Gina Haspel, as CIA Station Chief in the UK, allegedly authorized offensive operations tied to Russiagate, which targeted a political opponent. A blocked report holds critical details, potentially exposing deeper corruption. The question remains: why was it concealed? #Russiagate #GinaHaspel #DeepState #CIA #Corruption #NunesReport

the fact that her name came out.
0:02
Well, look, to me, it's always helpful
0:04
when you identify government corruption
0:05
that you identify the actors. And Russia
0:07
Gate, as we all know, was a politically
0:10
funded operation into our intelligence
0:12
and law enforcement communities to go to
0:15
a secret court and lie about a political
0:17
opponent to illegally surveil him. I
0:18
mean, that took us two years to unpack,
0:20
right? That was a big deal. But then you
0:22
got to ask, wait a second, how did that
0:23
happen? And who are the players behind
0:25
it? And I've always said Gina Haspel is
0:27
one of the leading Russia gate
0:29
architects who's remained behind the
0:30
scenes. She would go on to become
0:32
Trump's director of the Central
0:33
Intelligence Agency. But if you rewind
0:35
the clock back, and this is something
0:37
I've told Shelonburg about and many
0:39
others, in 2016 when Russia gate was
0:41
launched in England, Gina Haspel was the
0:45
CIA station chief for England, the
0:48
number one intel officer in the United
0:51
Kingdom. And the reason that's important
0:53
is because for intelligence operations
0:55
to be lawfully conducted overseas in any
0:58
country, England or otherwise, what we
1:00
call the number one office of director
1:02
of national intelligence rep, the DNI
1:05
rep, GINA, in England, has to authorize
1:08
those offensive operations for intel and
1:10
law enforcement. And we now know and we
1:13
know some more details due to the new
1:14
reporting that not only were US FBI and
1:18
IC officials involved in bumping
1:20
operations in England, but possibly
1:21
other intel allies overseas. And none of
1:25
that could have happened without Gina
1:26
Haspel's authorization. So she's the one
1:28
that helped launch Russia Gate. And
1:30
nobody's questioned her as to why and
1:32
what the legality of that was and the
1:34
extent of which she knew and also more
1:36
importantly the internal memorandums
1:37
that she would have had to have written
1:39
to authorize that conduct. Who's she
1:41
work with? Comey, McCabe, Stro, Paige,
1:44
others, England, America, and why would
1:47
she, the CIA representative in the
1:50
United Kingdom, interfere in a
1:52
presidential election cycle? That's
1:55
something that they're not supposed to
1:56
do. Period. And I would think Americans
1:58
would want to know that. So, and
1:59
remember, and we'll get to the other
2:01
reason why Gina is so important about
2:03
the A report that Devon Nunees and our
2:06
team did on John Brennan's. Gina Haspel
2:10
was the one that blocked its release,
2:12
critical release in the Trump
2:14
administration, um through to the end.
2:16
She's the one that stonewalled it. She's
2:18
the reason it's still in a safe in the
2:19
CIA. I know we'll talk about that was a
2:21
big piece of the new reporting, but
2:23
that's why she's a central figure.
2:25
And how does someone like Gina Haspel
2:27
then end up as a CIA director under
2:29
Trump when, you know, obviously people
2:32
knew that she was involved in this?
2:34
Well, some people just didn't want to
2:36
believe it and others just said it's not
2:37
important because back then people
2:39
thought if you're talking Russia gate,
2:40
you're talking right-wing conspiracy
2:41
neocon theories, but in reality, you're
2:44
talking the biggest corruption scandal
2:46
to plague the US intelligence community,
2:48
law enforcement community against a
2:49
weaponized target of politics in US
2:52
history. And so, also, you know, the
2:54
fact remains that, you know, the the
2:55
establishment class is always going to
2:57
put forward establishment figures. And
2:59
you can't fault Donald Trump in 2016 for
3:01
having no idea how DC operates, you
3:03
know, because he's new to the political
3:05
game. Came in and said, "Oh, I should be
3:06
able to trust people in government. If
3:08
they say that person's good and that
3:10
person's great, they should, especially
3:12
when it comes to national security, kind
3:14
of just be like this, you know, a little
3:16
bit here and there, but pretty much down
3:17
the middle." And so, you know, to me, it
3:21
shows the success of her corruption,
3:24
unfortunately, in the Washington DC
3:25
swamp, that she was able to stretch that
3:27
tenure out to the top levels of
3:29
government and be one of the main
3:31
architects of the corruption we're
3:33
talking about that Taibbe and you and
3:35
Shelonburgger and so many others have
3:36
been reporting on for I guess, shoot,
3:38
now it's six years.
3:40
Yeah, it it's really amazing because you
3:43
released the Nunes report, which you
3:45
were the author of, I assume. Uh you you
3:48
released that in 2018. My gosh, it's
3:50
been it's up to going on six years now
3:54
since that was released. It seems like
3:55
it wasn't that long ago, but here we are
3:58
six years later and we still don't have
4:00
all of the uh facts surrounding this
4:02
case. We still don't have all the
4:04
documents and you know and and it's
4:05
public that while we did the Nunez
4:07
report and the Russia gate report the
4:09
330 page report and we put out the 65
4:13
some depositions we took of all the
4:15
people involved in Russia gate that took
4:16
us two years just to get out. The second
4:18
big piece of information that people are
4:20
suddenly finally focusing on is remember
4:22
in 287
4:24
16 and 17 John Brennan in a matter of
4:27
weeks was ordered by Obama to issue his
4:29
A his intelligence community assessment
4:32
shorthand. What did Russia do if
4:35
anything to interfere in the US
4:37
elections as if you could surmise that
4:38
answer in three weeks but they gave it a
4:40
go and they produced this report which
4:42
was largely false. And what we did on
4:45
the Russia gate team, I'm talking Devon
4:47
Nunes, me and a couple other staffers,
4:49
is think the Nunez memo, what that did
4:51
to the FBI and DOJ and the FISA
4:53
reporting and all that, how we
4:54
deconstructed the corruption there.
4:56
Well, simultaneously we put subject
4:59
matter experts against John Brennan's A
5:02
and we created a classified report akin
5:05
to the Nunes memo um on just the A
5:08
meaning what went into it, who did the
5:10
interviews, what was the intelligence,
5:13
was it relied on falsely, and was there
5:15
political motivation? We answer all
5:16
these questions in a 17-page report.
5:18
Now, we tried to get that report out
5:20
after we did the Russia gate
5:21
investigation and then we tried to get
5:24
it out during the Trump administration
5:26
when Johnny Ratcliffe was DNI and I was
5:28
a deputy and and all that stuff. The
5:29
single most important figure in blocking
5:32
the release of that of that report on
5:35
the A is Gina Haspel and it never got
5:38
out. So, I'm glad that there's new light
5:41
um on that specific reporting. We have
5:44
to clarify some of the things that uh
5:46
has been written about it. But I've
5:47
always wanted its release because it
5:49
speaks volumes to what's now in the
5:51
mainstream media about wait a second,
5:53
how much was the IC involved and was
5:57
there more corruption than we know
5:59
about? And the answer is they were
6:00
involved and yes, there was tons more
6:02
corruption. The problem is I can't tell
6:04
you about it still because this report
6:06
is still classified sitting in a safe at
6:08
CIA headquarters because the deep state
6:10
and the establishment class doesn't want
6:12
you to know that they basically did what
6:15
the FBI and IC did in FISA land. They
6:18
did it for Brennan's ICA.
6:20
So, um, you requested that that report
6:23
should have been released, right? You
6:25
requested that, but that Trump didn't
6:27
demand it. There was no So, so that's
6:29
how they're getting getting away with
6:30
this, the fact that it's still not
6:31
released because what what else could
6:34
you have done to get this released?
6:36
Yeah. I mean, that's the that's what we
6:37
were up against. You know, I I believe
6:39
the president wanted it declassified.
6:41
And unfortunately, people like Gina
6:44
Haspel worked with people like Pat
6:46
Solone and others at Deep Sters at DOJ
6:49
to say, you know, the same thing. They
6:50
always say, "Oh my god, national
6:52
security, people are going to die."
6:53
Blah. Actually, what it always is is
6:55
you're covering up your own corruption.
6:57
And unfortunately, we lost that fight
6:58
because we just ran out of time. If we
7:00
had a little more time, maybe a few more
7:01
months, I think that would have come
7:03
out. But Joe Biden winning was, you
7:06
know, their victory, not just in the
7:08
political landscape, but to bury this.
7:10
So, look, I think if President Trump
7:12
wins, this should be declassified along
7:15
with a whole host of other material. I
7:16
think the American public and reporters
7:19
actually should champion the release of
7:21
this. You know that clown at Washington
7:23
Post, David Ignatius, um actually wrote
7:26
an article congratulating Gina Haspel.
7:30
Remind you, a journalist congratulating
7:32
Gina Haspel on blocking the release of
7:35
government documents. That's what a
7:37
journalist wrote. That should tell you
7:38
everything you need to know about what's
7:40
in this report because I believe people
7:43
leaked it to him and he saw the
7:45
political bend to that reporting and he
7:48
said, "Wait a second. We can't have
