Whether or not Hillary was behind it, Obama & Biden knew that the Russia hoax was a hoax from the start.

That’s the sort of thing the New York Times would consider a front-page bombshell report if it in some way hurt President Trump. In his letter, Ratcliffe tells Graham that “additional declassification and public disclosure of related intelligence remains under consideration,” but Catherine Herridge says that Graham is already working to get those notes declassified.

NOW: @LindseyGrahamSC tells @CBSNews that he is working to declassify notes cited in @DNI_Ratcliffe letter to the fullest extent possible + he questions whether the Sept 2016 "investigative referral" to FBI about an alleged effort by the Clinton campaign to distract from

1. Excellent! I’d like to know just what actions IF ANY … the FBI undertook to investigate the validity of the claims released in the newly declassified memo from DNI Ratcliffe, which states that US intelligence received information that Hillary Clinton may have attempted

4. that it prompted Hillary Clinton and her aides to commit multiple felonies to conceal? I think we may have been given a hint on page 294 of the Inspector General’s Report, which former assistant director of the FBI’s Counterintelligence Division, Randy Coleman, noted upon

Do you know who the firefighters in the media never followed up on? Clinton’s IT guy who was asking around online trying to find a way to change the headers on emails that had already been archived. Maybe headers proving President Obama was well aware of Clinton’s private email server well before he admitted it? Just thinking out loud here.

@realDonaldTrump should declassify all documents related to Spygate. We deserve to see them before the election.

We don’t want to rush anything but there is a presidential election coming up — not that any of these revelations would change any Democrats’ votes.
