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.

🧵Look past the language of Trump trying to "control" elections, and you see that DHS and DOJ are hard at work trying to clean up our elections.
Reuters uncovered a broader‑than‑previously known Trump administration effort to gain federal control over elections, historically run locally, in at least eight states – using investigations, raids and demands for access to balloting systems and voter ID."
Here's where Reuters gets the language of "control" from. It's understandable, but it's also hyperbole—hyperbole that Trump also uses, so fair is fair.
About one third of the way into the article, Reuters admits Trump isn't really trying to implement a federal takeover of elections.
"Rather than seek a sweeping federal takeover of elections, the administration appears to be testing constitutional limits one state and one county at a time"
Steve Baker, Joseph Hanneman, and their company Veritas Regnat LLC have failed to respond to the libel and slander lawsuit brought against them over their erroneous claims that former Capitol Police officer Shauni Kerkhoff was responsible for the J5 Pipe Bombs.
The judge has ordered the clerk to file an entry of default against them and for the plaintiffs to file a motion for default judgment. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
Blaze Media, which was also sued, has filed an unopposed motion for more time to respond to the suit. The judge gave them until June 11, 2026.
In public responses to the lawsuit, Baker has put on a "bring it on!" act, as if he were eager to fight it, to show what evidence he supposedly has, and to use the discovery process to expose some conspiracy to frame Brian J. Cole for the J5 pipe bombs when all along it was Shauni Kerkhoff who planted them as part of a sinister "fedsurrection" plot... or something.
Plaintiff Kerkhoff, who is suing Blaze Media, Steve Baker, Joseph Hanneman, and their company Veritas Regnet for falsely accusing Kerkhoff of being the J5 Pipe Bomber, has filed for a default against Steve Baker, as he has failed to respond to the lawsuit.
🧵Media doesn't like it when the DOJ and the FBI get the green light from POTUS and the AG to prosecute people who compromise national security and then hide behind the 1A.
"The stack of news articles Trump provided the acting attorney general was about [MIL] rescue operations"
"Blanche vowed to secure subpoenas specifically targeting the records of reporters who have worked on sensitive national security stories..."
"In recent months, prosecutors have sent subpoenas to media organizations as well as to email and phone providers seeking information in leak inquiries"
DOJ Investigators Gain Access to Fulton's 2020 Election Records as County is Hit w/ New Subpoenas
Lawfare efforts from Abbe Lowell, Norm Eisen, and Fulton County had halted the DOJ’s review of the seized records—some 600 boxes of materials from the 2020 Election.
A federal court has now ruled in favor of the DOJ.
On January 28, 2026, the FBI raided a storage facility in Fulton County, Georgia, to seize records related to the 2020 election. The raid was conducted pursuant to several search warrants arising from a criminal probe into the 2020 election.
That probe is being led by Thomas Albus, the United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Missouri and Special Counsel to the Attorney General.
During the raid, the FBI collected more than 600 boxes of records, including tabulator receipts, ballots, envelopes, digital records, and other materials.
Days later, the Fulton County Board of Registration and Elections filed legal action seeking (1) to stop the DOJ from reviewing the seized materials and (2) a court order requiring the records to be returned.
These motions came in addition to two other legal actions already underway before the raid: one in the Superior Court of Fulton County and another in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia.
High-powered attorneys Abbe Lowell and Norm Eisen joined Fulton County in this lawfare effort.
🧵This VA Supreme Court Opinion is straight fire for ~30 pages.
"From Madison’s era to the present, political parties of every stripe have offered if-by-whiskey arguments supporting partisan gerrymandering."
"Virginians voted by a wide margin [in 2020] to reform the redistricting process in the Commonwealth in an effort to end partisan gerrymandering."
"Under the 2020 amendment, if this bipartisan commission could not reach a consensus, the responsibility to achieve the amendment’s ultimate goal — ridding political partisanship as much as possible from the redistricting task — would become the constitutional responsibility of the Supreme Court of Virginia."
