| F6 Source-Interesting Dutch Intel Aspect to Early Russia-Gate Conspiracy |

| [SleuthNews] The Obama administration compromised highly sensitive intelligence networks, according to sources familiar with the matter who spoke exclusively to Sleuth News on the condition of anonymity. Highly classified documents, obtained by the CIA from Dutch intelligence, indicate that by the summer of 2016, the American government knew enough to stop a fledgling investigation into Russian collusion. Dutch intelligence had infiltrated Russian intelligence groups, including a group known as Cozy Bear who had allegedly hacked the Democratic National Committee beginning in 2015 in a lesser known hack that did not result in the release of documents. The CIA received numerous reports from the Dutch intelligence service including a highly classified memorandum produced by the Russians detailing a purported conversation from Attorney General Loretta Lynch with a Clinton staffer named Amanda Renteria. The Russian intelligence document alludes to an email presumptively obtained from the Democratic National Committee in which Debbie Wasserman Schultz emailed Leonard Bernardo regarding the alleged assurances Lynch had given to Renteria. The memorandum, received by the FBI in early March 2016 suggested the existence of an agreement by Lynch not to let the investigation into Clinton’s email server progress too far. In September 2020, then Director of ODNI John Ratcliffe declassified another piece of this puzzle, summarized in three bullet points in a letter sent to Senator Lindsay Graham. The three bullet points are as follows:
Sleuth’s sources suggest that the Russians had picked up communications between Clinton campaign operatives and public relations personnel containing details of the smear campaign, which Sleuth News has learned included a plan to have the FBI amplify the collusion allegations. The emails described to Sleuth News are strikingly similar to an email released by Wikileaks, authored in February 2016 and sent from Jennifer Palmieri, a Clinton campaign official, to Joel Johnson of The Glover Park Group in which a “swift boat” project is mentioned, weeks before the alleged DNC hack. On August 3, 2016, then CIA Director John Brennan briefed President Obama, then Vice President Joe Biden, Attorney General Loretta Lynch, FBI Director James Comey and other senior officials on highly classified memorandums authored by Dutch intelligence with details of Clinton’s alleged plans. The next day, Brennan called Alexander Bortnikov, the head of Russia’s FSB intelligence network. Brennan would tell members of the House Intelligence Committee in 2017 that he called Bortnikov to warn Russia to stop interfering in America’s elections. That call apparently led to an immediate shift in Cozy Bear, cutting off the Dutch’s access and compromised friendly assets working for Western Intelligence. The call also had the effect of stopping additional memorandums that would have shed light on Clinton’s plans. |

| #2 I don't think the writing here is very clear but it sounds like the Russians knew all about the Democrat plot and presumably were having a damn good laugh about it. And the lead sentence mentions a network getting compromised but does not specify which network. Was it the Dutch? That'd teach 'em to share information with the likes of Brennan. |
