Supreme Court given opportunity to rule on Democrats’ Russiagate conspiracy theory

Supreme Court given opportunity to rule on Democrats’ Russiagate conspiracy theory

The U.S. Supreme Court now is getting a chance to rule on the Democrats’ “Russiagate” conspiracy theory, a decade after it took over Washington, politics, the White House and the lower courts.

That was the contention that somehow Donald Trump, a successful candidate to be president in 2016, worked with Russia to beat the twice-failed candidate for the Democrats, Hillary Clinton.

Evidence now shows that Clinton’s campaign had informed a number of people, including Barack Obama, then the occupant of the White house, that she intended to try to link Trump to Russia to distract American voters from the scandal over her decision to put government secrets on an unsecure email server in her home.

Leftist “fact” sources online still claim that investigations into the political mess provide evidence against Trump, but a report at the Liberty Sentinel explains that Tulsi Gabbard, the current Director of National Intelligence, has confirmed “Russiagate” was politically motivated and inspired by the Democrats, specifically the outgoing Obama officials.

Further, Trump confirmed during a U.S.-Russia summit last year that Russian President Vladimir Putin was well aware his country had not interfered in the 2016 election.

The U.S. intelligence community, at the direction of Democrats, had claimed that Russia interfered in favor of Trump.

The report said, “It is not just about Trump’s first term being severely obstructed. Many of his top-tier supporters were ‘canceled,’ some of them sent to jail under false evidence. Trump himself suffered massive reputational damage that had almost buried his political career. Overall, the meddling accusation campaign resulted in better electoral positions for the Democratic Party during the 2018 and 2020 elections.”

According to declassified government statements, “Obama-era officials might have approved using the intelligence community against Trump.”

Now, however, a report from Just the News confirms the Supreme Court is being given an opportunity to rule on the issues.

Carter Page, a consultant who worked briefly on Trump’s 2016 campaign, became the subject of an FBI investigation, called Crossfire Hurricane, regarding Russia connections to Trump during that race.

He sued, in 2020, naming ex-FBI Director James Comey, ex Deputy Director Andrew McCabe and ex-Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein for millions of dollars, charging they violated his constitutional rights by submitting lies to obtain a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 warrant and spy on him.

He said the Democrat surveilled was political.

Lower courts dismissed his claims, opening the door for Page to move the case up to the Supreme Court.

The government’s response to the case is due in March.

“The Federal Bureau of Investigation obtained four warrants from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court to surveil Petitioner Dr. Carter Page. But its applications contained multiple errors, omissions, and misstatements that the FBI later concluded vitiated its showing of probable cause,” Page’s lawyers charge. “Worse, it was later revealed that two agents leaked information about the FBI’s surveillance to the press, resulting in an April 2017 article in The Washington Post.”

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit ruled that the case couldn’t move forward over an alleged statute of limitations restriction.

That’s even though the Justice Department’s inspector general previously identified significant errors and omissions in the applications used to justify the surveillance of Page.

Meanwhile, Attorney General Pam Bondi has ordered a grand jury investigation into the intelligence regarding President Trump and Russia in the run-up to the 2016 election.

Reports reveal she directed Justice Department staff to begin legal proceedings and ordered a federal prosecutor to present evidence to a grand jury about the matter to secure a potential indictment.

That step follows a criminal referral from Gabbard last summer.

She has released details that suggest a “suppression” and manipulation of intelligence undermining the intel community assessment delivered against Trump at the time.

Special counsel Robert Mueller investigated the Democrats’ complaints for years, and there were no charges against Trump.

Other ramifications of “Russiagate” continue to develop, including possible charges against perpetrators.
