Clinton Campaign Spread Alfa Bank Ruse Throughout Obama Admin to Press Trump-Russia Probe

A Hillary Clinton campaign operation to plant a false rumor about Donald Trump setting up a “secret hotline” to Moscow through a Russian bank was much broader than known and involved multiple U.S. agencies, according to declassified documents and sources briefed on an ongoing criminal investigation of the scheme.

In addition to the FBI, the 2016 Clinton campaign tried to convince the Obama administration’s State Department, Justice Department and Central Intelligence Agency to look into the hoax, and continued pressing the issue even after Trump was inaugurated in January 2017.

The goal was to trigger federal investigative activity targeting her Republican rival and leak the damaging information to the media.

“The Clinton machine flooded the FBI with pressure from a number of angles until investigations of Trump were opened and reopened,” said one of the briefed sources who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive law enforcement matter. “The deception was wide-ranging.”

Special Counsel John Durham outlined the FBI part of the scheme in a felony indictment of Michael Sussmann. The former Clinton campaign lawyer was charged last month with making a false statement to the former general counsel of the FBI when he claimed he was not working “for any client” in bringing to the FBI’s attention allegations of a secret channel of communication between computer servers in Trump Tower and the Alfa Bank in Russia.

According to the indictment, Sussmann was in fact acting on behalf of clients including the Clinton campaign, and an unnamed tech executive who RCI has previously reported is Rodney L. Joffe, a regular adviser to the Biden White House on cybersecurity and infrastructure policies.

Internal emails reveal the Clinton operatives knew the links they made between Trump and Russia were “weak,” even describing them as a “red herring,” but fed them to investigators anyway.

After Sussmann’s meeting with the FBI in September 2016, the Clinton campaign approached the State Department the following month with the same lead, this time using paid Clinton campaign subcontractor Christopher Steele to feed the rumors. A former British intelligence officer, Steele was offered as a reliable source to help corroborate the rumors. On Oct. 11, 2016, Steele gave his contact at Foggy Bottom documents alleging that a supposed hidden server at Trump Tower was pinging Moscow.

Two days later, a State official who previously worked under former secretary Clinton funneled the information to the FBI’s then-top Eurasia/Russia counterintelligence official, Stephen Laycock, according to recently declassified notes and testimony. Laycock, in turn, forwarded the information to Peter Strzok, the FBI agent who led the investigation of Trump and his campaign and had just weeks earlier texted a bureau lawyer, “We’ll stop [Trump from being elected].”

“I informed Peter Strzok and another supervisor,” Laycock testified last year in a closed-door Senate hearing.

Washington Post Uncritically Publishes Far-Left Org’s Attack on Breitbart, Conservative Media, Facebook

The Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH), a far-left British think tank dedicated to pushing internet censorship, has attempted to frame Breitbart News as the leading pusher of “climate change denial” on Facebook, only to be shot down by Facebook itself over its “flawed” methodology.

The CCDH is tied to Hope Not Hate, an SPLC-like smear factory funded by George Soros. It also received funding from the Oak Foundation, a Switzerland-based eco-investment group that contributed $1 million to an initiative to make communist China’s Eurasia-spanning trade network, the Belt and Road initiative, more eco-friendly.

The biased conclusions of CCDH were published by the Bezos-owned Washington Post’s Cat Zakrzewski, uncritically, without any background on the organization’s far-left bent and ties to an organization supporting China’s bid for global dominance.

Beyond a skeptical comment from Facebook, there is also no attempt to interrogate the report’s methodology, which labels criticism of the Green New Deal as “climate denial.”

The report also attacks other conservative media for alleged “climate denial,” including the Media Research Center, Western Journal, the Washington Times, the Daily Wire, Newsmax, and Townhall.

Media Research Center president Brent Bozell slammed CCDH as “digital brownshirts” over the pro-censorship report.

“These anti-free speech bigots want to shut down anyone who dares to disagree with them.”

This is the latest component in a wider effort on the part of leftists inside and outside Facebook to have Breitbart News blacklisted by the social network.

The last attempt involved selective leaks to the Wall Street Journal from inside the company. It is unclear if the efforts are being coordinated.

The CCDH study, shared with the Washington Post, alleges that Breitbart News is the most influential of ten publishers on Facebook that publishes “climate change denial content” — and then goes on to claim that a writeup of a radio interviewee criticizing far-left congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s “Green New Deal” is “climate change denial.”

Virginia Democrat Caught Tampering With Campaign Signs by Police Hours Before Election

Virginia State Delegate Chris Hurst, a Democrat representing the Commonwealth’s 12th district, was pulled over by police less than 24 hours before the state’s Election Day after a deputy witnessed a woman taking campaign signs and getting into a car Hurst was driving.

Hurst was reportedly pulled over by police Monday evening in Radford, Virginia, after a deputy from the Radford Sheriff’s Office saw a woman, who has since been identified as Emily Frentewss, take out promotional signs displayed outside the town’s recreation center and then climb into the car that Hurst was driving, according to Radford Sheriff Mark Armentrout.

Police discovered that Hurst was driving the vehicle with a suspended license, and he was subsequently given a “driving while suspended” notification by a deputy, local news station WSLS reported.

Hurst assumed office in 2018 and is running for reelection to the Virginia House of Delegates to once again represent the 12th district.

The state lawmaker’s Republican opponent, Jason Ballard, stated in a Tuesday remark that the Monday night incident is “another excuse why [Hurst] does not deserve one other time period as delegate.”

“I’m deeply dissatisfied that Chris Hurst has determined to finish his marketing campaign in such a reckless method,” Ballard reportedly said.

This isn’t the first time that Hurst has been in the scope of the law. He was allegedly pulled over in Christiansburg in January 2020 for swerving, and underwent a blood-alcohol test that ended up being above the authorized limit.

The incident unfolded just hours before polls opened ahead of Virginia's Tuesday gubernatorial elections.

VIDEO: US Army Surgeon Says She ‘Had To Ground 3 Out Of 3’ Pilots One Morning Due To Vaccine Injuries

"The third pilot had been vaccinated and felt like he was drunk, chronically fatigued, within 24 hours after vaccination."

During a panel discussion surrounding vaccine mandates and injuries hosted by Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI), a US Army Surgeon said she had to “ground 3 out of 3 pilots” one morning due to vaccine injuries.

US Army Surgeon Theresa Long said she had to ground 3 pilots one morning due to vaccine injuries during a panel discussion hosted by Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI).

“The third pilot had been vaccinated and felt like he was drunk, chronically fatigued, within 24 hours of vaccination,” Long explained. “The pilot told me he didn’t know what to do, so he drank a lot of coffee to try and quote ‘wake himself up,’ and continued to fly until he realized it wasn’t going away.”

She explained that after alerting the vaccine injuries to her command, she was then told she would only be dealing with healthy patients from that point on.

“After I reported to my command my concerns that in one morning, I had to ground 3 out of 3 pilots due to vaccine injuries, the next day my patients were cancelled, my charts were pulled for review, and I was told that I would not be seeing acute patients anymore; just healthy pilots there for their flight physical,” Long said.

A new study lead by a Mayo Clinic doctor suggests that individuals who were injected with the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine are 3.5 times more likely to get Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis, a potentially fatal blood clot in the brain, as National File reported.

WebMD explains that CVST “is a type of rare blood clot that forms in the venous sinuses in your brain” that “can block the blood in your brain from draining out toward your heart” causing “a type of stroke” that “stems from internal bleeding.” The resource explains that “CVST can be life-threatening” and warns readers, “You’ll need immediate medical attention.”

Active duty military personnel have been mandated to receive one of the controversial vaccines or face an immediate end to their military career.
