Bill and Hillary have plenty of skeletons in their closet. It may be time to put it all out in the open.
And now Hillary Clinton went pale as a ghost after what the CIA director just said.
CIA Director Signals New Russiagate Revelations
CIA Director John Ratcliffe announced plans to declassify additional documents that he claims link Hillary Clinton to false allegations of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. Appearing on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures” with Maria Bartiromo, Ratcliffe stated, “What hasn’t come out yet and what’s going to come out is the underlying intelligence.”
He referenced the Durham report’s annex, currently under declassification, which scrutinized the FBI’s Crossfire Hurricane investigation into alleged Trump-Russia ties.
Ratcliffe’s assertions point to a coordinated effort involving Clinton, suggesting her campaign’s role in spreading unverified claims through the Steele dossier, a document funded by the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) via the Washington Free Beacon. The disclosures aim to shed light on the origins of the controversial narrative that shaped political discourse for years.
Steele Dossier and FBI’s Role Under Scrutiny
The Steele dossier, compiled by former MI6 agent Christopher Steele, alleged ties between Trump’s 2016 campaign and Russia but was later largely debunked.
Ratcliffe claimed the FBI amplified these claims, stating, “And what that intelligence shows, Maria, is that part of this was a Hillary Clinton plan, but part of it was an FBI plan to be an accelerant to that fake Steele dossier, to those fake Russia collusion claims by pouring oil on the fire, by amplifying the lie and bearing the truth of what Hillary Clinton was up to.” The 2023 Durham report, authored by former Special Counsel John Durham, criticized the FBI’s handling of the dossier and its investigation, noting procedural flaws.
Ratcliffe highlighted intercepted Russian intelligence from 2016, saying, “In the summer of 2016, U.S. intelligence intercepted Russian intelligence talking about a Hillary Clinton plan, a Hillary Clinton plan to falsely accuse Donald Trump of Russia collusion, to vilify him and smear him with what would become known infamously as the — as the Steele dossier.”
Ongoing Investigations Challenge Obama-Era Actions
Ratcliffe revealed he reviewed handwritten notes from former CIA Director John Brennan, stating, “The CIA boss said he combed through predecessor John Brennan’s handwritten notes on the matter to discover the ‘underlying intelligence behind it that revealed exactly what happened.’”
He accused key Obama administration figures of conspiring against Trump, saying, “There is no doubt in my mind that the people that we just talked about conspired. They conspired against President Trump. They conspired against the American people.”
Some Obama-era officials have denied that the Steele dossier initiated the FBI’s probe, which began in July 2016 and found no evidence of criminal conspiracy per the 2019 Mueller report.
Ratcliffe and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard have referred their findings to the Justice Department, with Ratcliffe noting, “I don’t think statute of limitations are going to impact [it] because, on the conspiracy, the statute of limitation doesn’t start to run until the last act in furtherance of that conspiracy.”
Justice Department Probes Russiagate Origins
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard recently released a 2020 House Intelligence Committee report, asserting insufficient evidence to conclude Russia favored Trump in 2016, alongside materials showing no Russian hacking altered the election’s outcome.
U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi launched a Justice Department “strike force” to investigate these referrals, aiming to clarify the extent of Clinton’s involvement in promoting the Russia narrative.
Ratcliffe emphasized the ongoing nature of the alleged conspiracy, stating, “They’re refusing to admit or acknowledge what they did … was wrong.”
The declassification efforts seek to address public skepticism about the 2016 election, fueled by Clinton’s campaign tactics, including the dossier’s funding, which critics argue misled voters and undermined Trump’s first term. The Justice Department’s review will determine if further legal action is warranted based on the newly surfaced intelligence.
