Obama’s Trump-Russia collusion report was corrupt from start: CIA review

A bombshell new CIA review of the Obama administration’s spy agencies assessment that Russia interfered in the 2016 presidential election to help Donald Trump was deliberately corrupted by then-CIA Director John Brennan, FBI Director James Comey, and Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, who were “excessively involved” in its drafting, and rushed its completion in a “chaotic,” “atypical” and “markedly unconventional” process which raised questions of a “potential political motive.”

Further, Brennan’s decision to include the discredited Steele Dossier, against the objections of the CIA’s most senior Russia experts, “undermined the credibility” of the assessment.

The “Tradecraft Review of the 2016 Intelligence Community Assessment [ICA] on Russian Election Interference” was conducted by career professionals at the CIA’s Directorate of Analysis and was commissioned by CIA director John Ratcliffe in May

“This was Obama, Comey, Clapper and Brennan deciding were going to screw Trump,” said Ratcliffe in an exclusive interview.

“It was, ‘we’re going to create this and put the imprimatur of an IC assessment in a way that nobody can question it.’ They stamped it as Russian collusion and then classified it so nobody could see it.

“This led to Mueller [the special counsel inquiry which concluded after two years that there was no Trump-Russia collusion]. It put the seal of approval of the intelligence community that Russia was helping Trump and that the Steele Dossier was the scandal of our lifetime. It ate up the first two years of his [Trump’s first] presidency.

“You see how Brennan and Clapper and Comey manipulated [and] silenced all the career professionals and railroaded the process.”

File under "duh," but it's nice to get written confirmation.

America not doing everything in its power to keep Obama away from the White House was the greatest mistake in our history.

So when will Brennan and Clapper be publicly hanged for treason at the highest level, insurrection against the Constitution, and organizing a coup against an elected President?

Obozo is a good example of electing a foreign national to high political office. He is just a Soros stooge as is Mami.

“ not one of these traitors will ever face justice.”

And THAT is the far bigger scandal and downfall of the Republic. It’s hard to preserve the USA when evil no-rules bastards like those four are afoot with their skullduggery.

Obama lied -- his FBI spied.

Way worse than Watergate.

* the cure is common sense and turning off MSM, it will slowly cure both the Trump and Russian Derangement Syndrome.

Brennan and Clapper and Comey

If they were in jail, we'd have justice.

The question is - who controls Obama? Who/what has arranged opportunities and cover for him?

“””The question is - who controls Obama? Who/what has arranged opportunities and cover for him?”””

I have always wondered who his puppetmaster is. He didn’t go from nobody to President in a few years without a major support system.

That they are not puts the lie to the left's rabid claims that Trump's second term would be all about revenge.

His second term has been focused on pushing through the agenda he ran on. As much as we would love to have revenge, we won't get it. First because the courts involved would be in DC and NY, where convictions would be virtually impossible. Second, because it would be a huge distraction from Trump's agenda, and with the media's collusion, would be portrayed as banana republic political persecution, and proof that Trump is a dictator/king. Maybe toward they end of his presidency, conditions will be better, but I won't hold my breath.

Yes, a major support system his entire life.

(I still suspect his father might be Malcolm X)

OK so who goes to jail and who looses their federal pension to insure that this kind of election tampering never happens again? Is that asking too much. It really needs to be everybody who touched and passed on those documents. It needs to be an object lesson to the entire deep state.
