The Russia Collusion story is like the Jeffrey Epstein saga: neither will go away even after all these years. 

Former CIA Director John Brennan, former Director of Intelligence James Clapper, former FBI Director James Comey and former President Barack Obama are all furiously spinning and whining after DNI Tulsi Gabbard dropped receipts in her report accusing the bunch of a  “years long coup” and a “treasonous conspiracy” for manufacturing the entire hoax in order to bring down their nemesis, Donald Trump.

But now another name has come up: former National Security Advisor John Bolton, who served in Trump’s first term. RealClearInvestigations reporter Paul Sperry took to X to post a long thread detailing how he believes Bolton was an eager participant in the plot.

He buried the truth, Sperry alleges:

BREAKING: Sources tell me in 2018 former Trump Nat’l Security Adviser John Bolton received a classified memo summarizing the explosive report exposing how Brennan cooked up Putin-Trump intel, but Bolton stuck it in an NSC safe and never briefed Trump, believing the Brennan intel.
