The “Russian Collusion” investigation of Donald J. Trump, known internally to government entities as CROSSFIRE HURRICANE, is perhaps the most corrupt operation carried out by American intelligence on American soil in the entire history of the United States. What we’re learning is that the entire thing was a fabrication created to not just hobble, but ultimately bring down the newly elected president and his administration.

Just in the last few days, weeks and months, we’ve learned that the “Steele Dossier,” the now infamous collection of salacious gossip and hearsay compiled by former M16 British spy Christopher Steele, was provided by a former senior research analyst at the liberal Brookings Institution in Washington, D.C. The New York Times reported that,

The F.B.I. had approached the expert, a man named Igor Danchenko, as it vetted the dossier’s claims. He agreed to tell investigators what he knew with an important condition, people familiar with the matter said — that the F.B.I. keep his identity secret so he could protect himself, his sources and his family and friends in Russia

U.S. Attorney General William Barr decided to declassify the report of the FBI’s interview with Danchenko. Part of why he made it public is because it further calls into question the credibility of the dossier, which was used by the FBI, through the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), to obtain wiretaps of Carter Page, the former Trump campaign adviser. Danchenko is not a Russian asset, but a Russia analyst, with no firsthand knowledge of Russian spooks or their intelligence operations.

Yet, when the FBI renewed a FISA warrant against Page, they referred to the Danchenko as “truthful and cooperative” and “Russian-based,” an obvious lie now that he’s been revealed as the primary source of the dossier.

Even more damning is the fact that Steele paid Danchenko for the information. Lindsey Graham, the Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman, said that the dossier was “the most successful political operation in the history of Democratic Party — because Steele was on the payroll of the Democratic Party and Hillary Clinton’s campaign.” Steele was hired by the opposition research firm Fusion GPS, funded by Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign and the Democratic National Committee through the Perkins Coie law firm.

On top of that, we’ve learned that the investigation into former White House National Security Advisor and Lt. General Michael Flynn was an offshoot of CROSSFIRE HURRICANE called CROSSFIRE RAZOR. The biggest bombshell of that probe was that former president Barack Obama and vice-president Joe Biden both knew about it and, in fact, seemed to have directed the probe.

We know that from notes taken by Peter Strzok on January 4, 2017.

“Strzok’s notes believed to be of January 4, 2017, reveal that former President Obama, James Comey, Sally Yates, Joe Biden, and apparently Susan Rice discussed the transcripts of Flynn’s calls and how to proceed against him,” Powell wrote. “Mr. Obama himself directed that ‘the right people’ investigate General Flynn.”

Since that report, we’ve learned that Strzok’s notes concern the January 5 meeting of the key players listed above. We also know from text messages that Strzok ordered the Flynn investigation kept open even though the FBI concluded there was no legal basis to continue it. Strzok texted an unnamed associate on January 4, “Hey if you haven’t closed RAZOR, don’t do so yet.”

In other words, Strzok kept the investigation into Flynn alive even though there was no credible evidence to investigate or charge him. Similarly, there was no credible evidence to investigate Trump or the Trump campaign. It was all a major disinformation hoax with trumped up evidence and charges, and it went all the way to the top of the government, meaning Barack Hussein Obama and Joseph Robinette Biden Jr., the president and the vice-president of the United States of America.

It boggles my mind that there isn’t more of an uproar over this from Congress—including the Republicans—and from American citizens. Is it now okay with us for our elected officials to behave like a third-rate military junta who frame and destroy others as a pretext for keeping political power? Is that not an offence to our republic and the principle of self-government? Did the people not select president Trump as the next president? Did Barack Obama and Joe Biden not betray that trust and 240 years of the peaceful transfer of power?

I am personally furious over this. Democrats have deliberately obfuscated and dodged and protected and lied and hidden what happened. They’ve put power and politics above integrity, above our republic, and above government of the people, by the people, and for the people. We need to bring the hammer, and people need to be charged, tried and sent to jail. It’s the closest thing we’ve had to a coup d’état, and we need to make it as painful as possible so that it never happens again.
