Free Republic

There has been a lot for freedom-loving Americans to enjoy since January 20, 2025. Having a real president who is focused, ambitious, and loves his country is an almost never-ending delight. The enjoyment is intensified by the fact that virtually all of it triggers the perpetually dour "America Last" leftists. That's on them — we wouldn't mind them having a good time amid all of the patriotic bounty. They choose to live in an alternative reality solely to perpetuate their victimhood addiction. One of the biggest freakouts — especially from the Regime Left — on the other side is over...

Former House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes appeared for an interview with Grant Stinchfield and walks through the timeline of the Russiagate hoax. Within the interview, Devin Nunes makes a solid argument that the FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago was due to their belief President Trump had the only copy of the HPSCI report, outside IC control; the outcome of a two-year investigation into how John Brennan and the CIA manipulated the 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA). It is important to remember that even though Representative Nunes knew the HPSCI investigators were looking at the construct of the...

Curiously, Brennan left no way for future investigators to confirm or deny its existence.In June 2017, well on their way to a Pulitzer for national reporting, the stenographers at the Washington Post published a lengthy, breathless article about an extraordinary message delivered to the White House in early August 2016. According to the Post, CIA Director John Brennan had sent an “intelligence bombshell” directly to President Barack Obama, an “eyes only” report. So sensitive was the report that Brennan kept it out of the President’s Daily Brief and insisted it “be returned immediately after it was read.” The report was...

VIDEOThe announcement by Attorney General Pam Bondi that she is launching a Russiagate Grand Jury probe has lit a fire of reaction from regular people and independent journalists as you can see. Meanwhile the MSM has mostly avoided any mention of Russiagate the past few weeks. However, such avoidance of a MAJOR news topic will become much harder with the news of the grand jury investigation. It will be very difficult for the MSM to report on this because to do so by sticking to the FACTS would indict their news coverage when RUSSIA! RUSSIA! RUSSIA! completely dominated their reports....

Joe Biden’s presidential campaign prompted former acting CIA director Mike Morell to “help Biden” by organizing 50 colleagues to sign a letter in October 2020 falsely claiming that damning emails from Hunter Biden’s laptop published by The Post were Russian disinformation. In private sworn testimony, Morell told the House Judiciary Committee that Antony Blinken, now Secretary of State, was the senior campaign official who reached out to him “on or before” Oct. 17, 2020, three days after The Post published an email from the laptop suggesting Hunter had introduced his Ukrainian business partner to his father, then vice-president Biden. Morell,...

President Obama on Thursday nominated a former CIA officer and longtime lawyer who examined missteps in U.S. intelligence to be the spy agency’s next inspector general, hoping to fill a position at the watchdog office that’s been vacant for more than a year. If confirmed by the Senate, Shirley Woodward would fill the role left empty since David Buckley stepped down from in January 2015, on the heels of a landmark determination that CIA officials had gained unauthorized access to Senate computer files. Lawmakers called the episode a potential violation of constitutional separation of powers, and the spat led to...

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...

John Brennan and James Clapper teemed up yesterday to write an opinion piece for the NY Times defending their work on an Intelligence Community Assessment about the 2016 election. It's titled "Brennan and Clapper: Let’s Set the Record Straight on Russia and 2016."The Brennan-Clapper opinion piece (BCOP) can really be broken down into three parts. First is a summary of the previous reviews of their work, all of which concluded it was fine.While some external critiques have noted that parts of the Russia investigation could have been handled better, multiple, thorough, yearslong reviews of the assessment have validated its findings...

The Steele Dossier saga isn’t over—not even close. If anything, its rot is more obvious than ever, with each new revelation pointing directly to the highest levels of the Obama administration and even reaching into the early days of the Trump White House. What we now know is already damning: the phony Steele Dossier wasn’t just opposition research—it was weaponized disinformation, deliberately shoved into the 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment under orders from Barack Obama himself. Senior analysts warned it was unverified and unreliable, but those concerns were bulldozed in the name of politics. Obama ordered the revised ICA not because...

The retired CIA spy who says she led the team that helped draft the controversial 2016 U.S. intelligence community assessment on Russian election meddling has called Donald Trump a “dictator” and MAGA supporters “Nazis” — and insists that the now-discredited Steele dossier “might be true.” Susan Miller, a recently-retired CIA counterintelligence officer, has taken to social media and news media interviews in recent days to tell the story of how she was allegedly hand-picked by former CIA Director John Brennan to lead the team which helped draft the ICA in late 2016, gleefully exposing her anti-Trump sentiments. She has repeatedly...

CIA Director John Ratcliffe teased on Sunday that the John Durham report "classified annex" will soon come out and show never-before-seen intelligence. Durham investigated the origins of the Russia probe that explored potential collusion between the 2016 Trump campaign and the Russian government. "Part of what came out last week was about how John Brennan, Clapper, Comey, they all pushed the known fake Steele dossier into intelligence community assessments and as the basis for Crossfire Hurricane and all that. But what hasn't come out yet, and what's going to come out, is the underlying intelligence that I have spent the...

The Russia-Russia-Russia co-conspirators are on television and in print telling us that ODNI Gabbard’s document releases are “out of context” and that we poor plebes just can’t understand the big picture. Oh. Okay. Keep talking, fellas. ... Interviews with more than half a dozen people who worked in Obama’s White House or on his campaigns reveal] they’re grappling with how to contain the unprecedented accusations National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard has leveled, ... The battle now is to play this even to make sure that thoughts don’t start to creep into more mainstream” audiences, a former Obama administration official said....

The Steele Dossier continues to be gashed, as new documents reveal it was weaponized for a sinister plot reportedly hatched by Barack Obama. We knew the dossier was unverifiable when it was published in its entirety by Buzzfeed eons ago. It was later revealed to be a Clinton campaign-funded opposition research project. We know it was included in the 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment, the report ordered by Obama, where it was forcibly included despite stringent objections from senior analysts, because it was of questionable value. Barack ordered the new ICA because the initial assessment was that Moscow’s reported election interference...

It is not surprising that leading neocon/warmonger and former National Security Advisor John Bolton would rally around his Deep State allies and trash Trump as DNI Tulsi Gabbard turns the screws on those who manufactured the Russia Hoax. .... Snip.... Real Clear Investigations reporter Paul Sperry revealed last night that Bolton had a classified memo in his possession that showed how former CIA Director John Brennan helped manufacture intelligence linking Trump to Vladimir Putin. Still, he never briefed Trump on the matter. Guess what he did instead? He stuck it in a National Security Council safe because he supposedly believed...

Paul Sperry @paulsperry_ BREAKING: Senate Intel ranking Dem Mark Warner turned away an intel analyst who worked on the ICA & approached his office "numerous times" to blow whistle on CIA Dir Brennan juicing bad intel on Russia and Trump, but Warner refused to even give him email address to send evidence. 7:25 PM · Jul 26, 2025

The revelations from Director of National Intelligence (DNI), Tulsi Gabbard, about the Russia Collusion hoax have the Obama team in damage control mode. I wrote about the reaction of former Obama DNI James Clapper. He acknowledged to CNN that he'd been "lawyered up" for awhile and that he found it very "disconcerting," although he called the allegations "ridiculous." Of course, it's also probably not wise to be talking on CNN either. But the Obama team is in full gear, trying to do all they can to spin. Clapper wasn't the only one looking nervous. Check the body language of former...

The Steele Dossier wasn’t just dirty politics — it was state-sponsored election interference. For eight years, Americans were told that Donald Trump was a Kremlin asset. That Russia rigged the 2016 election in his favor. That collusion wasn’t just a conspiracy — it was fact. It was all a lie. Thanks to newly declassified documents released by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, we now know who really colluded with Russian disinformation: Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. They funded it. They laundered it through the FBI and CIA. They embedded it into official intelligence reports. And they used it to...

President Trump should have purged every single Obama appointee down to the city dog catcher. It is nothing short of astonishing that not one FBI agent came forward and spoke out against this treasonous plot. These agencies are irretrievably broken. …this entire operation was a deliberate and direct attack on the foundation of American governance. As for Barack Hussein Obama, he should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law and hounded like our great President has been hounded for the past four years. Obama, Biden Oval Office Meeting On January 5 Was Key To Entire Anti-Trump Operation...

Law professor Jonathan Turley does not mince words as to which former Obama official is most at-risk of being charged for their role in the Russian collusion hoax. The George Washington University Law School faculty member described ex-CIA Director John Brennan as being the “30-point buck out in the open” regarding potential charges stemming from the trove of disclosures about who orchestrated this operation. The head honcho, Barack Obama, has already been named in a criminal referral to the Department of Justice. The former president ordered a new intelligence report on Russian collusion after the IC’s initial assessment didn’t support...

Obama’s scandal-plagued CIA Director John Brennan has lashed out at Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, accusing her of “intentionally lying” after she publicly exposed him for publishing fraudulent intelligence reports. The report—declassified by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard—alleges that Brennan, together with Obama-era officials like James Clapper and James Comey, directed the creation of a misleading Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) claiming “Putin aspired to help President‑elect Trump’s election chances” ..... Snip...... The irony is rich. Here is John Brennan—architect of the Russia Collusion Hoax, signer of the infamous Hunter Biden laptop disinformation letter, and key player in weaponizing...
