Report confirms there was a ‘Russia, Russia, Russia,’ only it involved DEMOCRATS

The Democrats for years pushed a “Russia, Russia, Russia” conspiracy theory against President Donald Trump.

Evidence suggests it originated with Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign and was an attempt to damage Trump by linking him to Russia. The goal also was to distract the American public from Clinton’s scandal that involved putting national secrets on an unsecured and private email server she set up in her home.

Of course, the claims were investigated, for years, causing constant headaches for Trump in his first term in office, and ultimately found to place no fault on Trump.

But now a new report posted at the Federalist suggests there was a Russia connection, for the Democrats.

It involves two Russian-language documents recently declassified, translated and made public through the work of U.S. Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, who has been seeking such information already for years.

The documents, translated from Russian by the FBI, apparently are “discussing purported communications between the then-chair of the Democratic National Committee, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, and individuals working for Soros’ Open Society Foundation,” the report said.

One document, translated, said, “Recent information appearing in the media about the FBI investigating possible facts of corruption connected with the State Department and the granting of preferences to Clinton Fund donors created a negative reaction within the party, though this information was known to Democratic Party leaders since June 2015. According to Wassermann Schultz [sic], so far the FBI does not have any hard evidence against Hillary Clinton because data was removed from the mail servers just in time.”

Another said, “By way of forming a consensus relative to the candidacy of Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, leading the Democratic Party (DP), sanctioned use of all administrative levers to remove possibly negative effects of the FBI investigation of the business of the Clinton Foundation and the email correspondence of the State Department.”

The report explained how the protection worked for Clinton: “The Obama-Biden Administration prevented agents investigating Hillary Clinton from reviewing some eight thumb drives of intel based on purported concerns over executive and congressional privilege, newly released documents reveal. This reality renders last month’s revelation that the Biden Administration approved Special Counsel Jack Smith’s subpoenaing of congressional Republicans’ toll records even more appalling — and the Democrats’ weaponization of the criminal justice system even more obvious and outrageous.”

The documents released by Grassley also showed work “by the Obama Administration and DOJ and FBI holdovers under Trump 1.0 to obstruct the investigation into the Clinton Foundation.”

That included a December 31, 2020, email from Cody Hiland, who then was U.S. attorney in Arkansas, to Jonathan Ross, Hiland’s assistant for a time, to describe the obstruction the duo faced while attempting to investigate the Clinton Foundation.

Hiland called it a “bizarre” situation.

“We’ve done what we can about the interference by DOJ and FBI leadership at the time with the FBI’s investigation,” Hiland wrote after Biden’s 2020 election.

The Federalist said, “In addition to that email, the document cache Grassley released last week revealed extensive obstruction into the investigation into Hillary Clinton first by the Obama Administration, but also continuing into Trump’s first term.”

Key was Hiland’s concern that the Deep State was concealing classified details.

Those details, ultimately revealed, showed “misconduct in the FBI’s handling of its Midyear Exam investigation into Clinton’s mishandling of classified documents,” the report said.

Grassley confirmed the now-released information revealed “an extreme lack of effort and due diligence in the FBI’s investigation of former Secretary Clinton’s email usage and mishandling of highly classified information.”

Grassley charged under then-FBI chief James Comey, “the FBI failed to perform fundamental investigative work and left key pieces of evidence on the cutting room floor.”

In fact, those newly released pages of evidence “detailed how a ‘source known as T1’ provided the FBI eight thumb drives of data, which included material hacked from the Executive Office of the President, the State Department, the U.S. House of Representatives, various federal agencies, as well as some non-profit organizations, such as George Soros’ Open Society Foundation and the Atlantic Council. T1 later provided the FBI additional data, referred to in the Clinton Annex as ‘Post-8 data.'”

That’s where the “purported communications between the then-chair of the Democratic National Committee, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, and individuals working for Soros’ Open Society Foundation,” the report said.

“Shocking,” the report said, was the Obama decision to bar the FBI from comprehensively reviewing the thumb drive evidence, even though it was demanding access to congressional phone records in his pursuit of something to use against Trump.

“So, not only did the Obama and Biden Administration go to great lengths to protect Hillary Clinton, they went to unconstitutional lengths to get Trump,” the report said.
