New details suggest that the CIA, under Obama's administration, targeted Trump and initiated the Russia investigation. Former CIA director John Brennan identified 26 Trump associates to be monitored by the 5 Eyes Intelligence Alliance, and the FBI then targeted these individuals as suspicious. This led to the launch of the Russia collusion investigation. The operation's details were kept in a top-secret binder, which Trump has ordered to be declassified. There are rumors that the binder may be missing.

There is ample evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, with significant findings in the public domain. The president and his associates may be compromised by foreign powers, and there are persistent allegations of Russian money laundering through the Trump organization. While there is direct evidence of deception, it's important to note that there is no hard evidence of collusion at this moment. Circumstantial evidence exists, and it can be powerful. The Trump campaign welcomed Russian assistance, incorporated it into their strategy, and failed to report it, while also being deceptive about their actions. There is more than just circumstantial evidence, but specifics cannot be disclosed.

We now know without a doubt that Obama, Brennan, Clapper, and Comey were attacking our democracy, all while accusing us of attacking democracy. We know these things because director of national intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has released hundreds of documents revealing that the mindful objections of senior intel officials were ignored. Foreign spies were given a US government endorsed platform to smear Trump with abject lies. They used these lies to illegally spy on the Trump campaign. Former CIA director John Brennan lied to congress about his role. The cover up effort was real. Now that director Gabbard has revealed the truth, where will it all lead?

The recently released report by John Durham, after a 4-year investigation, reveals that the FBI hastily pursued allegations of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, disregarding evidence that would have led them to drop the case. Durham suggests that confirmation bias played a significant role in the FBI's acceptance of uncorroborated information. He criticizes former FBI leaders James Comey and Andy McCabe for discounting information that didn't support the narrative of collusion. However, the report does not bring any additional charges against Comey or others as Trump had expected. It is important to note that President Biden allowed this investigation to continue along with another one involving Hunter Biden. Durham concludes that while no criminal allegations are made, the actions of the FBI and Justice Department fell short of professional standards.

There are too many connections between Trump and Russia to be coincidences, including financial entanglements and attempts to hide meetings. Regardless of the Trump investigation, Russia interfered in the election to help Trump, hurt the speaker, and destabilize democracy, and they haven't stopped. The Russians stole campaign manager John Podesta's emails, conveyed them to WikiLeaks, and released them the same day as the "Hollywood Access" tape. The emails were weaponized and targeted at specific voters. Investigators are looking into where the Russians got the targeting information. The Russian government, directed by Putin, engaged in espionage against Americans to influence the election, as confirmed by 17 intelligence agencies. The most important question is whether Trump will admit and condemn Russian interference and reject their espionage, which he has encouraged in the past. Trump's admiration for Putin, a "wannabe dictator," is exemplified by his suggestion to leave NATO, giving a green light to a "murderous, brutal dictator."

Michael Flynn pleaded guilty but later attempted to withdraw his plea and fluctuated between cooperating and not cooperating with the Mueller investigation. CNN reports that the president is considering a pardon for him. This would signal that if someone lies or covers up for Trump, they will be rewarded, but only if it serves his interests. This situation reflects poorly on American democracy and raises concerns about how the world perceives a president acting like an organized crime figure. This behavior is consistent with Trump's character from the beginning of his presidency to its end.

The investigation reveals that the CIA framed Trump by manipulating foreign spies to target his campaign associates. Classified documents suggest Russia actually preferred Hillary in 2016, but the CIA, led by John Brennan, fabricated evidence to suggest Russian interference in favor of Trump. Brennan's manipulation of intelligence led to the false conclusion that Russia supported Trump. The CIA is withholding a 50-page report confirming Russia's preference for Hillary. Accountability for Brennan's actions lies with Congress, who must demand the release of these documents.

This week, we saw cold hard evidence of the Trump campaign, indeed, the Trump family eagerly intending to collude possibly with Russia, a hostile foreign power to influence American elections. In the month, again, as we celebrate the courage of our founders, Republicans in congress have become enablers of the Trump Russia assault on our democracy. After these latest revelations, it's becoming clear we have suffered a desecration of our democracy not seen since Watergate. Speaker Ryan must allow a vote on an outside independent kit mission to get to the bottom of the Trump campaign's role in Russia's assault on our democracy and prevent Putin from ever doing it again immediately outside independent commission. It's not just about what happened in the past. It's to prevent it from happening again.

In the video, Speaker 0 asks Speaker 1 if any evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia has been found. Speaker 1 mentions that information can be found in the report prepared by director Mueller, but they are not aware of any collusion or conspiracy. Speaker 0 then interrupts and states that when the FBI opened Crossfire Hurricane, they did not have any information suggesting that anyone in the Trump campaign had been in contact with Russian intelligence officials.

The FBI investigated Donald Trump due to concerns about his ties to Russia, based on observable facts indicating a potential threat to national security and the possibility of a crime. The decision to investigate was made because the FBI is obligated to open a case when there's an articulable basis to believe a threat exists, regardless of the subject's position. Contributing factors included Trump publicly undermining the investigation, referring to it as a hoax, and the intelligence community's assessment of Russian support for his campaign. By May 2017, there were ample facts suggesting potential obstruction of justice. The speaker couldn't explain Trump's repeated leaning towards the Russians and defense of Vladimir Putin, but noted that his actions and words were concerning. The investigation grappled with a president who may have committed a federal crime and posed a national security risk. The national security risk related to the counterintelligence case, specifically Trump's potential obstruction of justice to negatively impact the investigation into Russian interference and potential connections with his campaign.

Donald Trump's campaign chairman was secretly meeting with Russian intelligence, and Russia interfered with the election to attack democracy. One speaker believes Trump is guilty because he knows something about Russia and questions why Trump believed Putin more than U.S. intelligence. Another speaker suggests Trump views the government's role as advancing his political fortunes and destroying enemies, envisioning a second term resembling Vladimir Putin's Russia or Viktor Orban's Hungary. Russia intervened heavily in the 2016 election to elect Trump through a social media campaign and hacking. This is compared to Watergate, with a virtual break-in and a presidential cover-up. There are concerns that Putin and the Kremlin could attempt to intervene in the 2024 election, especially with the war in Ukraine and NATO enlargement. Russia has more at stake and less reason to avoid risk, viewing Trump as a lifeline due to U.S. support for Ukraine. It is expected that Russia will engage, and the question is how much.

Two years ago, the acting attorney general asked me to serve as special counsel, creating the special counsel's office to investigate Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, including any links or coordination between the Russian government and individuals associated with the Trump campaign. I have not spoken publicly during the investigation, but I am speaking out now because our investigation is complete, the attorney general has made the report largely public, the office is formally closed, and I am resigning from the Department of Justice to return to private life. Beyond a few remarks, the office’s written work should speak for itself. We begin with interference in the 2016 presidential election. The grand jury, in an indictment, alleged that Russian intelligence officers, part of the Russian military, launched a concerted attack on our political system, using sophisticated cyber techniques to hack into computers and networks used by the Clinton campaign. They stole private information and released it through fake online identities and through WikiLeaks, and the releases were designed and timed to interfere with the election and damage a presidential candidate. In a separate indictment, a private Russian entity engaged in a social media operation where Russian citizens posed as Americans to influence an election. These indictments contain allegations, and we are not commenting on the guilt or innocence of any specific defendant. Every defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty. The indictments and other activities in our report describe efforts to interfere in our political system, and they needed to be investigated and understood, which is among the reasons the Department of Justice established our office. It was also a reason we investigated efforts to obstruct the investigation. The matters we investigated were of paramount importance; it was critical to obtain full and accurate information from every person we questioned. When a subject obstructs an investigation or lies to investigators, it strikes at the core of the government’s effort to find the truth and hold wrongdoers accountable. Let me say a word about the report. Speaker 1 asks: The name of that firm was Fusion GPS. Is that correct? On page 103, volume two, when referring to the firm that produced the Steele reporting, the name is Fusion GPS. Speaker 0: I’m not familiar with that. Speaker 1 clarifies: It was Fusion GPS. It produced the opposition research.

People are trying to say that the FBI is corrupt and that the Steele dossier is discredited, and that the investigation into Russian interference is based on nonsense. However, the Steele dossier was taken seriously because it corroborated reports the bureau had received from other sources, including one inside the Trump camp. There is a big move to undermine the Mueller investigation by calling it names. The American people were attacked, and that can't happen again. It is unpatriotic to try to stop an investigation from going forward so we can make sure it doesn't happen again.

Mueller indicted Russians for direct election interference and boosting Trump in 2016. Some Americans are also engaged in this kind of propaganda. Whether they should be civilly or criminally charged could be a better deterrence.

Michael Flynn, a former DIA head and Trump national security advisor, was an intelligence community surveillance target, as was staffer George Papadopoulos. The House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence released a report clearing Trump of colluding with Russia to interfere in the 2016 election. Sources close to the committee, led by Adam Schiff, continued working covertly in Langley. They had access to raw logs and communications from agencies like the CIA and the National Security Council.

Michael Flynn pleaded guilty for lying to the FBI. He understood the intel world and its funding, making him a threat. A political appointee felt pressured to change their assessment but refused. President Obama warned Trump to stay away from Flynn.

- Speaker 0 states they believe certain people are dishonest and crooked and that they may have to pay a price; they insist they are truly bad and dishonest people, and imply consequences may follow. - Speaker 1 discusses a criminal investigation into James Comey and John Brennan related to the so-called Russian collusion hoax, asserting they tried to ruin Trump’s life and that he prevailed. - Speaker 1 notes that for years, ranking members of Congress, the intelligence community, and the FBI claimed Donald Trump was colluding with Russia to win the 2016 election, and that this was continued through his first presidency. - Speaker 2 references emails suggesting Donald Trump Jr. was willing to collude with Russia, questioning how to know what happens when Trump and Putin meet, and suggests Trump’s repeated denials of collusion may have been truthful. - Speaker 3 asks if there has been any evidence of collusion, coordination, or conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russia, and Speaker 2 disagrees, saying there is plenty of evidence of collusion or conspiracy in plain sight. - Speaker 1 cites a recently declassified CIA “lessons learned” document from John Ratcliffe noting that the investigation was messed up, aimed at preventing Trump from winning and then hampering his agenda, and mentions multiple procedural anomalies in the preparation of the ICA (intelligence community assessment). - They walk through the timeline: Christopher Steele, a former MI-6 officer with Russian intel expertise, was hired by Fusion GPS, which was paid by Perkins Coie for Hillary Clinton’s campaign (notably Mark Elias) to produce opposition research on Trump; this unvetted dossier was used to bolster the case and was shopped to media to create a narrative of Trump-Russia ties, then used as a legal hook to push a narrative. - Speaker 1 argues Hillary Clinton leveraged influence to funnel the unverified dossier into the FBI and into a FISA warrant for Carter Page, noting it was not disclosed that the dossier was funded by Hillary Clinton, which they view as a major omission. - Ratcliffe’s document is cited as saying including the Steele dossier in the ICA undermined credibility and ran counter to tradecraft principles. - A second parallel element involved Natalia Veselnitskaya, a Russian lawyer paid by Fusion GPS and Clinton campaign, who met Don Jr. at Trump Tower; Don Jr. texted during the meeting that he was unsure what was happening, and the meeting was publicly used to support the Steele dossier claims about Trump’s ties to Russia. - The Speaker covers Hillary Clinton’s classified server issue, including the use of BleachBit and hammers, and notes DNC servers were hacked by Russia; they frame these events as being used to shift focus to Trump collusion. - They describe Crossfire Hurricane as the investigation into Trump, calling it an “insurance policy” to deflect attention from Clinton’s classified server issues and to portray Trump as guilty, describing the investigations into Trump associates (Papadopoulos, Carter Page, Manafort, Flynn) as efforts to keep the narrative alive even after Trump’s election victory. - Speaker 1 asserts Mueller’s appointment was scope-limited but later expanded, allowing broad access and substantial taxpayer cost; Brennan and Comey are accused of feeding initial information for a political purpose, with high-level agency involvement and misrepresentation in Congress. - They claim there was never any actual evidence of Russian collusion charged against the Trump campaign. - They mention Charles McGonigal, a former FBI counterintelligence official, as someone charged in connection with Russia, implying the broader narrative was invalid and asserting that those involved lied. - The speakers conclude that the entire setup was a scam and express a desire for accountability.

Michael Flynn, a former Defense Intelligence Agency head and Trump national security advisor, was an intelligence community surveillance target, as was staffer George Papadopoulos. The House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence released a report clearing Trump of colluding with Russia to interfere in the 2016 election. Sources close to the House Permanent Select Committee, led by Adam Schiff, continued working covertly out of a small room in Langley. They had access to raw logs and communications from agencies like the CIA and the National Security Council.

There is ample, clear, significant, abundant, and direct evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russians. The president seems pathologically incapable of telling the truth and may be compromised by a foreign power. The Russians have been laundering money through the Trump organization, and Trump continues to believe Russian propaganda, making him dangerous. Trump and his campaign colluded with the Russians. There is circumstantial evidence of collusion or coordination, and direct evidence of deception. The Trump campaign welcomed Russian help, built it into their campaign plan, never reported it, made full use of it, and then lied about it. There is evidence that is not circumstantial. The case is more than circumstantial.

The special counsel found no evidence that any US person or Trump campaign official conspired or knowingly coordinated with Russia's interference efforts. While criminal charges were brought against Russian nationals, the key point is that collusion was not found. This supports what the president has maintained. The White House, the president, and his attorneys should be pleased with this report. After two years of asserting there was no Russia collusion, the president is now backed up by Mueller. The evidence does not establish that the president was involved in an underlying crime related to Russian election interference. This conclusion is supported by the special counsel's extensive investigation, which included over 2,800 subpoenas, nearly 500 search warrants, and interviews with approximately 500 witnesses.

The speaker presents evidence of the Trump campaign and family's willingness to collude with Russia to influence American elections. They criticize Republicans in Congress for enabling this assault on democracy. The speaker calls for Speaker Ryan to allow a vote on an independent commission to investigate the Trump campaign's involvement and prevent future interference. The focus is not only on past events but also on preventing similar incidents in the future.

There are multiple investigations into President Trump, including his tax returns, inaugural committee, Trump organization, and Russian influence in the campaign. The House Intelligence Committee, led by Chairman Adam Schiff, plays a central role in these investigations. Schiff states that the Russians offered, the campaign accepted, and the president utilized their help, which is concerning. He also highlights the numerous false statements made by the president regarding Russia. While Bob Mueller did not find criminal conspiracy, he did not address collusion. Schiff expresses alarm over the recent attack on the Capitol and requests a damage assessment and briefing from the intelligence community.

There is no evidence of collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign in 2016, according to Mister Durham. The FBI's investigation had failures and did not reveal any conspiracy or collusion between Trump and Russian authorities. Vice President Biden and President Obama were aware of this, while Hillary Clinton fabricated it. The FBI orchestrated the investigation, and the media sold it to the public. The question remains: who watches the watchmen? The FBI is seen as protecting the nation's capital but not the American people. Republicans on the judiciary committee must hold the FBI accountable.

Some say this is a witch hunt, but they've caught a few witches. There have been a few indictments. One lawyer called the investigation absurd. But is it? We broke the story about the existence of the dossier and that President Trump had been briefed, but we didn't mention its contents. The FBI director was talking about prostitutes. Almost exactly two years ago, we reported that President Trump had been briefed on the intelligence community's assessment of Russian interference in the 2016 election, including the existence of the dossier. Despite the president's denial, the special counsel's team has already proven some of the claims in that dossier are true. Have Democrats found any evidence of collusion? Yes, we have. I just want the truth and facts to be respected again in this country.

Revelations involving Michael Cohen raise serious questions about the president's legal exposure. The speaker says the president is nervous as time runs out to 'hold himself above the law.' The claim that 'the Trump campaign colluded with the Russians in trying to subvert the election' is highlighted, with Manafort and Trump Jr. meeting Russian agents who offered dirt on Hillary as part of the Russian government's attempt to help them, and 'it's clear that the campaign colluded.' Two developments are noted: 'the president's personal attorney lied to congress, but about the fact that he was personally involved on behalf of the president in arranging business deals with the Russians during the campaign.' And 'the president's campaign manager was involved with communicating with WikiLeaks during the 2016, at the time, you know, well before they served as a conduit to release the the emails that that the Russians'
