**Video transcript** (4:21), transcribed automatically, so names and numbers may be wrong. Speakers aren't identified, so a voice in it may not be his:

> Brand new details about how Obama's CIA targeted Trump and started the entire Russia hoax. For years, we were told that tips from an Australian diplomat tipped off the FBI after a random conversation with Papadopoulos, a no-name 20-something. But according to new reporting by Michael Schellenberger and Matt Taibbi, the whole thing was a CIA setup. Former CIA director John Brennan identified 26 Trump associates to be targeted by the Five Eyes Intelligence Alliance. And then those interactions were the targets and were targeted by the FBI as suspicious. And that's how the FBI launched the Russia collusion hoax. The details of this entire operation have been stored in a top secret binder in a secret room in Washington. Trump ordered the whole thing declassified. And now the rumor is that the binder might be missing. Go to me now, one of the reporters who broke the story, Michael Schellenberger. Michael, explain how this all started with the CIA picking these 26 Trump people. Yeah, good to be with you, Jesse. Well, obviously, this is an extremely serious story and serious allegation by multiple credible sources that Public and Racket, that's Matt Taibbi's publication, have spoken to. These are people that are close to the house intelligence investigation of how the Russia collusion hoax began. The story, as you mentioned, was that, oh, we were just informed by foreign intelligence about this. Our sources tell us a very different story, which is that this was initiated by the U.S. government. It came from within the U.S. government's intelligence community, including the CIA, that they asked the so-called Five Eyes Nations intelligence agencies. That's the other English-speaking nations, including Britain and Australia, to spy on 26 Trump associates, or at least they had a list of the 26 associates that were identified. This is new information. Some people have theorized about this and speculated about it. We feel very confident that our sources were in a position to know and are very credible in this report. It's obviously a very serious allegation because this is illegal spying and it's illegal election interference. Okay, so you're reporting that the CIA got these allies to bump these 26 Trump associates, create interactions, and then call these interactions suspicious and let the FBI know they were suspicious, and that starts the whole thing. What about this binder that encapsulates this whole thing and no one knows where it is right now or Trump has it? What's that? Well, Jesse, we'll have a piece tomorrow that is specifically about the binder, but as a friend of the show and of yours on this, I'll say that there has been widespread speculation that this binder was the reason or a reason for the FBI raid of Mar-a-Lago, and we'll be discussing that tomorrow. But obviously, if this binder contains what we have been told that it contains, which may include raw intelligence, information showing that the U.S. government, the CIA and the intelligence community of the U.S. government, initiated the Russia collusion hoax, that it did not occur in the way that the official story including the German investigation had portrayed it, then that's extremely serious information, and it may be, if the FBI then went to go get it in order to continue the coverup of this information, that obviously adds an even more dramatic wrinkle to this. Again, we'll have more to say about it tomorrow, but this is a huge, huge story. I mean, I can't, I've been thinking about it in the history of the United States of America. Have we ever had something like this where the intelligence community was weaponized against a political candidate and using our foreign allies to do it? I can't think of a more important or dramatic story. - Yeah, and then going to great lengths by using FBI raids to cover it up. That's just an absolute incredible development. Great reporting to you and to Matt, and we look forward to your report tomorrow. Thank you so much.

# Analysis

_Machine-generated by trump.fm on 2026-09-09T03:11:03.507Z (UTC): a model's reading of this post, not his words. Its psychological terms describe the language, not a clinical assessment of him._

## Post Analysis: ts_115978024465423949 (2026-01-29)

**Nature of post:** No original text. The post is a repost of a Fox News (Jesse Watters Primetime) segment featuring journalist Michael Schellenberger discussing Russiagate-hoax claims: that the CIA under Brennan identified "26 Trump associates" for Five Eyes surveillance, that this seeded the FBI's Russia investigation, and that a "missing binder" of related documents may explain the Mar-a-Lago raid. All propositional content in the transcript belongs to Watters and Schellenberger, not the subject; nothing here is his own assertion.

**Level 1 (Traits):** Not assessable — no first-person text exists to code for trait-linked language. Only the selection act itself is available for inference.

**Level 2 (Characteristic Adaptations):** The selection/amplification behavior is consistent with a persistent agency motive (restoring legitimacy, reversing perceived injustice) and a schema in which institutional actors (CIA, FBI, Obama-era intelligence community) are cast as conspiratorial persecutors. Amplifying this segment functions as narrative-validating behavior rather than spontaneous grievance expression.

**Level 3 (Narrative Identity):** Selecting this clip reinforces a long-standing contamination-then-redemption arc: the 2016-era Russia investigation (contamination of reputation) reframed as an illegitimate plot now being exposed and vindicated (redemption). Contrasting other = CIA/FBI/"deep state." Protagonist role = vindicated victim awaiting exoneration through disclosure.

**Level 4 (Clinical):** Consistent with, not diagnostic of, a persecutory/paranoid-adjacent schema long documented in this subject's public communications regarding Russiagate. No acute narcissistic injury or rage is evident in the act of reposting alone; this reads as maintenance/supply-seeking (reinforcing an in-group grievance narrative) rather than a reactive trigger. Defense mechanisms visible only in the *choice* to amplify: externalization/projection (institutional wrongdoing located entirely in adversaries) and splitting (loyal reporters/allies vs. corrupt agencies).

**Rhetorical techniques (amplified, not authored):** Appeal to institutional distrust, hyperbole ("huge, huge story," "most dramatic... in history"), implication of cover-up (FBI raid reframed as document suppression). These are the broadcast guests' rhetorical choices; the subject's contribution is curation and reach, not wording.

**Danger assessment:** No eliminationist language, dehumanization, or calls to mobilization. Institutional-trust erosion is present but not accompanied by named individual targets or implied violence. Danger level: none.

**Fact-checking:** No claims are attributed to the subject himself in this transcript — all substantive factual assertions (CIA targeting 26 associates, Five Eyes involvement, the "missing binder") are made by Schellenberger/Watters. Per protocol, these are not scored as the subject's own factual claims.

**Authorship attribution:** With no written text, there is no stylometric evidence. Posting time converts to approximately 5:56 AM Eastern (assuming Trump was in the New York/DC area per surrounding period activity), which fits an early-morning television-reaction pattern often associated with authentic same-session engagement, and this post sits within a same-day cluster of reposts suggesting a live scroll-and-share session. However, this evidence only speaks to who selected and queued the clip, not who — if anyone — operated the account in that moment; confidence is capped at low accordingly.

No summary is warranted: this post reflects an established, longstanding grievance narrative rather than a marked deviation or acutely significant clinical event.

## That day

_From trump.fm's machine-generated digest of the day, not his words._

**Fifty-four posts, forty-four of them wordless: a day spent defending Minneapolis through other people's voices, punctuated by three flashes of his own.**

Trump posted 54 times, but almost all of it was other people's work — 44 of those posts contained no words of his own, mostly videos fired off in two rapid bursts, one late the night before and one just before 6 AM. The through-line was Minneapolis: rather than address the immigration raids or the nurse killed by federal agents, he circulated clip after clip arguing the protests were secretly funded, naming two private citizens along the way. He broke his own silence three times — to call the Fed chair a moron for not cutting rates, to report a friendly call with Mexico's president, and, at the end of the day, to threaten Canada's entire aircraft industry over a certification dispute. He slept a normal night and posted nothing after 6:30 PM, so despite the volume this reads as heavy amplification rather than a manic stretch. The oddest note: eighteen minutes after posting that the economy was setting records in every way, he was threatening a 50% tariff on an ally.
