Grook:
In a factory dark and grim,
Info raw goes in the bin,
Out comes hoax, all polished neat,
Truth’s the first to take a seat.
[Note: Every day uncovers fresh evidence of the profound corruption that plagued our intelligence community during the Obama era. Today, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard declassified this explosive report from the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI). We jumped straight to the source—downloading the full 44-page document—and analyzed it meticulously. Our essential findings follow below, distilling the core truths without unnecessary clutter.]
This explosive declassified report from the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI), released by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, completely exposes how Obama-era intelligence officials deliberately manufactured the so-called Russia hoax to undermine and cripple President Trump’s incoming administration. Finalized in September 2020 but only declassified in July 2025, the 44-page document reveals a premeditated conspiracy involving top figures like Barack Obama, CIA Director John Brennan, DNI James Clapper, and FBI Director James Comey, who weaponized the intelligence community against a duly elected president.
The HPSCI Report dismantles the foundational 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) on Russian election interference, showing it was based on scant, cherry-picked, and unverifiable intelligence, rushed through an abnormal process to delegitimize Trump before his inauguration. This wasn’t legitimate national security work—it was a partisan hit job designed to perpetuate the lie of Trump-Russia collusion, fueling years of baseless investigations and media hysteria.
The report’s timeline lays bare the rush to fabricate the narrative: In December 2016, shortly after Trump’s election victory, Obama personally directed Clapper and Brennan to produce the ICA within weeks, bypassing the full 17-agency intelligence community and limiting input to a handpicked team of just five CIA analysts and a principal drafter. This “unusual directive” ignored standard peer review processes and excluded agencies with relevant expertise, such as those focused on cybersecurity.
Brennan aggressively pushed for the inclusion of unverified claims, including the now-debunked Steele Dossier—funded by the Clinton campaign and riddled with salacious, false allegations about Trump—despite strong objections from career analysts who warned it lacked credibility and could damage the ICA’s integrity. Dissenting views were suppressed, including intelligence from a Putin confidant indicating Russia “did not care who won” and expected a Clinton victory, as well as Russia’s failure to release damaging Clinton material in the election’s final weeks.
The ICA’s “high confidence” judgment that Putin preferred Trump rested on a single “vague, unverifiable line” from a substandard spy report, with no direct empirical evidence to support it. This manipulation allowed Obama officials to promote the hoax that Russia helped Trump win, knowing it was false, to justify surveillance, the Mueller probe, and endless smears—all while admitting under oath (in declassified 2017-2018 interviews) that they had “no empirical evidence” of Trump-Russia collusion.
Key exposures in the report highlight blatant anti-Trump bias and institutional betrayal: Brennan overrode analyst warnings about the lack of evidence for Putin’s pro-Trump intent, insisting on its inclusion to fit the political agenda. The document also ties into Brennan’s July 2016 briefing to Obama about a Clinton-approved plan to “vilify Donald Trump” by linking him to Russia, showing the hoax’s origins in Democratic opposition research rather than genuine intelligence.
While the ICA acknowledged Russian efforts to sow discord and undermine democracy generally, it exaggerated and fabricated the Trump-specific angle, ignoring alternatives like Russia’s preference for dealing with Clinton.
Liberal media and Democratic counterarguments—such as those from Sen. Mark Warner or Rep. Jim Himes, who call the report “flawed” and a “distraction”—are dismissed as desperate attempts to protect the deep state, especially given bipartisan Senate reviews that failed to uncover these manipulations. In reality, this report vindicates Trump’s long-standing claims of a “witch hunt,” proving the ICA was a “treasonous conspiracy” to subvert the peaceful transfer of power and the will of the American people.
The consequences of this exposed plot were devastating: It led to the ousting of figures like Michael Flynn, the sidelining of Attorney General Jeff Sessions, and the two-year Mueller investigation, which ultimately found no collusion but paralyzed Trump’s presidency.
Gabbard has referred evidence to the Justice Department for criminal investigations of Brennan and Comey, with calls from GOP leaders like House Speaker Mike Johnson for full accountability, including for Obama himself. The report recommends reforms like enhanced peer reviews and recusing political appointees during transitions to prevent future abuses.
Ultimately, this declassification shreds the credibility of the involved officials and the ICA, confirming what conservatives have known: The Russia hoax was a manufactured deep-state operation to destroy Trump, not a defense against foreign threats.
