The truth about the Russia hoax is finally coming out following the release of a newly declassified CIA memo.
The bombshell report exposes major flaws in the intelligence community’s rush to claim Russia supported President Donald Trump in 2016.
Ordered by CIA Director John Ratcliffe, the move reveals how an investigation that hounded President Trump’s first term may have been built on a foundation of politically motivated errors.
The declassified memo identifies serious “anomalies” in the 2017 intelligence assessment that claimed Russia interfered in the 2016 election to help President Trump win.
Among the most damning findings was the rushed timeline and heavy reliance on unconfirmed information, including the now-discredited Steele dossier.
Ratcliffe had previously spoken out against the Russia investigation while serving in Congress.
He specifically targeted the intelligence community’s handling of the conclusion that Russian President Vladimir Putin personally directed efforts to help President Trump.
The report suggests this key finding may have been compromised by political pressure and flawed methodology.
The memo takes particular issue with how the Steele dossier, which contained controversial and unverified claims about President Trump, was incorporated into the intelligence assessment.
According to the report, this inclusion seriously undermined the analytical integrity of the entire investigation that Democrats used to question President Trump’s legitimacy for years.
For Trump supporters who have long maintained the Russia investigation was a partisan witch hunt, this report provides significant vindication.
It represents the latest effort by President Trump and his allies to expose what they see as the deep state’s attempt to undermine his presidency through baseless allegations of Russian collusion.
Despite the CIA’s assessment, critics have slammed the veracity of the agency’s memo.
“This report doesn’t change any of the underlying evidence — in fact it doesn’t even address any of that evidence,” said Russia expert Brian Taylor, who directs the Moynihan Institute of Global Affairs at Syracuse University.
“Good intelligence analysts will tell you their job is to speak truth to power. If they tell the leader what he wants to hear, you often get flawed intelligence,” Taylor said.
Despite such dismissals, the report highlights how unusual it was for intelligence agencies to rush such a sensitive assessment.
Intelligence professionals typically require substantial time to properly analyze and verify information before making high-confidence judgments, especially on matters involving presidential politics.
What makes this revelation even more remarkable is how the mainstream media and Democrat politicians used the 2017 assessment to question President Trump’s legitimacy for years.
The declassification of this critical review is part of Ratcliffe’s broader commitment to transparency on matters of significant public interest.
He has already declassified records on other important topics, including the Kennedy assassinations and COVID-19 origins.
Intelligence agency reviews are typically kept classified, making this public release all the more significant.
For conservative Americans who have questioned the Russia narrative from the beginning, this report confirms that the investigation into President Trump was compromised from the start by political bias and procedural irregularities.
