FBI's New Weaponization Probe Potentially Gets Around the Statute of Limitations
Investigation opens the door to criminal charges for election interference and the abuse of government power against President Trump and other conservatives over the last decade.
NOTE: The attempted coup of Russiagate failed, though it did incalculable damage. The 2020 election theft, however, worked: by means of it (plus pardons) the conspirators hoped to evade the statute of limitations. But now the whole thing is unraveling, as the Justice Department attacks all of it at once from a legal theory that renders limitations moot. The brilliant John Solomon reports. — RDM

The FBI has quietly launched an investigation into a decade of Democratic party and Deep State abuse from Russia collusion to Jack Smith, opening the door for the appointment of a special prosecutor to examine whether the well-documented episodes amount to a criminal conspiracy to meddle in three U.S. elections to the benefit of Democrats and the detriment of President Donald Trump.
The “grand conspiracy” case was opened several weeks ago after new FBI Director Kash Patel took over, and it could get a significant boost if Trump were to declassify two secret tranches of evidence that identify a potential ignition point to the alleged conspiracy in the summer of 2016, according to several people directly familiar with the inquiry, who spoke to me on a condition of anonymity.
The first piece of evidence is a classified annex to a years-old inspector general probe of Hillary Clinton’s improper email server sought by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley. That annex is believed to show that credible information about possible wrongdoing was intentionally ignored by the FBI.
The second tranche of evidence was identified by former Russiagate Special Counsel John Durham in his final report. The evidence was dubbed in the report as the “Clinton plan intelligence," and it was also placed in a classified annex kept from the American public and even many members of Congress.
Excerpts from the publicly available and unclassified Durham report show that U.S. spy agencies were aware that Clinton’s 2016 campaign was concocting a bogus Russia collusion narrative to harm Trump’s election chances before the FBI opened its now-discredited Crossfire Hurricane probe, in part using evidence created by the Clinton campaign or offered by Clinton associates.
Both pieces of evidence have remained sealed from public view for nearly a decade and are highly classified because they reveal sensitive intelligence-gathering methods, officials said.
The FBI declined comment.
Sunshine Is The Best Disinfectant
CIA Director John Ratcliffe earlier this month released a scathing review of the U.S. intelligence community’s assessment of Russian influence in the 2016 election, criticizing then-CIA Director John Brennan for joining the FBI in pushing to include disgraced British ex-spy Christopher Steele’s baseless anti-Trump dossier. In particular, Ratcliffe concluded that then-CIA Director John Brennan "showed a preference for narrative consistency over analytical soundness."
Ratcliffe later posted on social media about his report, calling the smear campaign against Trump an "atypical & corrupt process under the politically charged environments of former Dir. Brennan & former FBI Dir. Comey."
If Trump declassifies the Grassley and Durham documents, prosecutors could submit them to a grand jury in an effort to try to show a distinct pattern of the FBI and spy agencies willfully ignoring intelligence or evidence damaging to Democrats while relentlessly pursuing Trump with evidence that was often flawed.
Trump administration officials have weighed naming a special prosecutor to probe the recent bombshell revelations reported by Just the News that the FBI received human source intelligence — and some corroborating evidence — that China was engaged in a scheme to create fake mail-in ballots in 2020 to help Joe Biden win. The FBI failed to investigate the matter, and even recalled the intelligence and asked fellow spy agencies to destroy it.
But the five-year statute of limitations on that inquiry is only weeks away from expiring since the evidence arrived in August 2020, leaving the potential for criminal charges or other accountability on an almost impossibly tight timetable.
