First, Hillary Clinton, the twice-failed presidential candidate who never got over her humiliating loss to Donald Trump, is suddenly praising Trump as a peacemaker and openly admitting she’d nominate him for a Nobel Peace Prize if he can end the bloody war in Ukraine without ceding land to Russia.

And now, shockingly, Obama’s disgraced former CIA Director John Brennan, the same deep state operative who pushed the Russia Collusion Hoax to undermine Trump’s presidency, is following Clinton’s lead, saying he too would support Trump for the Nobel if he pulls it off.

“Honestly, if he could bring about the end to this terrible war, if he could end it without putting Ukraine in a position where it had to concede its territory to the aggressor, could really stand up to Putin — something we haven’t seen, but maybe this is the opportunity — if President Trump were the architect of that, I’d nominate him for a Nobel Peace Prize,” Clinton told host Jessica Tarlov.

She emphasized her stance, adding, “Because my goal here is to not allow capitulation to Putin.”

Over at MSNBC, Trump-hater Nicole Wallace tried to mock Trump’s efforts, asking if there was even a chance of success. But Brennan is now conceding the point, albeit through gritted teeth. His pure Trump Derangement Syndrome won’t allow him to openly admit that Trump has the deal-making chops to pull it off, but he knows the truth.

“I think the odds are probably one out of 100 at best,” Brennan said, before conceding: “But I would second a nomination for a Nobel Peace Prize… if in fact that happens.” Of course, Brennan couldn’t resist adding that the odds were “one out of 100.”

Full transcript:

Nicole Wallace:
Made me laugh the first time I heard it. But the truth is, Trump has never negotiated something this complex, and he certainly never asked Putin to give something back—to give back occupied territory and negotiate a ceasefire. Where do you put the odds of being able to convince Putin to do that after all of this very public pomp and circumstance in his honor?

John Brennan:
I think the odds are probably one out of 100 at best. There is no way Vladimir Putin is going to give up the territory that he has gained in Ukraine willingly. This is not something that is in his personality—to be able to just withdraw and to acknowledge publicly that he made a mistake.

Again, Donald Trump, who believes he's the world's best negotiator—that’s why I think he realizes that this is something way, way beyond his ability to even influence in a very positive direction. What's going to happen in these meetings? I don't know. I hope that Donald Trump stays strong, pushes for a ceasefire across the board—not just an air ceasefire, but on the battlefield—freeze that, so he can stop some of this suffering.

But I really don't see Vladimir Putin reneging or pulling out of the territory that he's in now. But I would second a nomination for a Nobel Peace Prize for Hillary Clinton for Donald Trump, if in fact that happens. But I see the chances of that being next to zero.

How do these treasonous fcks still get airtime even after the FBI and DNI declassified the details of their coup?

A newly declassified timeline of the Clinton Foundation investigation shows a disturbing pattern of interference, obstruction, and outright protection of Hillary Clinton by Obama’s Department of Justice and FBI brass just as the 2016 election was heating up.

“FBI agents uncovered evidence of pay-to-play at the Clinton Foundation in 2016. DOJ leadership & McCabe ordered them to ‘Shut it down.’ We’ve now declassified the memo. This is proof of political interference at the highest levels,” FBI Director Kash Patel wrote on X.

Just the News reported:

The timeline — written by a DOJ lawyer assigned to the FBI under former bureau Director James Comey — was recently secured by top aides to Patel along with several corroborating internal emails and was obtained by Just the News. Together, they make clear that both the DOJ and former Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe placed significant impediments in front of agents who believed they had evidence to justify a public integrity criminal case.

The declassified timeline revealed that as early as February 2016, the Justice Department “indicated they would not be supportive of an FBI investigation.” The timeline also shows that, in mid-February 2016, McCabe ordered that “no overt investigative steps” were allowed to be taken in the Clinton Foundation investigation “without his approval” — a command he allegedly repeated numerous times over the coming months.

The Gateway Pundit previously reported that a smoking-gun email from Obama’s Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates explicitly ordered FBI agents to shut down a criminal corruption probe into the Clinton Foundation.

According to investigative reporter John Solomon, who obtained the newly declassified memo, the investigation, quietly running in New York, Washington, D.C., and Little Rock, was reportedly a fully predicated criminal case examining whether Hillary Clinton, as Secretary of State, ran a pay-to-play influence racket.

According to Solomon, FBI agents had reason to believe foreign nationals and other deep-pocketed donors bought access and favors from the State Department in exchange for massive contributions to the Clinton Foundation, all while the Obama DOJ looked the other way.

At the time, then–FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, whose wife took campaign cash from a Clinton ally while he personally attended the meeting to solicit the funds, allegedly locked down the investigation, ordering that no action be taken without his personal approval.

Four separate U.S. Attorneys’ offices under Obama were approached by FBI agents for help with subpoenas, grand juries, and evidence gathering. Three of the four refused outright.

The most damning piece, however, according to John Solomon, is the document uncovered by FBI Director Kash Patel.

In it, Deputy AG Sally Yates directly instructs the FBI to “shut it down” the Clinton Foundation investigation, effectively granting the Clintons immunity from further scrutiny during the 2016 election cycle.

The FBI Timeline: Smoking Gun of Political Protection

2015: Investigations Begin, DOJ Slams the Brakes

After Clinton Cash exploded onto the scene, the FBI’s Washington, New York, and Little Rock offices began preliminary investigations. But by August 2015, the Department of Justice had already warned the FBI it would not support an inquiry into the Clinton Foundation.

Instead of empowering agents, DOJ officials made it clear: don’t dig too deep. FBI offices were told they needed Deputy Director Andrew McCabe’s personal approval to take any “overt” steps from issuing subpoenas to interviewing witnesses.

2016: The Election-Year Cover-Up

By early 2016, the FBI had confidential sources and evidence pointing to suspicious financial activity at the Clinton Foundation. Yet DOJ leadership stepped in again:

• McCabe ordered that no new informants could be recruited.
• Investigators could only review existing files, not obtain new records.
• Prosecutors who showed interest were told to back off until after the election.

In July 2016, the same month James Comey announced Hillary would not be charged for her secret email server, McCabe personally demanded that the Clinton Foundation cases in Washington and Little Rock be closed, consolidated, and placed under New York’s office, where he could keep them under tighter control.

As election day loomed, prosecutors admitted privately that DOJ brass had ordered no legal process, no subpoenas, no charges—until after voters cast their ballots.

2017: Still Buried After Trump’s Victory

Even after Trump’s surprise win, the Clinton Foundation probe remained smothered. By January 2017, agents were told to wait for “guidance from the Director’s office.” New York prosecutors declined to move forward, citing “statute of limitations” and “no appetite” for the case

In other words, justice delayed became justice denied.

New York Attorney General Letitia James is facing serious allegations of mortgage fraud—claims that could carry criminal liability and continue undermine her credibility as the state’s top law enforcement official.

The allegations come from Bill Pulte, the newly confirmed Director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), who says James may have falsified mortgage and property records over decades to secure favorable loan terms.

Pulte, confirmed to lead the FHFA in March 2025 after a bipartisan Senate vote, now oversees the regulation of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and the Federal Home Loan Banks—institutions central to U.S. housing finance.

Former Washington Post fact-checker Glenn Kessler admitted Thursday that he was “completely wrong” to label the COVID lab leak theory as “doubtful” in 2020, conveniently coming clean five years later after recently leaving the publication.

During an interview with The Editors, Kessler’s 2020 Washington Post fact-check article entitled, “Was the new coronavirus accidentally released from a Wuhan lab? It’s doubtful,” was discussed.

“I screwed up… I was completely wrong,” Kessler told editor Ira Stoll. He expressed “infinite regret” and tried to brush it off by saying, “Everyone makes mistakes. No one is perfect.”

The problem is that when Kessler wrote this headline, the country was tearing itself apart with fear.

As President Donald Trump was rightfully blaming China for the Wuhan lab leak, others in the media were dismissing the president, while sowing doubt and blaming it on transmissions from bats to humans.

The nation lost valuable time by arguing over the origin of the virus, and it hobbled Trump’s ability to lead.

This allowed China to shirk its responsibility a bit longer and delayed Trump’s ability to place the blame where it rightfully belonged. It also took the focus off Dr. Anthony Fauci’s involvement.

That amounts to a huge mistake. It could even be argued it was done on purpose to sabotage Trump and avoid aggression toward Chinese interests. This isn’t something that can simply be apologized away.

Yet Kessler continued his contrition speech all the same.

“When you’ve got a title like ‘the fact checker,’ when you make a mistake, people notice,” he said. “So, you know, you’ve got to own it.”

He even had the gall to say his entire body of work outweighed the error, despite being previously accused of running a “propaganda mill” by the New York Post editorial board.

“I wrote or edited 3,000 fact-checks. Yes, there might be a dozen bad apples there,” Kessler added. “It’s easy and kind of facile to pick at a particular piece and say that defines a person.”

But we’re not talking about a mistake that can be fixed with an editor’s note, or a spelling error that can be tweaked with the click of a button.

This headline drove a narrative that resulted in real life consequences. It helped contribute to mass censorship against any dissenters.

The media drove the narrative on how America should tackle the virus, and what policies would work best, especially in the early weeks and months of the outbreak.

“One of the reporters on the piece came up to me the next day and said, ‘I think you made a real mistake by putting ‘it’s doubtful,’” Kessler confessed. “‘Because I’m uncertain where it stands, and you framed it in a way that made it seem more definitive than what we came up with.’”

He added, “That’s on me. I screwed up. She recently left The Washington Post to go to another place. In my goodbye remarks, I mentioned, this explains why you should always listen to Sarah, because she’s right, and I was completely wrong about this.”

He was referring to Sarah Cahlan, who co-authored the piece.

He admitted that he ignored advice from one of the reporters who wrote the article. And the headline still hasn’t been changed! One year later, a note was added to the 2020 article that still didn’t confirm COVID came from a lab.

Part of the note read, “A year later, the source of the coronavirus is still unknown. But in recent months new evidence has tipped the lab leak theory onto firmer ground.”

Why wasn’t Kessler suspended or punished for such a glaring error? Quite the opposite happened when Kessler was allowed to stay on, and took a buyout less than three weeks ago after working there for almost 30 years, according to the New York Post.

It’s as if the rules don’t apply to members of the media so long as they’re liberal and hate Trump. The double standard is astounding and shows that most of what the media produces is geared toward achieving a political agenda.

They’re the pure embodiment of the old quote, “Never let the truth get in the way of a good story.”
