It’s beginning to look like the Obama administration was all-in on the Russia collusion hoax long before Trump won the 2016 election.
On Monday, Fox News reported that before the FBI ever launched its politicized probe of the Trump campaign’s possible ties to Russia in the summer of 2016, U.S. intelligence agencies had “credible foreign sources” indicating the FBI would help spread the Russia collusion hoax, which of course is exactly what happened.
It’s the latest twist in a string of shocking new revelations about how the U.S. intelligence community, at the behest of then-President Barack Obama, manufactured and disseminated a false narrative that Moscow was working to get Trump elected in 2016.
The “credible foreign sources” that predicted the FBI would run an intelligence operation against Trump in the summer of 2016 were almost certainly Russian sources. Back in September of 2020, my colleagues Sean Davis and Mollie Hemingway reported that then-Director of National Intelligence (now CIA director) John Ratcliffe told congressional officials that top U.S. intelligence officials knew that Moscow was aware of Hillary Clinton’s campaign plan to accuse Trump of being a Russian asset.
