Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) Director John Ratcliffe hinted that more evidence in the Russiagate investigation will be released during a discussion with “Sunday Morning Futures” host Maria Bartiromo.
Speaking to the statute of limitations, Ratcliffe noted that it has “been almost 10 years for many of these folks who did this,” although former CIA Director John Brennan and Hillary Clinton’s involvement is “within five years.”
“What hasn’t come out yet and what’s going to come out is the underlying intelligence that I have spent the last few months making recommendations about final declassification and sent that to the Department of Justice that will come out in the John Durham report classified annex,” Ratcliffe told Batiromo. “And what that intelligence shows, Maria, 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 bearing the truth of what was — what Hillary Clinton was up to.”
He noted that Brennan testified to John Durham in 2020 and before the House Oversight Committee in 2022. Clinton then testified before Durham under oath in 2020, and former FBI Director James Comey testified before the Senate committee in September 2020.
“All of that’s within the last five years. And much of that testimony is, frankly, completely inconsistent with what our underlying intelligence that is about to be declassified in the Durham annex, what that reflects,” Ratcliffe stated, adding that the declassification process is necessary to ensure accountability and preventability in the future.
“That’s why I have made the referrals that I have, DNI Gabbard has made referrals and why we’re going to continue to share the intelligence that would support the ability of our Department of Justice to make fair and just — bring fair and just claims against those who have perpetrated this hoax against the American people and this stain on our country,” he further explained.
Ratcliffe added that he is “excited about what the American people will see very shortly and what’s to continue to come.”
