CIA Director Ratcliffe Hints Indictments for Brennan, Comey, Clinton Over Russiagate Hoax

CIA Director John Ratcliffe has indicated that criminal referrals concerning former Obama administration officials, including John Brennan, James Clapper, James Comey, and potentially Hillary Clinton, could lead to future indictments over the so-called Russiagate hoax. Ratcliffe emphasized that both he and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard have made referrals to the Department of Justice, aiming to hold accountable those who allegedly conspired to manufacture and politicize intelligence against President Donald Trump following his 2016 election victory. He described the ongoing investigation as a pursuit of transparency and justice, rejecting claims that it is motivated by political vengeance. Ratcliffe further noted that the conspiracy may still be ongoing, which could affect statutes of limitations and justify continued legal scrutiny. The administration portrays this effort as responding to the American people's demand for accountability and as a means to deter such actions in the future. These comments reflect the Trump administration's broader narrative challenging the origins and legitimacy of the Russiagate investigation.
