When Bartiromo asked whether these referrals could lead to actual indictments, Ratcliffe didn’t blink. His answer was clear: accountability is on the table.
“What I think I hear you saying is, there is still an opportunity for potential indictments, potential prosecutions, accountability from those people who may have lied under oath,” she said. Ratcliffe didn’t dispute it.
This isn’t a hollow threat. It’s part of a growing push to bring consequences for the now-debunked “Crossfire Hurricane” investigation—a multi-year, multi-agency operation that accused Trump of conspiring with Russia during the 2016 election. That narrative collapsed after not one, but two special counsels concluded there was zero evidence of collusion.
Now, the focus has turned to those who fueled the hoax in the first place.
Alongside Gabbard’s referrals, a task force made up of high-level intelligence officials is reviewing the potential for charges against several Obama-era heavyweights: Hillary Clinton, James Comey, former CIA Director John Brennan, and ex-DNI James Clapper.
And the firepower behind these referrals is growing.
Recently uncovered documents—hidden in a classified annex and brought to light last month—paint a damning picture. The files indicate that Clinton gave her personal stamp of approval to efforts by her team to smear Trump using false Russian ties. Even worse, it appears these efforts leveraged the prestige of U.S. intelligence resources—without any hard proof.
A smoking gun may have surfaced in an email from Leonard Bernardo, who worked as regional director for Eurasia at the George Soros-funded Open Society Foundations in 2016.
WATCH:
“HRC approved Julia’s idea about Trump and Russian hackers hampering U.S. elections,” Bernardo allegedly wrote. “That should distract people from her own missing email, especially if the affair goes to the Olympic level.”
This revelation is raising new concerns about the extent to which political operators weaponized trusted institutions to distract from Clinton’s own controversies—including her infamous deleted emails scandal.
But the potential plot thickens.
According to special counsel John Durham, Russian hackers also breached the servers of the Open Society Foundations during this period. The implication? That Clinton’s allies not only spread disinformation but may have exploited compromised intel from a foreign hack to shape public opinion.
The documents contained in the annex suggest the goal wasn’t truth—it was to bury Clinton’s email problem and entangle Trump in a fabricated mess right before the election.
Earlier this month, Tulsi Gabbard herself laid out the administration’s view in a searing public statement. She accused Clinton, Comey, Clapper, Brennan—and yes, even Obama—of orchestrating a campaign to sabotage Trump as he entered office by leaking unverified claims of Russian collusion.
“That should distract people from her own missing email,” Bernardo’s quote chillingly read—perhaps saying the quiet part out loud.
Despite years of cover-up and denial, the pieces are now coming together. And with a third round of referrals in the pipeline, the message from Ratcliffe and Gabbard is unmistakable:
Justice delayed doesn’t mean justice denied.
Stay tuned. The swamp may finally be draining.
