Investigators spent over 2,000 hours
0:03
looking into how the Russia hoax was
0:05
born, interviewing 20 CIA and FBI
0:08
officials. And it turns out that the
0:11
Obama administration doctorred the
0:13
intelligence to make it look like Putin
0:15
and Trump stole the election. A month
0:18
after Trump beat Hillary, Barack Obama
0:21
wasn't satisfied with his intelligence
0:23
reporting and ordered his CIA director
0:26
to create a new assessment of how Russia
0:28
interfered with the election. This was a
0:31
highly unusual move. John Brennan
0:34
handpicked five CIA analysts to write
0:37
the assessment, and they were siloed.
0:40
None of them knew what the other was
0:41
doing, and only one analyst was in
0:44
charge of drafting this report. There
0:46
was nothing routine about this and it
0:48
was a rush job to publish before Trump
0:51
was sworn in. Nothing was coordinated
0:53
with the other intelligence agencies
0:55
either. Basically, this was home cooking
0:58
for Barack Obama. There were four key
1:01
elements from the assessment that were
1:03
repeated over and over again and form
1:05
the basis of the Russia hoax and the
1:07
Robert Mueller witch hunt. One, that
1:09
Vladimir Putin wanted Donald Trump to
1:12
win. Two, Putin took action to help
1:15
Trump win. Three, the Russians had
1:18
blackmail on Trump. That was the Steel
1:20
Dossier. And four, that the Russians
1:23
tried colluding with the Trump campaign.
1:25
None of any of this was ever true. There
1:29
was no reliable intelligence to support
1:32
any of these allegations. Senior CIA
1:35
officials repeatedly refused to traffic
1:38
in these allegations, but they were
1:40
repeatedly overruled by CIA Director
1:43
Brennan and FBI Director Comey, who
1:46
insisted that they be pushed even
1:48
without verifiable evidence.
1:51
The Obama administration cherrypicked
1:54
the intelligence, lied about their
1:56
sources, misqued sources, didn't
1:59
corroborate their claims, suppressed
2:01
intelligence that ran counter to their
2:03
narratives, and even used anonymous
2:08
Rank and file CIA admitted what they
2:10
were doing violated their own trade
2:12
craft standards. There was a massive
2:15
pressure campaign that came right from
2:17
the top. CIA analysts say they received
2:20
unusual directives from political
2:23
appointees, the CIA director and Obama
2:28
This is how the Russia hoax was born.
2:31
Donald Trump knows uh that the Russians
