Ratcliffe: Statute of limitations may not protect Obama admin officials from potential Russiagate charges

 Potential Charges Against Obama and Officials

- CIA Director John Ratcliffe stated that the statute of limitations may not prevent charges against former President Barack Obama and key officials.

- Ratcliffe emphasized that the statute does not start until the last act of the conspiracy is completed.

- He noted that those involved continue to deny their actions in 2016 and 2020.

Investigation Oversight and Accusations

- Ratcliffe will leave investigations to Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel.

- The drive to charge Obama and officials was renewed after DNI Tulsi Gabbard's briefing on July 18.

- Gabbard accused key figures, including Obama and former intelligence heads, of planning the "Russia Hoax" post-2016 election victory.

Intelligence Assessments and Allegations

- Gabbard mentioned a 2016 assessment stating Russia lacked intent and capability to interfere, which was allegedly contradicted by a new assessment directed by Obama.

- She described the actions as a "treasonous conspiracy" to undermine democracy and has sent documents to the Department of Justice for prosecution.

Release of New Evidence

- Ratcliffe noted that new intelligence and evidence, previously hidden, is now coming to light.

- He indicated that a classified document from Special Counsel John Durham’s investigation into the FBI's actions will be released soon.

- Ratcliffe highlighted inconsistencies between testimonies of officials and the soon-to-be-declassified intelligence.
