Former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe on Sunday accused a leading Democratic lawmaker of intentionally peddling a false narrative against then-President Donald Trump ahead of the 2020 election to sway the outcome while adding that a noted Democrat-aligned law firm could also be guilty of a criminal “conspiracy” during the 2016 election cycle.
In an interview with Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo, Ratcliffe, a former U.S. Representative from Texas who left Congress to serve as DNI during the latter portion of Trump’s term, pointed a finger at House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) as well as the entire Perkins Coie law firm, the latter of which could eventually be indicted by special counsel John Durham, he said.
Durham, who was appointed by then-Attorney General William Barr to investigate the origins of the so-called “Trump-Russia collusion” narrative, which has been debunked, has so far indicted two people in his investigation: Former FBI lawyer John Clinesmith, who lied on applications to the FISA court in order to secure surveillance warrants against 2016 Trump campaign adviser Carter Page; and Michael Sussmann, a Clinton campaign lawyer accused of lying to the FBI about a disproven link between the Trump Organization and Kremlin-linked Alfa Bank.
Clinesmith pleaded guilty, avoiding prison and receiving a 12-month probation sentence along with 400 hours of community service.
Sussmann has pleaded not guilty.
Just do it.
Or STFU.
I bet Clinesmith is still rubbing his wrist after that vicious slapping it took.
Remember when Saul Alinsky’s whore said “If that fucking bastard wins, we’re all going to hang from nooses! You better fix this shit!”
Well…. the fat lady’s tuning up.
TRF
Yea, I’m starting to get the impression Durhams like a dog with a bone. Can you imagine the mountain of crime he’s surfing through. It would be nice if he tied the FBI and other three letter agencies into the coup.
“Could, may, might”, but ne’er an actual Democrat indicted, or even publicly deposed.
Blah, blah, blah.
Are you not entertained?
Or maybe a better word is distracted.
“Let tHe PrOcEsS work!”, they say, to divert you as they prepare to steal another election.
God’s Judgement will fall before Derham does anything substantive.
As intened.
Notice they haven’t threatened Hillary with indictment yet.
And why not? Perhaps the whole “investigation” is to circle the wagons to shield her from just that.
I also have read that no government employees have been implicated. It’s those TRAITOROUS BASTARDS that really need to hang!
Have you noticed the one word that is missing, the absence of which proves this is bullshit. Had this one word been included we would know for a fact that the hammer was indeed coming down. “BOMBSHELL”
