A great deal more Russiagate intelligence remains shrouded from public view and will stun the nation, according to former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe.
The Trump-era spy chief expounded upon his expectation that there will be many more indictments in special counsel John Durham's criminal inquiry into the origins and conduct of the Russia investigation.
"I expect there to be a lot more indictments to be forthcoming from John Durham besides the ones that have trickled out so far. And that's based upon documents, some of which — many of which are not yet declassified," Ratcliffe said during a recent episode of the Charlie Kirk Show.
DURHAM STRIPPING BARE 'INCESTUOUS RELATIONSHIP' IN CLINTON CAMPAIGN LAWYER CASE: CHAFFETZ
Ratcliffe, a former Republican congressman from Texas who oversaw the nation's 17 intelligence agencies in the latter part of the Trump administration, announced in October 2020 that he had handed over nearly 1,000 pages of materials to the Justice Department to assist Durham, who is revealing more secrets as he takes people to court.
Durham has two active prosecutions, including a case against the main source for British ex-spy Christopher Steele's anti-Trump dossier and a case against former Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann, whose trial is scheduled to begin next month. Durham has obtained only a single guilty plea, which came from former FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith, who admitted to altering an email about a Trump campaign aide under government surveillance.

"The coordinated effort here that took place in 2016 was wide and broad. I think it involved folks in the Clinton campaign, in the Democratic national party, elected officials, media officials, folks that coordinated — intelligence community officials, and on down the line," Ratcliffe said. "I'm not saying that every single one of those folks have criminal liability or exposure. I'm just saying this was a very coordinated effort and the more and more the public finds out about the things that I've seen that remain classified, they'll be more and more appalled by those efforts in 2016."
Ratcliffe also said "there are folks that had access to classified information that didn't have the clearances to see that, and saw it in places that were not secure," pointing in particular to the Alfa Bank controversy involving a now-debunked Trump-Russia link.

But it's going nowhere...........so we are told ad nauseum
Someone's "prediction" is only made because it is going nowhere. The only question is how many more years is Durham going to milk this for.
After all these years we're still waiting! It's obviously going nowhere!
The best he can do is indict Sussman, on a charge that will be thrown out if it even makes it to court.
Next month Sussman goes on trial.
I have a feeling you'd say that if there were 200 indictments.
There is zero chance of that. You heard it here first.
He already obtained a conviction, which is one more Than mueller did for conspiring with Russians.
But there weren't, were there?
LOL!
How many?
Good, I'm sure he'll be happy to be able to get past this blame game.
There is no evidence involved in this.
1 person says he lied, another person said he didn't. Conveniently the recording device had been turned off during this alleged claim.
Sound about right for the Democrats.
Now bring on the "nuh uh" trolls that will miserably fail to debunk this.
Debunk what? A dishonest and buffoonish Trump lackey (Ratcliffe) claims knowledge of something that he has produced no evidence for. There is no need to debunk anything.
Did you hammer Adam Schiff who proclaimed that he had seen direct evidence that Trump colluded with Russia and was guilty or did you say to wait for the evidence to be presented in order to find Trump guilty? If yes then you should allow Ratcliffe the same courtesy.
And we have our 1st one!!!!!!!!
The noose is tightening.
So when should we expect those indictments against the Obama administration? I mean how many years has Durham been investigating now?
I would really like an expenditure cost on the Durham investigation as compared to the Trump collusion investigation. With the major difference being Durham has an uncooperative FBI and DOJ to deal with; while the collusion investigation had an FBI and DOJ that was all in on the evidence they manufactured to begin with.
I imagine it would be less than the Democrats attempt to overthrow an election since all the "evidence" was fabricated and presented by the FBI and DOJ. It's a matter of linking who did what.
Yes, as I have repeatedly told you, Trump and Co were under investigation by our own FBI and CIA along with every other professional spying agency in the world going back at least to 2014 but probably much longer. The Trump organization had at least fifty clandestine meetings with known operatives of Russian State Intelligence Services just between 2014 and the 2016 election. Trump was secretly negotiating with Putin to build Trump Tower Moscow right up to election day! Trump even offered Putin a free gazillion dollar penthouse as a bribe, but then he won the election!
The CIA and FBI were only doing their jobs monitoring the secret communications and relationships of Russian spies. They really could not help noticing. Yes, investigations by the FBI and CIA are secret. Nobody is supposed to admit anything ever. Butt Really! Everyone knows so quit pretending it isn't so!
Quit playing intelligent.
But, I'm not playing! The FBI and CIA do not comment on ongoing investigations, yet everyone (else) has this one figured out...
Did you cut and paste these baseless allegations from previous articles?
You have yet to provide any proof supporting these lies.
Just Google "Trump's Russian Connections" and then explain how the CIA and FBI could have not had Trump under investigation in the years leading up to the 2016 election...
Very well put.
Your FBI is about to be embarrassed one again.
So many government agencies have been politicized so much over the years. People are allowed to have their political beliefs but we the people deserve that these agencies be honest in their dealings. And that trust has burned up over the years. I wonder if it can ever be regained or if this is just the new normal and our country is changed forever?
You mean the same FBI and CIA that fabricated "evidence" for the Democrats?
Ya! The FBI and CIA fabricated evidence for the Democrats!
They say that confession is good for the soul.
Which begs the question: WHY did Ratcliffe choose NOT to declassify those documents?
LOL! We're still waiting all these years for all these indictments 'to be forthcoming from John Durham besides the ones that have trickled out so far'
