Add retired CIA counterintelligence chief Susan Miller to the wagon circle protecting former President Barack Obama and former CIA Director John Brennan. Miller is one of the officials who oversaw the 2017 assessment on the 2016 elections, tasked with determining whether there was credible Russian interference. Over the weekend, Miller has taken to the usual legacy media claiming that Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and President Donald Trump are lying to suit their own purposes. In other words, another day ending in “Y.”
Of course, Miller ran to legacy media outlet NBC News to share her thoughts on this development (emphasis added):
The former senior CIA officer who helped oversee the 2017 intelligence assessment on Russia’s interference in the 2016 election says Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and the White House are “lying” when they claim that it was an attempt to sabotage President Donald Trump.
Susan Miller, a retired CIA officer who helped lead the team that produced the report about Russia’s actions during the 2016 campaign, told NBC News it was based on credible information that showed Moscow sought to help Trump win the election, but that there was no sign of a conspiracy between the Kremlin and the Trump campaign.
However, that is not what the final report submitted alleged, which is part of the bone that Gabbard and Trump have to pick. What was engineered by Obama and pushed by Brennan, Clapper and the rest of the nefarious intelligence and FBI actors was that Trump colluded with Russia to steal the 2016 election from Hillary Clinton. The legacy media and all those parties allowed that fraudulent report to be treated as gospel and dissected and reported on nine ways to Sunday. Yet, Miller bypasses the Russia Hoax that sucked the oxygen out of the news cycle for four years and helped derail Trump 45 and his presidency. This hoax would not have had any life if not for Miller’s supposedly standard and “dispassionate” report.
Instead, Miller parrots the Democrat talking points that these allegations from DNI Gabbard are mere conspiracy theories and that Gabbard and Trump are lying… again.
“The director of national intelligence and the White House are lying, again,” Miller said. “We definitely had the intel to show with high probability that the specific goal of the Russians was to get Trump elected.”
She added: “At the same time, we found no two-way collusion between Trump or his team with the Russians at that time.”
One needs a pretty sharp razor to keep splitting that hair. Miller added,
Miller said “it is clear that Trump and his followers have a script they want to follow, despite the facts.”
Mmmkay. Miller appeared Friday on CNN’s “The Source with Kaitlan Collins” and defended her team’s work on the intelligence, stanning for her then-boss John Brennan and claiming they were told to be “dispassionate” and just submit the credible intelligence that was found. Miller further claimed that her team did not want the Steele Dossier included in the assessment and that Brennan was not the one who insisted on including the dossier in the report.
Really?!
Miller alleged it was the FBI who wanted it included, and that she was forced to add it as an annex to the report for the FBI to sign off on it.
WATCH:
Miller is an alumna of California Polytechnic University. It is curious timing that on July 1, Cal Poly’s school paper the “Mustang” did a puff piece on her.
In that Mustang piece it claimed:
She served nine times overseas and eventually rose to become the CIA’s Chief of Counterintelligence, where in 2016, she authored the initial report proving the Russians interfered in the 2016 election in an attempt to sway the presidential election in Donald Trump’s favor. She was grilled for eight hours during the historic Barr-Durham trial in which President Trump pressured the then-attorney general into pressing criminal charges against her.
Now that she has retired — and retains the same security clearance as the U.S. president minus the nuclear stuff — Miller reached out to Mustang News to share her story and explain how a young woman from Sunnyvale would go on to an adventurous and decorated career as a CIA agent.
Can you say, “Axe to grind,” boys and girls? And why under heaven does she still have a security clearance at all, let alone at the highest level?! Later in the article, Miller brought up the Russian intelligence, and blamed Trump for his conspiratorial mind that could turn basic intelligence into a witch hunt.
Uh-huh.
The standard analytic report became a political lightning rod. When Trump was briefed by the director of the CIA, he was not happy, Miller said. Both Miller and [her deputy, Sheetal] Patel said Trump saw the report as a “deep state” conspiracy and a “witch hunt,” instructing his attorney general to criminally charge those involved in compiling it.
That meant Miller and Patel.
Miller was dragged into an eight-hour interrogation about her methods for crafting the paper targeted at discerning political bias. The investigation eventually found none and she never officially heard from them again.
Whispers of Trump trying to prosecute them again have haunted Miller and Patel. Just a few months ago the report’s name surfaced again.
“That’s just the gift that keeps giving,” Patel said of the papers.
Apparently, if she’s able to now garner legacy media appearances from it. Does Miller plan to run for California governor? Brennan is the one in the crosshairs, not her. So, if it was a basic, paint-by-numbers report, she could have chosen to remain in the woodwork since essentially, she’s not the one feeling the heat. So, why resurface and choose to call DNI Gabbard and Trump liars?
Two reasons revealed in the Mustang article: She is slated to receive an award for her unsung intelligence work and she is slated to be the keynote speaker for a Cal Poly Journalism school event.
Miller is set to receive the Hidden Hero Award from the International Spy Museum in D.C. come November, recognizing those who make “outsized contributions to the Intelligence Community yet have gone relatively unrecognized for their work,” the website says. She’s also attending Cal Poly Journalism’s Mustang Media Fest in October as a keynote speaker.
Also recently uncovered, this July 17 Times Radio London podcast on which Miller appeared. Miller once again brings up the 2016 Russian intel and how Trump threatened to put her and her team in jail.
WATCH:
It is very interesting that these ex-intelligence officials love to go overseas to render their assessments. Of course, to Miller, all roads lead to Ukraine and that big, bad Trump refuses to fully support this money-laundering conflict. It all ties together.
Miller jumping in with two big feet, adding her voice to the chorus of “Gabbard is a liar, Trump is delusional and trying to deflect from Epstein,” is transparent, weak, and more proof that they are trying to rewrite history because the truth has them running scared.
