Declassified Documents Confirm Hillary Clinton's 2016 Smear Of Trump
The declassified documents are proposed as a smoking gun implicating Clinton in using the FBI to besmirch candidate Trump.
On Thursday, newly declassified documents reveal that not only did the CIA believe a Russian intelligence assessment that the 2016 Hillary Clinton campaign planned to smear Donald Trump by linking him to the Kremlin, it's clear that the FBI helped the Clinton campaign orchestrate the Russia hoax to distract from its investigation into her emails.
To review:
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard earlier this month declassified several documents - including a 2020 House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) report and other intelligence communications revealing that the Obama administration "manufactured and politicized intelligence" to create a false narrative that Russia interfered in the 2016 election to help Trump defeat Hillary Clinton.
Gabbard’s releases highlight the inclusion of the Steele dossier - an unverified report funded by the Clinton campaign alleging ties between Trump and Russia - in the 2017 ICA as an annex. The hoax dossier was used to bolster the Russian interference narrative, despite CIA objections and its discredited status. The HPSCI report states that Brennan insisted on referencing the dossier, even though senior CIA officers warned it was flawed, with Brennan allegedly saying, “doesn’t it ring true?
Gabbard has called these actions a “treasonous conspiracy” led by Obama, Brennan, Clapper, James Comey, Susan Rice, and others, aimed at undermining Trump’s presidency. She has referred the documents to the Justice Department and FBI for investigation into potential criminal implications.
