The Russia Collusion story is like the Jeffrey Epstein saga: neither will go away even after all these years.
Former CIA Director John Brennan, former Director of Intelligence James Clapper, former FBI Director James Comey and former President Barack Obama are all furiously spinning and whining after DNI Tulsi Gabbard dropped receipts in her report accusing the bunch of a “years long coup" and a "treasonous conspiracy" for manufacturing the entire hoax in order to bring down their nemesis, Donald Trump.
But now another name has come up: former National Security Advisor John Bolton, who served in Trump’s first term. RealClearInvestigations reporter Paul Sperry took to X to post a long thread detailing how he believes Bolton was an eager participant in the plot.
He buried the truth, Sperry alleges:
BREAKING: Sources tell me in 2018 former Trump Nat'l Security Adviser John Bolton received a classified memo summarizing the explosive report exposing how Brennan cooked up Putin-Trump intel, but Bolton stuck it in an NSC safe and never briefed Trump, believing the Brennan intel.

Breaking: Obama Finally Responds to Russiagate Accusations With Lame Statement, Calls Them 'Bizarre’
Bolton was busy trashing President Trump in June; perhaps the Mustachioed Man wanted to try to get ahead of this damaging story he probably knew was coming? RedState’s Becca Lower reported:
Former national security advisor and avid anti-Trumper John Bolton sat down with the Washington Examiner, and that topic came up in the story published this week. He pushed out the story on his X account with a string of gratuitous personal attacks on the president.
"Trump wants a Nobel Peace Prize, because Barack Obama received one," Bolton wrote, in part. "He won't get it for solving the Russian-Ukraine war. He tried unsuccessfully to claim credit for the recent India-Pakistan cease fire." Predictably, he blathered on about Trump's inability to effect change in the Israel-Iran conflict, including "failing to reach an agreement with Iran."
The man sounds pretty bitter, doesn't he?
Sperry continued, saying that despite widespread wild mainstream media claims that Russian President Vladimir Putin had blackmailable material on hand about Trump, he actually had it on someone else, as we reported:
Turns out from declassified intelligence that Vladimir Putin had no Kompromat on Donald Trump -- no pee tape, no nothing -- but he had a massive file on Hillary Clinton which he could use to blackmail her and control her as the president he really preferred

Sperry finished his thread with a short but stark conclusion: they all lied.
Bottom line: Brennan's CIA suppressed real intelligence and fabricated fake intelligence to frame Trump as a Russian conspirator and destroy his presidency. The ICA was a frame job, pure and simple.

For years, conservatives have known that there was serious corruption occurring at the highest levels of the nation’s intelligence apparatus—which RedState reported on relentlessly—and that they would do and did do just about anything to take Trump down. Still, to read the actual details in Gabbard’s report and revelations like these on Bolton is still jaw-dropping stuff.
I do not imagine it’s going to stop anytime soon—and nor should it.
The Deep State is working overtime to subvert President Trump's agenda and the will of the people.
