When Obama administration officials manufactured U.S. intelligence tying Donald Trump to Moscow following his stunning 2016 victory, they had no idea Trump’s own political appointees would help them undermine Trump’s presidency – and his chances of reelection in 2020.
RCI’s review of recently declassified documents and exclusive interviews with former Trump officials reveals for the first time how key members of Trump’s cabinet and other appointees during his first term shrouded the previous administration’s machinations and either deliberately or inadvertently misled the public into thinking the fake Russiagate intelligence was real.

Every one who was involved should be tried for treason and if found guilty, executed. What if a group of people had done that to Bill Clinton? What would Hillary most assuredly have done? SOMEONE ANSWER THE QUESTION!!!
Out of all these names Mike Pompeo is the biggest disappointment. The others we pretty much knew they were rats. I had been hopeful that Durham was an honest player but as time drug on it was evident (IMO) that he was part of the coverup. In looking back trusting Pompeo was naive.
Big time!
But Qanon said. “Trust Kansas”.
Maybe he meant Topeka.
Doesn’t fit the Constitutional definition of treason (Article III, Section 3). Possibly sedition, violation of Insurrection Act and other felonies yes. The Constitution (via the FFs -Founding Fathers) deliberately made treason a hard charge to make. Chief Justice Marshall (another FF) set the bar higher still at the Burr trial. If you look at it that’s consistent particularly modern history. YOU DO NOT WANT IT TO BE EASY TO DO! Do that and the next Rat administration will have you up against the wall!
My take is that Pompeo is not a bad guy. He lacks discernment.
Trump has a nasty habit of picking losers who turn on him. Hasn’t changed. Look at the 3 stooges at DOJ/FBI.
Number 1, Gina Haspel. It cannot be ignored that when Steele was writing his “dossier” in the U.K. Gina Haspel was the CIA station chief for all the U.K. And then, during the transition between Obama and Trump Gina Haspel was moved back to CIA HQ at Langely. From where later she becomes deputy to the CIA director; and then confirmed by the Senate as the CIA Director.
Number 2, I suspect a Durham-Haspel deep connection that remains unexposed.
Together Haspel and Durham kept what was already known about the Obama originated “Russia, Russia, Russia” hoax from being declassified and not being declassified others chose to not go out on a limb with allegations only the declassified investigation could prove.
