Before there were the Seditious Six, there was the Committee to Investigate Russia (CIR), a nonprofit group co-founded in 2017 by the late Rob Reiner, focused on propagating the claim that the Russians interfered in the 2016 US elections and that Donald Trump was “Putin’s Puppet”.

CIR’s advisory board included former intelligence officials, such as James Clapper (Obama’s former Director of National Intelligence) and Michael Morell (Obama’s former acting CIA Director).

Reiner is seen in this CIR-produced video in 2018 with James Clapper and former CIA Director John Brennan, moderating a discussion about the “threat to democracy” posed by Donald Trump.

It is breathtaking to watch these three clowns – supposed heavies in their respective fields – stooping so low in the production of this PR campaign to influence the opinion of Americans that Donald Trump was a “Russian Agent”.

Brennan, Clapper and Morell and 49 other “Spies Who Lied” returned in 2020 with another PSYOP, flasely claiming that Hunter Biden’s Laptop from Hell was “Russian Disinformation” - some of them, while they were on the CIA’s payroll.

James Clapper has been caught lying to the public many times. Attorney Jonathan Turley, for one thinks he should be charged with perjury for lying about leaking the phony “Pee-Pee Dossier” information to the media.
