Russiagate: The Smoking Gun, Part I

The initial shot was fired on July 24, 2016 by campaign manager Robby Mook, who was the first to claim there was a quid pro quo between Trump and Russia.

America media openly speculated on Trump's imminent arrest for treason, with Twitter aflutter with phrases like tik-tok, walls closing in, and the like.

The FBI's James Comey and CIA's John Brennan briefed the newly-elected Trump on the dossier simultaneously with the full contents spilling into the media.

We also now know the Clinton campaign, via one of its lawyers, Michael Sussmann, gathered Internet DNS data on Trump and used that to create a fully fictional story about Trump using a secret server connected to the Alfa Bank to communicate with his Russian "Handlers." Sussmann also peddled a false story about Russian smartphones connecting into the Trump White House.

Four years after all that, on October 6, 2020, Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe declassified documents revealing then-CIA Director John Brennan briefed then-President Obama on or about July 28, 2016 on Hillary Clinton's plan to tie Candidate Trump to Russia as a means of distracting the public from her use of a private email server.

The highly-redacted document says "We're getting additional insight into Russian activities from [REDACTED]. Cite alleged approved by Hillary Clinton on July 26 a proposal from one of her foreign policy advisers to vilify Donald Trump by stirring up a scandal claiming interference by the Russian security service."

Ratcliffe in 2020 also revealed in September 2016 the CIA forwarded to the FBI an investigative referral on Hillary Clinton approving "a plan concerning US presidential candidate Donald Trump and Russian hackers hampering US elections in order to distract the public from her email scandal."
