Bombshell CIA Report Exposes How Obama’s Team Framed Trump

The new CIA assessment released this week is nothing short of a
bombshell—a long-overdue confirmation of what conservative media has
been saying for years: The Obama administration, with the eager help of
its top intelligence brass, orchestrated an unprecedented operation to
cripple Donald Trump’s presidency before it even began. This isn’t some fevered speculation or partisan rumor.

According to the New York Post, the CIA’s own review lays out, in
damning detail, how former CIA Director John Brennan, former DNI James
Clapper, and former FBI Director James Comey took “unusual” and direct control over the infamous Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) that
became the cornerstone of the Russia collusion hoax.

Let’s be clear about what this means. These men didn’t just oversee the process—they commandeered it, sidelining career intelligence
professionals and shutting out 13 of the 17 intelligence agencies from
the assessment. Brennan handpicked the analysts, ensuring only the most compliant voices had a say. The National Intelligence Council, the body normally responsible for such crucial reports, was shoved aside. Why?
Because the outcome was predetermined: manufacture a narrative that
Trump was a Russian asset, no matter how flimsy the evidence.

The review identified “multiple procedural anomalies” that undermined
the credibility of the ICA, including “a highly compressed production timeline, stringent compartmentation, and excessive involvement of
agency heads.”

It also questioned the exclusion of key intelligence agencies and said
media leaks may have influenced analysts to conform to a false narrative
of Trump-Russia collusion.

“The rushed timeline to publish both classified and unclassified
versions before the presidential transition raised questions about a
potential political motive behind the White House tasking and timeline.”

The review found that Brennan directed the compilation of the ICA, and
that his, Comey’s and Clapper’s “direct engagement in the ICA’s development was highly unusual in both scope and intensity” and ”risked stifling analytic debate.”

According to the story, John Brennan handpicked a small group of CIA
analysts to produce the Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) on
Russian interference, deliberately excluding 13 of the 17 intelligence
agencies at the time. He bypassed the National Intelligence Council and insisted on including the discredited Steele dossier, despite objections
from its authors and top CIA Russia experts, to promote the false
narrative that Russia helped Trump win the 2016 election.

ICYMI: The Poll Numbers Democrats Don’t Want You to See

John Ratcliffe, the former Director of National Intelligence, put it
bluntly: “This was Obama, Comey, Clapper and Brennan deciding ‘We’re going to screw Trump.’” They manufactured the collusion narrative,
stamped it with the authority of the intelligence community, and then classified the details to keep the public in the dark. It was, in
essence, a soft coup—a direct assault on the will of the American
people, carried out by those sworn to uphold the Constitution.

The consequences were disastrous. Trump’s presidency was hobbled from
day one, forced to operate under a cloud of suspicion that was
deliberately manufactured by his political opponents. To this day, the
lie that Trump colluded with Russia lingers on, poisoning our politics
and giving Democrats a convenient excuse for their 2016 defeat. And why? Because Barack Obama ordered his lackeys to come up with a bogus
pretense to undermine Trump.

Republicans, and indeed every American who cares about the rule of law, shouldn’t settle for bureaucratic hand-wringing and empty promises of
reform. We’ve seen the evidence. We know who was responsible. It’s time
for real consequences. The American people deserve nothing less.

This is the scandal the media hoped you’d never see. The evidence is undeniable: Obama, Brennan, Clapper, and Comey manipulated intelligence
to undermine a duly elected president, and the mainstream press still
won’t hold them accountable. PJ Media has been on the front lines,
