He knew that he was basically cornered with that question, and he couldn't answer that question, and he just lost his mind.
Well, it's not really a matter of what they reveal.
It's what they demonstrate.
These are like a level of a receipt of a factual event that is...
I don't think I've ever seen anything like this in American history where we have the personal communications between the four senior intelligence leaders for the NSA, the CIA, the FBI and the DNI, all essentially admitting to intelligence.
writing intelligence at the highest level that was deliberately meant to influence or impact the future president the incoming president's presidency because that's really what you know one of the things that i try and make clear to people is is that this wasn't about trump this was actually about an influence operation or in the intelligence community we'd call it an offensive counterintelligence operation
that they perpetrated against the American people.
So they did this to everyone.
Democrats and Republicans, they did this to everyone to essentially provide an intelligence community assessment that said, in fact, Putin favored Trump and that Putin had ordered this, this influence operation to help Trump get elected.
Well, that was not demonstrated in any of the intelligence reporting.
And they basically fabricated it from whole cloth.
Then they put it in the intelligence community assessment, which was then given to Congress, which they knew then would leak to the public.
And then they also leaked it to the media themselves through the FBI leaks to, again, leak out to the American people that, you know, Trump was supposedly working, you know, along with the Russians were actually supporting him, which was totally not the case.
Yeah.
Well, and I think also it played a huge part in the in his second election in the 2020 election, because all of that was still out there.
And the Biden administration, you know, they had never been able to get this information out.
So ultimately, it was that's why I make very clear that this was not about Trump.
Trump personally, this was about an influence operation against the American people to damage his presidency, make him ineffective as a president, ultimately because they just hated him.
And then at the same time, to influence the American people into voting against him or not supporting him.
And we saw that in the midterms.
