New CIA Study Documents How Obama’s Team Created the Russiagate Lies

4 July 2025, by Eric Zuesse. (All of my recent articles can be seen here.)

A CIA study was published on July 2nd about the Obama Administration’s accusations that in 2016 Donald Trump’s Presidential campaign had colluded with the Russian Government to swing the 2016 U.S. Presidential election toward a Trump victory, and it reported and presented conclusive evidences that this “Russiagate” narrative had been an Obama Administration hoax, and that its principals (co-authors) were the then-CIA Director John Brennan, the then FBI Director James Comey, and the then Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, the three persons who totally excluded, from their falsely (fraudulently) alleged 2016 U.S. ‘Intelligence Community’ study and report  (“INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY ASSESSMENT: Assessing Russian Activities and Intentions in Recent US Elections”) on the matter, any participation by the Defense Intelligence Agency, the National Security Agency, the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, the National Reconnaissance Office, the intelligence elements of the five DoD services; the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, and Space Force, the Department of State’s Bureau of Intelligence and Research, and the other five U.S. intelligence agencies of the 18-member U.S. Intelligence Community. These three intelligence chiefs — CIA, FBI, and DNI — produced that fake ‘Intelligence Community Assessment’, by including in it ‘evidences’ (such as the infamous “Steele dossier”) and by excluding from it the numerous solid and irrefutaby authentic evidences.

This new analysis, by the current CIA team that was headed by the Trump-appointed CIA Director John Ratcliffe, had been completed in May this year but had not been reported to the public until Rupert Murdoch’s New York Post did so on July 2nd, in a superb exclusive report by Miranda Devine, which included in the online version (which isn’t paywalled) the actual Ratcliffe-headed study. This CIA study is absolutely devastating against Obama — just as the New York Post’s earlier and likewise exclusive and extensively documented online report about the Biden family’s international bribery-and-influence-peddling ring (and Hunter Biden’s laptop) had been, which was further documented by Republican hearings in the House and Senate. (The Biden Administration prosecuted Hunter Biden on illegal firearms-possession and tax-evasion but not on the bribery-conspiracy, which would have implicated his father, who then pardoned Hunter in order to prevent any possible future prosecution of himself.)

Devine’s July 2nd news-report was titled “Obama’s Trump-Russia collusion report was corrupt from start: CIA review”.

On 7 August 2020, I had already headlined “‘Russiagate’ Hoax Unravels, but Their Anti-Russia Sanctions Don’t.” and presented a comprehensive news-report on the demonstrable falsity, even at that time, of the Obama Administration’s allegations against both Trump and Russia’s Government.

As I had made clear there, not only was the Obama-Administration’s “Russiagate” accusation against Trump fraudulent, but ALSO their allegation against Russia was fraudulent. This fact — that the accusations against Russia were likewise fraudulent —was hidden, not reported, by Rupert Murdoch’s New York Post, and by the Republican congressional investigations into Russiagate — they were ONLY to exonerate Trump. (Consequently, those Republican propaganda-operations — the N.Y. Post and the Republican congressional investigations — IGNORED the most-incriminating evidences against the Biden-family influence-peddling ring, which concerned Biden’s forcing Ukraine to fire the actually HONEST Ukrainian investigator into Hunter Biden’s influence-peddling to protect Ukraine’s Burisma gas corporation, whose owner had placed Hunter onto his board in order to get that investigator fired — as the then-V.P. Joe Biden subsequently did force Ukraine’s government to do. That corruptness was ignored, and Republicans focused instead on the Bidens and China, etc., not on their corruptness with an ‘ally’ such as Ukraine.)

In fact, even earlier, already on 16 July 2017, I had headlined “Russiagate Exposed: It’s a Fraud” and reported:

It has now been incontrovertibly proven that the time-stamps and other data in the Democratic National Committee (DNC) files that were leaked to Wikileaks are consistent with those files having been leaked by a person who was inside the DNC and not by an external hacker as has been presumed by all of the ‘news’-reports that this was a ‘hack’ …

So, even that early, it was already clear, incontrovertible, that the ‘Russiagate’ narrative was based upon lies by the Obama Administration, initially to weaken the Trump camaign, but afterwards to smear both Trump and Putin so as to make politically virtually impossible for Trump as President to do anyting to reduce American aggression against Russia.

Furthermore, the Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russiagate investigation found nothing to prosecute against Trump on conspiracy with Russia, but falsely alleged that Russia’s Government had tried to throw the 2016 U.S. Presidential election to Trump, and Mueller also alleged that Trump might have obstructed justice (and Mueller indicated that he hoped that if Biden would win in 2020, then President Biden would prosecute Trump for that, which Biden declined to do). Mueller’s entire career in the U.S. Government had been devoted to framing innocents in order to protect the guilty.

In domestic U.S. politics, America’s Government and media presented these matters as being Democrats versus Republicans; but, in international affairs, America’s media bipartisanly presented these matters to the public as being America versus Russia, so as to boost sales of U.S.-made weapons etc. (to ‘defend America and other democracies against Russia’). It’s all a sales-promotion campaign for those weapons-makers, regardless which of the two billionaires-controlled Parties happens to be in power at the time. They constantly lie to impose their (billionaires’) dictatorship.

On June 6th, I proposed what I believe is the only possible way that such corrupt control (by billionaires) of an alleged democracy can be prevented. Thus far, nobody takes (nor even considers) it seriously. I welcome feedback on my proposal, and can be contacted about it here.

Investigative historian Eric Zuesse’s latest book, AMERICA’S EMPIRE OF EVIL: Hitler’s Posthumous Victory, and Why the Social Sciences Need to Change, is about how America took over the world after World War II in order to enslave it to U.S.-and-allied billionaires. Their cartels extract the world’s wealth by control of not only their ‘news’ media but the social ‘sciences’ — duping the public.
