Turley: Key players behind the Russian collusion hoax—and why they’re sweating now

By Jonathan Turley | Commentary, Fox News Former CIA Director Brennan and other top officials reportedly 'lawyering up' as declassified documents contradict previous testimony The release of declassified material has shed new light on the creation of the Russian collusion investigation and many of the names are crushingly familiar. Indeed, Congress is moving to "round up the usual suspects" in light of the new revelations. It is the story of the real Russian conspiracy: how high-ranking officials in the Obama Administration seeded this false claim with the help of an eager, unquestioning press corps. Not surprisingly, the media, which spent years repeating the false Russian collusion claims, is doing a full-court press to kill the story. Yet, many of these key figures are retainin...

Brennan’s intelligence ‘lies’ exposed in newly declassified Russiagate report

By Hans Mahncke | The Federalist Brennan’s purported intelligence was so flimsy and comically absurd that it only further exposes the fraudulent nature of the assessment. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has declassified a long-buried House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) report exposing the fraud at the heart of the Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) released in January 2017. That ICA — produced by the CIA, FBI, and NSA at the behest of President Obama — claimed that Vladimir Putin helped Donald Trump win the presidency. It became a weaponized talking point, casting a shadow over Trump’s legitimacy before he even took office. The HPSCI launched its investigation into the ICA on January 25, 2017, just days after Trump was sworn in. Then-Ch...

CIA and Obama Briefed on Russian Claim Clinton Was Drugged During Campaign

By Brooke Singman | Fox News Russia allegedly had intelligence suggesting that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was taking "heavy tranquilizers," which former President Barack Obama and Democratic Party leaders found to be "extraordinarily alarming," a newly declassified intelligence report claims. Fox News Digital first reported that the U.S. intelligence community did not have any direct information that Russian President Vladimir Putin wanted to help elect Donald Trump during the 2016 election, but, at the "unusual" direction of then-President Obama, reportedly published "potentially biased" or "implausible" intelligence suggesting otherwise. The information came from a report declassified by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard. The report was prepared by t...

Comey, Brennan under FBI criminal investigation for Trump-Russia origins

By Victor Nava | New York Post Former CIA Director John Brennan and ex-FBI Director James Comey are being investigated for potential criminal conduct related to the 2016 Trump-Russia collusion probe.  The criminal referral involving Brennan was passed to the FBI by current CIA Director John Ratcliffe, Justice Department sources told Fox News Digital.  The investigation into the Obama-era spy chief involves allegations that he made false statements to Congress and is currently underway.  It’s unclear if the FBI’s probe into Brennan, one of 51 intelligence officials who falsely suggested Hunter Biden’s laptop could be Russian disinformation, encompasses more than his alleged false testimony to lawmakers.  Meanwhile, the specific nature of the...

Wright: My old CIA boss John Brennan used intelligence to sabotage a president, imprison him

By Bryan Dean Wright | Commentary, Fox News Five key details emerge about how intelligence was allegedly manipulated to undermine Trump's presidency Former CIA Director John Brennan was once my boss. Given what we just learned in a shocking new report about his role in the Trump Russia hysteria, he should be in prison. Here’s why. The CIA released fresh details yesterday about the creation nearly 10 years ago of the agency’s Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) of Russia's influence campaign in the 2016 U.S. presidential election. It found that Russian President Vladimir Putin "aspired" to help then-candidate Donald Trump win the election. That assessment – ordered by then-President Barack Obama and executed by Brennan – ignited the Trump-Russia hoax...

Intel chair demands release of secret report on 2016 Russia hoax

By Jerry Dunleavy | Just the News The GOP House Intelligence Committee Chairman is critiquing the Trump CIA director's review of the Intelligence Community's assessment on Russian meddling in the 2016 election. And the CIA is pushing back. The Republican chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) has sent a letter directly to President Donald Trump telling him that CIA Director John Ratcliffe’s recent memo – which offered some critiques of the U.S. intelligence community’s assessment of Russian meddling in the 2016 election – was a “whitewash” that “protects the deep state,” Just the News learned Thursday. Ratcliffe on Wednesday morning released a “lessons learned” review of the December 2016 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA)...

Intel Erased: FBI Told Agencies to Destroy China Election Plot Evidence

By John Solomon | Just the News Memo turned over by FBI Director Kash Patel to Sen. Chuck Grassley details plot to use fake driver’s licenses to swing 2020 election to Democrat's favor. Aconfidential human source told FBI counter-intelligence in summer 2020 that China’s communist government was shipping fake driver’s licenses to the United States to manufacture “tens of thousands of fraudulent mail-in votes” for Joe Biden, according to a raw intelligence report distributed to federal agencies that was reviewed by Just the News. The report – one of two sent Monday by FBI Director Kash Patel to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley – was sent to U.S. intelligence agencies on Aug. 24, 2020, as an uncorroborated advisory, then suddenly recalled with little explanation oth...

Colorado law limits what voters can verify—and critics say that needs to change

By Jen Schumann | Contributing Writer, Rocky Mountain Voice Mesa County’s Ballot Verifier tool has been praised for giving residents unprecedented access to redacted ballot images and cast vote records. But for some longtime election integrity advocates, it’s only part of the solution. “This is a great step forward,” said Ed Arnos, a Mesa County resident and former lottery systems designer. “But it doesn’t verify the most important part—how the ballots were actually read.” This article is Part 3 of a three-part series on the Ballot Verifier: Mesa’s launch, Ada County’s pilot and the debate over election transparency laws. A philosophical divide Mesa County residents Tom Keenan and Ed Arnos have supported election transparency efforts for years. But both say the current syste...

Frederick & Cochrane: Is FBI still colluding with big tech to interfere in our elections?

By Kara Frederick  and Daniel Cochrane | Commentary, Daily Signal Four years ago this month, the FBI worked with Facebook and Twitter to suppress a New York Post story detailing the contents of Hunter Biden’s laptop, just weeks before the 2020 U.S. presidential election. Today, on the eve of another contentious election, America could see a repeat of what federal District Court Judge Terry Doughty called the “most massive attack against free speech in United States’ history.” The FBI knew Hunter Biden’s laptop was authentic in November 2019. Yet, it repeatedly warned social media platforms of an impending “hack and leak operation” ahead of the 2020 election. READ THE FULL COMMENTARY AT THE DAILY SIGNAL Editor’...
