This post is media-only: a shared Fox News segment amplifying an unverified Substack report claiming Obama-era CIA Director John Brennan directed Five Eyes agencies to surveil 26 Trump campaign associates in 2016, reframing "Russiagate" as intelligence-community-manufactured. With no original text, stylometric and cognitive baseline comparison is unavailable; authorship attribution rests solely on timing (~10:41 PM Eastern, consistent with authentic late-night engagement, though a single clip repost is low-effort and could equally be staff-curated). The clip reinforces Trump's persistent narrative of being a persecuted victim of the intelligence community — a redemption-sequence selection (persecution trending toward vindication) rather than a reaction to a fresh injury. Notable features include grudge-bearing consistent with paranoid-features criteria, projection of culpability onto Obama-era officials, and black-and-white (splitting) framing of the IC as corrupt versus Trump/associates as innocent targets. No violent, dehumanizing, or mobilizing language is present; danger level is none. Because the propositional content originates entirely from broadcast journalists, no factual claims are attributed to Trump himself, though amplifying a single-sourced, uncorroborated allegation as vindicating "extremely serious information" is itself the behavior of interest — continuation of an eight-plus-year grievance narrative rather than a novel psychological event.

The day started in the middle of a late-night posting binge before his trip to China. In under an hour he pushed out a stream of video clips about Obama, the Russia investigation and the 2020 election, many of them reposts of his own earlier material. After a short night he went after the New York T...

in Russia collusion hoax, by asking foreign intelligence agencies to illegally spy on the Trump campaign? Lucas Tomlinson in Washington with more. Lucas. Good early morning, Carly and Todd. This report from Substax sizing multiple unnamed sources claims the U.S. intelligence community asked foreign spy agencies to help spy on more than two dozen associates of Donald Trump in the run-up to the 2016 election. It reads in part, "President Barack Obama's CIA director John Brennan had identified 26 Trump associates for the Five Eyes to target, a source confirmed that the IC had identified them as people to bump or make contact with or manipulate. They were targets of our own IC and law enforcement targets for collection and misinformation. The Five Eyes nations are the U.S., U.K., Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Here's one of the reporters, Michael Schellenberger, who spoke to Jesse Waters last night. 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 Durham investigation, had portrayed it, then that's extremely serious information. The report was released at the same time House conservatives are preparing a bill that would reauthorize section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act that allows the government to collect communications from foreigners abroad. And today the House Rules Committee is set to meet over that FISA reform bill, guys.
