Treason, Traitor, and Tyranny - The Russian Collusion Conspiracy
Treason, Traitor, and Tyranny
The Russian Collusion Conspiracy
There is an awful lot to digest from the recent releases of now unclassified documents on the attempted coup and subversion of the Trump administration in 2016. The releases set the stage for the Attorney General Pam Bondi to establish a Grand Jury to hear evidence that will likely result in multiple indictments – and hopefully multiple convictions. While I will address the three major sets of information declassified and released by the DNI, Senate Judiciary, and House Intelligence Committees, I will ask you to take a step back to understand the broader picture taking place.
Declassified Documents:
The release of previously classified documents only validated what we knew – that the Russian Collusion story was a lie, a hit piece by Hillary, and that multiple national security elements and members of Congress participated in a broad conspiracy and coup.
The releases started with DNI Tulsi Gabbard, providing insights into the https://www.odni.gov/index.php/newsroom/press-releases/press-releases-2025 efforts of the Obama administration, Intelligence Community (IC) leaders at the Director of National Intelligence (DNI), Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), along with members of the Department of Justice (DOJ) to subvert and conduct a coup against President Trump. Her press release on the documents stated the declassified material.
revealed overwhelming evidence that demonstrates how, after President Trump won the 2016 election against Hillary Clinton, President Obama and his national security cabinet members manufactured and politicized intelligence to lay the groundwork for what was essentially a years-long coup against President Trump.
Subsequently, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley’s office released a declassified Appendix to Durham Report that detailed the conspiracy https://www.grassley.senate.gov/download/declassified-durham-annex-released-by-chairman-grassley. His press release stated.
The Durham annex contains previously classified information exposing a reported Clinton campaign plan to falsely tie President Donald Trump to Russia.
And then Chairman Rick Crawford, of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI), released a declassified report on how the DNI, CIA, and FBI and others conspired in creating a false Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) https://intelligence.house.gov/uploadedfiles/declassified-hpsci-report-manufactured-russia-hoax-july2025_plus_dear_reader.pdf. His press release stated.
This report is the final nail in the coffin of the Russia hoax, which has perpetrated the greatest political fraud on the American people for over 8 years and undermined President Trump’s first term in office. This HPSCI staff report, for the first time, exposes in-depth details on how the Intelligence Community manufactured the Russia collusion hoax…The Russia hoax will go down as one of the most troublesome events in U.S. history. A President of the United States was falsely accused, and a nation had to endure lies fabricated by rogue personnel within their own Intelligence Community.
The suggested conspiracy laid out in the documents highlighted efforts:
We must also reiterate that these materials led to the Mueller investigation; the Durham Investigation; illegal spying on the Trump campaign (leading to one felony conviction and removal of over two-dozen FBI senior executives for corruption); two Stalinist like impeachments by Democrats in Congress; the destruction of multiple people’s lives; FBI gestapo raids on the homes of innocents; a fraudulent 2020 election and staged 6 Jan riot advancing a false narrative by the same coup plotters; conducting an illegal raid on Trump’s home; and emboldening two assassination attempts of President Trump.
Concurrently, to protect their secrets from ever being exposed, those involved in this deep state coup conspiracy also undertook over eighty parallel legal lawsuits and criminal convictions to arrest and try to jail President Trump prior to the 2024 election. In just the first two hundred days of his second administration, we have seen a judicial insurrection involving over 320 plus federal lawsuits.
The saving grace here was the extensive overreach and subversion by Democrats in Congress, Governors, and Mayors along with President Biden in driving theChina Flu lockdowns. During this period, the radical left’s true intentions to subvert our Constitution, subjugate the people, indoctrinate our youth, cancel and censor free speech, advance an illegal invasion of twenty million, further weaponize and politicize ournational security apparatus to destroy any oppositionwas exposed. Additionally, the Manchurian President Biden, who with his family and administration, sold out America to destroy US credibility worldwide while purposefully advancing the positions of China, Russia, and Iran. The results included the invasion of Ukraine, the 7 Oct Hamas genocide against Israel, and billions of dollars being funneled to friendly and democrat run non-governmental organizations, or NGOs.
A Cognitive War
Now, reread the last four paragraphs. They summarize a truly astounding set of actions that have taken place. But what you must understand is these were planned, coordinated, and concurrent actions taken by a radical left cabal. Their actions exemplify a decades long effort to obtain, sustain, and retain absolute power. What you have witnessed in the last decade is an actual war that has been waged for the last several decades that culminated with the radical left seizing a majority of power, abusing that power, and then losing that power after being exposed. But what you must also realize is that this is an ongoing Cognitive War, a war that will not cease, as you have witnessed the radical left’s rage, resistance, and riots are only increasing.
Less the reelection of President Trump in the 2024 – we would now be living in a tyranny, a dictatorship,led by traitors. The lies are now exposed, many of their leaders will face prison. If tried and found guilty of treason, the ultimate penalty, the death penalty, should be liberally applied.
Given the potential accountability, we must expect and prepare for the radical left cabal to advance more false narratives, assaults, riots, and terror. Of course, they’ll use their Orwellian language to justify their actionsunder the auspices of “saving democracy” (meaning,destroying it), “protecting our citizens” (meaning, give amnesty to illegals and voting rights to advance their power), and “saving America from fascism” (meaning – advancing tyranny). Just as we see in their democrat candidate for Mayor of New York, Mamdani is doing. He is projecting his ideology on Trump, driving the false narratives, and leading the sheep using Orwellian tactics so that evil can triumph over good.
We cannot afford to lose sight of the broader perspective of this Cognitive War! Our myopic view will drive us to focus on each part, report, press release, indictment separately – nullifying our awareness of the unprecedented conspiracy taking place. A broader perspective enables us to understand how this Cognitive War is been waged, that it is the true existential threat to our Republic, and is a greater threat than China, Russia, and Iran combined.
The radical left conspirators and cabal are still using the levers of power at the state and federal level to seize back power. They continue to ignore the law,abuse the justice system, and weaponize our government against us. This is exemplified by democrat members of Congress attacking sitting cabinet members, assaulting law enforcement officers, and further emboldening potential assassins.
We barely missed becoming the next Venezuela. The actions required to stop the coup, treason, judicial insurrection, and fraud are extensive. We have yet to expose, indict, or arrest all of the coup plotters and insurrectionists. There are many more. I wouldsuggest we must also look at the actions, or lack thereof, by former FBI Director Chris Wray and Attorney General (AG) Bill Barr, acting AG Rob Rosenstein, Senators Schiff and Warner, and members of Congress as related to the false dossier, two impeachments, fraudulent 2020 election, and 6 Jan fraudulent commission, etc.
Given the 2026 midterms, Trump has as little as thirteen months to hold accountable those who aided, abetted, or planned the coup, stop the judicial insurrection, expose the fraudulent election and 6 Jan cover up, etc. That is not much time. If republicans hold onto both houses of Congress, he still has only three years left. This includes undertaking a major overhaul of our national security apparatus, as individual accountability of the traitors, does not fixthe embedded deep state.
The release of declassified documents helps to further expose the conspiracy and coup, but the tactics used to conduct and hide treasonous actions do not end here. Understanding the broader picture of collaboration by the radical left cabal enables us to fight this Cognitive War. It is perpetual, and in simple form, a battle between good and evil. For good to win, we must acknowledge and destroy evil.

Absolutely brilliant synopsis of the Russian Collusion Conspiracy. In addition, comprehensive and extremely well-written book from one with tremendous insight and hand-on experience in this field - (The Cognitive War - why we are loosing and how we can win). It sould be required reading for all undergraduate and graduate courses delaing with Foreign Policy, Foreign Service, and Pnternal Social Policy. In fact, it should also be required reading for all US government employees, Cabinet members, and the Presideny himself as they will gain insurmountable knohwledge and assist greatly in execution of their resposibilities. Bravo to Mr. Haugland for all of his writings and service to the United States!!
