The Spin
Republican narrative
For years, Americans were misled about the Obama administration's illegal spying on President Trump. Fortunately, Kash Patel's leadership has led not only to the discovery of the truth of this hoax, but the lengths to which the deep state went to keep their crimes hidden. The declassified evidence reveals a coordinated effort to undermine Trump, finally putting to bed any doubt that this was a political witch hunt.
Democratic narrative
The Trump-Russia investigation was not an illegal hoax but a rigorous response to Russia's 2016 election interference, as confirmed by multiple reviews, including Durham's probe and a bipartisan Senate probe. Claims of an Obama-led conspiracy are baseless; the intelligence community's findings, free of political pressure, confirmed Russia's campaign to aid Trump, not collusion. Trump's intelligence officials are the ones politicizing this.
