And it was the Obama administration, not the Russians, that went to the greatest lengths to throw the election.Īll the media’s propaganda about Steele as an apolitical figure has been blown to pieces.

It was Hillary, not Trump, who made foreign interference in the election possible. In other words, Hillary, in hiring a foreigner - former British spy Christopher Steele – to smear her opponent, purchased Russian disinformation. These footnotes confirm that there was a direct Russian disinformation campaign in 2016, and there were ties between Russian intelligence and a presidential campaign - the Clinton campaign, not Trump’s. It’s ironic that the Russian collusion narrative was fatally flawed because of Russian disinformation. Carter Page’s civil liberties wouldn’t have been shredded, taxpayer dollars wouldn’t have been wasted, the country wouldn’t be as divided and the FBI’s reputation wouldn’t be in shambles. Had FBI leadership heeded the numerous warnings of Russian disinformation, paid attention to the glaring contradictions in the pool of evidence and followed long-standing procedures to ensure accuracy, everyone would have been better off. Instead, it took several years and millions in taxpayer dollars to conclude that the allegations were baseless. The mounting evidence undercutting this narrative should have stopped the investigation early in its tracks. The FBI’s blind pursuit of the investigation, despite exculpatory and contradictory information, only legitimized the narrative. For years, the public was fed a healthy diet of leaks, innuendo and false information to imply that President Trump and his campaign were part of a Russian conspiracy to spread disinformation.
