Declassified evidence exposes FBI-Clinton collusion in Russiagate hoax

Declassified documents have revealed a bombshell, namely, that Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign orchestrated a fake Russia scandal to smear Donald Trump, as Just the News reports.

In summer 2016, intelligence surfaced that Clinton approved a plan to falsely tie Trump to Russian interference, aiming to distract from her email scandal. The Senate Judiciary Committee, led by Chuck Grassley, is set to unveil this via a declassified appendix to John Durham’s 2023 Russia report. This appendix will expose the FBI's knowledge of Clinton’s scheme and internal campaign communications plotting the hoax.

By late July 2016, the CIA intercepted foreign intelligence about Clinton’s plan. Then-CIA Director John Brennan briefed President Obama, noting Clinton’s approval on July 26, 2016, to vilify Trump with Russian collusion claims. The CIA passed this to FBI Director James Comey, highlighting Clinton’s intent to shift focus from her private email server.

Clinton’s campaign tactics revealed

Durham’s 2023 report confirms the Intelligence Community knew of the “Clinton Plan” by July 2016. Brennan alerted top officials, including Joe Biden, yet the Obama administration pushed the Trump-Russia narrative anyway. This suggests a deliberate choice to amplify a known falsehood.

On July 26, 2016, during the Democratic National Convention, Clinton allegedly greenlit the plan. That same day, Clinton ally Alexander Downer tipped off the FBI about Trump associate George Papadopoulos, triggering the Crossfire Hurricane probe. Coincidence? Hardly -- it smells like a setup.

The Clinton campaign, through lawyer Marc Elias, hired Fusion GPS, which enlisted Christopher Steele to craft the infamous Steele Dossier. Elias admitted to meeting Steele and knowing about plans to push anti-Trump stories to reporters. Clinton herself approved spreading false Alfa Bank claims, tweeting about them on Oct. 31, 2016.

FBI’s complicity raises eyebrows

Shockingly, the Clinton Plan intelligence never reached Justice Department attorneys handling Crossfire Hurricane’s FISA matters. It wasn’t disclosed to the FISA court either, tainting the investigation’s legitimacy. Some FBI officials, blindsided by Durham’s findings, expressed dismay at being kept in the dark.

Former FBI General Counsel James Baker told Durham he was unaware of the Clinton Plan. Had he known, he said he’d have viewed the Steele Dossier and Alfa Bank claims “in a much more skeptical light.” This admission exposes a fractured FBI, where key players were either complicit or clueless.

A source familiar with the evidence told Just the News, “foreign enemies believed that the FBI would fully participate in the plan.” This chilling claim suggests the FBI wasn’t just duped -- it may have been an active accelerant in Clinton’s scheme. So much for impartial law enforcement.

Denials, deflections abound

Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook authorized Elias to dig into Trump’s Russia ties, receiving regular updates on Fusion GPS’s work. Yet top aides like Jake Sullivan and John Podesta called the Clinton Plan allegations “ridiculous” when grilled by Durham. Their denials ring hollow against the declassified evidence.

Clinton herself dismissed the intelligence as “Russian disinformation” and “sad,” telling Durham’s team, “you have to go down every rabbit hole.” Her flippant response reeks of deflection, especially since she personally pushed the Alfa Bank narrative. The lady doth protest too much.

Jennifer Palmieri, Clinton’s communications director, outlined the Russia-Trump strategy in a post-election Washington Post piece, conveniently omitting Clinton’s role in the dossier or Alfa Bank claims. Palmieri also called the Clinton Plan allegations “ridiculous.” Funny how everyone’s singing the same tune.

A conspiracy against democracy?

Brennan’s creation of a CIA “Fusion Cell” in 2016 to probe Russian meddling likely stemmed from the Clinton Plan intelligence. His lawyer confirmed Brennan shared the intel at a National Security Council meeting, yet the FBI pressed forward with Crossfire Hurricane. This smells like a coordinated effort to weaponize a lie.

Rep. Claudia Tenney told Just the News that the Clinton Plan was a “calculated effort to obstruct” Trump’s presidency after his unexpected 2016 win. She argued it aimed to disrupt the peaceful transfer of power—ironic, given Democrats’ later accusations against Trump. The hypocrisy is thicker than a D.C. fog.

Bobby Charles called it “an attempted takedown of the United States government,” likening it to a pre-Civil War crisis. He labeled it a “genuine conspiracy,” a prosecutable crime with no historical precedent. If true, this isn’t just politics -- it’s a betrayal of democracy itself.
