The newly released Durham Report annex has blown the lid off what many have suspected for years: the so-called Trump-Russia collusion narrative was a politically manufactured hoax, and the top intelligence officials involved may finally be facing real accountability.
Durham Annex Unmasks the Intelligence Community’s Political Games
Senator Charles Grassley’s release of the Durham Report annex on July 31, 2025, has forced Americans to confront a reality that many in the media and the Washington establishment desperately tried to hide. The annex lays out with brutal clarity how the Clinton campaign cooked up a plan to falsely link Donald Trump to Russia during the 2016 election, and top officials in the FBI and CIA ran with the narrative despite knowing the evidence was paper thin. The report documents how former CIA Director John Brennan briefed President Obama about the Clinton operation as early as July 2016, and then later pushed to inject the infamous Steele dossier—funded by Clinton allies—into intelligence assessments, overruling objections from career CIA analysts who warned it was uncorroborated garbage. These revelations confirm what Trump supporters have shouted for years: this was a relentless, coordinated smear job, not a legitimate intelligence operation.

He KNOWS he’s been caught.
When asked if he’s “worried,” Brennan said “the DOJ is going to do what they’re going to do.”

The annex further details how the FBI and Clinton campaign lawyers disguised payments for the Steele dossier as legal expenses and how the intelligence community’s top brass, including James Clapper and James Comey, leaned on their agencies to keep the anti-Trump narrative alive. The new evidence shows the agencies had no solid proof of Russian involvement in the DNC email hack, yet they pressed forward, fueling years of division and damaging the legitimacy of the Trump presidency. This wasn’t just incompetence—it was institutionalized political warfare waged from within the government itself.
Jonathan Turley’s Warning: Brennan Still Faces Legal Jeopardy
Constitutional law professor Jonathan Turley, no stranger to calling out government lawlessness, has sounded the alarm: John Brennan is not out of the woods. Turley argues that the new evidence unearthed by the Durham annex shows not only a conspiracy to mislead the public and Congress, but also the very real possibility that Brennan committed perjury in his congressional testimony. If the conspiracy is ongoing, the statute of limitations for perjury may not even have started running yet. Turley’s warnings have sent shockwaves through the intelligence community, with reports that key figures are “lawyering up” in anticipation of further investigations and possible indictments.
Turley and other experts point to glaring contradictions between Brennan’s prior statements under oath and the newly declassified evidence. Brennan claimed he did not push the Steele dossier into official assessments, yet the annex shows he overruled his own analysts to ensure its inclusion. The legal exposure is real, and for once, it appears the political class might not skate away from accountability. Congress is already weighing whether to haul Brennan and his fellow travelers back before oversight committees for further questioning, and the public is demanding answers. The days of intelligence chiefs operating above the law and beyond scrutiny could finally be coming to an end.
Public Trust Erodes as Political Bias in Intelligence Is Laid Bare
The damage from the Trump-Russia hoax and the intelligence community’s role in perpetuating it goes far beyond partisan politics. Americans across the spectrum have seen yet another example of institutions that were supposed to be neutral and professional instead becoming tools for political warfare. The public’s trust in the FBI, CIA, and even Congress has been shredded by years of lies, cover-ups, and bureaucratic stonewalling. The release of the Durham annex has reignited long-simmering demands for transparency, accountability, and serious reform within the intelligence agencies.
Political observers warn that the fallout is only beginning. As new hearings and legal battles loom, expect further revelations about the extent to which intelligence officials ignored their own tradecraft, weaponized unverified information, and colluded with political operatives to sway an election. The American people should not have to accept a two-tiered system where bureaucrats in expensive suits face no consequences for misleading Congress, while ordinary citizens are prosecuted for far less. If there is any hope of restoring faith in our government, real accountability must finally be delivered.
Calls for Reform and the Restoration of Constitutional Checks
The exposure of these abuses has triggered renewed calls for deep structural reform. Many Americans, especially those who have watched years of government overreach and partisan witch hunts, are demanding that Congress impose stricter oversight, enforce transparency, and hold senior officials criminally liable when they lie to lawmakers or the American people. Restoring the constitutional balance and protecting citizens from politically motivated intelligence operations should never be a left or right issue—this is about upholding the rule of law and ensuring government works for the people, not for entrenched political interests.

The Trump administration’s response signals a new era of accountability. The days of endless investigations targeting political opponents while insiders walk free are over. Now, the spotlight is on the architects of the Russia hoax, and the American public is watching closely. For Brennan and others, the reckoning may have finally arrived.
