(WND News Center)—The Democrats for years pushed a “Russia, Russia, Russia” conspiracy theory against President Donald Trump.
Evidence suggests it originated with Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign and was an attempt to damage Trump by linking him to Russia. The goal also was to distract the American public from Clinton’s scandal that involved putting national secrets on an unsecured and private email server she set up in her home.
Of course, the claims were investigated, for years, causing constant headaches for Trump in his first term in office, and ultimately found to place no fault on Trump.
But now a new report posted at the Federalist suggests there was a Russia connection, for the Democrats.
It involves two Russian-language documents recently declassified, translated and made public through the work of U.S. Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, who has been seeking such information already for years.
The documents, translated from Russian by the FBI, apparently are “discussing purported communications between the then-chair of the Democratic National Committee, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, and individuals working for Soros’ Open Society Foundation,” the report said.
One document, translated, said, “Recent information appearing in the media about the FBI investigating possible facts of corruption connected with the State Department and the granting of preferences to Clinton Fund donors created a negative reaction within the party, though this information was known to Democratic Party leaders since June 2015. According to Wassermann Schultz [sic], so far the FBI does not have any hard evidence against Hillary Clinton because data was removed from the mail servers just in time.”
Another said, “By way of forming a consensus relative to the candidacy of Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, leading the Democratic Party (DP), sanctioned use of all administrative levers to remove possibly negative effects of the FBI investigation of the business of the Clinton Foundation and the email correspondence of the State Department.”
The report explained how the protection worked for Clinton: “The Obama-Biden Administration prevented agents investigating Hillary Clinton from reviewing some eight thumb drives of intel based on purported concerns over executive and congressional privilege, newly released documents reveal. This reality renders last month’s revelation that the Biden Administration approved Special Counsel Jack Smith’s subpoenaing of congressional Republicans’ toll records even more appalling — and the Democrats’ weaponization of the criminal justice system even more obvious and outrageous.”
The documents released by Grassley also showed work “by the Obama Administration and DOJ and FBI holdovers under Trump 1.0 to obstruct the investigation into the Clinton Foundation.”
That included a December 31, 2020, email from Cody Hiland, who then was U.S. attorney in Arkansas, to Jonathan Ross, Hiland’s assistant for a time, to describe the obstruction the duo faced while attempting to investigate the Clinton Foundation.
Hiland called it a “bizarre” situation.
“We’ve done what we can about the interference by DOJ and FBI leadership at the time with the FBI’s investigation,” Hiland wrote after Biden’s 2020 election.
The Federalist said, “In addition to that email, the document cache Grassley released last week revealed extensive obstruction into the investigation into Hillary Clinton first by the Obama Administration, but also continuing into Trump’s first term.”
Key was Hiland’s concern that the Deep State was concealing classified details.
Those details, ultimately revealed, showed “misconduct in the FBI’s handling of its Midyear Exam investigation into Clinton’s mishandling of classified documents,” the report said.
Grassley confirmed the now-released information revealed “an extreme lack of effort and due diligence in the FBI’s investigation of former Secretary Clinton’s email usage and mishandling of highly classified information.”
Grassley charged under then-FBI chief James Comey, “the FBI failed to perform fundamental investigative work and left key pieces of evidence on the cutting room floor.”
In fact, those newly released pages of evidence “detailed how a ‘source known as T1’ provided the FBI eight thumb drives of data, which included material hacked from the Executive Office of the President, the State Department, the U.S. House of Representatives, various federal agencies, as well as some non-profit organizations, such as George Soros’ Open Society Foundation and the Atlantic Council. T1 later provided the FBI additional data, referred to in the Clinton Annex as ‘Post-8 data.’”
That’s where the “purported communications between the then-chair of the Democratic National Committee, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, and individuals working for Soros’ Open Society Foundation,” the report said.
“Shocking,” the report said, was the Obama decision to bar the FBI from comprehensively reviewing the thumb drive evidence, even though it was demanding access to congressional phone records in his pursuit of something to use against Trump.
“So, not only did the Obama and Biden Administration go to great lengths to protect Hillary Clinton, they went to unconstitutional lengths to get Trump,” the report said.

Starting the Day With a Scripture-Inspired Roast Helps Center Your Thoughts on Eternal Truths Amid Temporal Pressures
The world can seem chaotic, especially right after we wake up. Many believers start their mornings reaching for something familiar — a hot cup of coffee — yet end up settling for mediocre brews that do little more than deliver a caffeine jolt. The daily grind of life, with its endless distractions, news cycles, and responsibilities, can leave even the most faithful feeling spiritually parched alongside their physical fatigue. What if your morning ritual could do more than wake you up? What if it could ground you in truth, nourish your body with exceptional quality, and quietly advance a kingdom purpose at the same time?
That’s the promise — and the reality — behind Promised Grounds Coffee. This Christian-founded company doesn’t just roast beans; it approaches every step as an act of worship and discipleship. By selecting only the top 10% of specialty-grade beans, ethically sourced from dedicated farmers in Central and South America, and small-batch roasting them with reverence in Austin, Texas, Promised Grounds delivers what many describe as the best coffee available — never burnt, never bland, but rich with origin stories and layered flavors that honor God’s creation.
From the vibrant Psalm 27 Roast (a light, bright medium option) to the bold yet peaceful 2 Timothy 1:7 Decaf, each bag carries a Scripture verse that turns your daily pour into a gentle reminder of faith. And through their Ounce Per Ounce Promise, every ounce of coffee you enjoy provides an equal ounce of clean water to families in need via partnership with Filter of Hope — literally brewing hope for body and soul, one cup at a time.
The challenge for today’s Christians runs deeper than finding a decent cup. In an age of convenience-driven consumerism, it’s easy to support companies that dilute values or remain silent on matters of faith. Many believers want their everyday choices — from what they drink to how they spend — to reflect discipleship rather than just convenience. Promised Grounds solves this by weaving Christian excellence into the entire process: beans nurtured with prayerful stewardship by farming families, roasted as an offering rather than a commodity, and packaged with Bible verses to encourage a mindset of gratitude and purpose from the first sip. Reviewers consistently praise the smooth, rich profiles — whether enjoyed black in a drip maker, iced on a warm day, or shared in fellowship — noting how the quality stands toe-to-toe with premium secular brands while delivering something far more meaningful.
This integration of faith and flavor addresses a real need in Christian households and ministries. Busy parents, church leaders, and remote workers alike report that starting the day with a Scripture-inspired roast helps center their thoughts on eternal truths amid temporal pressures. The coffee’s exceptional character — bright citrus notes in lighter roasts or deep chocolate undertones in bolder ones — comes from meticulous selection and careful roasting that respects the bean’s natural gifts rather than masking them. It’s the kind of coffee that elevates a simple quiet time, fuels productive workdays, or sparks meaningful conversations when shared at Bible studies or outreach events. And because it’s ethically sourced with integrity, every purchase supports sustainable livelihoods for farmers who treat their crops like family harvests.
For those leading churches or small groups, the impact multiplies. Promised Grounds offers bundles and options perfect for hospitality ministries, turning ordinary coffee service into an opportunity to point people toward the living water of Christ. Imagine greeting visitors with a warm cup whose very bag carries God’s Word — a subtle yet powerful witness that aligns with the Great Commission. The company’s Texas roots and commitment to “brewing hope” resonate especially with believers who value American enterprise paired with global compassion.
Of course, quality alone isn’t enough if the experience feels out of reach. Promised Grounds keeps it accessible with practical perks like free shipping on orders over $40, sample sets for discovering favorites, and thoughtful add-ons such as faith-themed mugs. Whether you prefer whole beans for fresh grinding, grounds for convenience, or even bulk options for larger households and ministries, the result is consistently superior coffee that makes discipleship feel integrated rather than added on.
As you consider how to align even the smallest habits with your walk with God, Promised Grounds Coffee stands out as a refreshing solution. It tackles the dual problems of subpar daily sustenance and disconnected consumption by offering a product that genuinely excels in taste while advancing a mission of clean water, farmer dignity, and scriptural encouragement. Believers who make the switch often describe it as more than a beverage upgrade — it becomes part of their rhythm of gratitude, a daily invitation to remember that every good gift comes from above.
If you’re ready to transform your mornings (and perhaps your church gatherings) with coffee that honors both exceptional craftsmanship and Christian values, I encourage you to explore what Promised Grounds has to offer. One sip at a time, you’ll be nourishing your body, refreshing your spirit, and participating in something far greater — all while enjoying what truly is among the best coffee available.
