The "truth will defend itself" and that is starting happening with special counsel John Durham's investigation into the origins of the FBI's probe into whether former President Donald Trump's 2016 campaign colluded with Russia, former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe said Sunday.
"What's important here, [former CIA Director] John Brennan's own notes reflect, and the other document that I declassified, show that our intelligence community and our FBI knew this ahead of time, that we had specific intelligence, that Hillary Clinton was creating a plan to vilify Donald Trump, to falsely accuse him of ties to Russia, and that the intelligence community and the FBI knew this," Ratcliffe told Fox News' "Sunday Morning Futures" with Maria Bartiromo.

He said then-President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden were briefed in early August of 2016 and the investigation should have stopped then.
"Everything related to the Steele dossier was known to be untrue, but it was the predicate for moving forward with an unjust, unfair, and ultimately, now everyone accepts, a criminally negligent investigation against the Trump campaign," Ratcliffe said. "It was a crime to investigate Donald Trump, because there was no probable cause, as FBI Director Christopher Wray has admitted under oath. There was no probable cause for the FISA (Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act) applications, because they used the Steele dossier and it was phony."

"He knew it to be illegal and used it to perpetuate an investigation that went on for four years, that misrepresented everything to the American people," Ratcliffe said. "And that's why everyone associated with the Steele dossier – with its creation, its peddling to the FBI, and its use by law enforcement authorities against the Trump campaign illegally – is in criminal jeopardy right now."
