Obama’s library has that “drunk Soviet architect” vibe I used to love. Of course, the Trump library will be epic - I’m hoping for something like the Dr. Evil mountain.

EXCLUSIVE: The FBI has been keeping a separate set of books in the form of secret “prohibited access” files for a generation, and the Bureau has finally begun to disclose them:

In other words, by failing to take the steps to figure out if the Russian reports were accurate, the FBI/CIA could not possibly have conducted a real "Intelligence Community Assessment" of the 2016 election.

Every journalist gets things wrong. If it happens because a source lied, yes, you should be furious. Not many examples of that across this whole fiasco.

There's no innocent explanation for covering up this crucial background in later investigations in search of "collusion." The ICA was just the first in a line of shams.

The report adds:
"Despite this awareness, the FBI appears to have dismissed the [intelligence information] as not credible without any investigative steps actually having been taken to either corroborate or disprove the allegations.”

"FULLY ALERTED"
Durham explains the FBI “was fully alerted to the possibility that at least some of the information it was receiving about the Trump campaign might have its origin either with the Clinton campaign or its supporters, or... the product of Russian disinformation."

Even if the foreign intercepts about a "plan" to vilify Trump are incorrect or overstated, they were taken seriously by the intelligence agencies - who went on to conceal their existence while professing to objctively analyze Trump-Russia connections.

There are obviously multiple levels to the story described in the declassified Durham report, but there's no version of it that isn't damning for the FBI, CIA, and Hillary Clinton.

2025-07-31 18:40:16 UTC

There is no way for any corporate media outlet to cover this story at all. Logistically, it can't be done without making major admissions.
It will have to be reported out entirely by independents.

Your publication already had to update over a dozen stories (and should have updated several more) after the Twitter Files showed the "Hamilton 68" dashboard claiming to track Russian influence to be "bullshit," as Twitter's Trust and Safety chief put it at the time.

The US is backing the cancelation of an election in Romania.
This is a very bad sign. The pretext is comically thin - that TikTok unduly influenced voters ostensibly on behalf of Russia.
