The Trump-Russia collusion narrative—once breathlessly pushed by legacy media and the political elite—has suffered its most devastating blow yet.

Newly declassified documents released by Director of Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard confirm that U.S. intelligence officials knew as early as 2016 that Russia had not interfered in any meaningful way in President Donald J. Trump’s victory over Hillary Clinton. Yet the Obama administration moved forward with an unprecedented federal investigation into Trump’s campaign—despite evidence debunking the very premise of its existence.

The memo, delivered directly to then-President Barack Obama, made it clear: “Russian and criminal actors did not impact recent US election results by conducting malicious cyber activities against election infrastructure.”

It further stated: “The targeting of infrastructure not used in casting ballots makes it highly unlikely it would have resulted in altering any state’s official vote.” In other words: no impact, no interference, and no justification for the media-fueled witch hunt that followed.

The intelligence community also concluded that the scope of criminal cyber activity in 2016 “failed to reach the scale and sophistication necessary to change election outcomes.”

Veteran investigative journalist Paul Sperry reported Friday that insider sources have confirmed the existence of damning text messages and emails showing direct coordination between the Obama White House, the National Security Council, Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign, and high-ranking officials in the State Department and intelligence agencies.

“I’m told there are texts/emails indicating Hillary Clinton campaign aides directly coordinated with the Obama White House, NSC, State Dept and Intelligence Community officials in efforts to dig up dirt tying Donald Trump to Vladimir Putin in July 2016 …developing…” Sperry posted on X.

If verified, these communications would provide the clearest evidence yet that the “Crossfire Hurricane” operation was a political dirty trick masquerading as national security—and the American people were the target.

According to current CIA Director John Ratcliffe, career intelligence officers now believe former CIA Director John Brennan actively concealed critical details of the investigation, cherry-picked intelligence, and aggressively pushed to include the now-debunked Steele dossier—a Clinton campaign-funded fabrication used to smear Trump.

Former FBI Director James Comey is also under new scrutiny. Officials are reportedly preparing the groundwork for criminal referrals against Brennan, Comey, and others for their roles in perpetrating what one senior official described as “an influence operation far more consequential than anything Putin cooked up.”

A newly completed 200-page congressional audit, compiled after a secret meeting between DOJ and intelligence officials last weekend, reportedly outlines a timeline of deception, obstruction, and potential perjury.

Prosecutors are also exploring whether Brennan lied under oath to Congress when he claimed the Steele dossier had no role in the Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA)—a claim now contradicted by multiple sources. While the statute of limitations on perjury may have passed, charges for conspiracy to commit perjury remain on the table.

“Obama ordered the ICA to set Trump up and knock him off balance before he could even get started,” said one high-ranking official. “This was never about Russia. This was about stopping Trump.”

Meanwhile, Comey drew fresh attention after a cryptic social media post sparked enough concern that the Secret Service paid him a visit earlier this year.

The memo release marks a dramatic escalation in the Trump administration’s ongoing effort to declassify and expose the truth about Crossfire Hurricane. Gabbard’s release is only the beginning. Intelligence sources say additional transcripts, emails, and internal notes from Special Counsel John Durham’s investigation—which concluded in 2023 that the Trump–Russia theory was baseless—are being prepared for release.

For President Trump, this moment is personal. The Russia hoax cast a shadow over his first term and undermined the peaceful transition of power—something Democrats now claim to cherish.

But the hoax didn’t just hurt Trump. It eroded public trust, politicized intelligence, and weaponized federal law enforcement against a duly elected president. And now, the American people are finally learning who was behind it.
