Miranda Devine: Russiagate lies are being exposed — and everybody is watching, even the Dems
Despite the best efforts of Russiagate-complicit media to dismiss as 'Russian disinformation' the latest revelations in this escalating scandal implicating Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton in the treasonous 'years-long coup' against President Trump, the public is paying attention and wants heads to roll. According to a Rasmussen poll released Monday, two-thirds of voters (65%) are following declassified releases over the past month by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and Sen. Chuck Grassley 'very closely' (32%) or 'somewhat closely' (33%), repudiating the calculated media silence about the Obama administration's fake narratives and manipulation of intelligence to frame Donald Trump as a Kremlin stooge to cover up Hillary Clinton's wrongdoing. The poll of 1,172 likely voters, conducted July 29-31, shows 54% believe Obama administration officials committed serious crimes in 'manipulating intelligence,' with 37% saying it's 'very likely' and 17% saying it's 'somewhat likely.' A staggering 69% agree it is critical that the perpetrators be held accountable 'for the survival of our country.' Dems interested too Even more disturbing for Democrats is that it's not just Republicans who are concerned. The poll shows 56% of Democrats are following the investigation, 32% believe serious crimes were committed and 59% agree the perpetrators must be 'held accountable.' The respective Republican comparison is 75%, 83% and 86%. Hispanics are more cynical about the scandal than either black or white voters, with 66% saying serious crimes were committed and 74% wanting accountability, compared to 51% and 65% respectively for blacks, and 53% and 69% respectively for whites. Men are more concerned than women, with 74% vs. 59% following the revelations closely; 60% vs. 49% believing there is serious criminality; and 72% vs. 66% favoring accountability. It's a demonstration of the impotence of Democrat-allied media, like The New York Times, Washington Post, ABC, NBC and CBS, who showered themselves with praise and Pulitzer Prizes for their since-debunked stories about Russiagate and are hoping their audience is willing to be duped again. But like the boy who cried wolf, no one is listening anymore. According to Gabbard's office, ABC, CBS and NBC spent a total of 2,284 minutes covering Russiagate, yet they have devoted only 2 minutes and 17 seconds on the disclosures of the last couple of weeks. Even when they mention the story, it's to try to debunk it. Obama administration CIA Director John Brennan and DNI James Clapper and Hillary Clinton lawyer Marc Elias have fanned out across their favorite media outlets desperately trying to extinguish public interest. 'I am imploring, like honestly, I'm just imploring the media, do not report this as a legitimate investigation,' Elias told MSNBC. 'Do not report this as 'They are opening an investigation into John Brennan' . . . Report this as the misuse, the abuse, the authoritarian takeover of the Department of Justice. That should be the headline.' Hah! Too bad for Elias, it's no longer 2016. The public — and Donald Trump — are wiser and more determined to put heads on pikes. The renewed scrutiny of the 'Obama administration's conspiracy to subvert Trump's 2016 victory and presidency,' as Gabbard puts it, began early last month, when CIA Director John Ratcliffe released a bombshell review of the Intelligence Community Assessment, ordered by Obama on Dec. 9, 2016, that falsely claimed Russia interfered in the 2016 presidential election to help Trump. The review found Brennan, Clapper and then-FBI Director James Comey were 'excessively involved' in the ICA drafting, rushed its completion before Trump took office and forced the inclusion of the discredited Steele dossier, over the objections of the CIA's Russia experts, suggesting a 'potential political motive.' 'Treasonous conspiracy' That ICA was the genesis of Russiagate, casting doubt over the legitimacy of Trump's 2016 election and sabotaging his first term, with Obama the 'ringleader,' says Trump, and Democrat-allied media was crucial to its success. Every week, Post columnist Miranda Devine sits down for exclusive and candid conversations with the most influential disruptors in Washington. Subscribe here! What followed Ratcliffe's bombshell was a systematic release by Gabbard and Grassley of evidence that exposed the Obama and Biden administrations' weaponization of law enforcement and intelligence agencies against Trump. July 18: Gabbard releases a declassified report that finds that at a meeting in the Oval Office on Dec 9, 2016, Obama directed top national security officials, including Clapper, Brennan, Comey, Andrew McCabe, Susan Rice, John Kerry, Loretta Lynch and Avril Haines, to create a new intelligence assessment saying Russians meddled in the election on behalf of Trump, contradicting multiple intelligence assessments to the contrary released previously. Gabbard describes the plot as a 'treasonous conspiracy by officials at the highest levels of the Obama White House to subvert the will of the American people and try to usurp the President from fulfilling his mandate.' July 23: Gabbard holds a press conference at the White House to announce that she has sent criminal referrals to the DOJ and FBI implicating Obama and his national security team in 'seditious conspiracy.' She alleges Brennan suppressed intelligence showing Russia was not favoring Trump. She also releases a declassified House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence report that had been withheld even from the committee. It shows that in September 2016, Russia's foreign intelligence service had obtained DNC emails showing Clinton was suffering from 'intensified psycho-emotional' and physical problems. Russian spies also had a Clinton campaign email discussing a plan to tie Trump to Putin to distract Americans from Hillary's email-server scandal. July 30: Brennan and Clapper write an op-ed in The New York Times branding as 'patently false' allegations from Gabbard and Ratcliffe 'that senior officials of the Obama administration manufactured politicized intelligence, silenced intelligence professionals and engaged in a broad 'treasonous conspiracy' to undermine the presidency of Donald Trump.' Gabbard responds by releasing a whistleblower's account detailing the pressure applied to him to agree to a bogus assessment that Russia interfered in the 2016 election to help Trump. 'I was pressured to alter my views,' the intelligence analyst-turned whistleblower claimed. Keep up with today's most important news Stay up on the very latest with Evening Update.

Isn't it possible Putin has something on Trump, to blackmail and coerce him? . . . You need to TRUST ME on this.' The whistleblower tried repeatedly to report his concerns about the fraudulent ICA to multiple government officials, including the inspector general for the intelligence community and former special counsel John Durham, but was rebuffed and ignored. 'Consequences' 'There must be consequences,' White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller told Fox News host Maria Bartiromo on Sunday. 'Because, if we have a country where we can continue to have FBI careerists and CIA careerists, deep staters, who will fabricate and doctor evidence . . . to try to go after their political enemies, up to and including the president, if we continue to create the impression and the reality that there is not a criminal, a severe criminal penalty for such conduct, it will never stop,' he said. Yes, this is not about looking in the rearview mirror or pursuing petty vendettas, as Trump critics say. It's about holding the coup-plotters accountable as a deterrent, restoring the integrity of our intelligence and law enforcement institutions and righting a historic wrong committed against the American people.

NFL Kicks Off Preseason With Moment of Silence After Fatal NYC Shooting
The NFL season kicked off at the annual Hall of Fame game Thursday night with a moment of silence for the four people killed earlier this week by a shooter who was targeting league headquarters in New York. The gunman also wounded a league employee in the shooting Monday night. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell told NBC he visited the employee for an hour on Wednesday and said the man was improving. "It's just heartbreaking for all of us," Goodell said. "It's devastating. An amazing young man, and so we're optimistic about his recovery and I think that's good news for all of us in the NFL and obviously our hearts continue to be in support with the family. I think it is something that is really hard for all of us to understand and to deal with." Goodell stayed in New York to attend the funeral for police officer Didarul Islam, who was killed in the shooting. "It hits home — the loss, the unnecessary and unexplainable loss — and it's something all of us, you know, as New Yorkers feel great pride in the NYPD and what they do, and all the first responders," Goodell said. "So it was a difficult, emotional afternoon, but also a tremendous, heartwarming service." There was increased security around Tom Benson Stadium, where Eric Allen, Jared Allen, Antonio Gates and Sterling Sharpe will be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Saturday. "That's real life and it's unfortunate that we live in a space right now that's a possibility, and it's becoming a situation where if you're a parent, that's the first thing you think about is workplace safety for your child or for your loved ones," Eric Allen told The Associated Press. "And for it to specifically be the National Football League, the opening week is tonight, Hall of Fame is Saturday, and the game has made so many great strides, but it's just an example of there's still work to be done." The league held a virtual town hall on Wednesday, giving employees an opportunity to connect and share resources. Goodell told employees on Tuesday they could work remotely at least through the end of next week because league offices would be closed. Investigators believe Shane Tamura, 27, of Las Vegas, was trying to get to the NFL offices after shooting several people in the building's lobby, then another in a 33rd-floor office on Monday, before he killed himself, authorities said. Police said Tamura had a history of mental illness, and a rambling note found on his body suggested that he had a grievance against the NFL over a claim that he suffered from chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a degenerative brain disease that can be diagnosed only by examining the brain after a person dies. Tamura played high school football in California a decade ago but never in the NFL. "It is a difficult thing, particularly when you are dealing with senseless acts like this," Goodell said. "They're hard for all of us to understand, when it inflicts pain on people you know and people you care about and people that we deal with on a daily basis, that's particularly hard. "As you know, these acts of senseless violence and hatred are happening around our country and our world, far too often in schools and churches and synagogues and other places. This should just not be happening, but we all have to continue to be vigilant and do what we can to protect ourselves and the NFL's going to do that with our employees and our people."
