“A Hillary Clinton Plan”: CIA Director Exposes Hillary Clinton’s Involvement in the Russia Hoax [WATCH]
Former CIA Director John Ratcliffe has spoken publicly about newly released intelligence documents that he says shed further light on the origins of the 2016 investigation into alleged connections between then-candidate Donald Trump and Russia. The documents, according to Ratcliffe, suggest that high-level discussions were held involving political strategies during the 2016 election cycle.
Speaking on Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo on Fox Business (aired Sunday, July 27), Ratcliffe noted that upcoming document releases may offer deeper insight into how certain narratives developed around the Trump campaign. He mentioned that this intelligence includes materials that formed the basis of the surveillance requests made to the FISA court and the broader Russia investigation.
Ratcliffe indicated that the documents contain information suggesting that political opposition efforts may have included strategic attempts to cast doubt on Trump’s candidacy. He stated, “There is more to be revealed about how certain information was gathered and amplified during that period.”
He also discussed the controversial Steele dossier, which played a prominent role in the early stages of the investigation. Ratcliffe referenced intercepted communications that reportedly mentioned an effort to discredit political opponents during the campaign season.
While specific details remain classified, Ratcliffe emphasized that transparency is necessary, saying, “The public deserves to know what really happened. Much of this information has been behind closed doors for too long.”
The topic of how intelligence was used during election seasons has been the subject of bipartisan debate, with lawmakers on both sides calling for clarity and accountability. Ratcliffe expressed his belief that the full release of these documents will help the public better understand the timeline and decision-making behind key events in recent political history.
As discussions around election integrity and the use of intelligence agencies continue, Ratcliffe’s remarks add another layer to the ongoing public conversation about transparency, oversight, and the importance of ensuring public trust in democratic institutions.
