CIA’s Ratcliffe Hints at Explosive Treason-Level Intel in Upcoming Russiagate Files
It was supposed to be over. After years of hearings, investigations, denials, and a media firestorm, the so-called “Russia collusion” saga appeared to have finally run its course. The Durham report, the Senate hearings, the fading memories of the Steele dossier—all of it slowly faded from headlines.
But now, in a rare and unexpected TV appearance, CIA Director John Ratcliffe is making it clear: this story is far from over.
And if his warning is accurate… it’s about to explode.
A Quiet Appearance with Loud Implications
On Fox News’ Sunday Morning Futures, Ratcliffe sat down with Maria Bartiromo for what seemed like a typical recap of recent intelligence headlines. But within minutes, viewers realized they were hearing something far more consequential.
Ratcliffe confirmed that the recently declassified documents on Russiagate—which implicated top Obama-era officials in promoting discredited intelligence—are just the beginning. The real revelations, he said, are still classified… but not for long.
“What hasn’t come out yet… is the underlying intelligence,” Ratcliffe said. “And what that intelligence shows is chilling.”
That’s when the interview took a darker turn.
The Middle Hook: Treason and a Conspiracy?
According to Ratcliffe, the material he helped prepare for declassification points to coordinated misconduct at the highest levels of government—not just politically motivated errors, but potentially criminal-level deception.
Specifically, he stated that the Steele dossier—used as the foundation for the Crossfire Hurricane investigation into Trump—was not only fake but knowingly amplified by U.S. intelligence agencies, including the FBI and CIA, to fuel a politically motivated hoax.
And worse… he says they knew it was fake all along.
“Part of this was a Hillary Clinton plan,” Ratcliffe said, “but part of it was an FBI plan to be an accelerant… by amplifying the lie and burying the truth.”
He didn’t stop there. Ratcliffe referenced testimony by John Brennan, James Comey, and even Hillary Clinton herself, all given under oath in the last five years, as being in direct conflict with the intelligence about to be released.
His implication? Lying under oath. Obstructing justice. Possibly even treason.
The Declassified Annex Is Coming
The so-called “Durham Report Annex”, which Ratcliffe helped compile and forward to the DOJ, is expected to include raw intelligence, communications, and agency-level decisions from the peak of the Trump-Russia probe.
While much of the public attention focused on what Durham concluded earlier this year, Ratcliffe claims the real firepower lies in the classified annex, which could soon become public.
“Much of that testimony is, frankly, completely inconsistent with what our underlying intelligence reflects,” he said.
What Could Happen Next?
The revelations from Ratcliffe raise significant questions:
-
Will anyone be prosecuted under this new DOJ?
-
Are the statute of limitations running out—or is this just the beginning of a second wave?
-
What happens if it’s proven top officials knowingly weaponized intelligence against a sitting president?
Ratcliffe believes the new DOJ under Attorney General Pam Bondi may have the courage to do what the last one didn’t.
“It is a different Department of Justice, a different FBI, and an opportunity to look at how these people really did conspire to run a hoax… a fraud on the American people.”
He emphasized that while Americans may already know they were lied to, the next step is understanding how deep the deception went—and who signed off on it.
Final Thoughts
This story is just beginning its second act.
What Ratcliffe is hinting at is nothing short of one of the biggest political scandals in modern American history. If the documents he’s referencing are released—and if they confirm what he claims—then multiple senior officials may soon be facing serious consequences.
And the American public will have to reckon with the reality that a hoax designed to bring down a presidency wasn’t just a theory… it was an inside job.
