Former U.S. State Department official Mike Benz says Hillary Clinton and former CIA Director John Brennan are “dead to rights” as President Donald Trump renews scrutiny of the 2016 investigation.
In an interview with conservative commentator Benny Johnson, Benz outlined how the former presidential candidate and ex-intelligence chief are allegedly tied to a cover-up that falsely linked Trump to Russian forces during that year’s election. The administration is reportedly preparing charges against Clinton, Brennan, and several other senior officials from that period.
“You have a post up saying Hillary Clinton is absolutely guilty of a criminal conspiracy to defraud the American taxpayers and intel community and so on. How would that prosecution go? Is that like too much of a pipe dream to even dream about? Dare a boy dream, Mike?” Johnson asked.
Benz responded, “I’m dreaming right now. I think, I think that Trump was merciful and naive and innocent when he first became president in 2017 after saying that Hillary Clinton would be in jail, and then Hillary Clinton campaigned on putting Trump in jail. They nearly did. They shot him in the face.”
He continued: “They hit him with 91 felonies, 1000 years in prison if Trump didn’t win the election, and now you know they’re dead to rights here, Hillary Clinton clearly approved this plan to falsify information in order to portray Donald Trump as being backed by Russia, and they conspired with the head of the Central Intelligence Agency, the head of the FBI, potentially the president, the former president, United States himself.”
Documents recovered from FBI “burn bags” allegedly show that Clinton knew her top aide, Jake Sullivan, sought to divert attention from her email scandal by falsely tying Donald Trump to Russian activity during the election.
Among the materials was an annex from former Special Counsel John Durham’s report, containing emails from an employee of the Open Society Foundations — a George Soros-linked group also implicated in the Trump-Russia narrative.
An email from Leonard Bernardo, who in 2016 served as the Open Society Foundations’ regional director for Eurasia, appears to indicate that Hillary Clinton personally approved the organization’s plan to spread unfounded allegations against her opponent.
“HRC approved Julia’s idea about Trump and Russian hackers hampering U.S. elections,” Bernardo wrote in the email, which was found within the newly uncovered Durham annex. “That should distract people from her own missing email, especially if the affair goes to the Olympic level,” he added.
Benz noted: “They never had an intent for Trump to commit crimes, but they charged him anyway they can. This Justice Department has, if that’s rule of law, then has to be brought against Hillary Clinton and John Brennan too.”
