Svetlana Lokhova is a former Cambridge University professor and Soviet history expert, who was falsely portrayed as a Russian spy during the 2016 election. She details her claims of a coordinated conspiracy by Hillary Clinton’s campaign, approved by President Obama and CIA Director Brennan, to link Donald Trump to Russian intelligence falsely. She discusses fabricated evidence, suppressed investigations, destroyed classified documents, and the personal toll on targeted individuals. Get Svetlana’s brand new book:

3) DNI Ratcliffe’s September 29, 2020 letter to Graham: Brennan briefed Obama on Hillary’s July 26, 2016 approval of the plan; the September 7, 2016 referral to Comey and Strzok.
