New revelations suggest a conspiracy at the heart of the Obama White House to target Trump as a Russian agent.
It’s beginning to look like the Obama administration was all-in on the Russia collusion hoax long before Trump won the 2016 election.
On Monday, Fox News reported that before the FBI ever launched its politicized probe of the Trump campaign’s possible ties to Russia in the summer of 2016, U.S. intelligence agencies had “credible foreign sources” indicating the FBI would help spread the Russia collusion hoax, which of course is exactly what happened.
It’s the latest twist in a string of shocking new revelations about how the U.S. intelligence community, at the behest of then-President Barack Obama, manufactured and disseminated a false narrative that Moscow was working to get Trump elected in 2016.
The “credible foreign sources” that predicted the FBI would run an intelligence operation against Trump in the summer of 2016 were almost certainly Russian sources. Back in September of 2020, my colleagues Sean Davis and Mollie Hemingway reported that then-Director of National Intelligence (now CIA director) John Ratcliffe told congressional officials that top U.S. intelligence officials knew that Moscow was aware of Hillary Clinton’s campaign plan to accuse Trump of being a Russian asset.
Former CIA Director John Brennan, said Ratcliffe, personally briefed then-President Obama and top U.S. national security officials that Moscow had determined Clinton had approved a plan in late July 2016, “to vilify Donald Trump by stirring up a scandal claiming interference by Russian security services,” according to Brennan’s own handwritten notes.
In September of that year, former FBI Director James Comey was sent an investigative referral regarding Moscow’s alleged knowledge of Clinton’s plans to paint Trump as a treasonous Russian agent. But instead of investigating whether the Clinton campaign had been infiltrated by Russian intelligence, Comey went about obtaining federal warrants to spy on Trump’s campaign.
What’s more, we know that Christopher Steele, whose infamous dossier wound up being a key source for the 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) that falsely claimed Russian President Vladimir Putin “aspired” for Trump to win the election, was at the time on the payroll of sanctioned Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska. And his primary subsource for the dossier, Igor Danchenko, was long suspected of being a Russian intelligence asset.
All of which helps shed light on what was reported Monday. Ratcliffe, according to Fox News, is going to declassify the underlying intelligence that reveals that “credible foreign sources” knew about the FBI’s plans to promote the Trump-Russia narrative. Part of that intelligence is a classified annex in former Special Counsel John Durham’s investigation into the origins of the FBI’s Trump-Russia probe.
Fox News quoted an anonymous source familiar with the contents of the annex who said that the intelligence collected from these foreign sources predicted the FBI’s next move, in the summer of 2016, “with alarming specificity.”
“Ultimately, the release of the classified annex will lend more credibility to the assertion that there was a coordinated plan inside the U.S. government to help the Clinton campaign stir up controversy connecting Trump to Russia,” the source told Fox News.
Together with what we now know about Obama’s involvement in all of this, especially after Trump had won the election, it looks very much like what Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard called it last week: a treasonous conspiracy and a years-long coup against a duly elected president.
In particular, as my colleague Margot Cleveland reported in these pages yesterday, the extent of Obama’s personal involvement is deeper than previously reported. Last week’s release of the House Permanent Selection Committee on Intelligence’s (HPSCI) report summarizing its investigation into the drafting of the ICA exposed how then-CIA Director Brennan ordered the publication of three substandard intelligence reports. These reports, together with the Steele dossier, “became foundational sources for the ICA judgments that Putin preferred Trump over Clinton.”
But as Cleveland notes, the recently declassified HPSCI report also reveals Obama’s central role in this scheme. Investigators and the ICA authors were “denied access to a trove of information on grounds of executive or congressional privilege,” according to the HPSCI report. One FBI analyst, the report says, argued that this intelligence should be shared with those responsible for drafting the ICA, but the Obama administration “denied ICA drafters access to this intelligence on grounds of Executive or Congressional privilege.”....SNIP

I wish I still had contact with leftist coworkers in Colorado who, in 2016, were bouncing off the walls about Trump and Russia Collusion. Of course I knew early on that it was a dirty trick by Hillary and I even knew the dollar amounts funneled by Hillary, the DNC account she controlled and by Obama through Perkins Coie to Steele. But trying to tell leftists anything is pretty much wasted energy. I wonder if they feel foolish now or if they still believe it.
They probably still believe it. Most lefties erect active barriers to seeing inconvenient truths.
An anonymous source citing anonymous foreign sources. This scandal is in need of some substance if it’s going to have any legs.
Straight-forward treason. Starting with Hillary and Obama, they all need to be charged, tried, convicted, and sentenced to a short drop and quick stop.
Some that I’ve interacted with for years still believe in Trump Russian collusion.
They are impervious to truth.
“But trying to tell leftists anything is pretty much wasted energy. I wonder if they feel foolish now or if they still believe it”.
They will never admit they were wrong. They never do.
All in all, they tried to rig the election in their favor by planting false evidence of a crime which they manufactured Jussie Smollett style.
No, it’s EXACTLY what I thought it was.
The headline is directed at the ignorant centrists (the turncoats).
Additionally, it’s becoming strikingly clear that both the dems and ds never expected the likes of DJT to return to power.
But my other hand filled weeks ago. All I can expect now if to hopefully forever destroy zero’s so-called ‘legacy’ with facts and compel the left to defend his actions (which a majority of dems will likely do).
Straight-forward treason. Starting with Hillary and Obama, they all need to be charged, tried, convicted, and sentenced to a short drop and quick stop.
Agree, but unfortunately nothing will happen with these two !! The Lib/Dem/Insane class will deny deny deny more vociferously than the OJ defenders ! Obama would claim immunity although it will be obvious he continued to promote the treason long after he was no longer President and not subject to such immunity. Hillary - untouchable - no prosecutor wants to commit suicide !

Yup.

They are busy reinforcing their echo chamber to rationalize their positions.
My $$ bet.
It’s so bad, nobody is getting arrested
Cognitive Dissonance is painful, and I believe Lefties will go to any lengths, no matter how specious, to avoid the pain of having your belief systems challenged.
Many of my Democrat ex-friends still believe Trump is a Russian asset, closet KKK member, and a pedophone who raped his own daughter. Some have whispered that all the women in his administration must prove their loyalty by sleeping with him! I have tried to tell them—IF Putin wanted him to win, he would have spilled what he knew about Hillary to him. They rather believe the lie rather than see the truth. I live in deep blue coastal California—and I have lost big for my support of President Trump. Besides that—I still think Trump is the greatest president in the Decade.
Wouldn’t the individual Russians, who the US sanctioned be able to sue for the bogus allegations? Cost them money.
If convicted they should go to the Electric Chair—but not Obama—I would not want him to become a martyr. All the others can sit where lightning strikes.
It seems all the released documents are in and of themselves sufficient evidence for indictments....instead we will probably get secondary months long DOJ investigations - of what is already known.
No one is going to jail.
