A declassified document claims to be the missing link tying billionaire George Soros to the Russiagate hoax. George Soros’ Open Society Foundation was involved in the Hillary Clinton campaign’s 2016 efforts to falsely accuse Donald Trump of having ties to Russia, according to a newly declassified United States document.

The 29-page annex to John Durham’s 2023 Special Counsel report was released by the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday shortly after it was declassified, and boldly alleges that Soros was heavily involved in the “smear campaign.”

The annex cites several “likely authentic” emails allegedly sent by Leonard Benardo, senior vice president of Soros’ Open Society Foundations, throughout July 2016, which reveal details of the Clinton campaign’s plan to falsely accuse Trump of Russia links and tie him to the alleged Democratic National Committee (DNC) hack. –RT

“During the first stage of the campaign, due to lack of direct evidence, it was decided to disseminate the necessary information through the FBI-affiliated ‘attic-based’ technical structures… in particular, the Crowdstrike and ThreatConnect companies, from where the information would then be disseminated through leading US publications,” one of the emails reads.

Another email purportedly sent by Benardo states that the “media analysis on the DNC hacking appears solid” and suggests that “later the FBI will put more oil into fire,” apparently predicting the probe by the agency. It also cites an individual named “Julie,” identified in the annex as Clinton’s foreign policy adviser Julianne Smith, who said the future Russiagate “will be a long-term affair to demonize [Russian President Vladimir] Putin and Trump.”
