The Durham report on the Crossfire Hurricane investigation included an Appendix or Annex that was classified. It has been declassified at the request of Senator Chuck Grassley, and Grassley released the materials earlier today. You can read Grassley’s press release here and the documents here.
Grassley’s release is titled “Newly Declassified Appendix To Durham Report Sheds Additional Light On Clinton Campaign Plan To Falsely Tie Trump To Russia And FBI’s Failure To Investigate.” His release summarizes some of the contents. They come in part from Russian intelligence communications evidently intercepted by our intelligence services. The Russians apparently got them by hacking into servers used by George Soros’s Open Society Foundation.
The memos indicate that the Russian collusion hoax was hatched by the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign to distract attention from her private email server scandal. The idea, according to the memos, originated with foreign policy adviser Julianne Smith. It is notable that, when reached by the New York Post, Smith declined to comment on today’s document release.
The documents further indicate that the Clinton campaign’s plan dates to early 2016, and that the FBI was aware of it before the Bureau opened the Crossfire Hurricane investigation. Here is one of several explosive excerpts. Lenny is Leonard Benardo, Senior Vice President of Soros’s Open Society Foundation, Julie is Julianne Smith. The date is July 25, 2016:
Interesting that a week before the Crossfire Hurricane investigation was launched, Soros’s organization believed it knew what the FBI was going to do.
