Here Are the Senior Biden Officials Entangled in Durham's Criminal Russiagate Probe

Several individuals connected to a 2016 Hillary Clinton campaign plot to cast Donald Trump as a covert Kremlin collaborator are working in high-level jobs within the Biden administration

  • including at least two senior Biden appointees cited by Special Counsel John Durham in his "active (and) ongoing" criminal investigation of the scheme.
  • Jake Sullivan, who now serves as Biden's national security adviser, and Caroline Krass, a top lawyer at the Pentagon, were involved in efforts in 2016 and 2017 to advance the Clinton campaign's false claims about Trump through the media and the federal government.

Republicans vow to investigate if they regain power

  • Top Republican on the House Intelligence Committee pledges to hold hearings and issue subpoenas to get to the bottom of “Russiagate”
  • Referred to Special Counsel’s Office at least a dozen cases of potential perjury involving former Clinton campaign officials and Obama administration officials who have testified behind closed doors on Russiagate

Krass allegedly told Sussmann she would consider the information for inclusion in the intelligence review of alleged Russian interference in the election that Obama had ordered at the time.

  • The ICA became a foundational document for subsequent Trump-Russia probes and has been used by Democrats and the media to suggest the 2016 election was stolen from Clinton.

The FBI exhibited a similar lack of curiosity when Sussmann reported the false Trump-Alfa Bank connection

  • However, like FBI brass, Krass and her boss at the time, CIA chief Brennan, were aware of Clinton campaign efforts to portray Trump as a Kremlin agent
  • As legal adviser to Brennan, she was involved in the referral her boss made to the FBI in 2016 to open a counterespionage case

The referral, known as a counterintelligence operational lead (CIOL), was sent to Comey, who in turn forwarded it to then-FBI counterintelligence official Peter Strzok to investigate.

  • The purpose of the CIOL was not to investigate the Clinton campaign's dirty tricks but to run a counter-spying probe to see if the Russians had penetrated the Clinton camp
  • Greer opined that there's nothing illegal about what Clinton did to Trump

Durham is actively investigating this CIA front

  • His grand jury has interviewed at least eight current and former CIA employees, and he is seeking out other agency employees who may have attended the meeting with Sussmann.
  • Meanwhile, Judicial Watch is suing the CIA for all its records of contacts with the Clinton campaign attorney under the Freedom of Information Act.

The Clinton campaign operation to tar Trump continued even after the election

  • In February 2017, Sullivan met with Daniel Jones, a former FBI analyst and Democratic staffer on the Hill, whose goal was to reignite the investigation and put Trump's fledgling presidency under a cloud of suspicion.
  • Sullivan secretly huddled with Jones and his partners at FusionGPS, an opposition research firm that worked for the Clinton campaign, to hatch the post-election plan to resurrect rumors Trump was a tool of the Kremlin.

Jones reached out to old bureau colleagues to pass on supposedly fresh leads, and the FBI looked into the new leads

  • While Sullivan went on national media to give the impression there was still something to the rumors
  • In a March 2017 interview with CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer, Sullivan discussed a story leaked to CNN by unnamed sources that the FBI was continuing to investigate the rumors of "a secret hotline between Trump and Russia."

In October 2018, TDIP blasted out an email to top Washington journalists with the subject line, "TDIP News Brief," which attempted to keep the Alfa Bank hoax alive.

  • The three-page bulletin, a copy of which was obtained by RCI, rehashed the alleged "connections between a computer server associated with the Trump Organization and servers associated with Russia's Alfa bank." It speculated Democrats would subpoena information from "the server in question" if they regained control of Congress in the midterm elections the following month.

Gary Gensler to head the SEC

  • Previously served as chief financial officer for Hillary Clinton’s 2016 election team
  • Fined the Clinton campaign and DNC for violating campaign finance laws
  • More than $1 million of the $4.6 million spent on opposition research against Trump was for “legal advice and services”
  • Investigators will need to continue following the money trail

Melissa Hodgman is married to disgraced former FBI official Peter Strzok

  • As adviser to the head of the SEC's enforcement division, Hodgman currently is helping oversee an investigation into Trump's social media start-up, Truth Social
  • The SEC reportedly wants to know more about merger talks between Trump's parent company and Digital World Acquisition Corp.

Patel warned that too many of the people who "abused their power" in the Russiagate conspiracy to frame Trump have returned to power

  • Many of these people must be held accountable or they will not be able to hide their crimes from the FBI and the American people.
