CIA declassifies indictment of CIA

An Infographic: Props to Director Ratcliffe

Earlier today, CIA Director John Ratcliffe issued a stark report on the origins of the Russia Collusion hoax. It outlines the repeated efforts by the Obama administration - starting in 2015 but with an unknown end date - to link Donald Trump to Russia. The costs of these criminal activities to the American enterprise are incalculable.

An Unprecedented Weaponization of Intelligence

To begin: the Obama-Brennan 2016 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) represents an alarming departure from traditional intelligence practices, revealing how one administration systematically targeted a political opponent using the apparatus of the intelligence community.

Never before in American history have we seen such blatant manipulation of intelligence processes—compressed timelines, excluded agencies, suppressed dissenting views, and the inclusion of unvetted opposition research—all orchestrated to produce a predetermined political outcome.

This wasn't merely poor tradecraft or bureaucratic incompetence. The CIA's own internal review reveals a coordinated effort by Obama administration officials, led by CIA Director John Brennan, to circumvent established intelligence protocols and produce an assessment that would damage an incoming president. The implications are clear.

What makes this particularly nauseating is that it occurred during a presidential transition, a heretofore sacred period in American democracy when power transfers peacefully. That is, until Obama.

The following infographic depicts an overview of the report, but I would encourage you to read the whole thing.

The Path to Accountability

The weaponization of intelligence agencies against political opponents represents one of the gravest threats to the American republic in its history. Today's target may be your political foe; tomorrow's could be you.

This cannot be allowed to stand.

🏛️ Congressional Action: House and Senate Intelligence Committees must conduct comprehensive oversight hearings, compelling testimony from all participants and demanding full document production—no more hiding behind bogus classification claims.

⚖️ Department of Justice Investigation: A special prosecutor should investigate potential criminal violations, including conspiracy to deprive civil rights, abuse of office, and perjury committed during congressional testimony.

📋 Legislative Reforms: Congress must pass laws requiring Inspector General approval for politically sensitive intelligence assessments, mandating standard timelines and Congressional oversight, and criminalizing the inclusion of unvetted partisan material in official intelligence products.

💰 Financial Accountability: Those who violated their oaths should face civil liability, pension forfeiture, and security clearance revocation—consequences that match the severity of their actions.

📚 Public Education (no Teacher’s Unions needed): The full scope of this abuse must be declassified and taught in civics classes as a cautionary tale about the fragility of the Republic. Along with basic American history, which would be nice.

The American people require intelligence agencies that serve the Constitution, not partisan political agendas. This requires more than process reforms—it demands accountability that sends an unmistakable message: weaponizing intelligence against fellow Americans will result in severe personal and professional ramifications.

The choice is clear: accountability now, or the normalization of intelligence agency abuse forever. This is not a drill.
