As the president heads to Alaska to attempt to negotiate a peace effort in the Ukraine war, it is a fitting time to reiterate that the Trump Russia smear in the first term was a completely fabricated attempt to destroy Trump and his presidency.
As a top aide to Obama told me, their goal was “to rip it all down”
It was obvious from day 1 by simply reading the Steele dossier that it was a poorly constructed hoax with obvious falsehoods and yet the media treated this disinformation as real and convinced about 40 per cent of the voters that Trump was a Russian agent and the real story of “collusion” was going to come out any day. Only it never did come out because it all was a plot initiated by the opposing campaign and furthered by those in the fbi, cia, doj and perhaps the WH to hobble the new president.
I think Clapper and Brennan emerge now along with Comey as perpetrators of this attempt to subvert the democratic outcome of the election through the misuse of their official positions. I think that has been clear for a long time but is reinforced by the recent documents. No president of either party should ever have to endure an effort by officials of the other party’s appointees to subvert our system in this way.
