Instead, they emphasized \u2063unreliable information to\u200d falsely portray Russia&#8217;s\u200b support \u2064for Trump. A source close to the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) investigation into the Trump-Russia \u2063scandal confirmed this manipulation, stating, &#8220;They made it look like \u2063Putin\u200b supported Trump.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The U.S. government said in January \u20632017 that Russia favored Trump as president.

The \u200bCIA had information\u200c indicating that\u2062 Russia \u2064viewed Trump as\u200c &#8220;unreliable,&#8221; &#8220;mercurial,&#8221;\u2064 and &#8220;not steady,&#8221; while considering Clinton as &#8220;manageable and reflecting continuity.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Upon further investigation, the HPSCI discovered contradictory information regarding Brennan&#8217;s claims and the\u2064 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) that Russia favored Trump. A source involved in the investigation stated, &#8220;When we dug \u2064further to\u200b look \u2064at the data available to \u2062them \u200bthat they didn&#8217;t \u2064use, and it overwhelmingly contradicted\u2063 their conclusions that Russia supported \u2063Trump.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">According\u200b to sources, \u2063Brennan and \u2062other intelligence agents went \u2062as far as changing the categorization of sources \u2063to embellish their Trump-Russia report, falsely portraying unreliable sources as reliable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-describedby=\"sk-tooltip-9096\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp&#038;source=gmail&#038;ust=1700760801843000&#038;usg=AOvVaw2PQrVSrJfhxNb4LcARqniG\">CLICK HERE TO GET \u2063THE DAILYWIRE+ APP<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">During an interview with Fox\u2062 News, Shellenberger \u2064revealed the existence of a 50-page report exposing the CIA&#8217;s operation, which is\u200b currently being concealed at their \u2062headquarters. He emphasized that this controversy highlights two major \u200cintelligence scandals. The first involved Brennan orchestrating the manipulation of \u2062foreign allies\u2063 to entrap Trump associates, creating a pretext for the FBI\u2062 investigation into alleged\u200b collusion with Russia, which has since been debunked. The second \u2062scandal occurred \u2064when \u200bBrennan oversaw a\u2064 phony \u200bintelligence assessment that contradicted their own\u200b raw and best intelligence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It is worth noting that former President Trump had planned to declassify\u200d information regarding these efforts \u200cto link his\u200d campaign to Russia before leaving office, \u2064but unfortunately, he was \u200dunable to \u200bdo so before President Joe Biden assumed \u2063office.<\/span><\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> How \u200ddoes the revelation of\u200b the CIA&#8217;s \u200dmanipulation\u200c of intelligence information call into \u2064question the legitimacy and credibility\u200c of the \u200bTrump-Russia investigation<\/h2>\n<p><span>  Y.&#8221;\u200d This information\u200b was supported by \u2064multiple \u2062intelligence agencies, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) \u200dand the National Security Agency\u2064 (NSA). Yet, the\u200c CIA selectively \u200bignored this evidence to create a false narrative, which ultimately influenced\u200c the public perception of the \u200delection.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The \u200cmanipulation \u2062of intelligence raises \u2064serious questions about\u200d the integrity\u2064 of the CIA and its role in shaping democratic processes. The agency&#8217;s supposed commitment to\u200c providing accurate and unbiased intelligence is essential for the functioning of a democratic society. However, the recent revelation\u2063 suggests \u200cthat the CIA was willing to manipulate information\u200d for its own \u2063agenda, undermining \u2063the very\u2063 principles it is supposed to uphold.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The timing of this \u200crevelation is significant, as \u200dit comes several\u2062 years after the 2016 presidential election. \u200bIts\u2063 impact \u2063on\u2062 the public discourse and the democratic\u2062 system cannot be ignored.

Archdiocese Accidentally Lets Slip Its Ignoring Requests About Pro-Abortion Pelosi\">revelation raises questions<\/a> about\u2063 the \u2064legitimacy of the Trump-Russia investigation. If \u200bthe CIA manipulated intelligence information to \u200ccreate a false\u200c impression of Russian support for Trump, then the \u200centire\u2064 investigation could be called into question. The\u2063 credibility\u200d of the findings, as well as the motives behind the investigation, must be scrutinized \u200bin light of this new \u200dinformation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The implications of this manipulation extend beyond\u2063 the 2016 election. It raises concerns about the\u200d integrity of future elections and the ability of intelligence agencies to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/congressional-hearing-sounds-the-alarm-on-chinese-communist-influence-in-k-12-classrooms\/\" title=\"Congressional hearing raises concerns about Chinese Communist influence in K-12 classrooms.\">influence \u200bpublic opinion<\/a>.\u2064 The trust placed in these\u2063 agencies to provide accurate\u2063 and unbiased information is crucial, and any breach of \u200bthat trust erodes the foundation of democracy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In response to\u200d this revelation, there should be \u200can independent investigation into the CIA&#8217;s manipulation of intelligence. The \u2062American people deserve to know the truth about \u2063the extent of \u2062this manipulation and the motives behind it. Transparency \u200cand accountability are\u200c necessary\u2063 to restore faith in \u200bthe intelligence community \u200band to ensure the integrity \u200dof future elections.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Additionally, there\u2063 should \u2064be a \u2062comprehensive review of the processes and \u200bprotocols within the CIA to prevent such manipulation from happening\u2062 again. Safeguards must be put \u2064in place to ensure that intelligence information\u200d is not selectively used or\u200c distorted\u200c to serve\u200b political agendas. The independence and\u2062 non-partisanship of intelligence agencies are vital for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/pete-buttigieg-regularly-consults-with-dark-money-funded-green-groups\/\" title=\"Pete Buttigieg Regularly Consults With Dark Money-Funded Green Groups\">upholding democratic values<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The manipulation of intelligence by the \u2063CIA to influence the 2016 presidential election is a grave\u200d betrayal of the trust placed\u2064 in the\u2064 agency. The consequences of \u2062such actions are far-reaching, affecting not only the election but also the public perception\u200b of democracy itself. \u2063It is crucial that this issue is addressed \u200ctransparently and comprehensively to restore faith \u2064in the integrity of \u200bour democratic processes.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A recent report reveals that the CIA, under the leadership of John Brennan, manipulated intelligence data to falsely suggest that Russia favored Donald Trump in the 2016 election.
