More documents are being released about Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton and other power players in America's Democrat Party and this time a newly declassified "annex" to special counsel John Durham's 2023 report confirms the FBI was complicit in Clinton's scheme to falsely tie President Donald Trump to Russia during the 2016 race.
The plan was hatched in order to divert public attention from Clinton's email scandal, where she put national secrets on an unsecured computer server she had set up, documents confirm.
The FBI at the time got "intelligence" that Clinton's operatives planned for media and FBI-linked cybersecurity firms "to plant and amplify the false narrative," explains a report in the Washington Examiner.
One Clinton ally even stated, during the conversations about the scheme, that "the FBI will put more oil into the fire."
Another, the report confirmed, said, "[Hillary Clinton] approved the idea about Trump and Russian hackers hampering U.S. elections" to divert the public attention from her own scandals.
Leftist media corporations across America joined in the agenda.
The annex of documents, 24 pages, was declassified on the orders of Senate Judiciary Committee chief Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa.
The report describes the orchestration of events at the time as "one of the most serious episodes of political weaponization in modern intelligence history."
Already, disclosures from CIA chief John Ratcliffe and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard show the scheming by Obama, Biden, Clinton and others, James Clapper, James Comey, John Brennan, and the Clinton agenda to claim, falsely, Trump's campaign colluded with Russia, in 2016.
"By the spring and summer of 2016, the FBI had acted as 'an accelerant' to Clinton-backed opposition research, chiefly the Steele dossier, that falsely portrayed Trump as a Russian asset," the report said.
Ratcliffe has confirmed, "This was a Hillary Clinton plan, but part of it was an FBI plan to be an accelerant to that fake Steele dossier … pouring oil on the fire, amplifying the lie, and burying the truth."
The dossier was fabricated by ex-British intel officer Christopher Steele and made a long list of wild, and completely false, accusations about Trump. Democrats and media repeatedly have cited its falsehoods.
The annex, now released, holds memos about "confidential conversations" between then–Democratic National Committee head Debbie Wasserman Schultz and senior officials at George Soros' Open Society Foundations, from 2016.
A March 2016 memo documented Clinton's scheme to lie about Trump, and also said "[the Democratic Party's] opposition is focused on discrediting Trump." Further, it says Clinton campaign staff, "with support from special services," were preparing "scandalous revelations" about Trump's alleged ties to the "Russian Mafia," the report said.
FBI reviewers determined "special services" could mean U.S. intelligence or law enforcement agencies, including the FBI.
Durham's conclusion was that, "The FBI was fully alerted to the possibility that at least some of the information it was receiving about the Trump campaign might have its origin either with the Clinton campaign or its supporters, or alternatively, was the product of Russian disinformation."
However, Durham noted, the FBI failed to investigate any of the information it was getting.
Brennan, Obama's CIA chief, in August briefed Obama, Biden, Clapper and Comey about the Clinton disinformation plan.
Instead of investigating, however, the FBI ramped up its own "counterintelligence investigation" into Trump. Its "Crossfire Hurricane" claimed Trump campaign volunteer George Papadopoulos had a conversation in a bar with Australian diplomats relaying gossip he'd heard about Russia.
Grassley charged the documents file "exposes how the Obama and Biden administration's law enforcement and intelligence agencies were weaponized against President Trump."
The documentation also reconfirms that the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court was misled at the time, "by FBI officials seeking to surveil Trump campaign adviser Carter Page."
One FBI lawyer admitted in court to altering a document so that agenda could move forward.
Attorney General Pam Bondi, FBI chief Kash Patel and Gabbard have said further documentation is coming.

Urgent calls for the firing and arrest of a top Cincinnati councilwoman emerged Wednesday after she allegedly said she was "grateful" for the vicious pummeling of white citizens and that "they begged" to be attacked.
"They begged for that beat down! I am grateful for the whole story," is attributed to Victoria Parks, president pro tem of Cincinnati City Council, in a comment thread discussing Saturday's violence in which a mob is shown horrifically hammering numerous white people.
"Cincinnati Councilwoman Victoria Parks needs to step down. So does the Cincinnati Police Chief. They are both defending criminal behavior," urged one person on X.
"These people are absolute lunatics," said journalist Eric Daugherty, as he notified the U.S. Justice Department about the remarks.
Other comments online include:
"This should be an immediate termination condoning and supporting this kind of attack."
"So you sanction a beating because he did what … ? Breathe? Or you just know he deserved it? And I'm sure the woman is equally guilty."
"I hope the victims sue this hag."
"@PamBondi please start arresting these public officials for crimes against people."
"Thank you Barack Hussein Obama for setting race relations back to 1870."
Fox News reported the FBI has now opened an investigation into the attack, as three of the five suspects charged in the mayhem were arraigned Wednesday.
Those appearing in court were Dekyra Vernon, 24, Montianez Merriweather, 34, and Jermaine Matthews, 39, who face charges including felonious assault and aggravated riot.
WLWT-TV in Cincinnati reported: Hamilton County Prosecuting Attorney Connie Pillich "made a strong statement after watching video from the fight that has been seen by millions across multiple platforms."
"In order to dissuade people from committing these types of offenses, I'm going to throw the book at them," Pillich said.
Parks announced in January she will not be running for reelection, according to WCPO-TV.
"Upon completion of this term, I will retire and hang out with my grandchildren and nieces and nephews," Parks said.
"I look forward to picking up kids from football practice and piano lessons, volunteering on boards and spending my money on plane tickets. I have worked since the age of 14 and at the end of the year, I will reap the benefits of my work life."
Parks has not responded to WorldNetDaily's request for comment.

President Donald Trump on Tuesday made a prediction about the next major TV personalities to be fired in the wake of Stephen Colbert getting canned by CBS.
"Next up will be an even less talented Jimmy Kimmel, and then, a weak, and very insecure, Jimmy Fallon," Trump wrote on Truth Social. "The only real question is, who will go first?"
Trump also noted: "Everybody is saying that I was solely responsible for the firing of Stephen Colbert from CBS, Late Night. That is not true!
"The reason he was fired was a pure lack of TALENT, and the fact that this deficiency was costing CBS $50 Million Dollars a year in losses – And it was only going to get WORSE!"
"Show Biz and Television is a very simple business. If you get Ratings, you can say or do anything. If you don't, you always become a victim. Colbert became a victim to himself, the other two will follow."
Meanwhile, a protest of CBS in support of Colbert on Sunday drew a mere 20 people in New York City.
"Organizers say the protest was supposed to be a nationwide call for integrity after the Late Show was canceled," Fox News reported.
Former NBC "Tonight Show" host Jay Leno is now criticizing his fellow late-night comedians for alienating half their audience with politics.
"I like to think people come to a comedy show to kind of get away from the things, the pressures of life," said Leno.
"And I love political humor … don't get me wrong. … People wind up cozying too much to one side or the other. Why shoot for just half an audience all the time?"

A gunman wearing a bulletproof vest stormed a Manhattan skyscraper Monday, opening fire and killing a police officer and at least four civilians before turning the gun on himself.
Law-enforcement sources told the New York Post the man entered the 44-story office building housing Blackstone and the NFL headquarters armed with a rifle and opened fire at around 6:30 p.m.
Published reports identify the shooter as 27-year-old Shane Tamura of Las Vegas, Nevada.
CNN reports: "The suspected gunman, who is now dead, had a concealed carry license for a handgun, multiple law enforcement officials told CNN.
"The suspect, believed to be a 27-year-old from Las Vegas, has an expired private investigator license, sources told CNN.
"Police backtracked the suspect to his car, which video shows him exiting alone."
At least six people were shot in the onslaught.
"FBI New York Field Office management personnel and agents are responding to provide support at the active crime scene in Manhattan," said FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino.
FBI Director Kash Patel said: "The FBI is on scene at the Manhattan crime scene. The NYPD currently has the lead in this investigation. Our personnel are there to support their efforts. Motive is currently under investigation."
A first-floor witness said "it sounded like a barrage of shots … Like an automatic weapon. Like a high-capacity weapon."
Photos on social media showed workers inside the Blackstone building barricading their offices.
"At this time, the scene has been contained and the lone shooter has been neutralized," NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch confirmed on X.
"We don't have enough police," said New York Republican mayoral candidate Curtis Sliwa told Sean Hannity on Fox News. "And we need photo recognition technology … so we can preemptively do something."
Sliwa warned that terrorists would "take advantage of these kind of weaknesses."
"There are potential terrorists watching how easy it is to walk through the streets of New York City, to carry an AR-15, to walk into a corporate world headquarters that represents capitalism and then slaughter people indiscriminately."
"This is just senseless and cruel," said Fox News contributor Ted Williams. "He had a purpose and he didn't even hide his purpose."
U.S. Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., said he expected Democrats in Congress to call more more gun control in the wake of the horror.
"We've got hundreds of gun-control laws," he told Sean Hannity. "We don't need more gun control, we need more idiot control, and that's what we need to be talking about."
"I believe there's objective evil in this world, and we saw it today."
The Post reports: "Two apparent protesters, including one who yelled, 'Free Palestine, I'm not the shooter,' were arrested outside of the building around the time of the shooting."
The paper spoke with Oleksandr Stupak, 30, who was standing on the street nearby when he heard gunshots ring out.
"I was on the one block away and I heard shots being fired and then a bunch of police, they came to neutralize it," he said. "I went to the Citizen app and it says active shooting. A lot of police started to come. I mean. [It's] crazy."

In what's being called a "disgusting" racial attack, Cincinnati police are investigating a graphic assault by blacks Saturday injuring at least three white people, with the violence documented in a disturbing viral video.
"In the footage, a man, whose identity remains unknown, is repeatedly hit and kicked in the head by multiple people, sending him to the ground. The group of people then continues to assault the man while he lies on the ground," reports WLWT-TV, the local NBC affiliate.
"At one point, the man can be seen attempting to stand up as the barrage of attacks by the crowd temporarily comes to a stop. He immediately falls over in apparent disorientation, as cars honk their horns for the assembled crowd to move out of the road.
"Later on in the video, a woman can be seen sneaking up from behind and grabbing at another woman who was seen checking on the fallen man, while a separate man in the crowd punches her. The punch causes the woman to fall to the ground, with her head slamming down onto the concrete.
"After a moment, it becomes apparent that the woman is unconscious, as blood can be seen streaming from her mouth. The video ends as bystanders attempt to move the woman out of the street.
"It is unclear whether the man and woman who were attacked have any connection to one another."
The beatings occurred as the four-day Cincinnati Music Festival was taking place.
Cincinnati Police Chief Teresa Theetge is slamming the perpetrators, indicating: "I am in complete disgust waking up to the viral video many of you have now seen."
"The behavior displayed is nothing short of cruel and absolutely unacceptable. Our investigative team is working diligently to identify every individual involved in causing harm. It's also important to clarify: this was a sudden dispute between individuals following a verbal altercation. It was not connected in any way to the Music Fest. If you have any information related to this incident, please contact Crime Stoppers immediately at 513-352-3042."
Alex Jones of Infowars said of the horror: "The left is promoting racial attacks on white people and then covering up the attacks. I am going to continue to expose this garbage. The crime statistics are clear black on white crime is at least 15 to one. Most Black people are not engaged in this activity, but a tiny minority is and the left is covering it up."
Ken Kober, president of the Cincinnati Fraternal Order of Police, told WLWT, "The violence this video shows downtown is disgusting."
"What's equally disgusting is those who chose to watch and record instead of calling 9-1-1, attempting to defuse the situation or render aid. I have full faith in the Central Business Section Investigators they will make arrests in the near future. It will then be the responsibility of the court system to hold these violent thugs accountable."
Ohio state Rep. Cecil Thomas is urging anyone with information to come forward to the police.
"I've just observed several video clips of an assault that took place last night in our downtown," Thomas told the station. "It turned my stomach and I was angry and totally embarrassed to see such behavior, especially, during the Music Festival weekend that's has been historically free of such horrifying violence, not to mention a Reds home game. There are so many visitors from around the country currently in our city."
"It's this kind of behavior that makes me wish I was still on the force," Thomas added. "It's unacceptable under any standard and those involved should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
"Therefore as your State Representative, I trust that there will be a full and complete investigation of this incident by the Cincinnati Police Department and to bring charges against all involved. There's enough cameras in the area as well as cellphone videos to clearly determine how it started and who all was involved."
The identity and conditions of the victims remain unknown.
While local TV in Cincinnati has reported the violence, national media have been largely silent.
Comments online include:
"This is a hate crime that has attempted murder, written all over it. Why won't the media cover Cincinnati?"
"The race war has already begun. Last night at a music festival, multiple white people were viciously targeted by gangs of blacks in a racially motivated attack. Random black attacks against white people have become a daily occurrence."

In a cryptic X post Saturday, FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino said he has been "shocked to the core" by what he has learned in ongoing investigations – but he doesn't say what that is.
"We cannot run a Republic like this," Bongino insists. "I'll never be the same after learning what I've learned."
The deputy director, a former Secret Service agent and political commentator, vowed to bring the American people "the truth," saying, "We are going to get the answers WE ALL DESERVE."
Bongino reportedly took issue with Attorney General Pam Bondi's "nothing to see here" memo regarding the Jeffrey Epstein case earlier this month, with rumors he nearly resigned his position over the decision.
Commentator Todd Starnes remarked on X, "Seems to me we need the Attorney General and FBI Director [Kash Patel] need to immediately hold a press conference and explain what the deputy director is talking about."

Federal Research chief Jerome Powell has been under pressure from President Donald Trump because of Powell's agenda to keep interest rates at current levels.
With the nation's economy booming, inflation low, mass revenue coming in from tariffs, and a series of international trade deals being developed, Trump wants the interest rates lower, to spur even more economic development.
Powell has resisted, and that resistance has been weaponized because of the hundreds of millions of dollars in cost overruns under his watch as the Fed refurbishes its HQ buildings in Washington.
That work was supposed to come in at $1.8 billion. Then it was estimated to be $2.5 billion.
Now it's at $3.1 billion, according to documentation that Trump handed Powell during a briefing to reporters.
The two were at the site Thursday to look at the progress being made for all those hundreds of millions of U.S. tax dollars.
Already, Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., has referred Powell to the Department of Justice for criminal charges, accusing him of two specific instances of lying under oath.
Her accusations include that last month Powell "provided testimony under oath before the U.S. Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs regarding the renovation of the Federal Reserve's Eccles Building. In his statements, he made several materially false claims," she said.
Trump has said it is unlikely he'll fire Powell, although he apparently could.
In video from the tour of the construction site, Trump noted the new, and higher, estimated of $3.1 billion, which apparently came from Fed staff members.
Powell pointed out that it included a third building, while the lower estimate apparently was for work only one two.
At the press availability, Trump was asked what would happen if he, as a real estate developer, came across a project manager who was over budget.
"Generally speaking, what would I do? FIRE HIM!" he said.

Fed-up with claims the first lady of France was actually born a man, French President Emmanuel Macron is now suing American political commentator Candace Owens who has been championing the theory.
Macron filed the 219-page complaint Wednesday in Delaware over "demonstrably false" claims about his wife Brigitte Macron.
"These outlandish, defamatory, and far-fetched fictions included that Mrs. Macron was born a man, stole another person's identity, and transitioned to become Brigitte; Mrs. Macron and President Macron are blood relatives committing incest; President Macron was chosen to be the President of France as part of the CIA-operated MKUltra program or a similar mind-control program; and Mrs. Macron and President Macron are committing forgery, fraud, and abuses of power to conceal these secrets," the lawsuit reads.
"These lies have caused tremendous damage to the Macrons," says the suit, which notes the allegations have subjected the couple to a "campaign of global humiliation, turning their lives into fodder for profit-driven lies."
"Owens has dissected their appearance, their marriage, their friends, their family, and their personal history – twisting it all into a grotesque narrative designed to inflame and degrade," the complaint alleges.
"The result is relentless bullying on a worldwide scale. Every time the Macrons leave their home, they do so knowing that countless people have heard, and many believe, these vile fabrications. It is invasive, dehumanizing, and deeply unjust."
"Faced with this relentless and unjustified smear campaign, the Macrons are left with no choice but to seek relief through this Court to set the record straight, prevent further harm, and hold Defendants accountable for their conduct."
The claims by Owens are similar to a theory floated in France by two women whom Brigitte Macron sued in 2021. While Mrs. Macron won the initial round in court, it was overturned on appeal and is now before the highest appeals court in France.
As WorldNetDaily previously reported, Owens says she was personally phoned by U.S. President Donald Trump in February when French President Emmanuel Macron was visiting Washington, D.C., and says the commander in chief urged her to stop discussing Brigitte because it was interfering with talks on ending Russia's war against Ukraine.
In a video she released on June 30, Owens said of Trump's call: "It is hard to catch my breath to comprehend that four days ago I'm ending a series about Brigitte Macron, and now I'm speaking to the president of the United States and the topic of conversation no matter which way you wanna slice it is about Macron's wife's penis. I mean there's no other way to say it."
She continued: "I explained to him that she has had this amazing doctor who specializes in transgenderism surgeries or feminization procedures. I'm talking to the president of the United States about this, guys. This is crazy this wacky. … But I'm just trying to get him to understand the truth.
"And then I explained to him why I don't feel so great about this request, because that's the more important part."
"Like you are requesting that I really, and despite your reasoning, which is very sound, that I stop telling the truth. And I said to Trump, and I will be honest, that at that moment I realized that one day this is gonna go into my autobiography and so I got to say something funny, and I just said, I said to him, 'You know, respectfully, Mr. President, it's not my fault that he married someone with a penis.'"
Owens responded to Macron's lawsuit in her Wednesday broadcast, saying: "I am ready for this fight. All sickos will be exposed."

The office of former President Barack Obama responded Tuesday to President Donald Trump's assertion that Obama was "the ringleader" of treasonous crimes designed to severely undermine Trump.
Obama spokesman Patrick Rodenbush indicated Trump and his officials were voicing "outrageous" claims.
"Out of respect for the office of the presidency, our office does not normally dignify the constant nonsense and misinformation flowing out of this White House with a response," Rodenbush stated.
"But these claims are outrageous enough to merit one. These bizarre allegations are ridiculous and a weak attempt at distraction."
"Nothing in the document issued last week undercuts the widely accepted conclusion that Russia worked to influence the 2016 presidential election but did not successfully manipulate any votes," he continued.
"These findings were affirmed in a 2020 report by the bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee, led by then-Chairman Marco Rubio."
As WorldNetDaily reported, Trump on Tuesday unleashed his fury concerning the false and "treasonous" Russia-collusion plot to undermine him, and he named Obama specifically as the driving force.
"Barack Hussein Obama is the ringleader," Trump told reporters in the Oval Office.
"Hillary Clinton was right there with him and so was Sleepy Joe Biden, and so were the rest of them: [James] Comey, [James] Clapper, the whole group. They tried to rig an election and then they got CAUGHT! And then they did rig the election in 2020."
When asked whom the U.S. Justice Department should target in its probe of the matter, Trump responded: "It would be President Obama. He started it. And Biden was there with him, and Comey was there and Clapper, the whole group was there."
"If you look at those papers, they have him stone cold, and it was President Obama. It wasn't lots of people all over the place, it was them too. But the leader of the gang was President Obama. Barack Hussein Obama. Have you heard of him? Except for the fact that he gets shielded by the press for his entire life."
"Look, he's guilty," Trump continued. "It's there. He's guilty. This was treason. This was every word you could think of. They tried to steal the election. They tried to obfuscate the election. They did things that nobody's ever even imagined, even in other countries."
"They caught President Obama absolutely cold," Trump added.
"They tried to rig the election and they got caught, and there should be very severe consequences for that. When we caught Hillary Clinton, I said, 'You know, what? Let's not go too far here. It's the ex-wife of a president.' … I let her off the hook and I'm very happy I did. But it's time to start, after what they did to me, and whether it's right or wrong, it's time to go after people. Obama has been caught directly!"
"It's Obama. His orders are on the paper. The papers are signed, the papers came right out of their office. They sent everything to be highly classified. Well, the highly classified has been released. And what they did in 2016 and 2020 is very criminal, it's criminal at the highest level.
On Monday night, Trump posted similar thoughts on Truth Social, saying: "Obama himself manufactured the Russia, Russia, Russia HOAX. Crooked Hillary, Sleepy Joe, and numerous others participated in this, THE CRIME OF THE CENTURY!. Irrefutable EVIDENCE. A major threat to our Country!!!"
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has already turned over information about the case to the U.S. Justice Department for criminal referral, and Gabbard herself said on Sunday, "There must be indictments."
Meanwhile, U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson indicated Monday that Congress may subpoena Obama over allegations of a coordinated plot against Trump.
"I think we have a responsibility to follow the truth, where it leads," Johnson told journalist David Brody.
"To do effectively the opposite of what that other team did – they were engaged in a partisan political plot to take down their foe in the other party. We need to be about the rule of law and bring an order to the chaos and searching out the truth because the American people are owed those answers."
"If it's uncomfortable for him, he shouldn't have been involved in overseeing this, which is what it appears to us has happened," Johnson said.

Many Americans may have fantasized about Barack Obama being arrested and frogmarched out the White House, but now President Donald Trump is helping them visualize that very scenario with a video he posted online Sunday depicting it.
The spoof comes in the wake of disclosures by Tulsi Gabbard, the director of national intelligence, who is now calling for indictments of Obama officials for allegedly carrying out "treasonous" and "seditious" activities against Trump with the Russian collusion narrative after the 2016 election.
One commenter on the video said: "MOST EPIC FREAKIN TROLL POST I'VE EVER SEEN!!! I CANT WAIT TO SEE THE REAL THING!!!"
In addition to the Obama-arrest clip, Trump also posted a large, "Brady Bunch"-style image he called "The Shady Bunch," featuring Obama and his officials whom Trump suggests may have maliciously schemed against him.
Harrison Fields, special assistant to the president, appeared on "The Big Weekend Show" on Fox News Sunday evening to slam Obama as well as the deceptive news media.
"Obama's hands are on this and what is he doing now? He's over here with his wife doing a podcast, walking with flip-flops on the beach, acting like his whole career was everything and a bag of chips! It wasn't!" he said.
"It was the most corrupt presidency we have ever seen! We thought Joe Biden was bad. Now we know who was behind it all. It was Barack Hussein Obama, and we need an answers."
Trump later praised Fields on Truth Social, saying: "Great job by young and talented Harrison Fields on FoxNews.
"The Panel was fantastic on prosecuting Obama and the 'thugs' who have just been unequivocally exposed on highest level Election Fraud. Congratulations to Tulsi Gabbard. Keep it coming!!!"
