Investigative Referral of Possible Clinton Campaign Plan
Late July 2016, U.S. intel “obtains insight” into Russian intel analysis that alleges a Clinton Plan to frame Trump for collusion with Russia
CIA Director Brennan briefs President Obama
(Note: Crossfire Hurricane begins just days later on July 30 2016)
An investigative referral is made by the CIA a month later on September 7, 2016 and forwarded to Comey and Strzok
Special Counsel Durham (referred to as The Office in this report) considered the Clinton Plan Intelligence relevant for two reasons:
1. It “arguably suggested that private actors affiliated with the Clinton campaign were seeking in 2016 to promote a false or exaggerated narrative to the public and to U.S. government agencies…”
“The Clinton Plan Intelligence prompted the Office to consider”
-Was there a plan?
-If there was, did it involved “intentionally [providing] knowingly false and/or misleading information to the FBI or other agencies in furtherance of such a plan”
*cough* CONSPIRACY *cough* RICO *cough*
2. The Clinton Plan was interested Durham because “it was part of the mosaic of information that became known to certain U.S. officials at or before the time they made critical decisions” re: Crossfire Hurricane and in related LE and intel efforts.
“Put another way, this intelligence—taken at face value—was arguably highly relevant and exculpatory because it could be read in fuller context, and in combination with other facts, to suggest that the materials such as the Steele Dossier reports and Alfa Bank allegations… were part of a political effort to smear [Trump] and use the resources of the federal government’s law enforcement and intelligence agencies in support of a political objective.”
Conditions for bringing charges:
“if there was an intent by the Clinton campaign or its personnel to knowingly provide false information to the government—would such conduct potentially support criminal charges.
It was unknown, at the time, how accurate the Clinton Plan intel was.
Durham “endeavored to investigate the basis for, and credibility of, this intelligence…”
“The Classified Appendix to this report provides further information about (i) the details of the Clinton Plan intelligence; (ii) facts that heightened the potention relevance to [The Office]; and (iii) the Office’s efforts to verify or refute the key claims found in the intelligence.”
“As described more fully in the Classified Appendix, there were specific indications and additional facts that heightened the potential relevance of this intelligence to [Durham]. (!!!!!!!)
Also, spot the statement that “U.S. officials described the Clinton Plan intelligence in various was in their officials notes and documents.”!!
The CIA official who received the Clinton Plan intelligence “immediately recognized its importance” and “acted quickly to make CIA leadership aware of it.”
Durham got “Brennan’s office holdings”
Now Ratcliffe, Gabbard, Patel, and Bondi have them!
July 28, 2016
CIA Director Brennan meets with President Obama and other White House personnel re: "intelligence relevant to the 2016 presidential election" and
"creation of an inter-agency Fusion Cell to synthesize and analyze intelligence" related to 2016 election influence by Russia.
Brennan meets with FBI Director Comey the next day.
Brennan, who was interviewed by Durham for approx eight hours in August 2020, couldn't remember when he saw the Clinton Plan intel, but "he did not think he had the information when he spoke to Comey" on July 29, 2016.
"Immediately after" conferring with Obama, Comey, and Clapper, "Brennan and other agency officials" take steps to control (silo) the "Russian election interference intelligence, including the Clinton Plan intelligence"
"Email traffic and witness interviews conducted by [Durham] reflect that at least some CIA personnel believed that the Clinton Plan intelligence led to the decision being made to set up a Fusion Cell."
Instead of properly investigating, verifying, or falsifying it, they siloed it into the Fusion Cell.
The complete opposite of what was done with the Steele Dossier—which some of these same people knew was Clinton oppo research.
With the Clinton Plan intel now highly classified, unverified, and safely siloed in the Fusion Cell of select staffing from various agencies, Brennan meets with others in the White House on August 3, 2016 and briefs them on it.
Crossfire Hurricane, the vehicle for the Clinton Plan, is already underway.
FBI learns of the Clinton Plan sometime before August 22, 2016.
A cyber analyst at the FBI sent an email regarding the Clinton Plan on that date to SIA Auten and Section Chief Moffa, and also to the Crossfire team...
Apparently no one responded or took action on it.
Ten days later, the guy running the Fusion Cell verbally briefs Auten, Moffa, and other FBI persons at HQ re: the Clinton Plan intel.
Crossfire Hurricane folks were (apparently) not included in the discussion.
This chat occurred because the CIA was about to send an official investigative referral based on the Clinton Plan intelligence!
This was a heads-up, FYSA, from the Fuson Cell to FBI-HQ.
On the same day or shortly prior to it, FBI Asst Director for Counterintel Bill Priestap pens notes on the Clinton Plan intel.
He's just been briefed by Moffa, Corsi, and Sporre.
Durham wanted to know more about this meeting, but ole' Bill refused to meet with him.
Perhaps Kash, Bongino, and Bondi can get Bill to have a chit-chat with them.
The CIA sends the investigative referral to the FBI five days later—September 7, 2016—and they address it to Comey and Strzok.
NO ONE WHO MET WITH DURHAM COULD RECALL RECEIVING THIS REFERRAL.
And no one could remember doing a damn thing about it.
As September came to a close, Comey, Clapper, and other high ranking NatSec officials receaved ANOTHER intelligence product on Russian interference in the 2016 election... which included the Clinton Plan Intelligence.
Apparently, it was ignored/neglected as well.
Perhaps we’ll soon get to see that document, the Classifed Annex of the Durham Report and other key documents as @CIADirector @DNIGabbard @FBIDirectorKash @FBIDDBongino @AGPamBondi and @realDonaldTrump continue to declass, make disclosures, investigate where it is “properly predicated and necessary”, and as they Make America and the agencies, bureaus, and departments who protect her, Great Again.

The usual suspects are gearing up to fight the DOJ probe into Fulton County, this time as regards the grand jury subpoena for records of employees and volunteers who worked the 2020 election.
On April 20, 2026, the FBI served a subpoena to the Fulton County Board of Registration and Elections for information concerning individuals who worked the 2020 elections in Fulton. (see red box in pic.)
Fulton had until May 5, 2026, to comply but on April 29 asked for a 14-day extension.
🧵United States v. Southern Poverty Law Center, Inc.
NEW SUPERSEDING INDICTMENT
Same charges as in the original indictment:
6 Counts of Wire Fraud
4 Counts of False Statements Bank
1 Count of Conspiracy to Commit Money Laundering
Forfeiture
Adds new info to strengthen those charges.
Recall that the theory of this case is that the SPLC solicited donations and told donors that their contributions would be used to "dismantle" violent extremist groups.
But, unbeknownst to those donors, some of the money (millions) went to funding individuals in those groups who then used the money to promote the groups' activities and message.
The SPLC for decades ran a paid informant network that at times took direction from leadership at the SPLC.
This created a circumstance (or setup) where the SPLC, who according to their own website, literature, public-facing resources, and messaging, was working to "take down" these violent extremist groups, was instead directing and paying those same violent extremists to do violent and extreme things.
Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control is abbreviated as OFAC, but when folks get administrative subpoenas from them, they often mispronounce the acronym.
According to CodePink co-founder Medea Benjamin, the email from OFAC was sent to the other co-founder, Jodie Evans's, spam folder.
OFAC is seeking a lot of information from Codepink regarding their visit to Cuba.
"Approximately 170 people participated in the convoy and suggested the scope of the inquiry could require organizers to account for the activities of every participant."
It is not known when Rush stopped working for the CIA or why, but we know from the affidavit that he requested and received "a significant quantity of foreign currency and tens of millions of dollars in gold bars for work-related expenses" between November 2025 and March 2026.
So his employment must have run at least until then.
At some point, I'm guessing between March and early May, the CIA began an investigation/review of what Rush was up to.
They were "unable to locate the gold bars or significant amounts of the foreign currency Rush received pursuant to his requests or to identify the intended use of these funds."
The "data center hysteria" is largely a repacking of the "climate change hysteria."
The hysteria is fueled, in part, by bad data, lack of perspective, and influence operations that lead with emotional bait.
Like the 20th-century predictions of climate catastrophes, it is another form of anti-capitalism (pro-communism) propaganda meant to capture your mind through fear.
A teachable moment.
In 2025, a left-wing anti-AI author, Karen Hao, published her non-fiction book 'Empire of AI: Dreams and Nightmares in Sam Altman's OpenAI.'
It's done very well. A NYT bestseller and winner of multiple awards, the book received much praise.
Anti-AI and anti-data center sentiments, which go hand in hand, are now mainstream, and this book boosted them there.
You may have noticed the uptick in opposition to both.
Sometimes the angle of surveillance, aka "Big Brother," is also included.
