A bombshell CIA internal review, declassified by Director John Ratcliffe, confirms what conservatives have long suspected: the 2016 Russia Investigation was tainted by political influence and skewed intelligence.
The internal CIA review shows that former Director John Brennan overrode career intelligence professionals to include the politically funded Steele dossier in the official Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) on Russian election interference.
- According to the report, “When confronted with specific flaws in the Dossier … he appeared more swayed by the Dossier’s general conformity with existing theories than by legitimate tradecraft concerns.”
- Brennan then personally defended its inclusion: “my bottomline is that I believe that the information warrants inclusion in the report.”
Career officers had serious concerns—but Brennan ignored them, choosing political alignment over analytical rigor. That’s overreach and a direct affront to conservative values of accountability and balanced government.
Ratcliffe took to X to explain his mission:
“[President Donald Trump] has trusted me with helping to end weaponization of US intelligence,”
and added:
“All the world can now see the truth: Brennan, Clapper and Comey manipulated intelligence and silenced career professionals — all to get Trump.”
This move was praised by conservative outlets like The Daily Wire for piercing the deep-state veil and showing the intelligence community can be held accountable.
Here’s the kicker: Although this review proves Brennan pushed for inclusion of the Steele dossier, he told Congress under oath he did not. That discrepancy could mean perjury. As one congressional insider put it, “The DOJ could have a field day with this.” Another added, “It just shows how lawless Brennan and the entire Obama regime were.”
The National Review has highlighted the significance, noting DOJ intervention could reshape how intelligence is trusted—and deter future politicization.
- Fiscal Responsibility: Trust in government spending and intel is vital. Politicized intelligence wastes taxpayer money and misleads policy.
- National Security: Secure borders and common-sense defense start with real, honest intelligence—not biased narratives.
- Limited Government: This revelation underscores why oversight matters—and why unchecked power must be restrained.
Thanks to Ratcliffe’s release, conservatives finally see the truth behind the Russia hoax: Brennan’s political influence nearly derailed democratic norms and trusted intelligence. Whether DOJ pursues charges or not, this moment marks a step toward reestablishing transparency and placing country ahead of career agendas.
Stay tuned as developments unfold—this could be one of the clearest signs yet that the swamp can be drained and that our security infrastructure can be restored to its true, mission-based purpose.
