FBI Withholds Evidence on Clinton, Obama Since 2018: Grassley, Crawford

Recent declassified documents and congressional investigations have revealed significant controversies surrounding the handling of the 2016 election intelligence assessments and the Hillary Clinton email investigation. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley and House Intelligence Committee Chairman Rick Crawford have demanded the FBI review unexamined evidence related to the Clinton email scandal, including classified materials stored since 2018. Meanwhile, newly released intelligence committee reports, declassified by Director Tulsi Gabbard, implicate former President Barack Obama in directing the politicization of the intelligence community to produce a misleading assessment on Russian election interference aimed at undermining President Donald Trump's first term. The reports criticize CIA Director John Brennan for ignoring analysts’ conclusions that contradicted the narrative of Russian assistance to Trump, and further expose Brennan’s misleading statements to Congress regarding the intelligence assessment process. These revelations have fueled claims that the Russia-collusion narrative was a politically motivated psyop orchestrated by Obama’s administration, with intelligence community members allegedly sidelined or pressured to conform. Together, these developments highlight deep concerns over political interference and investigative integrity within U.S. intelligence and law enforcement agencies during and after the 2016 election.
