Remember when John Ratcliffe, as DNI, on September 29, 2020, sent a letter to the Judiciary Committee that showed John Brennan and Hillary Clinton colluded with Obama and Biden to make up the Russian Collusion Story that ran on the nightly MSM news for the first 3 years of Trump's First 4 years in office and completely hamstrung his administration? A Russia, Russia, Russia fantasy that was used by the House and Senate to shut DC down until they could get to the midterms?
In late July 2016, U.S. intelligence agencies obtained insight into Russian intelligence analysis alleging that U.S. Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton had approved a campaign 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. The IC does not know the accuracy of this allegation or the extent to which the Russian intelligence analysis may reflect exaggeration or fabrication.
According to his handwritten notes, former Central Intelligence Agency Director Brennan subsequently briefed President Obama and other senior national security officials on the intelligence, including the "alleged approval by Hillary Clinton on July 26, 2016 of a proposal from one of her foreign policy advisors to vilify Donald Trump by stirring up a scandal claiming interference by Russian security services."
On 07 September 2016, U.S. intelligence officials forwarded an investigative referral to FBI Director James Corney and Deputy Assistant Director of Counterintelligence Peter Strzok regarding "U.S. Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton's approval of a plan concerning U.S. Presidential candidate Donald Trump and Russian hackers hampering U.S. elections as a means of distracting the public from her use of a private mail server."
John Ratcliffe has just been named as President-Elect Donald J Trump's choice for Director of the CIA.
Imagine that!
Also, EO 13848 said....
Section 1. (a) Not later than 45 days after the conclusion of a United States election, the Director of National Intelligence, in consultation with the heads of any other appropriate executive departments and agencies (agencies), shall conduct an assessment of any information indicating that a foreign government, or any person acting as an agent of or on behalf of a foreign government, has acted with the intent or purpose of interfering in that election. The assessment shall identify, to the maximum extent ascertainable, the nature of any foreign interference and any methods employed to execute it, the persons involved, and the foreign government or governments that authorized, directed, sponsored, or supported it. The Director of National Intelligence shall deliver this assessment and appropriate supporting information to the President, the Secretary of State, the Secretary of the Treasury, the Secretary of Defense, the Attorney General, and the Secretary of Homeland Security.
DNI Ratcliffe's report determined that yes, there was foreign interference in the 2020 election. Trump and Ratcliffe attended a football game (Army-Navy game it might have been) where Ratcliffe supposedly gave Trump the report.
Thanks for that additional sauce, fren.
Did we ever find out what was in the red folder?
