“With apologies for bluntness, the mainstream press f[--]d around, now the mainstream press is finding out.” —Matt Taibbi. By now, it must be kind of obvious that Mr. Putin of Russia was staged-up into a demon for the convenience of Hillary Clinton — resulting in a decade of deformed US foreign relations that has dragged us to the edge of a third world war. Nice work, Democratic Party! I will proffer a harsh truth to you: the best outcome in Ukraine would be for Russia to win the war as expeditiously as possible, neutralize and disarm the place, change-out its...

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard confirmed that the 2020 election was compromised, and the federal government knew about it. Earlier this year, during a high-level Cabinet meeting with President Trump, she disclosed that the Intelligence Community has been investigating election interference and tampering with electronic voting systems, including signs of foreign and domestic actors manipulating vote totals. “I’ve got a long list of things that we’re investigating. We have the best going after this, election integrity being one of them,” Gabbard said. She continued, “We have evidence of how these electronic voting systems have been vulnerable to hackers for...

George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley said Thursday on Fox News’ “Hannity” that the legacy media refuses to cover new Russiagate revelations because doing so would require them to admit they played a role in the cover-up. Since the allegations emerged involving officials from the Obama administration and Hillary Clinton’s campaign, corporate media has largely shifted its focus to other issues. While discussing the legal side of the scandal, Fox News’ Sean Hannity asked Turley who should “be worried” about potential legal repercussions. “Well, there’s a lot of people worried in this city tonight. This is the great reveal...

John, just lawyer up and prepare to be charged at this point. The man isn’t doing anything to tilt the needle by penning New York Times op-eds and going on MSNBC. We know what you did—Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard exposed it, and you must deal with the fallout. There’s no spinning it, no hiding from it, and no avoiding it: the Russian collusion hoax was a seditious conspiracy to destroy the Trump White House, and you were one of the main henchmen. Yesterday was the anniversary of the FBI’s Crossfire Hurricane investigation into Donald Trump. That collusion delusion...

The press that lied about Russia is not backing off after seeing the Durham Annex. Instead is in denial or looking for a new spin.Every parasite needs a host. Ticks need dogs, tapeworms need fat Victorian chicks, and Democrats need the propaganda press.The clues for how the propaganda machine was set in motion to benefit Hillary Clinton’s scandal-ridden 2016 campaign are found in the declassified “Durham Annex,” released to the public Thursday by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa.The formula for selling the public on a campaign lie — in this case, that Donald Trump colluded with Russia to...

The long-classified annex from the Durham report tells us what Nancy was really up to. This May 16, 2016 quote from Nancy Pelosi has haunted me: “Donald Trump is not going to be President of the United States. Take it to the bank, I guarantee it.” All these years, I’ve wondered, how could she be so certain? This wasn’t just the usual campaign hyperbole. Her phrasing was simple noun-verb construction, nakedly declarative, and absolutely certain. She left herself absolutely no wiggle-room for later, just in case. Seasoned politicians don’t do that sort of thing typically and Nancy Pelosi is most...

“Deflection,” “Distraction” and “Dishonest” are just some of the accusations leveled at President Trump recently for saying he’d like to look into past Democrat conspiracies against him. The President’s critics have claimed that he is simply trying to push attention away from the Jeffrey Epstein story. Even some of the President’s defenders have sighed that surely he should focus on moving forward and not get distracted by these past problems. But putting aside for a moment the fact that President Trump has shown himself able to do more than one thing at a time, he is right to bring up...

A declassified annex from John Durham's report sheds new light on the Clinton Plan to falsely tie Trump to Putin, with the expectation that the FBI would join in too. Newly-declassified so-called Clinton Plan intelligence included intercepted communications from a George Soros ally which suggested that Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign against Donald Trump was plotting a “long-term affair to demonize” Trump by linking him to Russian leader Vladimir Putin, and that the Clinton campaign expected that “the FBI will put more oil into the fire.”The revelations, including intercepted purported communications from Leonard Benardo, a top official at George Soros’s Open...

Tulsi Gabbard issued a new document today. It included a whistleblower statement, from a former “Deputy National Intelligence Officer at the National Intelligence Council.” I never even heard of this agency. The former official blew the whistle because his objections to the Russiagate report were suppressed. He wouldn’t sign off on the use of unverifiable evidence in the Russiagate assessment. He said the dossier material was inserted during a car ride with James Comey, James Clapper, and John Brennan. These people are unbelievable. After some debate, I declined to alter my own analysis based on this suggestion. To provide context...

"That should distract people from her own missing email, especially if the affair goes to the Olympic level."Newly declassified intelligence documents released Thursday revealed Hillary Clinton personally approved a campaign plan to “smear” then-candidate Donald Trump with false Russian collusion claims to distract from her email scandal during the 2016 presidential race.Special counsel John Durham uncovered the information during his multi-year investigation into intelligence activities during the 2016 election.The intelligence, released Monday by Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA), came from two memos obtained by the Obama administration containing “confidential conversations” between members of the DNC and George Soros’ Open Society Foundations...

CIA Director John Ratcliffe, FBI Director Kash Patel and AG Pam Bondi coordinated in the declassification of the annex Grassley made public The credible foreign sources indicating the FBI and the Obama administration would play a role in spreading the salacious Trump–Russia narrative — before the bureau ever launched its probe — were allegedly tied to George Soros' Open Society Foundation, according to an explosive document declassified Thursday morning. The appendix to former Special Counsel John Durham’s report released by the Senate Judiciary Committee sheds stunning light on what Chairman Chuck Grassley describes as "one of the biggest political scandals...

Senator Chuck Grassley on Thursday released the newly declassified annex from former special counsel John Durham’s report “The Durham annex contains previously classified information exposing a reported Clinton campaign plan to falsely tie President Donald Trump to Russia,” Grassley said. Recall that it was just reported that FBI Director Kash Patel recently found the annex to the Durham report in a “burn bag” at the FBI. According to the newly declassified documents, Hillary Clinton personally approved the Trump-Russia hoax just a few days before FBI counter-intelligence agent Peter Strzok opened Crossfire Hurricane on July 31, 2016 to distract from her...

From Durham's Classified Appendix- Authentic July 2016 emails discussing Hillary Clinton's plan to "demonize Putin and Trump." Predictions that "the FBI will put more oil into the fire." Hillary approved the "idea about Trump and Russian hackers hampering U.S. elections." Regarding proving-up the DNC/DCCC hack and leak - "In absence of direct evidence, Crowdstrike and ThreatConnect will supply the media" with info. Crowdstrike will feed the info to the FBI and then the info "would then be disseminated through leading US publications." To clarify - intelligence analysts assessed "the Benardo emails were likely authentic." Durham concluded they were "a composite...

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard just released a trove of apparently once-classified documents — with promises of much more to follow. The new material describes the role of the Obama administration’s intelligence and investigatory directors — purportedly along with former President Barack Obama himself — in undermining the 2016 Trump presidential campaign. In addition, their efforts extended to sabotaging the 2016-2017 presidential transition and, by extension, the first three years of the Trump presidency. The released documents add some new details to what over the last decade has become accepted knowledge. Congressional committees, special prosecutors, and the inspectors general...

WASHINGTON – Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) today is making public the formerly Classified Appendix (“Durham annex”) to John Durham’s 2023 Special Counsel report. The Unclassified Report and the Classified Appendix form the entirety of Durham’s Special Counsel Report. The Durham annex contains previously classified information exposing a reported Clinton campaign plan to falsely tie President Donald Trump to Russia. The annex also goes into further detail on matters discussed in the Unclassified Report, specifically: Potential election influence by a foreign government regarding Hillary Clinton; False statements to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISA court) regarding FISA renewal...

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...

The National Security Agency removed its top lawyer after The Daily Wire exposed her past work investigating President Donald Trump for Democrats and penning op-eds praising censorship and defending the intelligence community’s treatment of Trump associates like Carter Page. The intelligence agency’s webpage listing April Doss as general counsel was deleted and “multiple former officials” told The New York Times that Doss had been removed. The removal shows that, after Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said documents show a conspiracy of “manufactured intelligence” to sabotage the president, the Trump administration is taking steps to ensure that people involved in...

Susan Miller says US intelligence chief’s allegations were based on misrepresentations of discoveries made by her team about Russian actionsA former CIA officer who helped lead the intelligence assessments over alleged Russia interference in the 2016 presidential election has said Tulsi Gabbard, the director of national intelligence, is ignorant of the practices of espionage after she accused Barack Obama and his national security team of “treasonous conspiracy” against Donald Trump.Susan Miller, the agency’s head of counter-intelligence at the time of the election, told the Guardian that Gabbard’s allegations were based on false statements and basic misrepresentations of discoveries made by...

‘You need to TRUST ME on this,’ Clapper’s crony told the analyst, saying he ‘would need to demonstrate [his] ability to “outgrow”’ the refusal to sign off on assessments he did not concur with. A crony of then-Director of National Intelligence (DNI) James Clapper threatened to withhold a promotion from a senior intelligence official unless he concurred in the fake Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) on Russia’s meddling in the 2016 election, notes obtained exclusively by The Federalist show. The notes made public for the first time today recount a conversation the top analyst in the Office of the Director of...

A new trove of documents has been unearthed inside FBI headquarters. It sounds as though they may contain new information about the Russia collusion hoax: FBI Director Kash Patel found a trove of sensitive documents related to the origins of the Trump–Russia probe buried in multiple “burn bags” in a secret room inside the bureau, sources told Fox News Digital. *** Sources told Fox News Digital that multiple burn bags were found and filled with thousands of documents. Sources told Fox News Digital that one of the documents FBI officials found in a burn bag was the classified annex to...
