The "Crossfire Hurricane" investigation represents one of the most concerning abuses of power in modern American history. What began as opposition research funded by political opponents evolved into a full-scale intelligence and law enforcement operation targeting Donald J. Trump’s presidential campaign and later administration.
What did John Brennan do?
The following individuals played pivotal roles in what many now view as a coordinated effort to surveil, delegitimize, and ultimately remove a duly elected president using the powers of government agencies. Their actions reveal a troubling pattern of bias, conflicts of interest, and legal abuses that threaten our entire Constitutional order.
1. Hillary Clinton: As the 2016 Democratic candidate, she allegedly funded the “Russia Collusion” dossier through her campaign, which was used to justify FISA surveillance on Trump associates.
Destroying emails under subpoena… not a crime if a Democrat does it.
Her deletion of 33,000 emails after a congressional subpoena demonstrated a flagrant disregard for legal obligations and transparency, while simultaneously pushing unsubstantiated collusion narratives against her opponent.
2. James Comey: As FBI Director, Comey drafted an exoneration letter for Clinton before interviewing key witnesses, then leaked memos to spur a special counsel appointment. His unprecedented press conference on the Clinton investigation and subsequent actions regarding the Trump investigation revealed a pattern of decisions that consistently benefited Clinton while damaging Trump, raising serious questions about his impartiality.
3. Andrew McCabe: Acting FBI Director, McCabe allegedly ordered a "stand down" on the Clinton Foundation probe, with his wife receiving $700,000 from Clinton allies for her political campaign. While overseeing investigations touching both candidates, he failed to recuse himself despite this glaring conflict of interest, and later admitted to authorizing leaks to the media to shape the narrative.
4. Peter Strzok: An FBI agent with a text message trail revealing anti-Trump bias, Strzok altered "grossly negligent" to "extremely careless" in Clinton's investigation. As the lead agent on both the Clinton email and Trump-Russia investigations, his documented promise to "stop" Trump from becoming president severely compromised the integrity of both investigations.
5. Lisa Page: FBI attorney and Strzok's mistress, Page texted about stopping Trump while part of the Russia investigation team. Her extensive communications with Strzok revealed not only personal impropriety but also a concerning level of political motivation driving investigative decisions, including discussions of an "insurance policy" against Trump's presidency.
6. Bruce Ohr: A DOJ official, Ohr connected Christopher Steele with the FBI even after Steele was fired, with his wife working for Fusion GPS. This undisclosed back-channel allowed disgraced sources to continue feeding information into investigations, circumventing official protocols and hiding crucial conflicts of interest from oversight bodies.
7. Nellie Ohr: Worked for Fusion GPS on anti-Trump research while her husband was at DOJ, creating a clear conflict. Her application for a ham radio license during this period suggests an attempt to create covert communications channels, while her research specifically targeted Trump family members, indicating the political nature of her work.
8. Christopher Steele: Former MI6 agent, Steele authored the unverified dossier, paid by Clinton's campaign. Despite being terminated as an FBI source for leaking to the media and admitting in court that his information was unverified, his work continued to be presented as credible to FISA courts through Bruce Ohr's back-channel.
9. Glenn Simpson: Founder of Fusion GPS, hired to research Trump, Simpson's role in dossier creation was crucial. He strategically placed dossier information with media outlets while simultaneously feeding it to the FBI, creating the false impression of multiple sources corroborating the same information when in reality it all stemmed from a single politically-funded source.
10. Sally Yates: Acting AG, Yates warned the White House about Flynn, part of efforts to undermine Trump, and was fired for insubordination. Her role in approving FISA applications based on the unverified dossier and her subsequent actions regarding the transition demonstrate a concerning politicization of her position.
11. Loretta Lynch: As AG during Clinton's email probe, Lynch's secret tarmac meeting with Bill Clinton raises impartiality questions. Her refusal to recuse herself entirely from the Clinton investigation despite this clear conflict, and her pressure on Comey to refer to the investigation as a "matter" rather than an investigation, reveal improper political considerations.
12. John Brennan: CIA Director, Brennan briefed Obama on alleged collusion and later admitted to spying on Trump's campaign. As evidence shows, he allegedly insisted on including the Steele dossier in intelligence assessments despite objections about its reliability, elevating politically-funded opposition research to the status of intelligence product.
13. James Clapper: DNI, Clapper lied to Congress about surveillance and signed Russia interference assessments. He admitted to leaking information about the dossier briefing to CNN, creating the "news hook" needed to legitimize reporting on the dossier's unsubstantiated claims, effectively weaponizing classified intelligence for political purposes.
14. Susan Rice: National Security Advisor, Rice unmasked Trump associates and emailed herself memos, suggesting cover-up efforts. Her unusual January 20, 2017 email documenting a meeting about the Russia investigation "by the book" appears designed to create an exculpatory record, while her unmasking activities targeted political opponents.
15. Samantha Power: U.S. Ambassador to the UN, Power requested numerous unmaskings, claiming ignorance. The unprecedented volume of unmasking requests under her name (over 260 in 2016) far exceeded normal diplomatic requirements, suggesting a coordinated effort to gather intelligence on the incoming administration.
16. Evelyn Farkas: Former Obama official, Farkas admitted on TV to passing Russia info to media, now a CNN commentator. Her concerning public admission about urging colleagues to preserve and disseminate information about Trump before the Obama administration ended revealed the political motivation behind intelligence activities.
17. Jake Sullivan: Clinton campaign official, Sullivan pushed the Russia narrative, now Biden's NSA. He promoted the false Alpha Bank server story that was later debunked, demonstrating how campaign messaging strategies evolved into law enforcement and intelligence operations with lasting consequences.
18. Michael Sussmann: Perkins Coie attorney, Sussmann provided anti-Trump info to FBI, acquitted of lying but the damage was done. His approach to the FBI while concealing that he represented the Clinton campaign allowed partisan opposition research to be presented as neutral security concerns, manipulating law enforcement resources.
19. Kevin Clinesmith: FBI attorney, Clinesmith altered an email for Carter Page's FISA, pleaded guilty, affecting the legal basis for surveillance. His deliberate falsification of evidence to make Page appear as a foreign agent rather than a CIA asset represents one of the clearest examples of misconduct designed to sustain surveillance on Trump associates.
20. Joseph Pientka: FBI agent, Pientka interviewed Flynn and allegedly withheld exculpatory info, impacting legal proceedings. The original 302 form from his interview with Flynn mysteriously disappeared, raising serious questions about evidence tampering and the integrity of the prosecution.
Of course, an honorary mention goes to one Barack H. Obama. Still-redacted files point to the former president as the architect of the plot against Trump.
Infamous domestic terrorist Bill Ayers is very, very proud of his mentee
Internal reviews and inspector general reports are insufficient; we need transparent, independent investigations that leave no stone unturned into what some have called “The Timeline of Treason”. Wherever wrongdoing is found, criminal prosecutions must follow, irrespective of the individuals' positions or affiliations.
Moreover, structural reforms are essential to safeguard against future abuses of power within our intelligence and justice systems. Where were the Inspectors General? Where is SCOTUS on the rampant abuse of the FISA process?
The American people have a right to understand how political opposition research morphed into a prolonged investigation that undermined Trump’s first term. Failure to hold those responsible accountable risks entrenching further politicization of our government agencies, a danger that transcends party lines
The credibility of our republic hinges on the impartial enforcement of the law, particularly by those sworn to uphold it, and this must be a priority for policymakers and the public alike in 2025 and beyond.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
I am afraid this list is just the tip of the iceberg. How many more were deeply involved in the “Color Revolution” attempt named Crossfire Hurricane?
Serious question: why can these people not be held to account?
No Sympathy for these Devils.
One can only hope that Bondi is building a case against those who haven’t been ‘pardoned’...
...but my other hand is filling fast.
To Democrats, the only crime is not being one.
This is what happens when the insane outnumber the sane - they elect wolves to guard the sheep.
In some cases the statute of limitations bars these Demonicrats from being prosecuted. However, for essentially all of the top Demonicrats, their crimes of treason have no statute of limitations.
They all deserve fair trials and upon convictions, first class hangings.

Perhaps Hollywood will make a movie about the Crossfire Hurricane scandal, similar to “All the Presidents Men.” Perhaps they can get Dustin Hoffmann and Robert Redford to come out of retirement. The movie would have all the ingredients of a potential blockbuster - foreign intrigue, sexual infidelity, salacious allegations, government corruption, international spy games, and the mysterious mastermind behind the whole conspiracy. Oh sorry, I just woke up from the dream.
Trust Sessions. Trust the plan.
Club Gitmo was created just for people like this and it needs to be utilized pronto!!
They could turneth a phrase back then..
:)
bkmk
Donna Rice to the head of the line!
Aren’t those ‘pardons’ moot?
