Surprise, surprise, surprise.

Time to fire up a grand jury and indict people. Name Øbama as an unindicted co-conspirator.



The Obama administration compromised highly sensitive intelligence networks, according to sources familiar with the matter who spoke exclusively to Sleuth News on the condition of anonymity.

Highly classified documents, obtained by the CIA from Dutch intelligence, indicate that by the summer of 2016, the American government knew enough to stop a fledgling investigation into Russian collusion. Dutch intelligence had infiltrated Russian intelligence groups, including a group known as Cozy Bear who had allegedly hacked the Democratic National Committee beginning in 2015 in a lesser known hack that did not result in the release of documents.

The CIA received numerous reports from the Dutch intelligence service including a highly classified memorandum produced by the Russians detailing a purported conversation from Attorney General Loretta Lynch with a Clinton staffer named Amanda Renteria. The Russian intelligence document alludes to an email presumptively obtained from the Democratic National Committee in which Debbie Wasserman Schultz emailed Leonard Bernardo regarding the alleged assurances Lynch had given to Renteria. The memorandum, received by the FBI in early March 2016 suggested the existence of an agreement by Lynch not to let the investigation into Clinton’s email server progress too far.

In September 2020, then Director of ODNI John Ratcliffe declassified another piece of this puzzle, summarized in three bullet points in a letter sent to Senator Lindsay Graham. The three bullet points are as follows:

  • In late July 2016, U.S. intelligence agencies obtained insight into Russian intelligence analysis alleging that U. S. Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton had approved a campaign plan to stir up a scandal against U.S . Presidential candidate Donald Trump by tying him to Putin and the Russians' hacking of the Democratic National Committee. The IC does not know the accuracy of this allegation or the extent to which the Russian intelligence analysis may reflect exaggeration or fabrication.
  • According to his handwritten notes, former Central Intelligence Agency Director Brennan subsequently briefed President Obama and other senior national security officials on the intelligence, including the "alleged approval by Hillary Clinton on July 26, 2016 of a proposal from one of her foreign policy advisors to vilify Donald Trump by stirring up a scandal claiming interference by Russian security services."
  • On 07 September 2016, U.S. intelligence officials forwarded an investigative referral to FBI Director James Comey and Deputy Assistant Director of Counterintelligence Peter Strzok regarding "U.S. Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton's approval of a plan concerning U.S. Presidential candidate Donald Trump and Russian hackers hampering U.S. elections as a means of distracting the public from her use of a private mail server."
Sleuth’s sources suggest that the Russians had picked up communications between Clinton campaign operatives and public relations personnel containing details of the smear campaign, which Sleuth News has learned included a plan to have the FBI amplify the collusion allegations. The emails described to Sleuth News are strikingly similar to an email released by Wikileaks, authored in February 2016 and sent from Jennifer Palmieri, a Clinton campaign official, to Joel Johnson of The Glover Park Group in which a “swift boat” project is mentioned, weeks before the alleged DNC hack.

...


The new report adds context to a lengthy interview John Brennan had with Special Counsel Durham and suggests a far more complicated picture. Contemporaneous to briefing President Obama on the Clinton plan intelligence, Brennan formed a “fusion cell” composed of CIA, FBI, and NSA experts that Special Counsel Durham suggested was formed due to the Clinton plan intelligence. (FN 405)

The fusion cell included FBI agent Peter Strzok who attended a meeting with CIA officials on August 4th, and later received the CIA’s referral on the Clinton plan. On August 5th Strzok texted Lisa Page that the meeting went well other than “[Liz’s] quote “the White House is running this”.”

Sleuth News has confirmed that CIA official to be Elizabeth Vogt, who worked as part of Brennan’s fusion cell. The Obama administration had just been briefed on Clinton’s plans to manufacture a smear campaign against Donald Trump and the Strzok text messages suggest the administration seized control of investigative efforts.

Post-election, Sleuth News sources allege that President Obama ordered Brennan to oversee the Intelligence Community Assessment and support a Russian interference narrative, and to also exclude any contradictory pieces of information, which would have included materials the CIA had obtained relating to the Clinton plan intelligence.

The highly classified Clinton plan memorandums threaten to materially alter the narrative about the DNC hack and raise new questions about the information available to the FBI and intelligence agencies at the start of Crossfire Hurricane. The American government had sufficient information to suggest the Steele dossier and other allegations were the product of a smear campaign orchestrated by Hillary Clinton. Despite failing to corroborate the claims, and with full knowledge that Clinton may have been manufacturing them, they still proceeded to launch an investigation into Donald Trump and his associates, consistent with the assertions made in secret Clinton plan intelligence documents.

In the coming days, Sleuth News will return to the DNC hack attribution as information continues to develop on several fronts, suggesting the existence of a criminal conspiracy.



 
As separately noted but excellent OP .

Another so called Conspiracy Theory resurrected and exonerated as 100% Fact .

Not that this will deter the present new wave of Troll Bots from a continued stream of misinformation and lies .
See Bugger , Mucky and Spews for better attempts .

So, there really was a president and Russian Collusion after all.
 
"In evaluating whether evidence about collective action of multiple individuals constituted a crime, we applied the framework of conspiracy law, not the concept of “collusion.” In so doing, the Office recognized that the word “collud[e]” was used in communications with the Acting Attorney General confirming certain aspects of the investigation’s scope and that the term has frequently been invoked in public reporting about the investigation. But collusion is not a specific offense or theory of liability found in the United States Code, nor is it a term of art in federal criminal law. For those reasons, the Office’s focus in analyzing questions of joint criminal liability was on conspiracy as defined in federal law."

 
Yawn.

I'll never get back the time I spent skimming that. Hopefully it will be a lesson to me.

The reason this stuff is being refloated and repeated is because Trump doesn’t want people thinking about the present. The noise machine is rehashing to old lies once more.

There are laws against conspiracy.

The word 'collusion' in the thread headline was used because that was what you guys called the Øbama-Hillary conspiracy against Trump, you called it Russian collusion.


Post-election, Sleuth News sources allege that President Obama ordered Brennan to oversee the Intelligence Community Assessment and support a Russian interference narrative, and to also exclude any contradictory pieces of information, which would have included materials the CIA had obtained relating to the Clinton plan intelligence.

Newly declassified FBI memos detail concerns, payments to Russia collusion informant

Newly declassified documents show informant Stefan Halper was motivated in part by "monetary compensation" and was paid nearly $1.2 million from FBI over three decades.
10 Apr 2025 ~~ By Jerry Dunleavy and John Solomon

A key FBI informant in the widely-debunked Russia collusion case was paid nearly $1.2 million over three decades, was motivated in part by "monetary compensation," and continued snitching even after agents concluded he told them an inaccurate story about future Trump National Security Advisor Mike Flynn, newly declassified documents show.
The nearly 700 pages of once-secret documents, obtained by Just the News, were recently turned over by FBI Director Kash Patel to House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan after President Donald Trump ordered them declassified at the start of his second administration.
They provide the most extensive portrait yet of former FBI informant Stefan Halper, a Pentagon consultant and academic who, along with retired British intelligence agent Christopher Steele, was used by bureau agents to build the Crossfire Hurricane case against Trump and his advisers during the end of the 2016 election and the beginning of Trump's first term in office.
~Snip~
An FBI report from April 2017 showed Halper was paid $25,000 in January 2017 and $25,000 in February 2017, with the FBI saying that Halper “was an integral part of a close hold National Security Investigation. CHS has been transferred to a new Case Agent and the CHS’s focus will shift to other matters.”
A $5,000 FBI payment request document by Somma – dated Aug. 15, 2016 – said the payment was for “MITCH” and that it was for work done over a few days in August 2016: “CHS has been integral in the CROSSFIRE HURRICANE investigation. …
~Snip~
"The main goal of the operation is to have CD [CROSSFIRE DRAGON / Carter Page] admit that he has direct knowledge of and is either helping coordinate or assisting the RF [Russian Federation] conduct an active measure campaign with the 'Trump Team,'" stated an Aug. 24, 2016 report detailing the FBI's interactions with Halper that week.
~Snip~
Kevin Clinesmith, who worked on both the Hillary Clinton emails investigation and the Trump-Russia inquiry, pleaded guilty to falsifying a document during the bureau’s efforts to renew FISA authority to wiretap Carter Page, who was an adviser to President Trump's 2016 campaign.

Clinesmith admitted in August 2020 that he had falsely edited a CIA email in 2017 to state that Carter Page was “not a source” for the CIA when the agency had actually told the bureau on multiple occasions that Page had been an “operational contact” for the CIA. Horowitz said the third renewal application “again failed to disclose Page's past relationship with the other agency” because of Clinesmith’s actions. Clinesmith was not named in Horowitz's report, but it was clear he was the "Office of General Counsel attorney" who had been working with the Crossfire Hurricane team.
"The core lie is that I met with these sanctioned Russian officials, several of which I never even met in my entire life, but they said that I met them in July," the FBI transcript quotes Page as telling Halper during the Oct. 17, 2016 interaction at Halper's farm in northern Virginia.
~Snip~
Despite efforts by the FBI and Halper to dig up evidence of Trump-Russia collusion, it never emerged.
A report by a new Justice Department special counsel, John Durham, concluded that “neither U.S. law enforcement nor the Intelligence Community appears to have possessed any actual evidence of collusion in their holdings at the commencement of the Crossfire Hurricane investigation.”
The special counsel also said the "FBI ignored the fact that at no time before, during, or after Crossfire Hurricane were investigators able to corroborate a single substantive allegation in the Steele dossier reporting.”


Commentary:
The Russia-Democrat collusion pipeline. Hillary got what she paid for by using Perkins-Coie LLC as the go between.
The report also shows that many so-called "Intelligence Professionals" like Stefan Halper are not much more than Grifters…
As previously stated, It should be perfectly clear by now the entire Russia hoax was a DNC operation that employed Federal Agency actors to perpetuate lies with false veneers of credibility in order to manipulate the results of the 2017 election.
The “Election Interference”’was not by Russia it was by Federal agents from bothe the CIA, FBI, and State Dept., with taxpayer funds and DNC lawyers.
People want to trust the FBI, they want to trust the Dept of State, and it is hard for some to come to believe that these agencies are filled with tools who are all working towards a shared political outcome, willing to lie or look the other way at obvious lies and contradictions to achieve that outcome.
