Declassified annexes to Special Counsel John Durham\u2019s report reveal a murky,<\/p>\n
politically explosive picture: intercepted emails attributed to Leonard Benardo of George Soros\u2019s Open Society<\/p>\n
Foundations allegedly describe a Clinton-world strategy to brand Donald Trump as a Russian asset,<\/p>\n
with the FBI expected to help legitimize the narrative.<\/p>\n
The communications, reportedly hacked by the Russians and later accessed by the Dutch, speak of a \u201clong-term affair to demonize\u201d<\/p>\n
both Trump and Vladimir Putin, deflecting attention from Hillary Clinton\u2019s<\/p>\n
own email scandal by transforming Russian interference into a domestic political weapon.<\/p>\n
Durham\u2019s team could not fully rule out Russian fabrication, yet some U.S. analysts judged the Benardo emails \u201clikely authentic,\u201d<\/p>\n
and other communications involving Clinton adviser Julianne Smith<\/p>\n
appeared to echo the same push for heightened scrutiny of Trump\u2019s Russia ties.<\/p>\n
In the end, the annex paints a chilling portrait: intelligence agencies, campaign operatives,<\/p>\n
foreign hackers, and media cutouts all circling a single incendiary storyline\u2014<\/p>\n
one that helped ignite Crossfire Hurricane and deepen America\u2019s political fracture for years to come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
