Trump CIA chief: Brennan, Comey and Hillary Clinton could face indictment

CIA Director John Ratcliffe said he made referrals to the Justice Department for former Obama administration officials following the release of intelligence information about the 2016 election.

Ratcliffe said former CIA Director John Brennan, former Director of National Intelligence (DNI) James Clapper and former FBI Director James Comey could all face charges relating to what he called a “hoax” about the election.

Current DNI Tulsi Gabbard released two sets of documents about the 2016 election last week.

The files reveal little new information about Russia’s much-studied efforts to influence the 2016 election, but Republicans have nonetheless claimed the intelligence reviews were designed to cast doubt on Trump’s victory. The documents do not undercut a central conclusion: that Russia lunched a massive campaign with the hopes of influencing the contest.

John Solomon was a big shot there, wrote numerous articles about 'Stop the Steal."

It's a smokescreen to sweep Epstein Gate under the carpet.

The rag where John Solomon worked, the guy who posted numerous articles about the 2020 election being rigged.
This is why I don't always post a link, I want people to know what I post is my opinion.

Jesus, The Hill.
