1) You guys know the background. You know the context. You know the history. You know all the nuances and Machiavellian manipulations that have brought us to this very specific moment.
2) Now, you are President Donald Trump and you are in a conversation with Vladimir Putin; a geopolitical ‘adversary’ whose current status was created by the same intelligence system operators that created your defined ‘enemy’ status within your own country. You and Putin were both targeted by the same intelligence system, the CIA.
3) Vladimir Putin does not view Americans as his enemy. Vladimir Putin views the CIA as his enemy.
4) Perhaps President Trump instructs the CIA to send one public message. A message that: #1) outlines the CIA’s dual targeting of Trump and Putin; #2) that simultaneously proves your control over the CIA silo.
Was this the motive for the timing of the message from CIA Director John Ratcliffe?
President Putin is essentially ambivalent to your targeted position, but defines his adversary as your Central Intelligence Agency.
You want to cut the Gordian knot, change the geopolitical world, create a strategic alignment; but to do that you need Putin to accept you do not view him as the enemy. You also need to prove you have control over the apparatus he views as a threat.
How do you prove you have control over the agency?
5) As a singular datapoint a message to Putin through the CIA proving control sounds crazy.
However, when added to the timeline and overlaying even more events today, its not so crazy.
After the House sent the BBB to the Senate, President Trump went completely quiet about Russia-Ukraine conflict. However, as soon as the Big Beautiful Bill was completed, President Trump notes a call with President Putin.
6) On the other side of the dynamic, Vladimir Putin said this:

7) Let’s look at the timeline with new datapoints to add.
-
President Trump said publicly he had no prior knowledge of the Ukraine drone attack against Russia’s long-range bomber fleet.
*President Trump then held a phone call with Vladimir Putin to affirm his lack of forewarning.
*President Trump then holds another phone call with Putin to discuss the Iran nuclear issues.
*President Trump then publicly says at the G7 in Canada, it was a big mistake to take Russia out of the G8; further saying -repeatedly- that sanctions hurt both sides, and there is a cost to sanctions.
*President Trump then bombs the Iranian nuclear facilities; and two days later Putin says there is no doubt in his mind that President Trump is committed to peace.
*The U.S. then delays sending additional patriot missiles to Ukraine.
*Yesterday the U.S. says the 2016 predicate for removing Russian officials from the USA was based on fraud within the intelligence community, per CIA Director John Ratcliffe.
*Today, after the BBB bill exits the Senate and is through the rules committee in the House – looking like a certain vote to approve; and after the CIA public statement outlining the false case against Russian diplomats, President Trump holds another phone call with Vladimir Putin.
If the CIA announcement was the ‘one ping‘ message to Putin proving control, it would make sense Putin and Trump would speak immediately thereafter.
This timeline does not appear to be coincidental.

The CIA’s self-review of its 2016 Intelligence Community Assessment on Russian Election Interference falls FAR SHORT of the full truth. It is abysmal CIA would put out a memo with half-truths, inaccuracies, and blatant omissions about the full extent of the Russia hoax and the deep state’s role. Even worse, they released this report while holding the Intel Committee’s report on the same issue hostage for 7 years.
Thanks to the swift response and intervention from
@POTUS and the @WhiteHouse after receiving my letter, our investigative document on the Russia hoax has been handed over by the CIA and is back in the Committee’s custody.
When I became Chair of @HouseIntel, I swore we would address analytic integrity and start holding those who refuse to do the right thing accountable. I refuse to let this Committee become part of the problem that envelopes parts of the IC, including senior leadership who seek to thwart the President’s agenda.

Ratcliffe CIA review on Russia and 2016 a ‘whitewash’ & ‘protects deep state,’ GOP intel chair says

The GOP House Intelligence Committee Chairman is critiquing the Trump CIA director's review of the Intelligence Community's assessment on Russian meddling in the 2016 election. And the CIA is pushing back.
The Republican chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence has sent a letter directly to President Donald Trump telling him that CIA Director John Ratcliffe’s recent memo – which offered some critiques of the U.S. intelligence community’s assessment of Russian meddling in the 2016 election – was a “whitewash” that “protects the deep state,” Just the News learned Thursday.
Ratcliffe on Wednesday morning released a “lessons learned” review of the December 2016 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) on Russian influence in the November 2016 election, including critiquing the “high confidence” assessment by the FBI and the CIA that Russian leader Vladimir Putin had “aspired” to help Trump win the race against Democratic presidential nominee former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
But the CIA’s review – put together by the CIA's Directorate of Analysis (DA) at Ratcliffe’s direction – also stated that the review’s findings “should not be interpreted as indicative of broader systemic problems in the IC's analytic processes or standards.”
Rep. Rick Crawford, chairman of the House Intelligence panel, took his concerns with the review’s conclusions directly to Trump in a letter Wednesday evening that contained rare but stark criticisms of the Republican CIA director by the Republican intelligence panel chairman.
“While I am pleased to see CIA take the first step of acknowledging the political abuse and tradecraft problems associated with the 2016 ICA, I am disappointed that the Agency was permitted to whitewash the full extent of their problems,” Crawford wrote to Trump, adding that “I write to report to you that this review fails to disclose critical information, offers misleading judgements, and protects the deep state.”
Crawford sent a copy of his letter to Ratcliffe, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, and Secretary of State and National Security Adviser Marco Rubio.
A spokesperson for the CIA told Just the News that Ratcliffe had exposed "the gross political bias behind the 2016 Election ICA" and that he would continue to push for transparency and accountability.
CIA’s “self-review … falls short of the full truth”
Ratcliffe’s review criticized then-CIA Director John Brennan for allegedly joining since-fired FBI Director James Comey in pushing to include British ex-spy Christopher Steele’s baseless anti-Trump dossier in the ICA and concluded that “the decision by agency heads to include the Steele Dossier in the ICA ran counter to fundamental tradecraft principles and ultimately undermined the credibility of a key judgment.”
“The procedural anomalies that characterized the ICA’s development had a direct impact on the tradecraft applied to its most contentious finding. With analysts operating under severe time constraints, limited information sharing, and heightened senior-level scrutiny, several aspects of tradecraft rigor were compromised—particularly in supporting the judgment that Putin ‘aspired’ to help Trump win,” the lessons learned report from the CIA found.
