There’s loyalty, and then there’s Susan Miller-level loyalty. Susan Miller is a former CIA counterintelligence wonk who helped put together the 2016 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) that claimed that Donald Trump had colluded with Vladimir Putin to win the 2016 presidential election. It was nonsense and lies from beginning to end, and almost no one whose last name isn’t Schiff or Swalwell believes it anymore, but Susan Miller has indicated her willingness to go down with this sinking ship. Even today, in 2025, she insists that the Steele dossier, the discredited pack of lies that formed the basis for the collusion hoax, “might be true.”
Yeah, and Donald Trump might be planning to endorse Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for president in 2028. Nevertheless, Just The News reported Tuesday that Miller “has taken to social media and news media interviews in recent days” to brag that she was “hand-picked by former CIA Director John Brennan to lead the team which helped draft the ICA in late 2016.” This is nothing whatsoever that anyone should be proud of, and the fact that Miller still is demonstrates how much of a true believer she remains, despite the truth about the Russia hoax having come out.
Miller “has repeatedly suggested that Trump might be a ‘Russian asset’ or a ‘Kremlin asset’ without providing any evidence, despite recent reports showing that calmer, less politically-driven voices in the intelligence community at the time cast doubt on such allegations, but were squelched by Brennan.”
Okay, but that was back then, right? Surely has more sense, or more honesty, now, no? No: Miller “has also repeatedly claimed in recent weeks that British ex-spy Christopher Steele’s anti-Trump dossier might be true, despite the dossier having been thoroughly discredited for years now by a special prosecutor, congressional probes, and even the CIA itself.”
Miller “also claimed that some officials inside the CIA — whom she refused to name — had wanted her ICA team to declare that Trump’s win was illegitimate due to Russian meddling.” This despite the fact that she has admitted “the ICA team had found ‘no collusion’ when they were writing their assessment in late 2016, and even claimed that this ‘no collusion’ finding was made clear in the ICA.” Well, consistency has never been a hallmark of leftists.
Miller’s story now is this: “I headed up the report team.… I wanted people who would speak truth to power.” Oh, brother. Laying it on even thicker, she claimed that “all of us went in with a completely open mind” but that their investigations made it clear that the Russians “definitely wanted” Trump to win the election.
There is more. Read the rest here. |
