The revelations about the 2016 Russia Collusion hoax continue to pour in. Most recently, documents were declassified that appear to show that Hillary Clinton herself approved the massive hoax and knew that her team was counting on support from the Obama administration to spread it.
One of the recently declassified documents is an email from Leonard Bernardo, who works with the George Soros-backed Open Society Foundations. It reads in part, "HRC approved Julia's idea about Trump and Russian hackers hampering the U.S. election. That should distract people from her own missing emails, especially if the affair goes to the Olympic level."
It's believed that "Julia" is a reference to Julia Smith, who was a foreign policy advisor for the Clinton campaign in 2016 and went on to become the ambassador to NATO under former President Joe Biden.
Now the big question is, what sort of consequences or legal steps from the Trump Department of Justice are going to wind up coming from all of this? For starters, you probably shouldn't expect to see Clinton frog-marched into prison.
Attorney Dunham Biles says, "They're probably investigating lying to Congress. Biden folks went after folks on those allegations, so that is likely going to be the issue here." He thinks the likelihood that any of this comes back to Clinton herself is slim, largely due to the statute of limitations.
Biles then went on to lament how much this scandal has destroyed public trust in our intelligence community, saying, "Intentionally creating a false story to damage the credibility and viability of the incoming president of the United States...that can't happen."
He added that the scale of this scandal and the damage it will do to public trust will end up massively overshadowing even the Watergate scandal.
