In a major development that could finally bring long-overdue accountability to the corrupt Obama-era intelligence community, former CIA Director John Ratcliffe has hinted that criminal prosecutions are looming for key figures involved in the now-discredited Trump-Russia collusion hoax.

Appearing on Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo, Ratcliffe didn’t mince words. He confirmed that the statute of limitations will not stop justice from being served and suggested that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, ex-FBI Director James Comey, and former CIA Director John Brennan could soon face legal consequences. According to Ratcliffe, these individuals gave testimony that is now “completely inconsistent” with newly uncovered intelligence—intelligence that is about to be declassified.

“The American people were lied to,” Ratcliffe declared. “And the people who carried out this fraud on the nation may finally be held accountable.”

New Criminal Referrals Spark Hope for Justice

Thanks to recent criminal referrals made by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard—yes, the same Tulsi Gabbard who has broken with the radical left and joined the America First movement—Ratcliffe now has the legal foundation to move forward. These referrals target Brennan, Comey, Clinton, and others who orchestrated what many consider one of the most disgraceful political dirty tricks in U.S. history: the fake Trump-Russia scandal.

Director Ratcliffe told Bartiromo that the Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) used to smear Trump in 2016 was deeply flawed and intentionally manipulated for political purposes. “The 2016 ICA was cooked up by Brennan and Comey,” he said. “They pushed it through a corrupt, highly politicized process meant to frame a sitting president.”

New Evidence Paints a Damning Picture

According to Ratcliffe, evidence in the soon-to-be-declassified Durham Annex proves that Brennan, Comey, and Clinton all gave sworn testimony that contradicts classified intelligence collected at the time. That’s not just misleading—it’s potentially perjury.

What’s more, the former CIA chief confirmed that intelligence officials as recently as July 2025 met to discuss the implications of the newly discovered material. One senior Trump administration official told reporters off the record that President Obama himself “ordered the ICA to set Trump up and knock him off balance before he could even get started.”

“This was an influence operation far more consequential than anything Putin cooked up,” the official stated. “Obama and Hillary schemed the op, and the CIA and FBI ran it.”

Ratcliffe: They Tried to Destroy Trump from Day One

Ratcliffe also took to X (formerly Twitter) to sound the alarm. In a scathing July 2 post, he wrote, “All the world can now see the truth: Brennan, Clapper, and Comey manipulated intelligence and silenced career professionals — all to get Trump.” He added that he remains committed to ensuring that American intelligence is never again hijacked for partisan warfare.

Conclusion: Accountability Is Coming

The deep state tried everything to stop President Trump—from fake dossiers to illegal wiretaps to outright lies spread by the mainstream media. But the truth is finally surfacing, and thanks to patriots like John Ratcliffe and Tulsi Gabbard, the architects of the Russiagate scandal may soon face justice.

It’s a long time coming—but in Trump’s America, justice delayed won’t be justice denied.
