FBI Director Kash Patel uncovers 2017 memo revealing political obstruction in the FBI’s 2016 probe into Hillary Clinton’s family foundation for possible pay-to-play corruption. Agents in NYC, Little Rock, and D.C. faced roadblocks from DOJ and FBI leadership. 🧵👇 Image
2/ The memo, written by a DOJ lawyer under James Comey, details how then-Deputy AG Sally Yates allegedly demanded agents “shut it down” during the 2016 election. Agents were investigating if Clinton’s foundation solicited millions from interests with business before her State Dept.Image
3/ Timeline shows DOJ signaled in Feb 2016 it wouldn’t support the FBI’s Clinton Foundation probe. Then-Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe ordered “no overt investigative steps” without his approval, a command he reportedly repeated multiple times. Image
4/ Agents in Little Rock, NYC, and D.C. faced ongoing obstacles. By March 2016, Yates allegedly told a federal prosecutor to “shut it down.” DOJ’s Southern and Eastern Districts of NY also refused to support the investigation, offering no explanation.
5/ The probe, sparked by allegations in Clinton Cash and corroborated financial reports, suggested foreign governments offered contributions to the Clinton Foundation for favorable treatment. Despite evidence, DOJ stalled the investigation past the 2016 election.
6/ McCabe, who oversaw the probe, didn’t recuse himself until Nov 1, 2016—days before the election. By then, political fallout from the investigation was neutralized. DOJ IG later found McCabe didn’t fully comply with his recusal.
7/ In contrast, the FBI’s Crossfire Hurricane probe into Trump-Russia ties was fast-tracked as a full investigation. Special Counsel John Durham noted the “stark” difference in how DOJ/FBI handled Clinton vs. Trump cases. Image
8/ Patel’s discovery comes as AG Pam Bondi approves a strike force and grand jury to investigate potential law enforcement abuses protecting Democrats like Clinton while targeting Trump and his supporters. Image
9/ Read the declassified timeline here: justthenews.com/sites/default/…
10/ The memo and emails reveal a pattern of interference, raising questions about political bias in the DOJ and FBI during the 2016 election.

Was Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign smear tying Trump to Putin just a political dirty trick, or a full-on criminal conspiracy? AG Pam Bondi’s DOJ strike force is now probing this, fueled by newly declassified bombshells from Durham’s 2023 report appendix. Thread: 🧵 1/7Image
Freshly unredacted Durham evidence reveals FBI was alerted in 2016 to intel showing Clinton’s campaign planned to vilify Trump with Russia ties to dodge her email scandal heat. Bondi’s team is zeroing in: Did this cross into criminal territory? 2/7 🧵Image
Newly declassified “Clinton Plan intelligence” points to intercepted comms from George Soros ally Leonard Benardo and Clinton advisor Julianne Smith, suggesting the campaign banked on FBI amplifying the Trump-Russia narrative. Benardo denies the messages; Smith can’t recall but doesn’t deny a role. 3/7 🧵Image

Declassified docs expose the Clinton-Obama Russia hoax conspiracy! Hillary’s campaign, with Obama’s blessing, faked Trump-Russia ties to dodge her email scandal. The truth is OUT, and it’s bigger than Watergate.
🧵 2/8 On July 31, 2025, Sen. Grassley dropped Durham’s annex proving Clinton approved a plan on July 26, 2016, to smear President Trump with fake Russia links. FBI’s Crossfire Hurricane launched 5 days later, based on her funded Steele dossier.Image
🧵 3/8: Hacked emails from Soros’s Open Society, assessed as authentic, show Clinton aide Julianne Smith plotting to “demonize Putin and Trump.” They predicted the FBI would “put oil on the fire.” Obama, Biden, Brennan, Comey knew on Aug 3, 2016Image

BREAKING 🧵 1/7: Sen. Chuck Grassley just dropped the declassified Durham annex, exposing the Clinton campaign’s plot to frame Trump with fake Russia ties in 2016! Docs confirm FBI knew and played along to push the hoax.Image
🧵 2/7 The Durham annex reveals a July 2016 memo from a foreign ally’s intel chief warning CIA about Clinton’s plan to “stir up” a false Trump-Russia scandal. Approved by Clinton, it aimed to distract from her email server mess.Image
🧵 3/7 CIA’s Brennan briefed Obama, Biden, and Comey on this intel in Aug 2016, noting Clinton’s goal to vilify Trump with fake Russia claims. Yet, FBI’s Crossfire Hurricane probe ignored this and chased the Steele Dossier lies.Image

BREAKING🚨: DNI Gabbard drops explosive declassified docs exposing a 6-year battle by an IC whistleblower to reveal the Russia collusion hoax. Docs detail pressure to endorse false 2017 ICA findings, ignored reports to officials, and Obama admin’s use of discredited intel to undermine President Trump’s 2016 win. 🧵 1/6Image
🧵2/6 The whistleblower, a senior intel official, faced intense pushback while trying to expose manipulated intelligence in the 2017 ICA. Their supervisor pressured them to back false claims about Russia supporting Trump—even tying it to a promotion. The whistleblower refused, citing lack of evidence.
🧵 3/6 The 2017 ICA, ordered by Obama, used flawed practices like cherry-picking Russian media as “proof” of Trump support while ignoring anti-Trump foreign media, including from NATO allies. The whistleblower called out this bias but was ignored by multiple gov’t offices, including the IC Inspector General.Image

🧵 1/8 Seven details revealed in newly released MLK files

Texas man claimed early encounter with MLK's killer

One Texas man, Joseph Meyer, told investigators that he may have seen MLK's killer in Mississippi two weeks prior to the killing.

A report on his comments to police said he encountered a man firing a rifle into a tree while on a fishing trip with his son.Image
2/8 The CIA monitored Cuba's response to MLK's death

The CIA compiled a five-page report on Cuba's response to MLK's assassination, including reports from Cuban independent and state-controlled media.

The report shows that Granma, the official newspaper for Cuba's communist party, highlighted the violence and riots that took place in the wake of MLK's death.

The report also highlighted Cuban radio outlets and others amplifying calls for violence from certain "black power" activists. One such message came from Stokely Carmichael, who urged Black Americans to "arm ourselves with rifles and pistols and launch an assault on the streets of the cities of the United States."Image
3/8 Man who threatened to kill MLK snuck into one of his press conferences

An FBI report included in the release says that a man threatened to murder MLK during a May 1967 appearance in Wisconsin.

The FBI said they received a call from an anonymous male vowing to "put a bullet through KING's head." Investigators determined that man to be Theodore Adank, with local police saying he was a possible mental case who could have capabilities of committing violence.

Investigators returned to interview Adank in the days after MLK's death, but they uncovered no connection to the assassination. READ: static.foxnews.com/foxnews.com/co…Image

🧵1/8: SMOKE AND MIRRORS - Adam Schiff, Habitual Russia, Russia, Russia Peddler - Gets an A for consistency- too bad it’s consistent LIES:

Of course, Adam Schiff is out here today banging on about the firing of Maurene Comey (James Comey's daughter), his old Russia hoax ally. And 3 hours ago, he posted about the irony of Trump-world conspiracy theories now backfiring on him, with media facing similar extortionary pressures that Trump used to extract settlements from ABC and CBS. Still mocking "conspiracies" instead of owning his lies. Oh, the irony of the irony. 🙃

He's, of course, silent on DNI Gabbard's bombshell declass last night: Obama officials BURIED intel showing Russia DIDN'T interfere, then manufactured fake assessments post-election to frame Trump.

Since he's deflecting from the real hoax, let's flashback to Schiff's "evidence" of collusion—pure BS that divided America for years.

Thread 🧵

x.com/dnigabbard/sta…
2/8 Just yesterday, Schiff doubled down in this video statement reacting to President Trump's threats of prosecution.

He proudly referenced his "work on the investigation of Donald Trump connected to Russia" as valid oversight, with zero regret or revision.

“For years, really beginning with my work on the investigation of Donald Trump connected to Russia… Donald Trump has threatened to investigate me, prosecute me… accused me falsely of engaging in a variety of crimes.”

FALSELY? The man who spent 4 years lying about "evidence" he never had thinks HE'S the victim? He’s still portraying his hoax-pushing as heroic.

Classic Schiff.
3/8: March 2017: THE BIG LIE BEGINS 🚨

Schiff told Chuck Todd on MSNBC's "Meet the Press Daily" there was "more than circumstantial evidence" of Trump-Russia collusion.

"Actually no, Chuck. I can tell you that the case is more than that. And I can't go into the particulars, but there is more than circumstantial evidence now… I don't want to go into specifics, but I will say that there is evidence that is not circumstantial and is very much worthy of investigation."

This was the moment. This kicked off years of division—and ZERO evidence ever surfaced.

He had NOTHING but sold America a lie from DAY ONE.
