her more again when I donated to Barack Obama's campaign to make sure she didn't become President in 2008. Disliked everything that I heard of her as part of Obama's cabinet. And also disliked her in 2016.
And as context, here is my bias.
I correctly predicted what Trump would be, but could not bring myself to support Hillary because I don't know which I consider worse. Even today, despite the Jan 6 events, I'm not sure that the worse candidate won in 2016.
If Trump gets back in office and manages to dismantle Democracy, then Trump was in retrospect worse. But if he fails at take 2 like a buffoon should, then I prefer how things actually turned out over Hillary's blend of hypocritical incompetence.
