(DC Pundit) – For years, we’ve all known that the Trump-Russia story was bogus, now the evidence proves it. According to a newly released CIA report, the infamous Steele Dossier, the same pile of unverified fiction that launched a thousand breathless media headlines, was knowingly used by top Obama-era intelligence officials in a coordinated effort to undermine President Donald Trump before he ever stepped foot in the Oval Office.
On Wednesday, CIA Director John Ratcliffe pulled back the curtain on what can only be described as a calculated political attack masquerading as national security. The report names names, former FBI Director James Comey, ex-CIA chief John Brennan, and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, all three working hand-in-glove to corrupt the Trump-Russia investigation from the very start.
These weren’t just misguided missteps. According to the report, Comey, Brennan, and Clapper knowingly propped up the discredited Steele Dossier, a document so absurd it would’ve made decent kindling, because they had one goal in mind: “screw Trump.”
And screw him they tried. For three long years, Democrats and deep state operatives used the fake dossier as their golden ticket to impeach Trump and stage a slow-motion coup attempt against the White House. They lied. They leaked. They gaslit half the country with phony tales of Russian collusion, all while sitting on information that showed their precious dossier had about as much credibility as a wet napkin.
All the world can now see the truth: Brennan, Clapper and Comey manipulated intelligence and silenced career professionals — all to get Trump. Thank you to the career @CIA officers who conducted this review and exposed the facts. https://t.co/S7Mxz6xA6P

The Steele Dossier, authored by a former British spy and bankrolled by the Hillary Clinton campaign and the DNC, was a flimsy collection of gossip, third-hand chatter, and political fantasy. And yet, it became the foundation of a multi-year witch hunt that divided the country, crippled faith in our institutions, and wasted millions of taxpayer dollars.
Of course, the media happily played along. After all, why do actual journalism when you can parrot talking points from anonymous intelligence sources and call it breaking news?
Now, with the CIA confirming what many conservatives have long suspected, that this was never about justice, but about vengeance, the American people deserve real accountability. These weren’t low-level paper-pushers making honest mistakes. These were the top brass, the ones who swore an oath to protect the Constitution, not shred it for political sport.
And yet, you’ll hear crickets from the legacy media. No wall-to-wall coverage. No tearful op-eds. No primetime apologies.
Miranda Devine at the New York Post reported:
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.”
So where’s the accountability? Will Comey, Brennan, and Clapper ever face consequences for weaponizing the U.S. intelligence apparatus against a duly elected president? Don’t hold your breath. But one thing is certain: the American people are no longer in the dark. They know the truth. And they know who tried to steal it from them.
President Trump continues to expose this rot from the inside out. After years of smear campaigns and partisan theatrics, it turns out Trump wasn’t the one colluding with foreign powers, he was the target of a homegrown conspiracy led by the very people entrusted with safeguarding democracy.
We’ve seen enough. It’s time for consequences.
