Yesterday The Federalist<\/a> posted an article about some information declassified and released by Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe yesterday.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Not only were Russian officials aware of Hillary Clinton\u2019s campaign plan to accuse Donald Trump of being a Russian asset, top U.S. intelligence authorities knew of Russia\u2019s knowledge of Clinton\u2019s plans, Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe disclosed to congressional officials on Tuesday<\/a>. Before they launched an investigation into whether Trump\u2019s campaign was colluding with Russia, intelligence agencies learned that Russia knew of Clinton\u2019s plans to tarnish Trump with the collusion smear.<\/strong><\/p>\n

At one point, former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) Director John Brennan personally briefed then-President Barack Obama and other top U.S. national security officials that Russia assessed Hillary Clinton had approved a plan on July 26, 2016, \u201cto vilify Donald Trump by stirring up a scandal claiming interference by Russian security services,\u201d according to Brennan\u2019s handwritten notes.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fired former FBI Director James Comey and fired former FBI counterintelligence official Peter Strzok were even sent an investigative referral on September 7, 2016, regarding Russia\u2019s alleged knowledge of Clinton\u2019s plans to smear Trump as a treasonous Russian agent, Ratcliffe wrote. Rather than investigate at the time whether Russian intelligence had infiltrated the Clinton operation\u2019s anti-Trump campaign and sowed Russian disinformation within it, the FBI instead used unverified gossip from a suspected Russian agent<\/a> to obtain federal warrants to spy on the Trump campaign.<\/strong><\/p>\n

There is no evidence the FBI ever investigated the Clinton campaign\u2019s documented use of Russian agents and intelligence assets to interfere in the 2016 U.S. election, raising questions of whether the top federal law enforcement agency may have itself interfered in the election by using its powers to arbitrarily target the campaign of the outgoing administration\u2019s political enemy.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article concludes:<\/p>\n

Clinton personally pushed the Russia collusion claims on multiple occasions. Following her surprising defeat, she immediately pivoted to a campaign of blaming Russia for election meddling with Trump\u2019s assistance. Within the last few weeks, Clinton has repeated her claim that Trump stole the election from her with Russia\u2019s help.<\/strong><\/p>\n

While Comey, Strzok, and other Obama-era FBI officials have claimed that the investigation of Trump was legally predicated, U.S. Attorney John Durham<\/a>, who is investigating the propriety of the entire Crossfire Hurricane operation, has publicly stated, based on evidence he has obtained, that he does not necessarily believe that to be the case.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Please follow the link above to read the entire article. This abuse of federal power is something that needs to be dealt with. It is a safe bet that if Joe Biden wins the election, all of this corruption will be buried and the same techniques used against any opponent of the Democrats. At that point we will no longer have a recognizable America. The voters need to know what happened before the election. Unfortunately the deep state will prevent that from happening in order to continue its war against the American people.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
