CIA Director John Ratcliffe said on Sunday that the agency would declassify additional documents showing that the FBI actively worked to amplify the Steele dossier and bury Hillary Clinton’s involvement in the Russia collusion hoax.
Speaking on Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo, Ratcliffe said that an additional batch of declassified documents would be released.
“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 said. “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 burying the truth of what … Hillary Clinton was up to.”
Ratcliffe also added that “much” of the testimony from then-CIA Director John Brennan, Clinton, and former FBI Director James Comey was “completely inconsistent with what our underlying intelligence that is about to be declassified in the Durham Annex, what that reflects.”
Fox News’ Brooke Singman reported on Monday that “U.S. intelligence 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.”
