We have been discussing the recently declassified material related to the Russian investigation, including disclosures of the role of former CIA director John Brennan at the end of the Obama Administration to reinforce the unfounded allegations of Russian collusion and influence. After an earlier intelligence assessment rejecting the narrative was effectively quashed, Brennan reportedly hand-picked the team to do a second rushed 2016 U.S. intelligence community assessment in the final days. We are now learning more about the person Brennan selected to head that team. Just the News and other outlets are revealing not just the extreme political bias of Susan Miller, but her remarkably poor handle on some key facts. The one unassailable fact that comes out of her postings is her declaration that “[I] am not a Trump fan.”
A review of Miller’s social media postings reveals intense hostility toward Donald Trump and his supporters, including calling the President a “dictator” and MAGA supporters “Nazis.” What is particularly notable is that she still maintains that the widely ridiculed Steele Dossier, secretly funded by the Clinton campaign, “might be true.” Despite the findings of the Special Counsel and various investigations, she has insisted that Trump may indeed be a “Russian asset” or a “Kremlin asset”
Miller recently retired but says that she continues to train CIA officers.
Brennan chose wisely if he wanted to ensure that a reliable political ally would draft the assessment. However, she has said that there were others in the CIA who wanted an actual finding that Trump’s election was illegitimate. That was the narrative pushed by Hillary Clinton and many Democrats after the 2016 loss. She suggested that that may still be true, a form of election denial that is still accepted on the left as they criticize Trump for his questioning of the 2020 defeat.
Miller appears to be one of the last diehards claiming that the Steele dossier could have also repeatedly still proved correct in its allegations.
Some interviews are striking in their conflicting elements, like insisting “all of us went in with a completely open mind” but that “they [the Russians] definitely wanted him [Trump].”
Miller also seemed to view the CIA’s role as part of a resistance, or at least counterforce to Trump: “I headed up the report team. … I wanted people who would speak truth to power.”
On social media, Miller comes across as unhinged at times in responding to stories with screeds like “This is awful! Further proof that Trump is a dictator.” She also wrote, “Good grief. As if we needed proof that MAGA types are nazis…”
She responded to a foreign poster by saying, “Yes….the Hitler analogy is not lost on a bunch of us…..sadly….”
In one of the most bizarre series of statements, Miller accuses Trump, Barr, and Durham of putting “me on trial” because she was interviewed in the various investigations.
She insisted in an interview with Times Radio in July that Trump got Barr and Durham “to open a trial on us…I spent 8 hours on trial; other team members also had trials. Not unexpectedly, nothing criminal was found.”
Just the News notes that Miller said again in June that “Trump put me on trial….criminal complaint after inauguration.” There is no indication of what that criminal complaint entailed, where it was filed, or what happened to it.
Miller appears to be struggling to make the case against Brennan and herself in carrying out this intelligence assessment. It is telling that, within the entire CIA establishment, Brennan would select Miller for this controversial report.
What is even more chilling is that top intelligence officials would continue to cling to debunked sources like Steele. It is the kind of intransigence common among those living in echo chambers created by news and social media sites. CIA analysts are supposedly trained to avoid such confirmation bias.
All of this makes for a great pitch to join figures like Clapper or McCabe with MSNBC or CNN contracts. It is less compelling in defending the work product of the CIA on this report.
Statement:
“I headed up the report team. … I wanted people who would speak truth to power.”
Translation:
“I dictated the results of the report team….I wanted people who were willing to withhold the truth so we could stop the peaceful transfer of power.”
Trump is a fascist, a dictator, and a Russian asset. Miller is correct on those and thus not bias. She is also correct that it is the job of the CIA, FBI, DOJ, and military to protect this country against domestic enemies. Those enemies are Trump and the MAGAs.
Hahahahahahahahaha, where’d you copy and paste this one from? You’re such a freaking clown. Get new material, none of this worked in 2024, we reelected Trump anyway. Oooh that has to hurt!!!
She’s just a troll stirring the pot with slanders designed to provoke. Best to just ignore.

Everything I know comes from plastic boxes. Phone, tv, radio and it’s clearly prerecorded cacophony. It’s a storyline so I suppose we’re reading the same book. There’s two sides. If everyone becomes an independent there’ll be less friction I’m guessing. AI won’t know what to do.
Here’s what I know. The watermelon isn’t sweet, eggs are down to 5 dollars from 11 dollars, beef has red dye in it and tastes awful, food is of poor quality, it’s hot and dusty and UV is high, there’s many criminals running around stealing, people are destroying private property and a few other things.
Hey, Anonymous. Some crazy person is anonymously posting under your name!
No sane person could confuse me with that twat.
*. Nor I! It’s AI.
Back to the salacious Epstein storyline, “clients” are clients of Epstein the financier. Madame of the massage parlor also educated at Oxford, Baillol College, just gave information to the AG of those knowledgeable accused by the teenagers. I presume the AG is getting leads for criminal prosecution if any. Perhaps Prince Andrew will be charged? No NDA? It’s a cross reference presuming the wealthy men have been quietly pursued for civil settlement with NDA?
Epstein didn’t keep a client list. The donations received are kept by the receivers Harvard, MIT, Academy of Art etc and are paid from foundations such as the Bill and Hillary foundation, Gates Foundation etc, I think?
Is that correct? Trump made no donations nor received any? RNC? Epstein donations went to democrats? Paltry amount considering these are billionaires.
That’s all AG is doing. There’s no fault. Genuine philanthropic donations can’t be smeared if responsible criminal justice is in place.
IMO
Who are the enemies of the USA? Is it those who welcomed 10’s of millions of illegals, and with them the crime and drugs? Is it those who sexually groom children too young to question their teachers? Is it those who encourage the sterilization of children? Is it those who fight against the reduction of waste and fraud in our government? Is it those who fight against verified citizenship of voters? Or is it those who try to stop and correct the above attacks on our nation?
The Left have shown who they really are. There is nothing further to be discussed with them at this point.
*. OF, correct. There remain vulnerabilities.
‘Anonymous’ of the Darkside.. your words ‘ Trump is a fascist… etc’ reveal how ‘Unhinged, ‘ Delusional, and Dangerous the viewpoint you & Susan Miller espouse is… You both have this TDS fantasy that because Trump is a powerful Leader, he must be a ‘Dictator..’ and ergo must be like Hitler… You both need to go back to school & learn basic History insitead of defending those (like yourselves) who try to manipulate the Truth to your liking, hurting the USA and many of her Citizens. Bravo Prof. Turley for a well written exposure of this TDS style ‘manipulation’ of real History.
Proven liar Geore is back. Just point and laugh at his sad talking points, because he has no value otherwise. Unless of course he could back up his lies about Maxwell and her non-existent testimony, but we all know that he’s not going to do that. Just more blah blah blah lie lie lie with Georgie.
The only question that I raise is whether the deep state will be able to protect its own or will the efforts of this administration finally undo the tangled knot of leeches that have so corrupted our government (and also our nation’s core) OR will business go on as usual.
Trump can make all the deals that are possible, but if he does not clean out the rat’s nest in governments – nationwide – his legacy will ultimately fail.
Clean it out? What do you propose? Line the the “rate” up against a wall and shoot them?
Sounds to me you are the threat to Americans with your insane rhetoric.
MAGA mama huh? Deranged mama.
Hahahaahahhaha, you made a funny!! You’re so good with this (not really). Hey, calling people Nazis and fascists isn’t dangerous rhetoric though, right? I mean, it’s not like some unhinged leftist (but aren’t they all) will try to assassinate somebody because of that kind of talk. Pot calling the kettle back, you loser.
Are you actually that willfully ignorant of said rat’s nest and its need to be destroyed? Now that is truly pathetic rather than funny. The willful ignorance of the prog/left is surely astounding but predictable – much like the willful ignorance of an islamic jihadist flying planes into buildings – actually believing that there are 100 virgins awaiting his ascent into islamic heaven. Yes – you can convince many a tool that there is paradise on the other side if you only deal with the truly low IQ types,
Turley has a penchant for weaving elaborate narratives that resonate with his MAGA audience. It’s quite ironic to observe how many devoted supporters of the MAGA movement launch their conspiracy theories based on the misleading narratives that both Trump and Turley are trying to propagate. This behavior is reminiscent of how the saga surrounding the Epstein files has evolved into the convoluted mess we see today.
The so-called “classified” documents presented as evidence purportedly “prove” a conspiracy aimed at undermining Trump. Additionally, these documents reportedly contain acknowledgments from Republican committees indicating that Russia did, in fact, attempt to interfere in the election in a manner favorable to Trump. This fact underscores one of the reasons why mainstream media outlets have chosen to largely ignore these developments; the narrative is merely a repackaging of old news, dressed up as if it were something groundbreaking and revelatory. Ultimately, it serves as a distraction, artfully diverting public attention away from the ongoing intrigue of the Epstein files scandal.
Regarding Miller’s assertion that MAGA supporters exhibit characteristics akin to wannabe Nazis, there is a compelling argument to be made in her favor. Recent events have manifested evidence that bolsters her claim. A striking example of such evidence was showcased during a Jubilee debate on YouTube, where a group of 20 far-right MAGA enthusiasts engaged with journalist Mehdi Hasan. The blatant racism and overtly white supremacist tendencies exhibited by those on the right were undeniably on full display during this exchange. It was a stark reminder of the alarming currents of old-fashioned white supremacy and racism that continue to permeate parts of the MAGA movement. Miller’s assessment of MAGA supporters was not only valid but was reinforced with a level of disturbing clarity during that debate.
Turley’s attempts to highlight the emerging conspiracy theories fueled by the Trump administration’s efforts to shift the focus away from the Epstein files only exacerbate the situation. While Turley thrives on scandals—often treating them as fodder for his columns—the bias he exhibits, coupled with the probable requirements of his Fox News contract, compel him to produce articles that serve as promotional pieces for Trump’s distraction tactics. This strategy appears to be effective among the less discerning MAGA supporters who frequent this blog, though it fails to resonate with the more astute ones. Those smarter MAGA individuals are increasingly recognizing Trump’s dishonesty and his bizarre necessity to distance himself from his long-time associate and friend, Jeffrey Epstein, who has been embroiled in scandal for years.
poor george
Hypocrisy Alert: Sen. Dick Durbin—Who Blocked Epstein Client List
Hey George, while you’re busy lying, could you get us a link to the Maxwell testimony? You claimed without evidence that she lied “multiple” times under oath, yet it sure looks like she didn’t testify at all, so you’re just lying again. Tell us, why should anyone listen to anything written by a proven liar like youu?
How were you propagated? Someonen urinated into a bottle amd threw it against the wall ,DT hater?
TS:DR
George, Professor Turley is never going to date you.
I hope Ratcliffe is overhauling the screening process so people like John Brennan and Susan Miller are not hired in the future. They system that allowed them to be hired is a failure. Imagine how many more in the CIA are like them. Or worse.
Sen. Feinstein had Brennan’s number way back in 2014, when he denied that the CIA had hacked into her Senate Intelligence Committee computers. Brennan’s lies were contradicted by the CIA’s Inspector General. He was forced to apologize to the Senate. Yet Obama kept this liar on the payroll.
Per The Guardian, “Private apologies are not enough for a defender of torture, the architect of America’s drone program and the most talented liar in Washington. The nation’s top spy needs to go”

If you are a student of cold war history, (or any history for that matter) you know that this sort of insular embedding of cohorts is expected. What is dangerous is when those selecting their team mates are, in addition to being partisans, also anti-American.
Look all the victims of Epstein and his cohorts were women. Who gives a rats A$$ about women, they are there for mens pleasure. That is the MAGA way. We have rich and powerful men to protect. Do not release the Epstein files.
Hahahahahhaha. MAGA MAGA MAGA you’re such a loser. Get some new material, clown.
Would allege and wager to you the biggest name on Epstein list of more than 20 manifested flights would be Clinton. CYAing for that cretin/
“You’d better put some ice on that” — Bill Clinton. Does he count as rich and powerful? Oooh, another own goal!!!
Ano
. Who gives a rats A$$ about women, they are there for mens pleasure.

Bill Clinton is that you?
These people are all suffering from mental illness. Trump Derangement Syndrome is a real illness suffered by individuals who cannot accept the fact that Trump is now President again…
You got facts for that statement? Didn’t think so.
But i do have to add, you comment smacks of derangement too.
Look in the mirror, can you see the rage?
Hahahahahaa, are you really paid for to post this crap? I hope that it’s not much.
Can I back up the statement that Trump is the president? Oh gee, let me think about that one.
Damn are you a loser.
I think TDS is a misnomer – what that mental condition is can be compared to any spoiled toddler being told NO for the first time. Those whom we refer to as TDS sufferers aren’t able to face the fact that a majority of sane adults reject their progressive ideology as a failed, uninformed utopian dreamworld that is unattainable. They are just having a very difficult time realizing that there is no utopia on earth and that nature, especially human nature, will always win out over the most carefully created dreams. Trump is just a symbol for their rejection.
“GEORIGA, LET’S RIDE”
The rallying cry of idiot republicans that don’t even know how to spell.
No one is a better example of idiot than leftists.
Hahahahahah, good one genius. Really high brow!
Aww, Brennan Derangement Syndrome.
Squirrel!
So who goes to jail first??
anyone in jail yet?
Hahahahahaha, oh snap, that’s so hard core! You just DESTROYED everyone. Sweetcakes, the real investigation is just starting. Stay tuned, and you and your treasonous friends may want to dig out that backup passport soon “just in case”. You’re such a loser, and you know it, which just makes your sad commenting all the more pathetic.
Hey CIA, why has this woman not been fired? Come on John Ratcliff, get her away from training agents.
I can olny imagine what she is training them for.
As admin assistants. One can only guess at what deranged thought you entertained.
Hahahahaha, you really nailed him! I mean, who could possibly think that someone who works for the CIA might be involved in the actual professed job that agency. You’re such a genius.
Huh? Fired from what? Did you bother reading the article before commenting? SHE NO LONGER WORKS FOR THE CIA, numbskull, so she can’t be fired from it.
“Miller recently retired but says that she continues to train CIA officers.”
Hahahahahaha, can you even read?? You can’t be this stupid, it’s just not possible.
Hey Moron, is she “training CIA officers” for free? Geez, this gets easier and easier.
This troll really is special, isn’t she, in more ways than one.
Based on the bill and the quack, Brennan is definitely a duck. And not the only one. Follow through, thoroughly and without mercy, 00Blondi
Based on the above information why is she still training CIA people?
Is she? What’s the basis for that? The article links to a 45-minute youtube video. I’m certainly not going to watch it just to find the basis for what even this article says is only her claim.
Thank you for providing additional information on Miller. She should never have been in her position, but of course other including Brennan, Clapper, Comey, McCabe, Strock, Page, Preistap were remarkably unsuited for their jobs, too. The fact that CalTech is giving her a hero award is ludicrous. Can Ratcliffe revoke her security clearance?
Despicable. They throw the monikers of “Hitler” and “NAZI” around like baseball caps at an MLB “Hat Day”, yet now we see that was all Projection! I’ve always said there are Four things Democrats and their media have mastered: Projection, Gaslighting, Lying and Cheating. Now we can add a fourth, Treason!
Correction, “”we can add a fifth”.
Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!
If I may point out, just like the republicans.
Actually, no, not really, not at all. Nice try at a smear though. Two out of five stars, for effort.
Wow. Just wow.
Susan Miller, another stooge along with her stooge boss, John Brennan. Both played well by the stooge master!
See? A career as a stooge can not only be possible but rewarding!
Musical chairs can be a fun game until the music stops. Right now it’s looking like Brennan is the one left standing, and I couldn’t be happier than to see a snake like him do some hard time.
” I couldn’t be happier than to see a snake like him do some hard time.” I would be happier if he turned state’s evidence. And I think he is just that kinda guy.
Agreed, the only defining trait of Brennan is his absolute moral flexibility. He went from voting for a communist, to working for the CIA, to being Bush’s wing man during the second Iraq war, to being a gay pride parade Obama loving tool. People like him will sell out at the drop of a hat.
Stooge? Not at all. Just a cog in a well planned attack on Trump. And look what happened, hindered Trump for 4 years. I call that a success.
A stooge is not defined by “a success”. By definition, the “success” is not the stooge’s but his master’s success.
The difference between Hollywood stooges and Washington DC stooges is the numver: Hollywood only had three.
“unfounded allegations of Russian collusion and influence”
Not only unfounded, but completely disproven. A total lie and fabrication.
Disproven? Got the facts on that allegation please?
Hahahahaha. Since nobody was able to prove a single one of the fake allegations in the phony Clinton-funded “dossier” that counts as disproven to us normal thinking humans.
Where is the peeeeeeeeeeee tape?
Sadly, I think the leftist bots truly do still believe all of the “dossier” lies. It’s tragic to see people so warped by a cult.
Look everyone, we found a true believer!! She’s got more faith than the Pope!!!!! Sweetie, the illegally funded dossier is fake, made up, “user generated” as even the Comey FBI called it. Everyone knows it except maybe for you. The FBI was willing to pay foreign national Steele a million taxpayer bucks to back up literally anything in his crap dossier, and he couldn’t. So, if you want to make a cool million, get on going and prove literally ANYTHING from it. You’re so pathetic it hurts even me to see it.
