The CIA Report On Russiagate – The Word Is Treason

In the wake of John Ratcliffe's declassifications last week, yesterday's announcement of criminal investigations into John Brennan and James Comey was just the beginning.

NOTE: Late yesterday, the FBI announced criminal investigations into former CIA Director John Brennan and former FBI Director James Comey for their roles in Russiagate. Brennan in particular appears to have perjured himself before Congress. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg. The Deep State’s attempted coup is crashing down. — RDM

At the direction of CIA Director Ratcliffe, a CIA report on that Agency’s involvement in what has become known as Russiagate has been declassified. I commend Director Ratcliffe for this action, and I recommend every American take the time to read the report. It is a good first step toward fully appreciating the involvement of the Central Intelligence Agency in the effort to smear President Trump and prevent him from gaining the White House in 2016.

It is, however, only the first step.

The report delineates a whole series of actions taken by then-CIA Director Brennan to guarantee the production and dissemination of an Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) that effectively branded Donald Trump as colluding with Russian President Vladimir Putin. It makes crystal clear that throughout this process Brennan directed actions that were contrary to standard CIA procedure in order to ensure that an assessment would be produced which said what he wanted it to say and that he then made sure that assessment was broadcast far and wide in Washington guaranteeing that it would leak to the press as he intended.

And, then the report concludes with a series of “better luck next time” lessons learned to help guide CIA officers in the future. We are, apparently, to regard this as simply a breakdown in procedure and professionalism, and believe that some adjustments in methodology going forward will be a sufficient response.

Let’s be crystal clear. Brennan did not just disregard some procedural safeguards and push through a poorly sourced assessment. Brennan, in league with several others, including Clapper and Comey, undertook to intervene in an American Presidential election and guarantee the election of Hillary Clinton.

These men, all of whom had sworn an oath to defend the Constitution, effectively tore up that document and appointed themselves a modern Praetorian Guard, empowered to choose who sits on the throne.
