Kash Patel’s tenure as FBI Director is about cleaning up the mess Joe Biden left behind.
When it comes to that mission, Director Patel is messing around,
And Kash Patel made one bold move that will scare the swamp straight.
As American Patriot Daily reports:
President Trump signed an executive order declassifying the remaining Russia collusion hoax documents and making them public.
FBI Director Kash Patel promptly handed over the remaining 700 pages of Russiagate materials to Congress.
Americans could see how the press lied to them to try and frame Trump for collusion.
The Washington Post won a Pulitzer Prize for a May 22, 2017, story headlined “Trump asked intelligence chiefs to push back against FBI collusion probe after Comey revealed its existence.”
In the story, the Post claimed Trump pressured National Security Agency Director Mike Rogers to publicly state there was no evidence of collusion between his campaign and Russia in the 2016 election.
“President Trump urged [Rogers] to publicly deny the existence of any evidence of collusion during the 2016 election,” the Post reported.
The Post quoted an unnamed deep-state official saying that Trump wanted his intelligence chiefs to lie on his behalf.
“The problem wasn’t so much asking them to issue statements, it was asking them to issue false statements about an ongoing investigation,” the Post quoted a former senior intelligence official saying about Trump’s conduct.
But now that Americans can see Admiral Rogers’ declassified interview with the FBI during the Mueller witch hunt, Americans can see that the only falsehood involved was the premise of the Post’s story.
FBI agents read Rogers quotes from the Post’s reporting.
Rogers debunked the story, explaining that the paper got it all wrong.
“Rogers responded that the media characterization was wrong, and the President had asked about the existence of SIGINT [signals intelligence] evidence only,” the FBI notes from Rogers’ interview read.
Rogers told the FBI that the Russia witch hunt hurt his ability to conduct foreign policy.
“President Trump expressed frustration with the ongoing investigation into Russian interference, saying that it made relations with the Russians difficult,” the FBI said Rogers told agents.
Rogers recounted that Trump “disagreed with definitive assertions that the Russians were responsible for the hacks and said it was impossible to tell who was actually responsible for the hacking” and “also said it was making it hard for him to deal with the Russians.”
Trump wanted Rogers to say that the investigation was detrimental to the president’s ability to run foreign affairs.
Rogers said while he was sympathetic to that, he couldn’t say so.
And Rogers said what Trump asked him to say in public revolved around what was ultimately redacted from the notes because it came from another government agency.
“President Trump then asked ADM Rogers if he would say ‘that’ publicly. Rogers interpreted ‘that’ to mean [OGA],” the FBI summary of the Rogers interview stated. “ADM Rogers told President Trump he could not do that, as he did not and could not discuss USPERS [U.S. persons] in unclassified settings. President Trump did not ask him to ‘pushback’ on the investigation itself, but he clearly did not agree with the assessment of Russian involvement. During the call, ADM Rogers said to President Trump, ‘You want me to be truthful, right?’ President Trump never suggested otherwise, but said he wanted to make sure there was no doubt about his involvement.”
The media handed themselves awards for stories that were incorrect.
There was little media skepticism about the Russia collusion claims because everyone in the press so badly wanted to take down President Trump.
And now Americans can see how this hoax didn’t just extend to the deep state and the Democrat Party.
