CIA Director John Ratcliffe, FBI Director Kash Patel and AG Pam Bondi coordinated in the declassification of the annex Grassley made public
The credible foreign sources indicating the FBI and the Obama administration would play a role in spreading the salacious Trump–Russia narrative — before the bureau ever launched its probe — were allegedly tied to George Soros' Open Society Foundation, according to an explosive document declassified Thursday morning.
The appendix to former Special Counsel John Durham’s report released by the Senate Judiciary Committee sheds stunning light on what Chairman Chuck Grassley describes as "one of the biggest political scandals and cover-ups in American history."
CIA Director John Ratcliffe, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, FBI Director Kash Patel and Attorney General Pam Bondi worked in coordination to declassify the information.
Before its official release, sources exclusively briefed Fox News Digital on some of the contents of the appendix — including that the U.S. intelligence community had credible foreign sources indicating that the FBI would play a role in spreading the salacious Trump–Russia collusion narrative — before the bureau ever launched its controversial Crossfire Hurricane probe.
A source familiar with the contents of the classified appendix told Fox News Digital that while it may not have been exactly clear in the moment what the intelligence collection meant, with the benefit of hindsight, it predicted the FBI’s next move "with alarming specificity."
The appendix reveals that the foreign sources were allegedly tied to George Soros’ Open Society Foundations.

"During the first stage of the campaign, due to lack of direct evidence, it was decided to disseminate the necessary information through the FBI-affiliated…technical structures… in particular, the Crowdstrike and ThreatConnect companies, from where the information would then be disseminated through leading U.S. publications," Benardo reportedly wrote in an email, per the appendix.
P
THAT George Soros??? 😮
Gee, why would Durham classify this annex and not release it????
Sounds like the rumor that DOJ had an insider in the FBI who told them where the files were locked up might be real.
To go into this much detail on Faux News indicates they have the connections identified.
Only one reason and we both know what it is. :-)
bttt
Yes, unfortunately. The sooner we are rid of that unholy nazi collaborator abomination the better.
Revoke his citizenship.
Why hasn’t Hungary been motivated to ask for Soros to be extradited for war crimes?
Review
The burn bag annex.
Justice is NOT optional.
ONLY ARRESTS!
Probably due to the role of the GRU.
Soros should be prosecuted for this and his Open Society Foundation banned in this country.
I knew that Nazi dog turd, Soros was involved in this. He’s a maggot.
Temperature is rising
If its the old man, deport him immediately, he bought his way into the USA and has violated rules of immigrants.
