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. Former Special Counsel John Durham, former National Security Adviser...

A Trump-appointed federal prosecutor in Miami has launched a probe into a 'grand conspiracy' by Democrats led by Barack Obama to destroy Trump's political ambitions.Jason Reding Quinones, US Attorney for the Southern District of Florida, has subpoenaed at least 30 Obama officials involved with an investigation into Trump's 2016 presidential campaign, The New York Times reported.The Miami probe follows up on a far right theory that Obama officials used the 'hoax' investigation in an in attempt to jail Trump after the 2016 election.Quinones has now issued more than two dozen subpoenas, some to officials who took part in the Russia...

House Select Subcommittee on January 6 Chairman Barry Loudermilk on Monday sent a letter to the Secret Service requesting transcribed interviews with Secret Service agents who were at the Democratic National Committee (DNC) before and after the mysterious pipe bomb was discovered prior to the Capitol riot on January 6, 2021. The FBI has been stumped over the suspect who placed the pipe bomb, who still remains unidentified, even after it dropped several surveillance videos of the suspect who was in a gray hoodie and wearing Nike Air Max Speed Turf sneakers and a mask. The FBI is also offering...

🧵🚨 MAJOR BREAKING: International actors are involved in the State Department led color revolution 🚨🚨 This is not speculation; it’s straight from a recorded call. Ex-USAID employees describe how, before January 20, they moved internal groups off government systems and into encrypted Signal chats, then quickly linked with foreign partners and NGOs after the inauguration. This attempt at creating a color revolution isn't new news; this part was already reported in NOTUS earlier this year. But what's not reported is the international aspect. One participant explicitly frames it as "a global anti-authoritarian movement," connecting U.S. officials with "colleagues from around...

Many people have asked for videos to outline key details about how the systems of the intelligence apparatus were weaponized against President Trump. Well, friend of the Treehouse John Spiropoulos is doing exactly that. These video segments are not outlines of supposition, guesswork or possibility. In true CTH mission focus, Spiropoulos makes his presentations full of fact-based citations for scrutiny and review. Citations, timelines and verifiable receipts are how truthful information cuts through the AI silo filtration; the tech effort to control speech by controlling reach.John is working hard to put much of the information from our research library into...

What was said in the former ICIG Atkinson’s interview regarding the first Trump impeachment, that Adam Schiff did all he could to keep it hidden to this date? We know: https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2025/11/05/the-hidden-transcript-of-intelligence-community-inspector-general-michael-atkinson-testimony-is-the-key-to-reveal-cia-targeting-of-president-donald-trump/ We knew that the interview with ICIG Atkinson must have been bad because Adam Schiff kept it hidden till this date. https://x.com/TheLastRefuge2/status/1986168316365242647? ...more

To conservatives, Arctic Frost is a scandal. To Democrats, it’s their new baseline. And the only way to stop it is to punish them.If you’re reading this, there is a good chance Joe Biden’s Justice Department tried to throw you in prison.That is the inescapable conclusion of whistleblower documents from inside the DOJ and FBI about the Biden Administration’s Arctic Frost operation. It turns out Arctic Frost was never the inquiry into Donald Trump and Jan. 6 that Attorney General Merrick Garland and Special Counsel Jack Smith said it was. Rather, it was an unprecedented, illegal conspiracy of partisan prosecutors...

In December of 2016, President Obama turned to Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and CIA Director John Brennan with a request to change the Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) and blame the Russians for election interference in the prior presidential election. Brennan gave the task of assembling the fraudulent intel to a CIA analyst named Julia Gurganus. Subsequently, inside the CIA the National Intelligence Council (NIC) and the Directorate of Analysis began working on a pretext that would create the impression for the misleading Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) as demanded by Obama, Clapper and Brennan; ultimately it was constructed by...

New director Patel brings the receipt as the DOJ pushes back on claims that it selectively or vindictively charged James Comey. James Comey played the victim card in fighting his indictment on charges of misleading Congress, but that strategy boomeranged when prosecutors and his old agency released an avalanche of new evidence showing the ex-FBI director hoped to please Hillary Clinton, cheered on media leaks he claimed he did not sanction, and wrote emails and notes that directly conflict with his past congressional testimony.Part of that unflattering portrait of Comey, prosecutors revealed Monday, came from long-hidden files that the...

If you are about democracy and election integrity, you need to watch this video. We interviewed a resident of Detroit who has been tireless in his attempt to uncover the cheating that went on during the 2020 Presidential election…

FIRST ON FOX: Two major phone carriers took sharply different paths when former special counsel Jack Smith's team subpoenaed phone records tied to Republican lawmakers in 2023, according to the redacted subpoenas and letters first shared with Fox News Digital. The documents, provided by the office of Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, reveal Verizon's compliance and AT&T's resistance when faced with Smith's requests, which were part of Arctic Frost, the FBI probe that led to Smith bringing election charges against President Donald Trump. The 12 phone numbers on the subpoena to Verizon are redacted and replaced by Grassley's office with the...

I thought, no way. This can't be real.It's real!Scroll down to the Major Events Timeline and flip through the various photos.I'm freakin' dying here!

...(setting aside the meaningless, for-show charges against a bunch of random Russians no one has ever heard of and no one will ever see anyway). I’ve followed this case closely since 2018 because, even among all the injustices carried out by Mueller’s thugs, this one stood out as particularly grotesque. I’ll write more about it later, but in short: Mueller’s team went through General Flynn’s old client list and targeted one of his former clients on a matter that had nothing to do with Trump or Russia, purely to pressure him into saying something damaging about Flynn and by extension,...

Obviously, readers here are well aware of our research files on former DOJ-NSD head, Mary McCord, and her various tentacles of operations against Donald Trump before and after the 2016 election.To enhance this ongoing effort, Twitter user “pepesgrandma” shares an email exchange from Mary McCord to the FBI in December of 2020 following the election.Apparently, Mary McCord was conducting surveillance of an Oathkeeper chat room and sending information to the FBI following the November 2020 election, and in the runup to the January 6, 2021 protest.[SOURCE]This is interesting on a variety of levels, because we have documented Mary McCord working...

Defiant New York Attorney General Letitia James slammed President Donald Trump's 'desperate weaponization' of the Department of Justice following a bombshell indictment accusing her of mortgage fraud.The attorney general - who has been a major critic of Trump and launched a successful civil lawsuit against him in February 2023 for business fraud - stood tall in a video response to the indictment Thursday evening.'This is nothing more than a continuation of the president's desperate weaponization of our justice system,' she wrote on X. 'I am not fearful - I am fearless,' she declared, vowing: 'We will fight these baseless charges...

At this point, it feels like every week brings another revelation about how far the Biden regime went to weaponize the government against its political enemies. And the American people are exhausted… not from outrage, but from watching bombshell after bombshell drop with no accountability. They’ve seen enough corruption to fill a 10-story library but still haven’t seen a single perp walk. So, the fatigue is real, and it’s justified. The latest scandal involves Operation Arctic Frost, and hopefully, this is the final straw. We now know that under Biden’s watch, the FBI and Jack Smith secretly spied on nine...

Thankfully, people in Washington DC are finally starting to realize the full scale of the Obama surveillance system. All of the evidence and datapoints -released and yet to surface- flow in one direction. Even the professionally reluctant are starting to admit. What Obama, Biden, Comey, Crossfire Hurricane, Robert Mueller, Arctic Frost and Jack Smith were doing, was using their offices -and govt systems- to watch their opposition, spy on them, then take action based on the results. Friend of the Treehouse John Spiropoulos put together a series of videos explaining how President Obama, FBI Director James Comey and CIA Director...

Ralph Pezzullo and Stephen Gardner get deep into why Trump is gearing up for war with Venezuela. Imagine being briefed with evidence that Venezuela has been rigging elections with US AID tax payer money. Imagine learning they also been rigging elections in the US. https://amzn.to/46PPAun Stolen Elections sounds like a spy novel but its all true. http://ralphpezzulloauthor.com/ Tulsi Gabbard, President Donald Trump, Marco Rubio and others have been briefed on the mechanics of rigging elections. This is why some many have been fired, Tulsi Gabbard says our election systems are vulnerable, Trump won the presidency but his down ticket went...

There’s a reason why the J6 Committee deleted the records of their activity, an angle missed by most. When you understand what they hid and why they did it, you then understand why current Speaker of The House Mike Johnson will not go near the subject. The J6 Committee used interfaces with the NSA database and pre-existing portals with aligned DHS Social Media databases (including Twitter, see prior “Twitter Files”), as research and evidence gathering mechanisms for their investigations. The J6 targets were identified through a collaboration between the legislative research group and the FBI. [That’s unlawful by the way...
