Just 14 days before Donald Trump took the oath of office, the United States intelligence community released its official assessment on Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. The document concluded that Russian President Vladimir Putin had ordered an intelligence and influence campaign to help Donald Trump win and to damage Hillary Clinton. The assessment carried the full weight of the CIA, the FBI, and the NSA, and the CIA presented it to the American public as a definitive judgment by the nation’s intelligence professionals. The assessment was described as unusually political and top-directed rather than ordinary. Outgoing President Barack Obama had personally ordered its creation on December 9, 2016, after Trump’s victory was already secured. The product was said to have been produced by a small team of analysts under tight deadlines and unusual political pressure, framed as a high-profile assessment directed from the top. The transcript claims that what the public did not know—and what was deliberately kept from view—was that Obama had been briefed five months earlier in August 2016 on intelligence that the Hillary Clinton campaign itself was behind an effort to tie Donald Trump to Russia. The transcript states that CIA Director John Brennan entered the White House and informed President Obama that foreign intelligence services, including the Russians, the Dutch, and others, were aware because they intercepted “a plan approved at the highest levels of the Clinton campaign” to manufacture a scandal linking Donald Trump to Vladimir Putin. It says this was a political dirty trick designed to distract from Clinton’s own vulnerabilities. According to the transcript, instead of investigating that intelligence, the Obama administration used presidential authority and the credibility of the intelligence community to “launder” information supporting that narrative into official government doctrine. The Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) is described as becoming the foundation for the claim that Trump’s election was illegitimate and tainted by a foreign power. The transcript links that ICA to the justification for appointing a special counsel and to a congressional investigation, characterizing the resulting firestorm as consuming the first years of the Trump presidency. The transcript further asserts that this was not about protecting America or American democracy, but about using the most trusted institutions in the US government to delegitimize an election that the political establishment refused to accept. It claims that the authority of the president and the reputation of the intelligence community were “weaponized” to sell a deception and undermine a duly elected president before he entered the White House. The transcript ends by stating that, in a series, the speaker will examine the ICA in detail: the documents, briefings, suppressed dissents, and a timeline showing how the operation was constructed, describing this as essential to understanding how intelligence was turned into a political weapon and why it must never happen again.

FBI Director Comey recommended that Hillary Clinton not be charged for potential violations of handling classified information, stating that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case. However, it was revealed that Comey's draft speech, in which he used the same words, was written two months before the FBI interviews with Clinton and others. This draft became public in late 2017, leading to criticism and accusations that the investigation was a fraud. Comey's decision to change the term "grossly negligent" to "extremely careless" in his speech raised questions about his motives. The FBI officials who edited the draft and the deletion of the term "grossly negligent" remain unknown. The issue of intent was also a point of contention, with Comey focusing on whether there was sufficient evidence of intent to violate laws governing the handling of classified information. However, the applicable statute does not require proof of intent. Critics argue that there were multiple crimes committed by Clinton and others involved in the case, including the destruction of evidence and mishandling of witnesses.

There are some very suspect things about how the Hillary Clinton email investigation was handled. The fact that Loretta Lynch, who was the attorney general at the time, met with Bill Clinton on the tarmac right before Hillary had to speak with the FBI is definitely one of them. Also, Loretta Lynch told Jim Comey to publicly call this a matter, instead of a criminal investigation. These actions downplayed what Hillary Clinton had done while all the drama was being created around Donald Trump and the Russia collusion, which never materialized. What the American people are going to find out about the FBI is astonishing, especially the level of bias.

During closed-door testimony, former FBI lawyer Lisa Page stated that the Obama administration's Justice Department advised the FBI against pursuing the gross negligence statute regarding Hillary Clinton's handling of classified information. Republican John Radcliffe questioned Page about statute 18 USC 793, with Page confirming the DOJ's stance. This testimony seemingly contradicts James Comey's 2016 recommendation against criminal charges for Clinton, where he assured the public of an honest, competent, and independent investigation, free from outside influence. According to the House committee's ranking Republican, the transcripts reveal a two-tiered system, suggesting preferential treatment for Hillary Clinton. A chart from the Clinton case, "mid-year exam," indicated the DOJ was "not willing to charge" gross negligence, noting its application primarily in military cases involving lost information. President Trump tweeted that the transcripts portray the Obama Justice Department as "a broken and corrupt machine." Page's testimony also confirmed that Russian collusion was unproven when Robert Mueller was appointed.

Hillary Clinton's emails on her unsecured personal server contained intelligence from the United States government's most secretive and highly classified operations called special access programs or SAPS. These are described as the crown jewels of the American intelligence community and the United States government. The intelligence community's inspector general, Charles McCullough III, notified congressional oversight committees on January 14 that a comprehensive review by the intelligence agencies found "several dozen emails containing classified information at the confidential secret and top secret / SAP levels," bringing new scrutiny to Clinton's handling of government secrets. If this information is compromised, there would be "very serious national security damage," with no mistake that it was not something you accidentally stumble across and not realize what it is. Access to these programs is highly restricted and on a need-to-know basis only. The State Department spokesman had not seen the letter but added that there are reviews and investigations going on about past email practices and he was not at liberty to discuss the content. The new findings are striking given Clinton's first public statement about her personal server: "There is no classified material. So I'm certainly well aware of the classification requirements." Court documents indicate former CIA director David Petraeus was prosecuted for sharing special access program intelligence with his biographer Paula Broadwell, and both Petraeus and then secretary of state Clinton were required to sign nondisclosure agreements promising to protect SAPs, with the understanding that a failure to do so has significant legal consequences. This is described as a real test for the administration to apply the law in a fair and equal way and treat Hillary Clinton the same way that David Petraeus was treated. A new email first obtained by The Daily Caller shows the State Department knew about Clinton's personal account as early as August 2011, with suggestions to use a government BlackBerry and a .gov account rejected by Clinton's aide, Huma Abedin. The Obama Justice Department allegedly ordered federal lawyers to do and not to do concerning the Hillary Clinton email investigation. During sworn testimony on Capitol Hill, one insider told lawmakers what she was told. In closed-door testimony last summer, former FBI lawyer Lisa Page said the Obama administration's Justice Department advised the FBI not to pursue the gross negligence statute for Hillary Clinton in the mishandling of classified information. Former US attorney and House Republican John Radcliffe led the questioning about the statute known as 18 U.S.C. 793. Page interrupted, stating, "That is correct." Page's testimony appears to conflict with then-FBI director James Comey's recommendation in July 2016 against criminal charges for Clinton. When asked what authorities could assure the American people, she said, "No outside influence of any kind was brought to bear." The Republican-led House Oversight and Judiciary Committee investigation ended in January. With Democrats now in control, the committee's new ranking Republican made the Page transcript public. The transcript reveals an inherent two-tier system, with Hillary Clinton receiving different treatment: "there was actually at first concerned that they were going to charge her and then with Loretta Lynch in charge before she recused herself, made it very clear that that was not going to happen." A tip from a chart drawn up by federal investigators for the Clinton case, known as the mid-year exam, listed possible federal statutes for prosecution. Next to gross negligence was a notation: "DOJ not willing to charge this." Only known cases are military cases when accused lost the information. In response to the Page revelations, the president tweeted that the transcripts would: "Make the Obama justice department look exactly like it was, a broken and corrupt machine." Page testified that "The nation cannot move forward unless people are held accountable," and referenced very senior people, saying, "you know who I'm talking about, I've said it many times. You know? It's the it's the you know, start with Obama and work your way down."

The transcript states that documents contain emails allegedly from the senior vice president of the George Soros Open Society Foundation. These emails quote a Clinton campaign adviser saying, "it will be a long term affair" and to "demonize Putin and Trump," and that, "later, the FBI will put more oil into the fire." Other emails reportedly reveal Hillary Clinton approved the idea of tying Trump and Russia to election interference, describing it as a scheme hoping the allegations would distract people from her own email scandal. The documents purportedly provide clear evidence that Hillary Clinton's campaign was behind the Russia hoax and that the FBI knew what the Clinton team was up to, acknowledging that the information they were receiving about the Trump campaign may have come from the Clinton camp. The transcript adds that, despite these alleged disclosures, the Obama intel community forged ahead with a 2017 assessment concluding that Russia aspired to help Trump win the election.

Hillary Clinton personally signed off on something. Robby Mook made it clear that Clinton paid Fusion GPS through her campaign and lawyers, and was told the papers provided hadn't been verified. They figured the media would vet the information, specifically Slate, not the New York Times or Wall Street Journal. This occurred while Clinton was deleting emails and having server issues. Clinton's team had an October surprise, and on October 31st, she retweeted Jake Sullivan's tweet about Trump's server with Alfa Bank, which was a lie. Robby Mook testified that Comey, not Trump, caused the most damaging days of the campaign. Hillary Clinton said in May 2017 that if the election were on October 27th, she would be president.

Clinton's use of a private server was motivated by concealment, not convenience, according to former US attorney Joe DeGeneva. The State Department repeatedly claimed there were no records of Clinton's emails, despite some officials knowing about her private server. Clinton never sought approval to use a private server for official business, and if she had, it would have been denied due to security risks. President Obama defended Clinton's actions, downplaying the importance of classified emails. The FBI's investigation into Clinton was criticized for its lack of integrity, with accusations that it was a political decision rather than a legitimate investigation.

Newly declassified material reveals handwritten notes by former CIA Director John Brennan from July 2016. According to the notes, Brennan briefed Obama and senior officials, suggesting Hillary Clinton's campaign approved a plan to tie Trump to Russian interference in the election, allegedly to distract from her email scandal. The notes outlined concerns about Russian knowledge of this strategy. The speaker claims that in 2016, Brennan, Obama, and their advisors knew Hillary Clinton was running an operation and were worried about Russia finding out about it. The speaker suggests that officials knew early on there was no evidence that General Flynn had done anything wrong, but talked about continuing to investigate him anyway.

In 2019, the FBI determined that in an effort to facilitate at least one leak, maybe more, James Comey's inner circle team, including his chief of staff, set up a private email account where they would forward government information into it in the furtherance of trying to leak unauthorized information, meaning information that should not be leaked to the media. They were using private email. They learned about this in '19, but they were doing this back in early twenty seventeen, just a few short weeks after clearing Hillary Clinton, but also shaming her. They didn't bring criminal charges against her, but they did in fact say that she should never have used private email. And a short while later, there they are doing the exact same thing, with complete impunity to the very standards that they told the American public the FBI was gonna hold up to.

Russia had this information. If they wanted to swing the election for Donald Trump, they would have released it in September or October 2016 at a pivotal time to swing momentum in Donald Trump’s direction and damage Hillary Clinton’s campaign. They did not do that deliberately. They understood that Hillary Clinton would likely be the inevitable president of The United States. They didn’t think Trump could win like a lot of other people.

Fox News alert: Tulsi Gabbard releases a report alleging a conspiracy by a sitting president, Barack Obama, and his intel agencies to sabotage the president-elect Donald Trump, brainwash the electorate, and undermine the legitimacy of an election. There is irrefutable evidence detailing how Obama and his national security team directed the creation of an intelligence community assessment they knew was false, promoting a narrative that Russia interfered in the 2016 election to help Trump win, selling it to the American people as true. Gabbard obtained a House Intelligence Committee report locked away in a CIA vault for almost a decade. Investigators spent over two thousand hours interviewing 20 CIA and FBI officials, and it shows the Obama administration doctored intelligence to make it look like Putin and Trump stole the election. A month after Trump beat Hillary, Obama wasn’t satisfied with intelligence reporting and ordered his CIA director to create a new assessment of how Russia interfered with the election. This was a highly unusual move. John Brennan handpicked five CIA analysts to write the assessment, and they were siloed; none knew what the others were doing, and only one analyst was in charge of drafting the report. It was not routine, and it was rushed to publish before Trump’s inauguration. Nothing was coordinated with other intelligence agencies. Basically, this was “home cooking” for Barack Obama. Four key elements were repeated to form the basis of the Russia hoax and the Mueller investigation: 1) that Vladimir Putin wanted Trump to win; 2) Putin took action to help Trump win; 3) the Russians had blackmail on Trump (the Steele dossier); and 4) that the Russians tried colluding with the Trump campaign. None of this was ever true; there was no reliable intelligence to support these allegations. Senior CIA officials repeatedly refused to traffic in these allegations, but were overruled by CIA director Brennan and FBI director Comey, who insisted they be pushed without verifiable evidence. The Obama administration cherry-picked intelligence, lied about sources, misquoted sources, did not corroborate claims, suppressed intelligence counter to their narratives, and even used anonymous Internet postings. Rank-and-file CIA admitted violations of tradecraft standards; a massive pressure campaign came from the top, with unusual directives from political appointees, the CIA director, and Obama himself. This is how the Russia hoax was born. Donald Trump knows that the Russians helped him win in 2016. Putin hated Hillary Clinton, with a noted preference for the opponent he disliked least. It was Russia in a systematic effort to interfere in the election and advance Trump’s prospects. The report notes that at one point, 60% of Democrats believed the Russians hacked voting machines to help Trump win, but the report shows Russians sought to create chaos and undermine democracy; solid intelligence suggested Putin had no preference, and expected Hillary to win, holding compromising dirt on her that he never released. If Putin wanted Trump to win, why didn’t he drop the dirt? There were high-level DNC emails detailing Hillary’s psycho-emotional problems, uncontrolled fits of anger, aggression, and a daily regimen of tranquilizers; Brennan and the intelligence community mischaracterized intelligence and relied on dubious sources to create a narrative of Putin’s preference for Trump, though Obama and intelligence leaders knew Putin did not collude with Trump and did not direct his people to help Trump win, yet they published it anyway. Obama and his intel spies purportedly cooked intelligence to look like Putin preferred Trump, undermining faith in elections and causing chaos. Do you believe this implicates Obama in criminal behavior? There is a referral of documents to the Department of Justice and the FBI to investigate criminal implications. Evidence points to Obama leading the manufacturing of the intelligence assessment. Even two years after the election, Obama pushed a hoax he knew wasn’t true. Brennan, Comey, and others may have liability. Trey Gowdy claims Brennan committed perjury for lying to Congress. When asked who commissioned the Steele dossier, responses indicate the CIA did not rely on it; it was not part of the intelligence community assessment. The broadcast concludes with the assertion that what happened to these officials is not revenge, but accountability, while noting ongoing questions about potential criminal action.

The Rubin Report

Press Stunned by Trump’s Brutally Honest Reaction to James Comey Question
reSee.it Podcast Summary
Memorial reverberations from Charlie’s death ignite a sweeping political conversation that links grief to power, truth, and the week’s battles over media and memory. Lash describes the memorial as heavy yet communal, while Marowitz recalls Charlie as a movement leader whose loss marks a turning point. The conversation acknowledges ongoing left-wing violence, noting a Texas ICE facility shooting that surfaced in coverage, and they promise to tie these threads back to Charlie’s legacy as the show aims to extract meaning amid the rapid news cycle. Attention then shifts to the Justice Department’s reported move to indict James Comey for perjury in relation to his 2016 Russia inquiry testimony, with the five-year statute looming. Dana argues Comey’s qualification of ‘I think so’ in response to whether there was surveillance creates a defensible buffer, but she and Rubin reject the idea that he was genuinely truthful. Carol adds that other Comey-era actions, including leaks approved by Comey that were later attributed to others, complicate the picture. Trump’s public reaction—calling Comey a bad person—frames the broader calculus about accountability and political risk. The panel pivots to media portrayal and the political theatre around charges against Comey, criticizing Jake Tapper for injecting partisan spin and noting that prosecutors must decide whether a viable case exists, independent of Trump’s desires. Dana reminds viewers of historic patterns in the FBI investigation era, while Carol points to the reliability of leaks and media framing. The discussion broadens to a Tennessee State University incident where MAGA supporters faced a hostile campus reception, highlighting perceived asymmetries in how conservative voices are treated on campus versus liberal voices. They review President Trump’s UN speech moment and his critique of the UN, including claims of funding migrants and alleged sabotage of his teleprompter and escalator course, framing it as part of a broader clash with global institutions. A closing segment invokes Thomas Sowell’s critique of the managerial class and its distance from consequences, tying the thread to a call for accountability and a new generation of voters—Gen X and Gen Z—prepared to challenge established power structures. The conversation closes with personal notes about weekend plans and mutual support.
