Unprecedented Criminal Referrals Target Top Officials
Explosive Referrals Spark Potential Prosecutions
CIA Director John Ratcliffe has submitted criminal referrals to the DOJ, accusing former CIA Director John Brennan and former FBI Director James Comey of making false statements to Congress. “Criminal referrals have been sent to the Department of Justice,” Ratcliffe told Fox News.
Durham Report and Clinton Allegations
These referrals build on Special Counsel John Durham’s 2023 report, which criticized the FBI’s handling of the Trump-Russia probe. Newly declassified documents allegedly show the Clinton campaign “plotted to frame President Trump and fabricate the Russia collusion hoax,” according to FBI Director Kash Patel.
Broad Scope, High Stakes
The referrals may involve Hillary Clinton and possibly former President Obama. Ratcliffe suggested the investigation could expose “abuse of power, election interference,” and more.
Justice and Fallout
Grand jury investigations are underway. Clinton, Comey, and Brennan deny wrongdoing, calling the accusations politically driven. The outcome could reshape “public understanding of events that dominated American politics for years.”
