We all knew, but there’s nothing like concrete evidence. Hillary Clinton and her democrat ilk concocted the biggest election fraud conspiracy in the history of the United States.
You know most of the players, but let’s familiarize you with a couple of other names. Critical to this conspiracy were one Julianne Smith and Leonard Benardo.
Julianne Smith is the alleged creator of the Russian collusion scheme. She served as the head of Hillary Clinton’s Europe team during the 2016 presidential campaign.
Leonard Benardo is a senior vice president at the Open Society Foundations, a George Soros funded organization.
In July of 2016, Hillary Clinton’s campaign was a mess.
Democrats received a black eye when the public learned that leaked, internal emails of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) revealed the party “plotted to destroy Bernie Sanders’ presidential ambitions in favor of their preferred candidate, Hillary Clinton,” as the Federalist’s Margot Cleveland previously reported.
It was an embarrassment for Clinton (because it looked like cheating) and the DNC (Because it is supposed to be neutral toward candidates.)
The Clinton campaign needed a distraction from the truth and got one.
While the Clinton camp was thinking about messaging, an unnamed Clinton foreign policy advisor noticed Franklin Foer’s July 4, 2016, hit piece in Slate calling Trump Putin’s puppet, the Durham Annex indicated. On July 5, the advisor praised Foer’s piece in an email, “We’re looking for ways to build on Franklin Foer’s great (and scary) Piece on Trump and Russia.”
Foer put out another Slate piece July 21, 2016, promoting the concept of a closeness between Trump and Putin.
The Clinton campaign seized on this. Emails were passed about suggesting the use and amplification of this scheme. Declassified documents from the 2023 Durham report allege that Smith, as a foreign policy advisor, proposed a plan approved by Clinton to “smear” Donald Trump by linking him to Russian interference in the 2016 election, aiming to distract from Clinton’s email scandal. These documents, which include purported emails involving Leonard Benardo of the Open Society Foundations, suggest Smith played a role in pushing this narrative.
Leonard Benardo, of George Soros’ Open Society Foundations, purportedly said in one version of a July 25, 2016, email that the hacking story was important, and “politicization is on the table.” Benardo then went on to suggest that Julianne Smith, Clinton’s foreign policy adviser, was concocting a plan to “demonize Putin and Trump.”
“Now it is good for a post-convention bounce,” Benardo wrote, adding, “Later the FBI will put more oil into the fire.”
And then
Two days later, Benardo purportedly said in a subsequent email that Clinton approved an “idea about Trump and Russian hackers hampering U.S. elections.”
“That should distract people from her own missing email, especially if the affair goes to the Olympic level,” the email read.
Now we know for a fact that Hillary Clinton personally approved the scheme to distract from her evidence destruction.
HOLY FUCKING SHIT ***THIS*** IN THE GODDAMN CLASSIFIED INDEX THAT HAS BEEN CLASSIFIED FOR 9 GODDAMN YEARS **THIS** IS WHERE THEY COOKED UP THE ‘CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE’ HOAX THAT CREATED THE LEGAL PREDICATE COVER FOR THE ENTIRE CENSORSHIP INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX

Russia was alleged to have hacked the Democratic National Committee in the summer of 2015 and then in March-April 2016. Information was taken from John Podesta’s account and published by Wikileaks from June to October of 2016, but Julian Assange has steadfastly denied the DNC was hacked by the Russians.
Important context to this disclosure in Durham annex:
July 22: WikiLeaks published 20K DNC emails, Assange repeatedly denied the Russians hacked DNC system
July 24: Debbie Wasserman Schultz resigned as DNC chairman
July 25: DNC convention to nominate Clinton began as party is… pic.twitter.com/7cGcZqB44I

The FBI and NSA had “low confidence” that Russia pulled off the hack.
ODNI declassification re: the alleged Russian hack of the DNC and DCCC.
“FBI and NSA, however, have low confidence in the attribution of the [DNC/DCCC] data leaks to Russia.”
They lacked “sufficient technical details” to link the leak to Russian actors. pic.twitter.com/gWei5NqYvp

In the Benardo letter the Russians were called “bumbling incompetent idiots.” Robert Mueller would later try to add credence to the Russian hacking narrative when he symbolically indicted 12 Russians for hacking the DNC. There was no “direct evidence” of Russian culpability but CrowdStrike was expected to fix that
“Crowdstrike and ThreatConnect companies, from where the information would then be disseminated through leading U.S. publications”
This is straight from the Clinton plan to frame Trump for Russia collusion and Crowdstrike was a key conspirator in the operation. pic.twitter.com/lc26YpHzJ6

A Washington Post “Useful idiot” was used to plant three dubious stories
NEW: Declassified docs show Obama’s spooks used Washington Post stenographer Ellen Nakashima to plant 3 major Russiagate stories: 1) Crowdstrike/DNC “hack”; 2) ICA Putin-Trump “consensus” and 3) Carter Page “Russian agent” FISAs. Nakashima is a useful idiot and a Pulitzer fraud. pic.twitter.com/zpap6KzHbA

A senior CIA intelligence official wasn’t buying the collusion BS, and a promotion was threatened if he did fall into line supporting the fraud.
Acrony of then-Director of National Intelligence (DNI) James Clapper threatened to withhold a promotion from a senior intelligence official unless he concurred in the fake Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) on Russia’s meddling in the 2016 election, notes obtained exclusively by The Federalist show.
The notes made public for the first time today recount a conversation the top analyst in the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) had with an unnamed superior who worked closely with the then-Director James Clapper, according to sources familiar with the document.
…
“You need to TRUST ME on this,” Clapper’s crony countered, stating to the analyst he “would need to demonstrate [his] ability to ‘outgrow’” his refusal to sign off on assessments he did not share, in order to be recommended for a promotion. The analyst remained firm, according to the notes, which led his exasperated superior to reply, “I need you to say you agree with these judgements, so that DIA will go along with them!”
Listen carefully when the left tries to distract you. Rep. Jim Himes spent a lot of time trying to distract the country with the shiny Epstein object and then dwell on Russian interference in the election. democrats were hammering Trump not for Russian interference, but for collusion. That bill has come due, and Himes has gone silent.
Hoping to save their asses, Brennan and Clapper whipped up an op-ed which the useful idiot NY Times would publish unquestioningly. It’s full of lies
The most humorous part of the op-ed, however, comes in the latter half, in which Clapper and Brennan try their hardest to “set the record straight” on several key points regarding the 2017 ICA. Unsurprisingly, none of the major claims they make are anywhere close to the truth.
The first subject they choose to tackle is the Steele dossier — a collection of salacious and unsubstantiated allegations about Trump bought and paid for by the Hillary Clinton campaign. The dossier was foundational in the FBI’s launching of a counterintelligence investigation into the Trump campaign in July 2016 and was later used to obtain a warrant to spy on Trump campaign official Carter Page.
Writing about the 2017 ICA in their op-ed, Clapper and Brennan claim — as they have “under oath” — “that the dossier was not used as a source or taken into account for any of its analysis or conclusions.”
“At the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s insistence, a short summary of the dossier was added as a separate annex only to the most highly classified version of the document that contained the assessment,” write Clapper and Brennan. “That annex also explained why the dossier was not used in the assessment.”
To the contrary, the dossier was used in the ICA. The declassified House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) report shows how the dossier was “referenced in the ICA main body text and further detailed in a two-page ICA annex” — “[c]ontradicting public claims by [Brennan] that the dossier ‘was not in any way‘ incorporated into the ICA” [emphasis added].
It was Brennan himself who insisted the dossier be included in the ICA. Read it all for the rest of the lies.
This same scurrilous dirtbag Brennan also made this asinine assertion:
2022. John Brennan claims that the Russians went undercover into Mar-a-Lago and made copies of the documents that Trump had stored there.
Brennan then claims that Trump is most likely a foreign agent.
It is frightening that this guy once ran the CIA. pic.twitter.com/WaxoqdR9zx

This is a quote from the Brennan/Clapper fictional op-ed:
Finally, and contrary to the Trump administration’s wild and baseless claims, there was no mention of “collusion” between the Trump campaign and the Russians in the assessment, nor any reference to the publicly acknowledged contacts that had taken place.
Keep that in mind as you watch this
Former CIA director John Brennan was one of the leading figures claiming the 2016 Trump campaign colluded with Russia. Now, the latest Russiagate disclosures have exposed the CIA and FBI’s blatant lies about the Russiagate hoax. @ggreenwald on the Russiagate disclosures: pic.twitter.com/XFmaI4AUKs

This all began as red herring to distract from Hillary Clinton destroying evidence. The hoax was allegedly suggested by Julianne Smith, coached by Leonard Benardo and approved by Hillary Clinton. And the guy who ordered up the fake ICA? Here he is lighting the match.
January 8th, 2017. After receiving the fake intelligence assessment that he requested, Obama talks with Democrat operative George Stephanopoulos to get the Russia hoax going.

He’s untouchable (though his reputation is very much indictable), but the others- Clinton, Brennan, Clapper, Comey- are not. As John Ratcliffe pointed out, the statute of limitations begins only after the last act of conspiracy. It is time for justice to prevail. Margot Cleveland has some thoughts on that.
If I were trying to unravel the deep-state’s interference in American’s elections (IC meddling/Crossfire Hurricane; post-election meddling, i.e. ICA, SC Mueller, leaks, Impeachment I; Hunter-Biden laptop; Impeachment II; SC Smith), I would gather the following:
-All “prohibited access” files on Sentinel; -All still classified transcripts from interviews/Congressional testimony & still classified evidence
-Everything Brennan gave to FBI from 2015 on.
-Everything re Midterm Exam & Clinton Foundation -Everything related to Joffe, Halper, Dearlove, Mifsud.
-Everything related to DNC hack, including DARPA & criminal investigations/indictments.
-I’d make a list and interview everyone who expressed concern in those materials.
A few more ideas from Cleveland are here. They’re all good.
This hoax to take down – figuratively stab him in the back- a President is the greatest political scandal in the history of the country. The country needs to see indictments- not for revenge or vengeance, but for accountability.
By the book, of course.
