Amidst the DC law enforcement lockdown and Trump’s imminent meeting with President Putin, the RussiaGate disclosure operation continued bearing fruit yesterday. Just the News, which has been one of the central conduits, ran the story yesterday below the headline, “
‘Shut it down’: Bombshell FBI timeline exposes political interference in Clinton corruption probe.” As late as 4pm yesterday,
DNI Tulsi Gabbard continued dropping newly declassified RussiaGate documents on X:
It wasn’t only Just the News. Late yesterday, Fox ran its own story under the headline, “
Clapper allegedly pushed to 'compromise' 'normal' steps to rush 2017 ICA, despite concerns from NSA director.” The subheadline added, “Gabbard declassified emails, exclusively obtained by Fox News Digital, allegedly reveal that the 'manufactured intelligence assessment was deliberate and came from the very top.’”
Yesterday’s double-barreled declassifications slammed into the news cycle like a fusillade of political artillery. First, DNI Tulsi Gabbard dropped an email showing then-DNI James Clapper telling NSA Director Mike Rogers they might have to “compromise” on normal intel procedures, to fast-track the infamous January 2017 report blaming Russia for the DNC hacks, even though NSA Director Rogers’ team said they weren’t given nearly enough time or access to source documents to be “absolutely confident” in the conclusion.
DNI Clapper then replied that he needed everyone to be “on the same page” in “the highest tradition of ‘that’s OUR story, and we’re sticking to it.’” (Caps in original.) In other words, there would be no more time, and no more debate.
Next, FBI Director Kash Patel surfaced a 2017 DOJ-authored timeline documenting how, whereas the RussiaGate hoax got first class seats on the bullet train, the Clinton Foundation corruption probe was handcuffed, blindfolded, and shoved in a filing closet. Obama’s Deputy AG Sally Yates allegedly ordered prosecutors to “shut it down,” Andrew McCabe required personal approval for any new investigative step, and field offices were told not to recruit new sources or collect documents.
Shut. It. Down. They did. By Election Day 2016, the Clinton investigation was effectively dead.
Mission accomplished, as George Bush might say.
As previously reported, Bondi’s Justice Department is prepping (or maybe already running) a grand jury, to probe whether the scheme wasn’t
just partisan bias, but actually a coordinated criminal conspiracy to protect political allies and frame enemies. In other words, we may soon find out whether “Crossfire Hurricane” and “Clinton Foundation” were opposite sides of the same coin — one side polished and laminated, the other side carved off and hastily buried below the deep state’s chicken coop.
If these documents
are authentic and materially complete, this situation is about as historic as it gets for the U.S. intelligence community. Not because the evidence merely shows bias or bureaucratic turf wars, but because its primary-source, contemporaneous evidence that top national security officials discussed,
in writing, how to cut procedural corners and align politically sensitive conclusions for public consumption.
