The Russia hoax was concocted by the Clinton campaign with attorney Marc Elias serving as a cutout. They undertook the hoax with the full knowledge and assistance of the Obama administration, including CIA Director John Brennan, Vice President Biden, and Obama himself. The underlying documents were handed off to the press and the FBI, whose senior leadership then sought to surveil, sting, and depose President Trump in the early days of his first administration.

The true story of the hoax would give us a key to the secret history of our time. The FBI won’t give it up without a fight. Working with the RealClearInvestigations outlet of the RealClearPolitics lineup, Aaron Maté reports that in response to a Freedom of Information request filed in August 2022, the FBI released a heavily redacted copy of the document that opened the probe of Trump as an agent of the Russian government. The FBI produced the document on December 31, over two years after RCI submitted its FOIA request. Speaking of cutouts, we can hypothesize that the FBI needed the time carefully to apply its scissors to the sensitive material.

RCI published Maté’s column earlier this past Monday. It hasn’t drawn the attention it warrants. The New York Post picks up the subject in its editorial “Redacted Russiagate docs show the feds are STILL lying about Trump and their putsch attempt.” With a second Trump administration about to take office, perhaps we can get — forgive the cliché — to the bottom of the story. Or perhaps it is bottomless.
