Democrats' baseless narrative of collusion and the dossier will be exposed as a major fraud: Dan Bongino emphasizes that those pushing false information on collusion and the dossier will eventually face consequences and promotes his upcoming book 'Exonerated' for further investigation into Spygate
No matter how long Adam Schiff, Eric Swalwell, and other Democrats continue to push their baseless narrative of collusion and the dossier, their actions will eventually be exposed as a major fraud on the American people. Dan Bongino, using an analogy of a vehicle pursuit, emphasizes that those who propagate false information will eventually be forced to surrender and face the consequences. Additionally, Bongino promotes Bravo Company Manufacturing, a high-quality firearms producer, emphasizing the importance of top-notch equipment for self-defense. His upcoming book, "Exonerated," is a continuation of his investigation into Spygate and is expected to be even bigger than the first one.
John Brennan's Role in Steele Dossier's Inclusion: John Brennan requested the inclusion of the unverified Steele dossier in the intelligence community assessment despite skepticism from some officials.
Bravo Company Manufacturing is known for producing high-quality precision rifles and pistols, with a strong commitment to their customers' safety and well-being. Meanwhile, in political news, there have been revelations about the role of John Brennan in the inclusion of the controversial Steele dossier in the intelligence community assessment during the 2016 election. John Brennan, who led one of the agencies involved in the production of the report, had previously denied any involvement with the dossier. However, a tweet by Rand Paul revealed that it was Brennan who requested its inclusion. The dossier, which contained unverified and salacious information, was treated with skepticism by some in the intelligence community, including James Comey, who acknowledged its unverified status but felt there was an obligation to investigate its potential accuracy given the seriousness of the allegations.
Brennan's Role in Including Steele Dossier in ICA Unclear: Despite conflicting reports, it's unclear if John Brennan demanded the Steele dossier be included in the Intelligence Community Assessment, but evidence suggests he may have known about it earlier than admitted.
There is conflicting information regarding John Brennan's involvement with the inclusion of the Steele dossier in the December 2016 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA). While sources close to Rand Paul claim that Brennan demanded the dossier be included, Brennan and his spokesperson have denied this. However, evidence suggests that Brennan may have known about the dossier earlier than he admitted, as he briefed Harry Reid about Russian interference in the election in August 2016, and information from the dossier was included in a letter Reid sent to the FBI that same week. The inconsistencies in Brennan's statements raise questions about his credibility and honesty.
Allegations of biased information in intelligence assessment on Russian election interference: Former intelligence community director John Brennan included unverified info in assessment, obtained in August but claimed in Dec, raising concerns about assessment integrity and potential misuse of unverified intel
During a discussion on a podcast, it was alleged that John Brennan, the former intelligence community director, included unverified and potentially politically biased information in an intelligence community assessment regarding Russian interference in the 2016 election. The information, which he claimed to have seen in December, was actually obtained by him in August. Critics are questioning why he didn't vet this information before including it in the assessment and why there isn't a clear paper trail to prove its verification. The potential misuse of unverified information in an intelligence assessment raises serious concerns about the integrity of the intelligence community's work and could have significant implications. The discussion also touched upon the broader context of the ongoing investigations into Russian interference in the election and the role of various individuals and organizations in shaping the narrative around these events.
The Dossier Used for Trump-Russia Investigation Was a Hoax: Despite knowing the dossier's unreliability, Brennan, Mueller pursued Trump-Russia investigation for political reasons for over 675 days.
The dossier used as justification for the FBI's investigation into alleged Trump-Russia collusion was a hoax. John Brennan, who pushed for the dossier's inclusion in an intelligence community assessment, knew this yet continued the investigation for political reasons. Bob Mueller, who led the investigation, was aware of the dossier's unreliability by the summer of 2017 but still pursued it for over 675 days. This information, as explained by legal analyst Andy McCarthy, sheds light on the questionable nature of the Mueller investigation and raises important questions about the actions of key figures involved.

Comey misled Trump about Steele dossier's collusion allegations: Former FBI Director James Comey deceived President Trump about the collusion allegations in the Steele dossier during their 2017 conversation, while withholding this information from him and allowing the media to perpetuate a false narrative of collusion based on the unverified dossier.
Former FBI Director James Comey misled President Trump about the veracity of the Steele dossier during their January 2017 conversation at Trump Tower. Comey informed Trump about the salacious but unverified sexual allegations against him, while withholding information about the collusion allegations, which were also part of the dossier. This deception was significant because the FBI and DOJ had already relied on the unverified dossier to secure FISA warrants against Trump's associates. Comey's actions allowed the media to discredit Trump with the false narrative of collusion based on the dossier, while hiding the fact that they were still investigating him for collusion. The inconsistency between Comey's statements to Trump and the verified status of the dossier in the FISA applications raises serious questions about the credibility of the collusion investigation.
FISA Applications with Unverified Information from Steele Dossier: The FISA applications used to surveil Carter Page contained unverified information from the Steele dossier, which was funded by the Hillary Clinton campaign. The FBI failed to disclose this origin to the court, raising questions about the legitimacy of the surveillance.
The FISA applications used to surveil Carter Page during the 2016 election contained unverified information from the Steele dossier, which was funded by the Hillary Clinton campaign. Despite FBI officials' assertions that they had verified the information, they failed to disclose its origin to the court. Furthermore, the fourth FISA application, signed by Rod Rosenstein in June 2017, was not renewed by Mueller's team after it lapsed in September 2017. This raises questions about the legitimacy of the surveillance and the motivations behind it. The discovery of text messages between Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, revealing an affair and biased comments against Trump, further adds to the controversy surrounding the investigation. Overall, the situation highlights the importance of transparency and verification in the use of sensitive information in law enforcement and national security matters.
Mueller knew investigation was based on a hoax by July 2017: Mueller was informed of FBI bias and the flawed dossier foundation, but continued the Russia probe
Special Counsel Robert Mueller became aware in July 2017 that the FBI's investigation into the Trump campaign was based on a hoax, specifically the unverified dossier. This revelation came to light when Mueller was informed by the Inspector General about text messages between FBI officials expressing bias against Trump. Despite this knowledge, the FISA warrant on Carter Page, which was based on the dossier, was not renewed in September. Furthermore, Mueller's team had already started investigating Michael Cohen, President Trump's personal attorney, by July 2017, much earlier than previously known. These findings suggest that Mueller understood the investigation was built on a flawed foundation, yet he continued with it.
Mueller investigation based on fraudulent dossier: Despite knowing the dossier used to justify the Mueller investigation was a hoax, the DOJ and FBI continued it to save face, resulting in unrelated arrests and expanded investigation scope
The Mueller investigation, which was initially focused on Russian interference in the election, was based on a dossier that was known to be a hoax by the time Mueller took over the investigation in May 2017. Instead of acknowledging this to the American public, Mueller and the DOJ continued the investigation, arresting individuals like George Papadopoulos, Paul Manafort, and Michael Cohen, and expanding the scope of the investigation to include unrelated charges. This was done to save face for the FBI and DOJ, despite the fact that the entire investigation was based on a fraudulent dossier. The investigation only ended when Bill Barr was named attorney general. This raises serious questions about the integrity of the investigation and the motivations of those involved.
Mueller's Russia Probe Based on Hoax, Yet He Continued Investigation: Mueller knew his Russia probe was a hoax but continued, focusing on obstruction charges and expanding scope
Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian collusion in the 2016 U.S. election was based on a hoax, and Mueller himself knew this fact months after he began his probe. Instead of informing the public or ending the investigation, Mueller continued his work and even expanded its scope to include charges of obstruction of justice against the President. This new focus allowed Mueller to pursue investigations into individuals like Paul Manafort and Michael Cohen, providing some justification for the continued investigation despite the lack of evidence of collusion. The controversy surrounding Mueller's actions adds to the overall drama and infuriates those who believe the investigation was a waste of resources. It is now clear that Mueller knew the investigation was a hoax earlier than previously reported, but chose to proceed anyway.
Mueller team knew dossier was potentially false since Aug 2016: Despite knowing dossier was likely a hoax, Mueller pursued Trump investigation for over 675 days, raising questions about his motivations.
Key members of Robert Mueller's investigation team, including his lead investigator Andrew Weissmann, were aware of the political origins and potential falsity of the anti-Trump dossier as early as August 2016. Yet, Mueller continued his investigation into President Trump for over 675 days, despite knowing the dossier was a hoax. This raises questions about why Mueller pursued the investigation so vigorously, potentially to protect the reputations of his colleagues in the DOJ, FBI, and the DC swamp. The new information uncovered in the second book "Spygate" promises to provide explosive details about this situation.
FBI's Trump Probe Originated from the Steele Dossier: The FBI's investigation into Trump's campaign was heavily influenced by the Steele dossier, and the case against Trump would not have existed without it.
The use of the term "brothers" in connection to groups or individuals can make situations seem less serious or like a conspiracy. The example given was the "Stooky Brothers" from the movie "White Men Can't Jump." Moving on to more serious matters, another key takeaway is that the FBI's investigation into Trump's campaign was heavily influenced by the Steele dossier. John Brennan, who promoted the dossier, has since tried to distance himself from it. It is now clear that Mueller knew about the dossier's origins as early as May 2017, and the case against Trump would not have existed without it. Mueller's deputy was briefed on the dossier in 2016. When the information in the dossier was set to be made public, Mueller changed the focus of the investigation to the people in the dossier and the obstruction allegations, rather than the dossier itself. Bruce Ohr, the number four official in the Department of Justice, testified that the former head of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) had told someone that Trump had been compromised by the Russians over a hat and a ballot. The importance of this revelation is that it shows the FBI's knowledge of the dossier's origins and their decision to open an investigation based on it.
FBI's Trump-Russia investigation based on debunked Steele dossier: The FBI's Trump-Russia investigation, named Crossfire Hurricane, was initiated based on the debunked Steele dossier. This was revealed when it was discovered that Bruce Orr met with FBI officials the same day he received the dossier, and the investigation was opened the next day.
The FBI's opening of the Trump-Russia investigation in July 2016, named Crossfire Hurricane, was based on information from the debunked Steele dossier. This is evident from the fact that Bruce Orr, who received this information from Christopher Steele on July 30, 2016, met with FBI officials Andy McCabe and Lisa Page the same day, and the investigation was opened the next day. Additionally, the FBI had already been aware of some of the allegations in the dossier before this meeting. The speaker argues that the FBI's actions were driven by a need to save their reputation after it was revealed that the dossier was the initial basis for the investigation, which they now claim started with a tip from George Papadopoulos about Russian interference in the election. The speaker also suggests that John Brennan, who had previously claimed not to be involved with the dossier, may have lied about this.
FBI used Papadopoulos arrest to bolster reputation: The FBI's handling of the Russia investigation is questionable, and the arrest of Papadopoulos may have been a strategic move to save face
The Mueller investigation's arrest of George Papadopoulos was likely used as a means to bolster the reputation of FBI officials involved in the Russia probe. According to Dan Bongino, the FBI had already met with Bruce Ohr about the Steele dossier before opening the case, but they claimed they didn't start the investigation based on the dossier. However, their evidence regarding the Papadopoulos meeting is disputed. Bongino likened the situation to a car with failing tires, smoking rims, and running out of gas, eventually forcing those involved to admit they were the "bad guys" all along. He encourages listeners to read his book "Exonerated" for more information on the topic and to subscribe to his YouTube channel. Overall, the discussion suggests that the FBI's handling of the Russia investigation has been questionable, and the arrest of Papadopoulos may have been a strategic move to save face.
