Schweizer: Gina Haspel Should Be Investigated For Covering Up Russia Conspiracy While CIA Director
The Federalist ^ | July 28, 2025 | Abigail Nichols

Posted on 07/28/2025 2:25:23 PM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

During discussions on Sunday Morning Features about the key players pushing the Russia collusion hoax, Government Accountability Institute President Peter Schweizer threw another name in the hat: Trump-appointed CIA Director Gina Haspel.

Haspel was the CIA station chief in London in 2016 and 2017 under then-CIA Director John Brennan. She was appointed in 2018 and stepped down in January 2021 after she “threatened to resign” if Trump appointed Kash Patel as her deputy, Axios reported.

“What role did she play not only in perhaps creating this, but what role did she play in suppressing it when she was CIA director and she was supposed to be serving Donald Trump rather than the CIA establishment?” Schweizer said. “She certainly had access to this material.”

More information continues to unfold showing that Hillary Clinton, former President Barack Obama, and many other high-level government officials helped spread false allegations that Russia conspired with Donald Trump to try to help him win the 2016 election.

“It’s interesting to me that she had been the London chief of the CIA in the 2000s. In 2014, Brennan sent her back to London, which is a highly unusual move,” Schweizer said.

“Much of the Russia collusion intel — fake intel — was coming out of London from Steele and others,” he said.

In 2020, multiple senior U.S. officials told The Federalist that “Haspel is personally blocking the declassification and release of key Russiagate documents in the hopes that President Donald Trump will lose his re-election bid.”

The officials said that Haspel was concerned the 2016 election intel uncovering CIA activity would “embarrass the CIA and potentially even implicate Haspel herself.”\

Another one of Trumps dismal first term personnel selections

Like he has said many times, he did not know who he could trust and relied on others to help him. He learned what a snake pit DC really is.

Trump was not quite up to speed in his first term on how big the nest of vipers and back stabbers there are in DC. Hard to fill an administration from the lot he had to choose from. On

Yep, but you have to admit, he learned his lesson.

From Comey/McCabe to Patel/Bongino - 180 degrees.

The CIA Director is nominated by the President with the advice, consent, and confirmation of the Senate.

Trump can be accused of not knowing or understanding how the DC swamp worked. As a non-politician, he certainly did not know or understand how the Intel Community worked, or the lawfare tricks that could be run through the DOJ, which in effect is America's KGB (in that it controls all domestic intelligence and investigative power)

Remember that Mitch McConnell controlled all Senate confirmations, including CIA. McConnell gave Trump Jeff Sessions as AG - who almost immediately recused himself on all things Russia, under the flimsiest of pretexts.

That allowed the attack of Russia-gate to commence

Trump was never going to be allowed his own pick to run CIA. That may still be the case, for all I know.

Revenge is a dish best served......after two impeachments, endless investigations, stolen election, piles of criminal charges and getting shot in the head.

At the inauguration W looked like he was chewing on a cat turd covered in burnt hair. He did not seem to enjoy himself that day.

FYI: Gina Haspel was recommended to be CIA director to Trump by Mike Pompeo. Insurrectionists them all.

Or he appointed them knowing they would show their true colors, eventually, a brilliant strategy.
