Hillary Clinton personally signed off on the Russiagate farce to distract attention from her email scandal, according to a Russian intelligence analysis that was obtained by U.S. intelligence agencies in July 2016.
That is the bombshell allegation that National Intelligence Director John Ratcliffe has just dropped on the Senate Judiciary Committee, with the first presidential debate just a few hours away and with former FBI director James Comey scheduled to testify before that Committee tomorrow morning.
Ratcliffes letter to Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham (R., N.C.) asserts that in late July 2016, American intelligence agencies obtained insight into an analysis by Russian spies, which alleged that Democratic U.S. Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton had approved a plan to stir up a scandal against her Republican opponent, Donald Trump. The plan involved tying [Trump] to Putin and the Russians hacking of the Democratic National Committee.
Lets put this information in context.
Mrs. Clinton was cleared of criminal charges in a July 5, 2016, press conference by then-director Comey. This prompted outrage over whether the Obama administration had distorted the criminal law applicable to mishandling classified information in order to give Clinton a pass. The email scandal would dog Clinton throughout the campaign.
On July 25, less than three weeks after the Comey press conference, the 2016 Democratic National Convention began in Philadelphia. Just three days earlier, on July 22, the hacked DNC emails began being published. By that point, former British spy Christopher Steele had been commissioned by the Clinton campaign (through a lawyer for the campaign and the DNC) to compile research tying Trump to Russia. Steele ran a London-based private intelligence business, whose clients include Russian oligarchs.

What’s sad is that no Weiner will ever get a Clinton in trouble.
Oh boy, yet another bombshell that will end up like all the other bombshells.
Carpet, meet broom.

I’m glad that Andrew McCarthy thinks it’s a bombshell but I think the language is a bit wishy-washy for that: “The IC does not know the accuracy of this allegation or the extent to which Russian intelligence analysis may reflect exaggeration or fabrication.”
Lock Her Up.
No one should be the least bit surprised by this. I just assumed it from the beginning.
What did sleepy Joe know, and when did he know it
Then Hillary owes us 40 million bucks or so.
Linda is (R-SC)
I tend to poo poo these articles, but this catches my attentionbig-time.
Speaking of distractions, as insane and power-mad as they’ve shown themselves lately, I’m almost convinced the Left and the media pushed the lockdown to distract from how ill Joe Biden was. After all, people would get mighty suspicious if Joe just stayed locked down in his basement for the duration of the campaign, but they might not be so suspicious if EVERYBODY was locked down along with him.
What we have here now is perjury trap. Worry, worry, worry
It is going to be immensely fun to watch.
Funny how that works.
This has been going on for over four years.
The thing is for those of us who read the book Shattered by Jonathan Allen & Amie Parnes, it was revealed they sat around in Hillarys campaign and hatched this Russia hoax. I read that in #Shattered when it was released in 2017. Sheesh.
Remember Pelosi’s description of the “wrap-up smear”? That’s what we have here.
And when did Joe forget it too
....... It’s all in the title ..... It’s yet again only an Allegation .....
However, Brennan briefed Obama about it.
NR is useless. Going the way of Weekly Standard.
