Legal Analyst Says New Report Proves Trump Was ‘Framed’ In Russiagate Hoax
A stunning new report from the CIA just confirmed what many of us have known all along — that former CIA Director John Brennan and others deliberately tried to frame President Donald Trump during the Russia collusion hoax.
Fox News legal analyst Gregg Jarrett laid it out clearly in a new op-ed, backing up current CIA Director John Ratcliffe’s conclusion that the entire operation was politically motivated. Ratcliffe recently released a report showing how Brennan, former FBI Director James Comey, and other Obama-era political operatives worked behind the scenes to include the debunked Steele dossier in their 2016 intelligence report.
The Steele dossier, a pile of unverified claims cooked up by former British spy Christopher Steele, was bought and paid for by Hillary Clinton’s campaign through the opposition research firm Fusion GPS. It’s also been alleged that much of the phony intelligence was funneled through Bruce Ohr, a DOJ official whose wife just happened to work for Fusion GPS at the time.
Jarrett doesn’t mince words. “The dossier was garbage, of course. The FBI largely debunked it before Trump was even sworn in and fired its author, Christopher Steele, for lying as a confidential human source. But the bureau concealed those inconvenient facts under then-Director James Comey and deftly exploited the document as a cudgel to bludgeon the newly elected president.”
He says Brennan, Comey, and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper “plotted to smear Trump with what is surely the dirtiest trick in political history.”
According to the report, Brennan even pushed aside experienced CIA analysts who questioned the Trump-Russia connection and blocked other intelligence agencies from offering their input. Jarrett points to a written warning from the CIA’s deputy director for analysis that including the Steele dossier would damage “the credibility of the entire paper.” But Brennan didn’t care. As Jarrett puts it, “The fiction penned by the ex-British spy conformed to the director’s preconceived fable that Trump colluded with Russia.”
Ratcliffe summed it up plainly: “This was Obama, Comey, Clapper and Brennan deciding ‘We’re going to screw Trump.’”
And there’s more. In 2023, Special Counsel John Durham concluded there was no connection at all between Trump’s 2016 campaign and Russian operatives. Now, the FBI has opened a criminal investigation into Brennan himself, focusing on whether he lied to Congress in 2019 when he claimed the Steele dossier “was not in any way used as the basis for the intelligence community’s assessment.” Jarrett notes that Clapper made nearly the same claim in sworn testimony and could also be part of the investigation.
Since then, Brennan has gone on to become a national security pundit at MSNBC, Clapper joined CNN, and Comey has been making money off books and speeches.
Not one of them has faced prosecution.
Jarrett ended his op-ed with a warning and a call for accountability: “Unless those who unscrupulously weaponized their immense power for political purposes are held to account, it will happen again. And again. The only remedy for lawlessness is justice.”
Former CIA officer Bryan Dean Wright has called out Brennan for what he says was a deliberate effort to manipulate the 2016 Intelligence Community Assessment, the same document used to push the false Trump-Russia collusion narrative.
According to Wright, Brennan, then the CIA director, forced the inclusion of the discredited Steele dossier into the ICA. But it didn’t stop there. Wright says Brennan also played a central role in leaking the bogus document to the media just before the 2016 election.
He’s not mincing words. Wright says both Brennan and former FBI Director James Comey should be criminally prosecuted for what they did. Comey, of course, worked hand in hand with the CIA during the entire Russiagate circus.
