Sean Davis Exposes Russiagate Lies: Brennan, Clapper, and the Steele Dossier Deception

The "Russia Hoax" and Op-Ed Defense

• 🎯 Sean Davis critiques a New York Times op-ed by John Brennan and James Clapper aimed at "setting the record straight" regarding the Russia investigation.
• 💡 Davis argues Brennan and Clapper are doubling down on lies and attempting to rewrite the narrative as declassifications emerge.

Steele Dossier Deception

• 🔍 Brennan and Clapper claimed the Steele dossier was only in an annex of a classified version of the Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA).
• 📄 Documents released by Tulsi Gabbard allegedly show that a secret version of the ICA, provided to Obama, explicitly referenced the Steele dossier in its main body to justify key judgments.
• 🎭 A fourth bullet point, directly referencing the Steele dossier and supporting the judgment that Putin wanted Trump to win, was removed from the version given to Congress, constituting a corrupt and fraudulent act.

Media Collusion and Deep State Influence

• 📰 Davis asserts that the corporate media were not duped but were willing co-conspirators in a conspiracy to defraud the United States.
• 🚫 He believes major media outlets cannot cover this story without admitting their own complicity, making it an "extinction level event" for their credibility.
• 🏛️ The discussion touches on the concept of the "deep state" or permanent administrative state, where unelected bureaucrats view themselves as having the right to rule and may defraud or lie to political leadership to achieve their aims.

Brennan's Background and Tulsi Gabbard's Concerns

• 🚩 Brennan is described as a former avowed communist whose actions align with subverting U.S. institutions and eroding faith in government.
• 🗣️ Tulsi Gabbard is highlighted for her critique of weaponized intelligence and her call to remove individuals within the intelligence community who are willing to subvert the will of the American people.
