There's Another Brutal Development on the Steele Dossier...and It Involves a Former Top Trump Official:
The Steele Dossier continues to be gashed, as new documents reveal it was weaponized for a sinister plot reportedly hatched by Barack Obama. We knew the dossier was unverifiable when it was published in its entirety by Buzzfeed eons ago. It was later revealed to be a Clinton campaign-funded opposition research project. We know it was included in the 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment, the report ordered by Obama, where it was forcibly included despite stringent objections from senior analysts, because it was of questionable value. Barack ordered the new ICA because the initial assessment was that Moscow’s reported election interference had no impact on the 2016 race. The report weaponized knowingly shoddy intelligence to be used against a duly elected president. That’s a crime.
Former CIA John Brennan might be charged over this fiasco, but now a former top Trump official’s name has entered the chat—and that would be John Bolton. Why? Well, he got a memo from Brennan and never briefed Trump on it because he believed Brennan’s intelligence work.

The John Bolton Connection to the Steele Dossier:
The Steele Dossier saga isn’t over—not even close. If anything, its rot is more obvious than ever, with each new revelation pointing directly to the highest levels of the Obama administration and even reaching into the early days of the Trump White House.
What we now know is already damning: the phony Steele Dossier wasn’t just opposition research—it was weaponized disinformation, deliberately shoved into the 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment under orders from Barack Obama himself. Senior analysts warned it was unverified and unreliable, but those concerns were bulldozed in the name of politics.
Obama ordered the revised ICA not because Russia flipped the election, but because the original findings made it clear they hadn’t. That truth was politically inconvenient. So instead of accepting it, they rewrote reality, stuffing baseless allegations into an official intelligence report and turning it into a blunt instrument to kneecap a duly elected president.
At the very least, John Brennan, the Obama-era CIA director, may soon find himself in legal jeopardy over his role in this scandal.
But this story just took another turn—as it ensnared John Bolton, former national security adviser to President Trump.
In 2018, Bolton received a classified memorandum directly connected to Brennan’s actions. Astonishingly, he chose to bury it, locking it away in a National Security Council safe instead of bringing it to Trump’s attention. His trust in Brennan’s fabricated intelligence prevailed over his duty to the president he served. --->READ MORE HERE
