So you were actually one of the people that assessed this intelligence community assessment from the side of DOD, as I understand it, that recently we've been hearing about, that Tulsi Gabbard, the Director of National Intelligence, publicized recently.
Yeah, I think it's page 74, 75 of my first book, The Nation Will Follow.
Two days after the election in 2016, I was called up on the NSA phone.
The person said I had to be on the intelligence community assessment that was assembled to finalize the Russia narrative because we were going to prove that Trump was a Russian asset and we were going to delay or block the inauguration of Donald J. Trump for the first term.
I just couldn't believe it.
This is what you were told?
This is what I was told on the phone.
So this was a deep state coup from the beginning that it actually started in early 2016.
We went through the process in November.
The final product came out in the first few days of January 2017.
But bottom line, the supposed top secret review, there was nothing there to show that Russia was trying to manipulate the campaign or the outcome of the election in the favor of Donald J. Trump, that the Trump campaign was somehow colluding with Russia.
There was no evidence of anything.
So when the document, the Intel Community Assessment came back to the Department of Defense, because that's what happens in these reviews, the team members, the document, the final end product goes back to all the departments and agencies for review and finalization and approval.
When it came back, my recommendation was non-concur.
There was no evidence to support any of these assertions.
And I was told, John, stand down.
No, you don't need to complete the staffing.
The secretary, which is Ash Carter, who's dead now, had already signed off because Comey and Brennan were personally hands-on keyboard writing this assessment.
You never have a director of CIA or director of FBI personally writing the Intel community assessment.
That was very brief.
It sounds, you know, even with everything we know today, it sounds kind of nuts.
It was absolutely nuts.
It was absolutely nuts.
And it was some of the most outrageous things I'd ever said or heard in government service, uniformed or civilian.
This was insanity.
The voice on the other end, I know exactly who it was, and I put their name to the Durham investigation.
John, we're going to finalize the Russian narrative, prove Donald J. Trump is a Russian asset, and delay or block the inauguration.
It's never been done before in American history.
This is insane.
But it shows what was going on.
And we were starting in early 2016, we were being fed information and interagency meetings from New York, from the director of counterintelligence, who was Charles McGonagall, who's now in prison, who was being paid by the Russians to spread the rumor inside the U.S. government that Trump was a Russian asset.
I just want to touch on that for one sec since we're talking about it.
It was Russian money that was funding the rumor that the candidate Trump was a Russian asset.
That is as insane as it sounds.
Yes, the Russians were paying the FBI director of counterintelligence to spread the rumor it was the Russians that were interested in Trump, were trying to influence the election, and that there was a form of collusion going on between the Trump campaign and Russia.
