A CIA study was published on July 2nd about the Obama Administration’s accusations that in 2016 Donald Trump’s Presidential campaign had colluded with the Russian Government to swing the 2016 U.S. Presidential election toward a Trump victory, and it reported and presented conclusive evidences that this “Russiagate” narrative had been an Obama Administration hoax, and that its principals (co-authors) were the then-CIA Director John Brennan, the then FBI Director James Comey, and the then Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, the three persons who totally excluded, from their falsely (fraudulently) alleged 2016 U.S. ‘Intelligence Community’ study and report (“INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY ASSESSMENT: Assessing Russian Activities and Intentions in Recent US Elections”) on the matter, any participation by the Defense Intelligence Agency, the National Security Agency, the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, the National Reconnaissance Office, the intelligence elements of the five DoD services; the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, and Space Force, the Department of State’s Bureau of Intelligence and Research, and the other five U.S. intelligence agencies of the 18-member U.S. Intelligence Community. These three intelligence chiefs — CIA, FBI, and DNI — produced that fake ‘Intelligence Community Assessment’, by including in it ‘evidences’ (such as the infamous “Steele dossier”) and by excluding from it the numerous solid and irrefutaby authentic evidences.
