From Adm Rogers interview: over a month AFTER Donald Trump won the 2016 presidential election, Obama wanted an intelligence assessment that Russia interfered.
He gave intelligence agencies just 2 weeks over Christmas to come up with it. Rogers felt his team were put under political pressure.
The body of the Intelligence Community Assessment draft included the Steele dossier as one pager.
At a meeting with Comey and others Rogers in early January he raised it, Comey said information was relevant, so Rogers' compromise was to include it in the appendix

Walter Giardina’s Role in the “Russia Hoax”

Giardina, recently fired by Kash Patel, is a veteran FBI special agent who has been implicated in several key aspects of the Get Trump op, aka the Russia Hoax Conspiracy.

Documentary evidence and whistleblower accounts show Giardina played an active role in advancing politically charged investigations of Donald Trump and his associates.

Involvement with the Steele Dossier
The Steele dossier was funded by Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign and the DNC. Giardina was as an early conduit for this dubious document within the FBI. According to Senate investigators, Special Agent Giardina was “an initial recipient of the Steele Dossier” inside the FBI and even falsely claimed internally that this Clinton-funded “smear sheet” was corroborated as true. The Steele dossier’s claims were obviously false and manufactured by Clinton. Giardina’s "validation" gave the fake Clinton material unwarranted credibility in the FBI’s Trump-Russia probe. Giardina helped promote the Steele dossier’s use in investigations and surveillance. The FBI relied on Steele’s allegations and related media reports in initiating and expanding the Trump- Russia “investigation”-the witch-hunt. Participation in Launching the Trump-Russia Probe (Crossfire Hurricane)

The FBI’s counterintelligence investigation into Trump’s campaign, codenamed Crossfire Hurricane, officially opened in July 2016. Giardina was reportedly “significantly involved” in Crossfire Hurricane from the start, placing him at the heart of the investigation’s origins. Whistleblower evidence indicates he brought a partisan zeal to the effort: Giardina “openly stated his animosity toward President Trump” and even expressed personal motivation to investigate Trump, going so far as to say he’d pursue the case “even if it meant false predication”.

In late summer 2015, a man arrived at Cambridge University to join a summer course in intelligence studies, ran by my professor Chris Andrew.
His name was Alan Kohler and he was an FBI liaison with London. He previously been to Cambridge and gave presentations about FBI counter-intelligence work /1 So it wasn’t Kohler’s first visit to Cambridge but this time he came for a whole summer and joined a course for students-a course he could teach himself. I asked him why, he said he wasn’t interested in working for the FBI anymore, and wanted to pursue an academic career. He asked my advice about how to pursue a PhD, and I explained how. I took his story at face value. Why would a senior person at the FBI lie? /2

Betrayed by the FBI—My Fight for Justice
For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad (Luke 8:17)
On Friday, March 14, 2025, the Chief Law Enforcement Officer of the United States, President Donald Trump, made a historic appearance at the Department of Justice. He told his audience that “the American
people have given us a mandate…and a far-reaching investigation is what they are demanding into the corruption of our system. We will expel the rogue actors and corrupt forces from our government. We
will expose their egregious crimes… and severe misconduct… It's going to be legendary.” In his speech, President Trump demanded “full and complete accountability” from those who perpetrated the
Russia Collusion Hoax.
Just as I have done in this book, President Trump’s newly appointed team at the DOJ and FBI will “expose…the egregious crimes and severe misconduct” of Russiagate. President Trump said that We must be honest about the lies and abuses that have occurred. A
corrupt group of hacks and radicals within the ranks of the American government obliterated the trust and goodwill built up over generations. They weaponized the vast powers of our intelligence and law enforcement agencies to try to thwart the will of the American people. They spied on my campaign, launched one hoax
and disinformation operation after another, broke the law on a colossal scale, persecuted my family, staff, and supporters, raided my home, Mar-a-Lago, and did everything within their power to prevent me from becoming the President of the United States…but I stand before you today to declare that those days are over and they are never going to come back.
President Trump pledged to “restore the scales of justice” and insisted that those responsible for past DOJ “wrongs and abuses” would be held to account. Specifically, this includes former key figures from the
FBI and the Department of Justice—James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok, and others—who spearheaded the 2016 Trump-Russia investigation code-named “Crossfire Hurricane.” This also includes
Democratic Party operatives, campaign officials for Hillary Clinton, and their lawyers who funded the now-discredited Steele dossier.
President Trump recently underscored the importance of firing FBI Director Comey in a speech at the DOJ, stating: It was a great honor for me to fire James Comey, a great, great honor. There was no better day. A year later, they said that actually saved the administration; because a level of corrupt things that we learned
after that turned out to be that they were doing—really bad things. He was a terrible person, did terrible things, and persecuted people, and all in the guise of being an angel. But he wasn’t an angel.
New FBI Director Kash Patel made it clear that "The FBI is entering a new era—one that will be defined by integrity, accountability, and the unwavering pursuit of justice. There will be no cover-ups, no missing documents, and no stone left unturned— and anyone from the prior or current Bureau who undermines this
will be swiftly pursued. If there are gaps, we will find them. If records have been hidden, we will uncover them. And we will bring everything we find to the DOJ to be fully assessed and transparently disseminated to the American people as it should be. Patel has stated that officials who abused their power must be called
out by name, and that Americans deserve full transparency to judge for themselves. This ethos aligns perfectly with President Trump’s insistence that no wrongdoing be hidden from the public.
On March 25, 2025, President Trump signed an executive order for immediate declassification of materials related to the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Crossfire Hurricane Investigation. The President has instructed the Attorney General to make declassified materials available to the public immediately. Vindication But Still No Justice
“It’s frightening. Imagine being spied on by your own government— and that spy then fabricates a bunch of lies about everyone,” said Representative Devin Nunes, then the top Republican on the House Intelligence Committee, after President Trump declassified FBI files in 2021, revealing that the Bureau’s spy Stefan Halper lied about me and General Michael Flynn. “This is evidence that should have come out nearly four years ago,” Nunes continued. “We should have seen what they were doing and how they were running spies into the campaign.”
My experience serves as a warning for the entire nation. As an innocent bystander—a mother, scholar, and historian—I was thrust into the “Spygate” scandal. Stefan Halper, a longtime FBI informant with CIA ties, deliberately and falsely accused me of being a Russian
intelligence agent who ensnared General Michael Flynn, a decorated top U.S. intelligence official. Halper knew his allegations were utterly false. They were manufactured to order, allowing the FBI leadership to
launch an investigation as part of the wider “Clinton Plan” to win the election by smearing Trump.
Yet for years, those false accusations hung over my life and still do. With the willing help of the media pushing Halper’s lies, my career at the University of Cambridge was destroyed, my reputation tarnished, and my personal life disrupted—all because of lies. Worse still, FBI documents show that, from the start, the Bureau knew there was no evidence to substantiate his claims. Yet they did nothing to correct the
record, allowing “current and former intelligence officials” to leak the false narrative to the press and sustain their sham investigation. The FBI paid Halper large amounts of taxpayer money and protected him.
They have never publicly disavowed his story, never investigated him and continued using him even after it became clear that he had blatantly lied. I have yet to receive any justice or compensation.
But this foreword is not just about my vindication; it’s about what my case reveals on a larger scale. My ordeal shows how easily truth can fall victim when powerful figures in government and media conspire to promote a false narrative. This was no isolated error—it was a
symptom of a deep malaise within the FBI and part of a broader conspiracy to mislead the American public. So far, nearly $90 million in public funds have been squandered investigating and reinvestigating
events, without punishing blatant FBI misconduct. No one has been held accountable—yet.
My nightmare is a microcosm of a national scandal. Officials abused their power, leaked lies to the press and an innocent person was collateral damage. The truth was nearly lost amid a politically charged
hoax. My vindication is more than a personal victory; it is the exposure of corruption, and a warning of what happens when law enforcement and political operatives betray the public trust. With righteous indignation, I present the facts of this case—facts that prove beyond any doubt that I was innocent all along, and that those who smeared me knew it from the beginning.

This was declassified by Pres Trump in first term.
Biden's FBI re-classified it for 69 years to 2091, prior to the Mar-o-Lago raid
Pres Trump now declassified the document of Halper's meeting with FBI
Let's compare to see what they tried to hide
L: Classified R: Unclassified
These three pages were completely gone from the FBI Crossfire Hurricane files.
Now that Pres Trump declassified the documents, we can see they show how Halper lied about Gen Flynn (Crossfire Razor) and Carter Page (Crossfire Dragon), used Cambridge University as the base for his operations and organized a hit on Papadopolous (Crossfire Typhoon)

Hello, America!

Let me introduce (or re-introduce) myself.

My name is Svetlana. I was born in Soviet Union and emigrated to England aged 18. I am a British citizen. I am a historian, teacher and author.

I studied at the University of Cambridge, achieved BA (Hons), MA, MPhil and was a PhD candidate specialising in European History when my life was turned upside down.

I am an ordinary person who got dragged into extraordinary events.

In a quiet English university town, a bunch of old intelligence operatives were plotting how to stop Donald Trump, the disruptor/change candidate.

(To be continued.) In 2014, I was a postgraduate student at Cambridge University. I was teaching Modern European History and doing my PhD research.
A distinguished visitor came to Cambridge: Head of Defense Intelligence Agency LTG Michael Flynn. I was invited, together with other students, to attend a talk given by @GenFlynn followed by a formal dinner. The dinner was hosted by former head of British intelligence, the Master of Pembroke college Richard Dearlove. My professor Christopher Andrew told me to attend. He wanted me to show my historical research to Gen Flynn.

Hello, America!
Big week for transparency and accountability for the Russia Hoax.
A recap:
-Dir of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard gave an update. She said Pres Trump takes transparency and accountability very seriously
The Office of the DNI are working diligently to source evidence across the Intelligence Community—the CIA, the NSA, etc.
The goal is to hold those responsible to account for the Russia Hoax. /1 “The more we dig, the more we find”- DNI Gabbard, referring to the Russia Hoax documents.
Despite encountering resistance, her team are finding more and more documents and passing them onto US Attorneys for use in potential prosecutions /2

Top Russia Collusion Hoaxers.
Let’s start with Andy McCabe.
Q: “Do you still believe the President could be a Russian asset?”
“I think it’s possible. That’s why we started our investigation, and I’m really anxious to see where Mueller concludes that” (February 19, 2019, CNN) Top Russia Collusion Hoaxers
Adam Schiff
“There is more than circumstantial evidence now… to suggest that Trump’s campaign may have colluded with Russia’s attempts to disrupt the election.” (March 22, 2017, MSNBC)

History repeating?

May 2018: "Far from the top-secret, covert intelligence asset the FBI has depicted him as, Stefan Halper is a longtime, well-known CIA operative, with ties to the Bush family and a shady past."

theintercept.com/2018/05/19/the… "Despite what Halper actually is, the FBI and its dutiful mouthpieces have spent weeks using the most desperate language to try to hide Halper’s identity and the work he performed as part of the 2016 election. "

History of the 4th (final) FISA on team Trump that might be relevant to the current news.
The warrant application was made in June 2017, six months into Trump presidency, and lasted until Sept'17.
It was signed by Rosenstein/McCabe and approved by judge.
It lacked probable cause 2/ When the fourth FISA (that was found to lack probable cause) was released in 2018 it looked like this:

This paid-for, lying fraud thinks everything is forgotten. It is not.
--On October 11, 2016, Steele met with the State Department and stated that his client, the DNC "is keen" to see the Russia/Trump info (lies) he put together to "come to light" prior to the election. /1

Upcoming today: former FBI General Counsel Jim Baker.
His testimony began late yesterday, describing his relationship with Sussmann
Sussmann used to work for the DOJ, and Baker considered him an expert in cyber security and someone he trusted Baker said that he learned some time in 2016 that Sussmann was representing the DNC on cyber issues.
But Baker did not know Sussmann was representing DNC/Hillary on political issues.
