Hoax on Hoax? Ex-CIA Official Susan Miller Was Not an Author of Key Intelligence Community Assessment, as Claimed
Racket News ^ | July 31, 2025 | MATT TAIBBI

Posted on 07/30/2025 9:10:44 PM PDT by lasereye

In response to last week’s damning official document release about a now-infamous intelligence document that helped launch years of Russiagate madness, CNN wrote:

Retired CIA official Susan Miller, an author of the agency’s 2017 intelligence report on Russian election meddling…

No, she’s not.

“Not an author. Not involved,” says a senior intelligence official.

“There’s a chance she’s on some emails or something like that,” adds another person familiar with the investigation. “But she’s not the author of the ICA… she wasn’t leading this effort. So it’s just totally bizarre that she claims the opposite.”

As if Russiagate weren’t a weird enough story already, the sudden appearance of mysterious former CIA officer Susan Miller in a high-profile media campaign reduces the affair to a freak show. In a story about one of the most elaborate media frauds in history, in which the CIA used phony intelligence to prop up a rushed report insisting Russian President Vladimir Putin meddled in the 2016 election on behalf of Donald Trump, it’s only fitting that the person leading the media defense of the original intelligence is not an author of the report in question and may not be significantly involved at all.

...snip

After each of these events, Miller appeared to issue strident objections, saying Gabbard and the White House are “lying,” saying Trump is “acting like” a Russian asset, even doubling and tripling down on the Steele Dossier.

The crucial first detail about these appearances is that Miller is introduced in virtually every one as a “principal author,” “author,” or team leader of the ICA.

I can only see 2 possible reasons for her to do this, if you guys can come up with others, please post them:

1. She’s being paid to take the fall for Obama, or someone much bigger than herself.

2. She’s trying to derail the investigation by getting the prosecutors to waste time trying to tie all this to her, which she knows leads to a dead-end. Wasting time, and hoping for the midterms to swap control of at least the house.

What you say makes sense. Hopefully the good guys see it for what it is and aren’t diverted away from the most important things. But this should be useful information that will pay off.

It’s very convenient isn’t it? To have someone that can claim to have all kinds of intimate knowledge and years of expertise to lend credibility to her media appearances, yet who can’t be charge with anything “because she didn’t write it”.

Usually the left doesn’t come out so well when they try to get clever, so we’ll see.

This article, basically a biography of Miller dated July 1, 2025 says she and Sheetal Patel wrote the report on whether or not the Russians tried to interfere in the 2016 election.

Excerpt dealing with the writing of the report:

"Patel and Miller worked with their team to produce a report on whether or not the Russians tried to interfere in the 2016 election. To them, it was cut and dry: the Russians have tried to interfere in every presidential election in recent memory but there is no feasible way to tell if their efforts affected the outcome.

The standard analytic report became a political lightning rod. When Trump was briefed by the director of the CIA, he was not happy, Miller said. Both Miller and Patel said Trump saw the report as a “deep state” conspiracy and a “witch hunt,” instructing his attorney general to criminally charge those involved in compiling it.

That meant Miller and Patel.

Miller was dragged into an eight-hour interrogation about her methods for crafting the paper targeted at discerning political bias. The investigation eventually found none and she never officially heard from them again."

Found another article on Miller dated July 29, 2025 from The Daily Caller. In it Miller says: "I refused to put the dossier in our report as it could not be corroborated. Sorry to ruin your view of me as a left wing Republican hater. I was overseas for a tour from 19-22. I k ow [sic] nothing about the laptop letter, but will look it up.”

"In a July podcast with 'SpyTalk,' She claimed her team found evidence that Russia preferred a Trump presidency in 2016, [We now know that claim is pure bullshit], but they did not have evidence Trump knowingly cooperated with the Kremlin. Miller told 'SpyTalk' her team added the unverified Steele Dossier to the final report because the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) would not approve the final report without the dossier’s inclusion. [So she allowed the FBI to cow her into including the dossier into the assessment.]

Miller was upset and said she did not have time to verify the dossier’s claims before the report was published. She said the dossier could be true because she has not verified or discounted the sources in the dossier.

“'Maybe it was real,” she said." [In 2025, this dimwit thinks the dossier could still be true].

When did it become the media's role to "defend" the government intelligence agencies?

Short clip from Megyn Kelly’s show about Miller and a clip from an interview of Miller on 7/17/25 being asked if she knows of any evidence that Trump is a Russian asset.

Her evidence is ”…a post I saw on the internet”.

Nothing but a partisan hack.

The question I just thought of is: why was the FBI involved with the intelligence assessment, and why did they have last say, according to Miller, about the Steele Dossier being included in it?

Democrats are liars. This behavior is totally reprehensible. How many lies do these people think they can get away with?

It became the media’s role when Democrats found themselves in a bind for lying. That’s the view of some prominent members of the media.

Trump’s sin, in their view, was that he doesn’t kowtow to them.

Actually, it was.

Russia spent on the order of tens of thousands of dollars, an absolute pittance, on a Facebook campaign that both attacked Hillary and promoted leftist causes like Black Lives Matter and radical homosexuality.

It should be pretty clear that the overall effect was hugely to support radical leftism, more likely to destroy America than to reflect Putin’s communist roots. The anti-Clinton ads were an absolute joke and went nowhere. The BLM ads went insanely viral, so the effect of the overall campaign was to strongly support DEMOCRAT candidates.

So why the anti-Clinton ads? So they could do no actual harm to Clinton, but fly a false-flag operation that was really intend to do to Trump EXACTLY what the Democrats did to Trump. I don’t know they actually needed to coordinate the collusion, but they couldn’t’ve worked better together if the media and the Democrats and the DC alphabet soup were holding daily conferences.

Who really swung Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania? NumbersUSA had a brilliant strategy to collect eight million supporters and then use them to make ads go viral on Facebook, resulting in a BILLION ad views that were completely invisible to the Democrats. That’s why Facebook took steps to prevent political ads from going viral.
