Brennan’s Fake Russia Collusion Assessment Even More Corrupt Than Current Report Shows

A still-classified staff report compiled by the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) found the John Brennan-led 2016 Intelligence Community Assessment (“ICA”) on Russian Election Interference significantly worse and significantly more corrupt than conveyed in the memorandum released last week by CIA Director John Ratcliffe, according to sources familiar with the report. The HPSCI staff report also reveals more details of the corruption, the sources told The Federalist.

Revelations that the ICA crafted by Brennan was even more corrupt than exposed last week in CIA Director John Ratcliffe’s release of the internal “tradecraft review” of the ICA suggests Brennan may finally face justice for his role in the Russia-collusion hoax. In fact, sources familiar with closed-door testimony Brennan provided to Congress suggest perjury charges are in the offing.

According to Breitbart News, members of Congress and senior staff maintain that “Brennan had testified behind closed doors that he did not advocate for the dossier to be included in the ICA.” That testimony, however, conflicts with the findings from the newly released CIA review, which detailed how Brennan included the Steele Dossier in the ICA “over the objections of career intelligence officials.”

The CIA report released last Tuesday by Director Ratcliffe includes many more problems with both the procedure and the substance of the ICA — a report then-Director John Brennan took the lead in drafting. Among other things, the CIA concluded the ICA report should not have attributed “high confidence” to the conclusion that “Putin and the Russian Government aspired to help President-elect Trump’s election chances.” Nor should the ICA have included the Steele Dossier in its annex or referenced it in the text of the report, the CIA concluded.

But those problems and the others detailed in the CIA report pale in comparison to the real corruption at play, according to sources familiar with a separate HPSCI staff report. Those sources told The Federalist that HPSCI, under the leadership of then-Chair Devin Nunes, “found the ICA significantly worse and significantly more corrupt than was conveyed in the CIA report.” The staff report also reveals more details related to the ICA’s report on Russia’s 2016 influence campaign.

‘Dark Forces At Play’: MAGA Revolts Over Trump DOJ’s Epstein Findings

Many of President Donald Trump’s fiercest supporters are turning on his own Justice Department after a memo concluded Jeffrey Epstein killed himself and left no incrimination “client list.”

The memo, reported Sunday by Axios, concluded there was no evidence of foul play in the death of the convicted child sex trafficker and found no substantiation for Attorney General Pam Bondi’s earlier claims that an Epstein client list existed.

“It’s sitting on my desk right now to review. That’s been a directive by President Trump. I’m reviewing that,” Bondi told Fox News in February in response to a question about an Epstein client list.

Now, with her department apparently contradicting her public claim, MAGA’s most faithful are calling for her ouster.

Former One America News Network (OAN) anchor Liz Wheeler and conservative commentators the Hodge Twins were among those demanding that Bondi be fired.

Wheeler had posed outside the White House in February with binders Bondi called the “Epstein Files: Phase 1,” the same day the attorney general spoke of reviewing the list on Fox News.

This Progressive Delivered a Brutal Fact Check for Those Politicizing the Texas Floods

You know the saying: a broken clock is right twice a day. For former Ohio State Sen. Nina Turner, a firebrand progressive and Bernie Sanders supporter, who is the perfect person to be an MSNBC guest, she holds that honor today in the aftermath of the devastating and tragic floods in Central Texas. The damage is immense, with the death toll surging toward 100 dead as storms ripped through Kerr County and swelled the Guadalupe River 25-plus feet in less than two hours.

Liberals have been blaming the Trump administration for the proposed DOGE cuts while also cheering for more deaths. It’s who the Left is regarding people with whom they disagree. They’re puerile, ghoulish, and all-around disgusting people who have no clue what they’re talking about. For Ms. Turner, she didn’t hold back trashing those on her side using a tragedy:

Zohran Mamdani’s SAT Scores Revealed After Columbia Application ‘African American’ Bombshell

Mayoral Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani’s SAT score has been revealed after the democratic socialist was sharply criticized over the revelation that he listed himself as African American on his application to Columbia University.

Mamdani received a 2140 out of 2400 on the test which was on the lower end of median scores for admitted students but was likely above the median score for black students, independent journalist Christopher Rufo reported.

The report links to a 2009 post highlighting the admitted classes’ standardized test scores, with the middle 50% scoring “between 2110 and 2300 on the Math, Critical Reading and Writing sections of the SAT.”

The Ugandan-born Mamdani got hammered by critics after the bombshell revelation that Mamdani listed that he was both “Asian” and “Black/African American” when applying to Columbia University, where his father Mahmood Mamdani is a professor.

The university had affirmative action policies when Mamdani applied in 2009, which critics said may have been the catalyst for the pol listing himself as black in order to get preferential treatment.

John Brennan May Face Perjury Issues After CIA Director Ratcliffe’s Review Uncovers Russia Hoax Testimony Problems

Former CIA Director John Brennan may be exposed to perjury problems after current CIA Director John Ratcliffe released an internal review of the agency’s Russia hoax materials, Breitbart News has learned exclusively.

Last week, Ratcliffe declassified and publicly released an internal CIA review of what is known as the “Intelligence Community Assessment,” or simply ICA, of the claims that Russia tried to influence the outcome of the 2016 election.

“[President Donald Trump] has trusted me with helping to end weaponization of US intelligence,” Ratcliffe posted on X when releasing the review. “Today’s report underscores that the 2016 IC Assessment was conducted through an atypical & corrupt process under the politically charged environments of former Dir. Brennan & former FBI Dir. Comey.”

For years, Republicans and Trump allies have claimed that the ICA from 2016—when Brennan led the CIA—was flawed because its findings were based in part on the highly political Christopher Steele Dossier. The Steele Dossier, which was funded by Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton’s campaign, was filled with blatant misinformation and inaccuracies like the false claims of “pee tapes” about Trump. The Clinton campaign and Democratic National Committee (DNC) later paid a combined six-figure fine to settle a Federal Election Commission (FEC) investigation into whether or not it properly reported the payments made through Perkins Coie and Fusion GPS to create the Steele Dossier.

Elon Musk’s AI Chatbot Grok Blames Donald Trump for Texas Flood Deaths

Elon Musk’s AI chatbot Grok is joining woke idiots like Rosie O’Donnell in blaming President Donald Trump for deaths resulting from the horrific flooding in central Texas during Independence Day weekend. After receiving pushback, the AI chatbot ultimately conceded to X users by changing its claim from “directly” to “likely,” and promising to “aim for more nuance.”

During the early hours of Friday, a flash flood ravaged Kerr County, Texas causing widespread damage and road washouts, as well as the deaths of nearly 70 people. The search for 11 missing girls and others continues.

Elon Musk’s AI chatbot, Grok, was quick to blame the tragedy on Donald Trump.

“Grok is woke and full of shit. What the fuck is happening to X?” popular X influencer Catturd wrote, sharing a screenshot of a post in which the AI chatbot claimed cuts to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and National Weather Service (NWS) resulted in deaths.

“Trump’s 2025 cuts slashed NOAA/NWS funding by [approximately] 30% and staff by 17%, impairing forecast accuracy,” Grok claims, adding, “Warnings underestimated rainfall, contributing to inadequate alerts for the flash floods that killed 24 and left [approximately] 24 Camp Mystic girls missing, presumed dead in ongoing searches.” (Read more from “Elon Musk’s AI Chatbot Grok Blames Donald Trump for Texas Flood Deaths” HERE)

Shadowy CIA Operative Interacted With Lee Harvey Oswald Months Before JFK Assassination, Newly Released Docs Show

A shadowy CIA operative specializing in psychological warfare interacted with Lee Harvey Oswald ahead of President John F. Kennedy’s assassination — and then ran interference against congressional investigators probing whether the US spy agency was connected to the killing, newly disclosed documents show.

CIA officer George Joannides assumed the alias “Howard Gleber” in January 1963, and led an American effort to infiltrate anti-communist Cuban student groups in the year leading up to JFK’s killing that November, according to government documents released Thursday and reviewed by Axios.

Oswald, 23 at the time, got into a fight with members of one of those student groups — the DRE, an organization vehemently-opposed to dictator Fidel Castro’s rule over Cuba — while he was handing out pro-communist leaflets in New Orleans nearly four months before the JFK assassination in Texas.

That fight publicly exposed Oswald as a Castro-sympathizer — with news outlets covering a hearing that followed, and the soon-to-be killer later debating DRE members on a local television broadcast, according to Axios.

A year before that exposure, the Pentagon was looking for excuses to attack Cuba — including plotting a false flag plan known as Operation Northwoods, which drew-up a fake assault on the US that would be blamed on the communist nation.

TikTok Reportedly Building New U.S. Version Of App Ahead Of Sale

TikTok is reportedly building a new version of its app specifically for the United States. The video sharing platform’s app for American users has a planned launch in U.S. app stores Sept. 5, The Information reported.

This development comes shortly after President Donald Trump said the U.S. had “pretty much” reached a deal for an American company to acquire TikTok’s U.S. assets. The president told Maria Bartiromo of Fox News that the deal is “good for China, and it’s good for us.” He added he is optimistic about the deal even though it will require China’s approval.

“I think I’ll need probably China’s approval. I think President Xi will probably do it,” he said.

In April, an earlier deal that the Trump administration had to finalize TikTok’s sale fell through, reportedly in response to the president’s ‘Liberation Day’ tariffs.

Last month, the president extended the deadline for TikTok’s China-based parent company ByteDance to divest its U.S. assets to Sept. 17. It was the third time the president extended the deadline, according to Fox News. (Read more from “TikTok Reportedly Building New U.S. Version Of App Ahead Of Sale” HERE)

NORAD Fighter Jet Intercepts General Aviation Plane After Multiple Airspace Violates Trump’s No-Fly Zone

A general aviation aircraft was intercepted Saturday afternoon by a NORAD-controlled fighter jet after entering restricted airspace near Bedminster Township, New Jersey, where President Donald Trump was spending the holiday weekend, officials said. The airspace over Bedminster is always locked down whenever Trump is in the area.

According to a statement from NORAD, the pilot entered a temporary flight restriction (TFR) zone shortly before 2:40 p.m. ET. A fighter jet performed a standard “headbutt” maneuver—a tactic used to catch a pilot’s attention—and safely guided the aircraft out of the restricted airspace. This incident was the fourth TFR breach in the area that day, with a fifth violation occurring afterward, bringing the total number of airspace incursions to five.

Trump Dismisses Musk’s Political Ambitions as ‘Ridiculous’ in Sharp Rebuke

President Donald Trump slammed former first buddy Elon Musk for starting a third political party, saying such parties have “never worked” while also calling the move “ridiculous.”

Trump spoke with reporters before boarding Air Force 1 in Bedminster, New Jersey, when he was asked about Musk’s move to start a third party.

“I think it’s ridiculous to start a third party,” Trump said from the tarmac. “We have a tremendous success with the Republican Party. The Democrats have lost their way, but it’s always been a two-party system, and I think starting a third party just adds to confusion.

“It really seems to have been developed for two parties,” the president continued. “Third parties have never worked. So, he can have fun with it, but I think it’s ridiculous.”

Musk announced the launching of a new political party called the “America Party” on his social media platform X on Saturday. (Read more from “Trump Dismisses Musk’s Political Ambitions as ‘Ridiculous’ in Sharp Rebuke” HERE)
