A newly released CIA report exposes what many have long suspected: the Russian collusion narrative, relentlessly pushed by Democrats and top intelligence officials, was a calculated fabrication designed to undermine Donald Trump before he even took office.

The truth, as it often does, is now breaking through—years later, but undeniable.

The bombshell CIA report, released June 26, 2025, has confirmed that the 2016 Intelligence Community Assessment alleging Russian interference to aid Donald Trump’s presidential campaign was intentionally and strategically corrupted by top Obama administration officials.

Former CIA Director John Brennan, FBI Director James Comey, and Director of National Intelligence James Clapper are directly implicated in orchestrating a politically motivated scheme to frame Trump, according to the review commissioned by current CIA Director John Ratcliffe.

Tradecraft Review 2016 ICA on Election Interference 062625

The report, published excuslively by the New York Post on Wednesday, was conducted by career analysts at the CIA’s Directorate of Analysis and details "multiple procedural anomalies" that undermined the ICA’s credibility.

It cites a "highly compressed production timeline," excessive involvement by agency heads, and the deliberate inclusion of the discredited Steele dossier, a salacious document funded by the Hillary Clinton campaign—despite objections from senior CIA Russia experts.

The review concludes that these actions were designed to push a false narrative of Trump-Russia collusion, raising serious questions about political motives.

On December 6, 2016, six weeks before Trump’s inauguration, President Barack Obama ordered the ICA, which claimed Russian President Vladimir Putin "aspired" to help Trump win the 2016 election.

The report reveals that Brennan handpicked a select group of analysts and limited coordination to only the CIA, FBI, NSA, and Office of the Director of National Intelligence, excluding 13 other intelligence agencies and sidelining the National Intelligence Council, a standard practice for such assessments.

The inclusion of the Steele dossier was particularly contentious. The controversial document central to the 2016 Trump-Russia investigation, alleged that Russia possessed compromising information on then-candidate Trump to influence his campaign.

Compiled by former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele and funded by the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee, the dossier claimed Russian authorities held sexually explicit material involving Trump, including unverified, fictitious accounts claiming Trump urinated on prostitutes during a 2013 Moscow trip.

It further alleged that Trump’s campaign coordinated with Russian operatives to release damaging information on Clinton, facilitated through intermediaries like Wikileaks and Trump’s former campaign manager Paul Manafort.

The dossier also asserted that Russian President Vladimir Putin personally directed efforts to support Trump’s 2016 election bid.

Despite warnings from CIA’s senior Russia experts and the Deputy Director for Analysis that the dossier "did not meet even the most basic tradecraft standards," Brennan insisted on its inclusion.

The dossier was appended as a two-page summary to the ICA, with a disclaimer that it was not used to reach the report’s conclusions.

However, the review notes that references to the dossier in the main body of the ICA "implicitly elevated unsubstantiated claims to the status of credible supporting evidence," compromising the report’s integrity.

The report also highlights a "chaotic" and "atypical" process, driven by a rushed timeline that gave analysts less than a week to draft the assessment and only days to coordinate with other agencies during the holiday season.

Hard-copy drafts were hand-carried between agencies, limiting review opportunities and creating a "politically charged environment" that discouraged dissent.

Media leaks, including December 9, 2016, reports by The Washington Post and The New York Times claiming the Intelligence Community had reached a "consensus" on Russian interference, further pressured analysts to align with the predetermined narrative.

The review criticizes the "highly unusual" direct involvement of Brennan, Comey, and Clapper, noting that their actions "likely influenced participants, altered normal review processes, and ultimately compromised analytic rigor."

One CIA manager reported that other analysts opted out of the process due to the intense political pressure and leadership interference.

The fallout from the corrupted ICA plauged the first two years of Trump’s presidency, fueling Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation, which ultimately found no evidence of Trump-Russia collusion.

CIA Director John Ratcliffe, warns the report evidences, "Obama, Comey, Clapper, and Brennan deciding, ‘We’re going to screw Trump.’ They stamped it as Russian collusion and classified it so nobody could see it."

Ratcliffe announced the findings on X, writing, “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@CIAofficers who conducted this review and exposed the facts."

The report’s revelations have reignited debates over the politicization and weaponzation of the intelligence community and its impact on American democracy.

Calls for accountability are mounting as the nation grapples with the long-term consequences of what critics describe as a deliberate attempt to subvert a duly elected president.

The deep state, the Obama machine, they didn’t just dislike Trump; they weaponized the entire intelligence community to take him down before he even stepped foot in the Oval Office.

Brennan, Comey, Clapper—they cooked up this Russian collusion fairy tale, shoved in that fake Steele dossier, and ran a three-year witch hunt that crippled a presidency.

This wasn’t incompetence; this was a coup, plain and simple.

And you know who paid the price? You did—the American people, fed lies by a complicit media and a corrupt establishment.

This CIA review pulls back the curtain on a dark chapter in our nation’s history, raising profound questions about trust, accountability, and the integrity of our institutions.

As the fallout from these revelations begins, one thing is clear: the American people deserve answers, and the pursuit of truth remains relentless.
