‘Undercover’ Spy At Center Of WSJ Sob Story Is Actually A Public CIA Russia Hoaxer
Docs: Clapper Pressured NSA Chief To Sign Onto Erroneous Russia Intel Assessment
A top Russiagate CIA vet just lost her clearance after Blaze News exposed her
A deep-state agent exposed as an imposter by Blaze News just had her security clearance revoked.
CIA Director John Ratcliffe and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard released newly declassified documents last month exposing how the Obama administration appeared to manufacture the Russia hoax — a well-coordinated and deceptive effort that the DNI has characterized as a "treasonous conspiracy."
Elements of the deep state quickly went into damage control.
While ex-CIA Director John Brennan played the victim on cable news and former DNI James Clapper lawyered up, Susan Miller, an ex-spy who was with the CIA for nearly 40 years, went on a media tour to frame Gabbard as a liar and to deny the new evidence.
'Susan Miller was not an author of the 2017 ICA.'
Miller, a good friend of former Obama official and Democrat megadonor Caroline Kennedy, told NBC News, for instance, that "the director of national intelligence and the White House are lying, again."
Miller's Russia hoax-centered attacks and refutations were taken seriously by the liberal media on the basis of the claim that she was an author of the the now-infamous 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment and had critical insights into its development.

CNN identified Miller as "an author of the agency’s 2017 intelligence report on Russian election meddling." NBC News claimed she "helped oversee the 2017 intelligence assessment on Russia’s interference in the 2016 election." A Mustang News puff piece said that "she authored the initial report proving the Russians interfered in the 2016 election in an attempt to sway the presidential election in Donald Trump’s favor."
Miller was more than happy to present as an integral part of the team behind the ICA, telling the "SpyTalk" podcast that she "headed up the report team" that compiled the assessment.
Blaze News revealed, however, that much like the Russia collusion narrative, Miller's leadership role in the 2017 ICA was a deep-state fiction.
A source familiar with the assessment told Blaze News that "Susan Miller was not an author of the 2017 ICA."
A senior intelligence official also confirmed to investigative journalist Matt Taibbi's Racket News, "Not an author. Not involved."

Another person familiar with the investigation noted, "She’s not the author of the ICA ... she wasn’t leading this effort. So it’s just totally bizarre that she claims the opposite."
Miller's attempt to lay claim to the ICA is particularly strange given the mounting evidence to suggest that it was patchwork of lies.
'That's not even a non-denial denial.'
The CIA's June review of the ICA found that there were "multiple procedural anomalies" in the production of the Obama-ordered January 2017 assessment, including "a highly compressed production timeline, stringent compartmentation, and excessive involvement of agency heads."
The newly declassified House Intelligence Committee majority staff report released by Gabbard last month further indicated that the ICA was a Brennan-masterminded fiction comprising misquotes, unreliable reports, lies of omission, and straight-out falsehoods.
Top-secret emails released by Gabbard this week show not only the apparent level of coordination by top Obama officials on the ICA but their apparent willingness to "compromise" on "normal modalities."
When pressed about her actual role on the ICA, Miller told Blaze News, "My team and I at CIA wrote a CIA analysis about Russian influence on the election."
"This was a CIA report, briefed to Trump by our then-director, and by me to the Senate and congressional intelligence committees. The DNI used that report as the basis for the ICA," continued Miller. "I indeed did not write the ICA, but the ODNI used my report as the basis for theirs."
Taibbi said of Miller's response, "That's not even a non-denial denial. It's an oops."
Miller has lost a great deal more than credibility.
Two Trump administration officials said to be familiar with the matter told the Federalist that Miller's security clearance has been terminated, the outlet reported Thursday.
A senior administration official told the Federalist, "Russian hoaxers sought to undermine President Trump’s entire first term in office. A woman involved in the Russia hoax cannot be trusted with a security clearance. Therefore, it has been revoked."
Miller previously boasted about having "full clearance" on her LinkedIn page. The page was recently deleted.
"This woman totally shouldn’t hold a high-level security clearance after pushing the Russia hoax. All she did was lie to the American people to hurt Trump," a senior Pentagon official told the Federalist.
Despite her recent efforts to deceive the American public, the International Spy Museum is apparently still set to give Miller its Hidden Hero Award in November.

EXCLUSIVE: Pentagon Terminates Security Clearance Of Russia Collusion Hoaxer Susan Miller
Durham annex proves Russiagate was a coordinated smear
Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) last week declassified a 29-page document known as the Durham annex. Its publication has received remarkably little attention from major media outlets, despite containing one of the most significant intelligence disclosures since the origins of the Russiagate investigation.
The Durham annex is not conjecture, analysis, or political spin. It is a collection of sensitive intelligence reports, internal memos, and declassified emails compiled by the intelligence community and withheld from public view for years under the pretext of “source protection.”
The Durham annex reveals that the FBI ignored evidence in 2015 and 2016 suggesting that foreign governments were attempting to collude not with Trump, but with Clinton.
The declassified document offers a clearer view of what many Americans have long suspected: that the narrative surrounding Trump-Russia collusion was not only politically motivated but deliberately constructed by the Clinton campaign, facilitated by sympathetic actors within U.S. intelligence agencies, and ultimately endorsed by senior members of the Obama administration.
This trove of documents does not merely reinforce existing criticisms of the FBI’s conduct during the 2016 election. It provides evidence that the Clinton campaign approved a strategy to discredit Donald Trump by promoting a false association with Vladimir Putin. And it does so using intelligence collected from foreign surveillance of American political actors — surveillance that the CIA deemed credible enough to brief President Barack Obama directly.
The cover-up unraveled
Central to the Durham annex is a source codenamed “T1” — a foreign intelligence asset who intercepted Russian cyber-espionage activity targeting American entities, including George Soros’ Open Society Foundation, the Clinton campaign, and U.S. think tanks. The reports T1 relayed to U.S. intelligence included detailed assessments of internal American political strategy. In effect, T1 was watching Russian spies watch us — and reporting back.
T1’s identity remains classified, but strong circumstantial evidence points to a Dutch intelligence source. The Netherlands reportedly gained access to Russian cyber operations as early as 2014. Regardless of who provided it, U.S. agencies treated the intelligence from T1 as credible.
Then-CIA Director John Brennan quickly briefed President Obama, Vice President Biden, FBI Director James Comey, and Director of National Intelligence James Clapper. Those briefings included memos indicating Hillary Clinton had personally approved a plan to tie Donald Trump to Russian election interference.
One memo, dated 2016 and reportedly obtained through Russian surveillance of George Soros’ Open Society Foundations, outlined a Clinton campaign strategy: “Smear Donald Trump by magnifying the scandal” over Russia’s preference for Trump. That memo laid the groundwork for the Trump-Russia collusion hoax now known as Russiagate.
Intelligence running Clinton’s interference
The CIA labeled the intelligence “sensitive” and credible. The FBI rejected it. Agents claimed it relied on hearsay, appeared exaggerated, and might have suffered from translation errors.
That kind of skepticism might seem reasonable — if the FBI had applied the same scrutiny to the Steele dossier. Instead, they accepted that now-debunked document without verification and used it to justify surveillance warrants.
The inconsistency runs deeper than analysis. The Durham annex reveals that the FBI ignored evidence from 2015 and 2016 showing that foreign governments weren’t courting Trump — they were cozying up to Clinton.
One memo, written before Trump even announced his candidacy, described a foreign intelligence operative preparing to meet with a Clinton associate to discuss a “plan.” The operative was acting on direct orders from a foreign head of state.

The precise content of the plan is redacted, but the FBI’s field office viewed it as serious enough to request a FISA warrant. That request, however, was left to “languish in limbo” by senior FBI officials, who subsequently warned Clinton in a defensive briefing.
Frayed trust, no accountability
The documents suggest a coordinated operation — one in which political, bureaucratic, and media institutions aligned to discredit a political opponent using information they had strong reasons to believe was false. The CIA deemed the intelligence worth a presidential briefing. The FBI discarded it. The media ignored it. And Clinton operatives implemented it.
This is not merely a scandal of partisan excess. Nearly 10 years after the first Hillary Clinton email leaks, and eight years after Trump’s unexpected victory, we are only now beginning to see the scope of institutional complicity in the Russiagate deception. The political cost may never be fully calculated, but the institutional damage — to the FBI, to the intelligence community, and to the trust of the American people — is already done.
