Criminal Investigation at Last: Corruption of Russia Hoax Prosecuted
Thick as thieves. They knew it was a lie. The whole time. Every one of them. But they still framed Trump.
I was greatly encouraged this past week to see news that former FBI Director, James Comey, and former CIA Director, John Brennan, are now facing a criminal investigation into their wrongdoing in the Russia Hoax. Former Director of National Intelligence, James Clapper, was also complicit in this lie and I believe his time is coming. These thoroughly corrupt unelected officials schemed to smear Trump with one of the dirtiest tricks in political history.
Current CIA Director, John Ratcliff, recently declassified and released an internal agency review of the machinations that helped fuel the Russia Hoax. In a statement posted on social media, Ratcliffe stated, “All the world can now see the truth: Brennan, Clapper and Comey manipulated intelligence and silenced career professionals—all to get Trump.” (Gregg Jarrett, Fox News, July 9, 2025).
Jarrett continues, “… the review concluded that Brennan, in particular, pushed for the phony Steele dossier to be included in the Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) to catalyze a false narrative against Trump. Senior CIA experts on Russia objected but were sidelined and silenced. The CIA’s deputy director for analysis warned Brennan in writing that including the discredited dossier in any capacity jeopardized ‘the credibility of the entire paper.’ Brennan didn’t care. The fiction penned by the ex-British spy (Christopher Steele) conformed to the director’s preconceived fable that Trump colluded with Russia.”
Comey then leaked classified information to falsely create the appearance of a need for a special counsel. This involved the infamous Steele dossier lie—the false and misleading information funded by Hillary Clinton with campaign donations and used to secure FISA warrants—resulting in the fraudulent and hugely distracting two-year, $32 million taxpayer-inquisition by Robert Mueller that ‘found no collusion between President Trump’s campaign and Russia’—a pathetic episode of lawfare that Trump accurately and continually refers to as the “Russia Hoax.”
Under Comey, the FBI ignored evidence that it was being used by the Clinton campaign. This included intelligence the government received in July 2016 alleging that Mrs. Clinton had approved “a proposal from one of her foreign policy advisors to vilify Donald Trump by stirring up a scandal claiming interference by the Russian security services … as “a means of distracting the public from her use of a private email server ahead of the 2016 presidential election.”
In that July 2016 briefing, Brennan informed former President Barack Obama (truly the ringleader) about the Clinton campaign plan to engineer the Russia Hoax. Comey, then-Vice President Joe Biden, former Attorney General Loretta Lynch, and Clapper were in the briefing.
Further, the House Intelligence Committee, in 2017, conducted depositions of top Obama intelligence officials, including Clapper, National Security Advisor, Susan Rice, and Attorney General Lynch, among others. These Obama-era intelligence officials acknowledged that they had no “empirical evidence” of a conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russia in the 2016 election but continued to publicly push the “narrative” of collusion. (Brooke Singman, Fox News, July 10, 2025).
Sadly, what our nation did not know until much later was the stunning fact, noted by Kimberly Strassel in the Wall Street Journal, that “the FBI rushed to meet with Mr. Steele in early October 2016. It had undertaken no due diligence on its source and had been unable to verify a single dossier claim (and never would). At that meeting, it nonetheless took the astonishing step of offering Mr. Steele “up to $1 million” in taxpayer dollars to verify his own information. Usually, Ms. Strassel notes, the FBI pays another party to verify a source report.” (WSJ, 10-14-2022.)
Steele never has and never could verify anything! And yet, the information in the dossier would continue to be used by the FBI to fabricate probable cause to obtain four secret FISA warrants used to tap Trump Tower and spy on a Trump campaign staffer. (Id.)
This is why the American people have lost faith in their national institutions.
There is an expression that “the wheels of justice turn slowly, but grind exceedingly fine.” I hope they grind to a just result here. When asked last week about the investigation of Comey and Brennan, President Trump expressed a similar view. “… I will tell you, I think they’re very dishonest people. I think they’re crooked as hell. And maybe they have to pay a price for that.” May it be so.
