U.S. intelligence sources have revealed that foreign actors had foreseen the FBI’s involvement in the Trump-Russia collusion narrative before the bureau initiated its Crossfire Hurricane investigation. These insights, shared with Fox News Digital, suggest that the FBI’s actions were anticipated with “alarming specificity,” according to sources familiar with the intelligence.
CIA Director John Ratcliffe is set to declassify crucial intelligence, including a classified annex related to Special Counsel John Durham’s investigation into the origins of the Trump-Russia probe. This move aims to provide transparency and lend credibility to claims of a coordinated effort within the U.S. government to link Trump to Russia, potentially benefiting the Clinton campaign.
In 2016, former CIA Director John Brennan briefed then-President Obama and other officials about a plan by a Clinton campaign advisor to associate Trump with Russian interference. This briefing was part of a broader strategy to distract from Clinton’s use of a private email server. The information was subsequently forwarded to FBI officials, leading to the launch of Crossfire Hurricane.
John Durham’s investigation found that the FBI overlooked significant intelligence indicating a Clinton-led effort to manipulate law enforcement processes for political gain. His report criticized the bureau for failing to critically assess this intelligence during their investigation.
The declassification process involves coordination among several high-profile figures, including Ratcliffe, FBI Director Kash Patel, and others. The release of this information could have significant implications for former officials like Brennan and Comey, who are now under criminal investigation for their roles in the probe.
As more details emerge from the declassified annex, it is expected to shed light on how intelligence was used or misused during the 2016 election cycle. This development could influence public perception and political narratives surrounding the Trump-Russia investigation and its origins.
