In what should have been explosive news, last week the Director of National Intelligence, John Ratcliffe, revealed that in July 2016 the Obama/Biden FBI and CIA had received intelligence indicating Hillary Clinton was concocting a scheme to tie then-candidate Trump with Russia.
Newly declassified handwritten notes show that knowledge of Clinton’s purported plot went all the way up to the top. Then-CIA Director John Brennan briefed President Obama on July 28, 2016, of Hillary Clinton’s alleged plan to smear then-candidate Trump by tying him to Russia. Interestingly, three days later, the FBI opened a counterintelligence probe (code name Crossfire Hurricane) into the Trump campaign.
According to Brennan’s notes taken after the Obama briefing:
“We’re getting additional insights into Russian activities from [redacted],” Brennan notes read. “CITE alleged approved by Hillary Clinton a proposal from one of her foreign policy advisors to vilify Donald Trump by stirring up a scandal claiming interference by the Russian security service.”
Purportedly, Clinton wanted to smear Trump to detract from her email scandal, and no doubt aid her presidential campaign.
A recent letter sent by Ratcliffe to the chairman of the Judiciary committee Lindsey Graham asserts that in late July 2016, U.S. Intelligence agencies learned from analyzing Russian intelligence that:
“U.S. presidential candidate Hillary Clinton had approved a plan to stir up a scandal against U.S Presidential candidate Donald Trump by tying him to Putin and the Russians’ hacking of the Democratic National Committee.”
Seemingly to plant the Russian collusion theory, in July 2016, days after the DNC hacking was made public, Clinton’s campaign manager, Robby Mook, appeared on CNN. Mook claimed, without any evidence, that Russians released the DNC emails to aid Trump’s presidential campaign.
CIA Memo
In September 2016, the CIA sent the FBI a memo passing along the Clinton campaign’s efforts to implicate Trump in Russian collusion. The memo was sent to then-FBI Director James Comey and then-Deputy Assistant Director of Counterintelligence Peter Strzok.
According to “National Review’s” Andrew McCarthy, this memo was not a request for the FBI to open an investigation into Hillary Clinton’s alleged malign plan to damage Trump, as implied by Ratcliffe. It was a formal communication to the FBI of the information gathered by the CIA on Clinton’s purported plan to tie Trump to Russia.
McCarthy writes that this memo indicates that the CIA wanted “the FBI to act on Hillary Clinton’s unfounded allegation that Donald Trump had conspired with Russia to hack the DNC.”
Shockingly, it appears that the Obama/Biden CIA and FBI were working together looking for evidence to bolster the Clinton campaign’s Trump-Russian collusion assertions.
Furthering the argument that Clinton was behind the Russian collusion probe, former FBI General Counsel James Baker testified in 2018 before a House Judiciary oversight task force that Hillary Clinton allies flooded the FBI with unverified allegations of Trump-Russia collusion, during the 2016 campaign and during Trump’s presidency.
According to Baker, at least 10 Clinton loyalists reached out to the FBI, directly or through a middleman, with Trump Russian collusion conspiracies. Baker stated that the situation was “horrible” and “highly unusual”.
This week on “Sunday Morning Futures” Devin Nunes stated that there is even more evidence, yet to be declassified, that backs up the recent release of documents indicating that Hillary Clinton was behind the promulgation of the Russian collusion hoax.
The Steele Dossier
Let’s not forget that the FBI used opposition research conducted by ex-British spy Christopher Steele, and commissioned by the Hillary Clinton campaign, as evidence to pursue an investigation into then-candidate Trump.
The FBI applied for four warrants to surveil Trump aide- Carter Page, submitting the “Steele dossier” as evidence to the court. Moreover, the FBI never informed the court of the association between their “evidence” and the Clinton campaign.
By July 2016, the FBI knew that Steele’s research was more than likely tainted with bias. In testimony, last summer to congressional investigators, Department of Justice official Bruce Ohr revealed that he repeatedly warned the Crossfire Hurricane team beginning in July 2016 that Steele expressed animus against Trump and was working with the Clinton campaign.
The FBI also knew the Steele dossier was most likely Russian disinformation. Steele relied on one primary sub-source, Igor Danchenko, whom the FBI knew by December 2016, was a suspected Russian agent.
Shamefully, Comey even briefed President-Elect Trump, in January 2017, on the dossier, giving it credibility. This effectively green-light the press to publish the allegations in the dossier, and even the dossier itself. Hence, the public explosion of the false Russian collusion accusations.
It is impossible to believe that these were the actions of nonpartisan government officials in search of the truth and not the work of those weaponizing their vast powers to affect their favored political outcome.
Summary
Evidence indicates that Hillary Clinton and her allies contrived the Trump-Russian collusion narrative to affect the 2016 presidential election.
The FBI knew the “evidence” against Trump was dubious, and most likely Russian disinformation.
The Obama/Biden administration’s intelligence and law enforcement agencies used their immense power in concert with the Clinton campaign to further the Russian collusion narrative and sabotage candidate and President Trump
For years Democratic lawmakers and partisans within the government have successfully hid the disclosure of this information.
Update: Tuesday night Trump tweeted that he was ordering the declassification of all documents relevant to the “Russian Collusion hoax” and the Hillary Clinton email scandal.
