This morning, Director Ratcliffe was on Sunday Morning Futures and noted the Durham report annex is being declassified and prepared for release. He also had the following to say:
“What intelligence shows is that part of this was a Hillary Clinton plan, but part of it was an FBI plan to be an accelerant to that fake Steele dossier, to those fake Russia collusion claims by pouring oil on the fire, by amplifying the lie and burying the truth of what Hillary Clinton was up to.”
In April we reported the following:
“According to sources familiar with the matter, the memorandum is based on an email sent in March 2016 from Jennifer Palmieri, a senior official in Hillary Clinton’s campaign, to Leonard Bernardo, a Democrat operative with ties to the party’s leadership employed by George Soros’ Open Society Foundations. This email, sources claim, outlined a strategic plan that included leveraging the FBI to amplify allegations of Russian collusion against then-candidate Donald Trump, weeks before the Russians are alleged to have hacked the Democratic National Committee.”
We’ll take a small victory lap here at Sleuth News and then get back to work, with additional exclusive stories in the works. Our work won’t get the fanfare of major media, but I am proud of our track record for accurate reporting.
Think they’ll hide the memo?
