In a bombshell report that challenges the mainstream narrative, it has been exposed that the US Intelligence Community orchestrated a covert operation to surveil 26 associates of Donald Trump during the 2016 election. These actions fueled the baseless allegations of collusion between Trump’s campaign and Russia, painting a false picture of wrongdoing.
According to an exclusive report [1] published on Michael Shellenberger [2]‘s Public Substack, former CIA Director John Brennan took center stage in this clandestine operation. He identified and presented the targets to the intelligence-sharing partners of the US, known as the “Five Eyes” – a coalition including the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.
FBI started spying on the Trump campaign after foreign governments "by chance" discovered evidence that his advisors were colluding with the Russians, the government says. But now, multiple credible sources tell us that the CIA asked foreign allies to spy on 26 Trump associates. pic.twitter.com/YeJhZBSEVq [3]

This groundbreaking report by independent journalists Shellenberger, Matt Taibbi [5], and Alex Gutentag [6] presents multiple unnamed sources, including individuals closely connected to the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, led by Rep. Mike Turner (R-Ohio).
As per the sources, the 26 associates of President-Trump-turned-targets were subjected to a practice known as “bumping.” In this covert strategy, contacts were manufactured and manipulated to develop relationships with the targets for intelligence collection and misinformation. Shockingly, it was our very own intelligence community and law enforcement agencies that played a role in this egregious violation of privacy and integrity.
The plot thickens, and the intrigue spreads across the Atlantic. Britain’s Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) was reportedly involved, initiating contacts with Trump’s associates as early as March 2016. Sources reveal that these clandestine contacts occurred not only in the UK but also spanned locations, including Australia and even Italy, with the involvement of Mossad and MI6 intelligence operatives.
A spokesperson for GCHQ unequivocally denied the claims that they were “asked to conduct ‘wire tapping'” against the then-president-elect, labeling such allegations as mere ludicrous fabrications.
Trump retweeted this meme on November 28th, 2018.
The media claimed Trump was a fascist dictator looking to weaponize the government to go after political opponents.
It turns out Trump was right, and it was Biden/Obama who weaponized the government to go after Trump.

Amidst these chilling revelations, there are further indications of the existence of a comprehensive repository of intelligence related to this surveillance operation. Referred to as a “10-inch binder,” the whereabouts of this damning evidence remain mysterious. It is speculated that this binder could contain compelling proof of the unlawful activities committed by multiple US intelligence officials, who shamelessly breached laws related to spying and election interference.
The severity of these breaches cannot be overstated, as warrantless surveillance of US persons is explicitly prohibited by US law. It sends shockwaves through the foundations of our republic (not a democracy) [9] and further erodes the very trust we place in our intelligence community.
Adding to this disturbing pattern, former FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith received a token sentence of probation in 2021 after confessing to falsifying an email to renew the wiretap against former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page. This wiretap, authorized by the secretive Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, was continuously renewed despite lacking any credible evidence, leaving serious questions about the integrity of the process.

Supporting these allegations of gross misconduct, Special Counsel John Durham’s scrutiny of the FBI investigation into the alleged Trump-Russia collusion unveiled a deeply flawed endeavor with no substantive evidentiary basis. After a painstaking four-year review, Durham unapologetically concluded that the investigation was nothing short of a witch-hunt against a duly elected president.
In response to Durham’s damning findings, the FBI hastily claimed to have implemented “dozens of corrective actions” since its false and politically motivated probe against Trump. It’s concerning that these measures were only put in place after their transgressions were exposed. Their statement falls short of addressing the gravity of their missteps and the potential damage they inflicted on the integrity of our democratic processes.
These revelations illuminate a web of deceit and manipulation designed to silence dissenting voices and suppress the truth. Conservative journalists, including Taibbi and Shellenberger, have previously exposed the Twitter Files, revealing the reckless behavior of the social media platform in its attempts to stifle controversial voices and suppress vital news stories, such as The Post’s reporting on Hunter Biden’s laptop.
As we strive for a nation built on truth, accountability, and the safeguarding of constitutional values, it is incumbent upon every patriot to rally against the suppression of information, defend our rights, and ensure that those responsible for these egregious acts are held accountable. Our republic (not a democracy) [9] demands nothing less.
