Executive Summary
We are watching a treasonous conspiracy against the American people unravel in real time, and the architecture that produced it is still standing. This week’s developments confirm what years of reporting suggested: President Obama directed the creation of an Intelligence Community Assessment that contradicted the IC’s own prior conclusions and relied on the discredited Steele dossier. The sitting Director of National Intelligence has stated on the record that the intent and what followed can only be described as a years-long coup.
The same pipeline that produced that operation is still placing people. Roughly 150 former CIA and State Department officers organized themselves as a “Steady State” within a day of the 2016 election. One of them, Abigail Spanberger, is now Virginia’s governor and has appointed Soros-funded prosecutors Chesa Boudin and George Gascon to the state’s Criminal Justice Services Board. The Brennan Center for Justice at NYU — founded by William J. Brennan’s law clerks — supplies the legal-philosophical engine, exporting critical legal theory and the “America is institutionally racist” framing into the DOJ, the courts, and the press.
We see the same operation in the Carmelo Anthony murder trial in Texas, where jurors openly say they cannot convict a young Black defendant even when the killing occurred in front of witnesses. We see it in the Hunter Biden laptop censorship that every senior official knew was a verified document. We see it in Ohio, where independent journalists are met with race-card threats for asking about billions in Medicaid fraud. This piece walks through the personnel, the institutions, and the timing. Scroll to the bottom for Key Takeaways.
The Directed Assessment: How the Russia Hoax Was Built
The January 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment did not emerge organically from the analytical process. It was directed. President Obama instructed his team, in a documented meeting, to produce an assessment detailing how Moscow meddled in the 2016 election in favor of Donald Trump.
The product contradicted what the same intelligence community had said in the months before the election and in the days immediately after. It claimed with “high confidence” that Putin had intervened to help Donald Trump get elected. It relied on the Steele dossier — a document the people producing the assessment knew was discredited and politically manufactured. The sources used did not meet basic tradecraft analytic standards, and the assemblers knew that too.
Asked directly whether Obama was guilty of treason, the sitting Director of National Intelligence left the criminal charges to the Department of Justice. She is not an attorney. But her on-camera characterization is plain: the expressed intent behind creating a fake manufactured intelligence document, and what followed afterward, can only be described as a years-long coup and a treasonous conspiracy against the American people, our republic, and the Trump administration.
The Steady State and the Letter to General Flynn
Within roughly a day of Donald Trump’s 2016 victory, a group of former CIA and State Department officers began organizing. A former CIA officer described the structure on camera. Many of them had worked together on Balkans issues at the end of the Clinton administration. They liked each other. They trusted each other. They had moved into the private sector or retired. They called themselves “formers.”
By the time the Ukraine matter surfaced in 2019, the group numbered roughly 100 to 120 people. The language internally shifted from “help” to “existential.” A president who, in their characterization, had stepped outside the framework of American national security policy had to be managed.
In parallel, 150 former CIA officers signed a letter to General Flynn declaring that Donald Trump was an existential threat to America and could not be permitted to serve as president — because the foreign policy framework was already set. The Ukraine architecture for the next round of great-power conflict was already in place, and they were not going to allow an elected president to disturb it.
The Brennan Center Pipeline
The legal-philosophical engine for the broader operation has a name and an address. The William J. Brennan Center for Justice, founded by law clerks of William J. Brennan, sits at NYU’s law school alongside Andrew Weissmann’s Just Security NGO.
Its declared focus areas include elections, criminal justice, and what it calls “racial and political institutional change.” It pushes critical legal theory — the project of rewriting the Constitution and Bill of Rights to fundamentally transform America. The framing that America is institutionally racist comes from there, and so does much of the ideological architecture that the Department of Justice ran during the Holder years.
The Personnel Connections
Norm Eisen, the lawyer who has run what amounts to a textbook color revolution playbook, was a Harvard Law School classmate of Barack Obama in 1991. Professor Derrick Bell, openly Marxist, is the figure most directly responsible for what later became DEI in American institutions. Obama publicly praised him in the 1990s.
The DOJ under Eric Holder absorbed personnel from the Southern Poverty Law Center into the Civil Rights Division. The ideological replacements came from the SPLC, the ACLU, the NAACP, and the broader Progressive Inc. network.
Virginia 2026: The Pipeline Holding Office
The live demonstration is in Virginia. Governor Abigail Spanberger — herself a former CIA officer — has appointed Soros-backed prosecutors Chesa Boudin and George Gascon to the state’s Criminal Justice Services Board, along with a Soros-tied activist who has described being self-conscious about her own whiteness.
Chesa Boudin is the son of Weather Underground terrorists Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn. He was recalled by the voters of San Francisco. George Gascon’s record in Los Angeles is documented. The recruiting vehicle is an organization called the Prosecutors Alliance.
The Prosecutors Alliance counts roughly 5,000 prosecutor members, 10,000 seminar attendees, and 100,000 alumni of its free online training. Its partners include Progressive International and the Center for American Progress. Its funding sources include the Tides Foundation and George Soros. Its program is reimagining policing, defunding the police, restorative justice in place of imprisonment, and “educating the next generation of justice leaders.”
The Race Card as Procedural Weapon
In Texas, jury selection is underway in the murder trial of Carmelo Anthony, the 19-year-old who stabbed Austin Metcalf to death at a track meet, in front of witnesses, while Austin stood next to his twin brother. The legal team backed by Crump, the Southern Poverty Law Center, and the NAACP is running race as the defense.
The jury pool is responding the way it was conditioned to respond. One potential juror said the defendant “looks like a child.” Another said she could not make a decision about somebody so young because “one mistake, one argument, one conflict, you can’t say he’s a bad person.” Another said they could not convict another African American male of murder. Another said, “I don’t think I’d feel right putting a brother in jail.”
This is the operation the post-2020 racial justice uprising was always for. The Time magazine piece by Molly Ball — the one celebrating how progressives “fortified” the 2020 election — quoted activists planning to “reprise the demonstrations if Trump tried to steal the 2020 election.” In leftist circles, “steal” means “win.” That is the language. That is the operation.
The Inversion Pattern: Hunter Biden’s Laptop and Mar-a-Lago
The Hunter Biden laptop was a verified document. Every senior official involved in suppressing it knew it was authentic from 2019 forward — Bill Barr, Mike Pompeo, Gina Haspel, and senior CIA leadership. Americans were banned from social media platforms for telling the truth about it.
The Mar-a-Lago documents prosecution was, by multiple subsequent accounts, a sham built on a novel legal theory. The framing focused the jury on what happened at Mar-a-Lago rather than what happened at the White House because retention — not the underlying facts — was the only theory the case could survive on.
The inversion is the pattern. Real crimes against the American people are protected. Fabricated crimes against political opponents are prosecuted. The institutions doing both are the same institutions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is “treason” the right word for what Obama is alleged to have done?
The sitting Director of National Intelligence used the words “years-long coup” and “treasonous conspiracy” on camera to describe the documented intent and what followed. Whether the Department of Justice charges treason is a different question. The characterization stands on the record.
Why has no one been charged for the Hunter Biden laptop cover-up?
Senior officials at the FBI, CIA, DOJ, and the major tech platforms all had validation that the laptop was authentic from 2019 forward. The lack of charges is itself a data point about the institutional capture under discussion.
What is the connection between the Brennan Center and the DOJ?
The Brennan Center pushes critical legal theory and the “America is institutionally racist” framework. Its ideological allies were absorbed into the DOJ Civil Rights Division during the Holder years, alongside personnel drawn from the SPLC, ACLU, and NAACP.
Why does it matter that Abigail Spanberger is a former CIA officer?
Because the same intelligence community that organized as a Steady State against an elected president in 2016 is now placing its alumni into elected governorships and using that authority to install Soros-funded prosecutors on state criminal justice boards. The pipeline is operational.
