The anti-Trump operation escalated to a coordinated assault involving the highest levels of government, about which we still know nearly nothing. //

First came the long-awaited release of the “Trump-Russia binder,” a trove of intelligence documents that was supposed to have been released on Donald Trump’s last day at the White House in January 2021. The “binder” filled in crucial gaps about the Hillary Clinton campaign’s dirty tricks operation.

Among other things, it detailed how Christopher Steele knowingly lied to the FBI and how the Alfa Bank hoax — one of the most absurd allegations of secret Trump-Putin communications — was laundered through official channels. The binder was provided to The Federalist, which made it publicly available.

Then came an even more stunning release from Sen. Chuck Grassley’s office: an internal FBI report confirming that Nellie Ohr — a Clinton-linked operative and the wife of senior Department of Justice (DOJ) official Bruce Ohr — had lied to Congress. The report also detailed her central role in fusing campaign-generated disinformation with federal law enforcement.

But the real shock wasn’t Ohr’s role. It was the revelation of what might be the FBI’s most corrupt mechanism yet: a black-hole filing system for anything that undermined the Trump-Russia collusion narrative or vindicated Trump and his allies.
