The Legacy Media Lied

The Media’s Continued Cover-Up: A Scandal Within the Scandal

Part 2 to The Intelligence Community Lied (July 21, 2025) | JamesKay.online

My July 21 column unmasked declassified ODNI documents, exposing the Obama administration’s fabricated Russian interference narrative to sabotage the 2016 election. December 2016 emails revealed officials admitting no election infrastructure cyberattacks occurred, yet they engineered a tailored assessment, leaked to The Washington Post, crippling Trump’s early presidency. This second part unveils the media’s complicity, a layered scandal amplifying this deceit, now facing potential scrutiny under U.S. Code, Title 18, Chapter 115 and Chapter 63. With Tulsi Gabbard’s new Wednesday evidence poised to illuminate this betrayal, pursue truth relentlessly, as our Republic demands accountability.

The media escalated a political falsehood into a national crisis, shattering public trust. Eddie Scarry’s Federalist exposé and Aaron Maté’s RealClearInvestigations analysis reveal James Comey and John Brennan’s suppression of Steele dossier doubts to sustain a baseless hoax. Matt Taibbi’s Racket News uncovers Hillary Clinton’s calculated order to spread Trump-Russia disinformation, enabled by FBI and CIA under Obama’s oversight. Thomas Baker foresees historic reckoning for these figures, bolstered by Kevin McCullough’s Townhall demand for Obama’s testimony and Gabbard’s critique in RedState’s Levon Satamian. Matt Vespa and Matt Margolis signal Gabbard’s new evidence will unmask the “cover-up,” yet legacy media remains mute. Outlets claimed Pulitzers in 2017-2018 for Russiagate, ignoring ODNI’s no vote-tampering evidence. PMC studies and a Time magazine collage expose Democratic bias, branding dissenters “conspiracy theorists,” a tactic enduring today.

Ken Dilanian’s NBC article on July 22, titled “Trump’s intelligence chiefs try to rewrite history of 2016 election,” epitomizes this deceit, labeling Gabbard’s report a “Trump-driven revision” while citing a 2020 Senate probe and CIA review. ODNI emails confirm no vote-tampering evidence, a truth Dilanian dismisses as “political.” His “bipartisan consensus” crumbles against ODNI’s evidence of narrative-shaping, not truth-seeking. Dilanian ignores the Steele dossier’s discredited status-Maté confirms Comey and Brennan buried doubts-repeating a debunked tale. This shields Comey, Brennan, Clinton, and Obama, bypassing the December 9, 2016, meeting ordering a “tools Moscow used” narrative, as ODNI documents prove, a silence echoed by CNN and MSNBC.

This deception, surpassing the WMD intelligence failure, shapes public opinion, necessitating legal scrutiny under U.S. Code, Title 18, Chapter 115, Chapter 63, and related statutes:

  • Section 2381 (Treason): Whoever, owing allegiance to the U.S., gives aid and comfort to enemies faces death or imprisonment of at least five years and fines of $10,000 or more; subverting an election with fabricated intelligence, amplified by media, could implicate figures like Obama and Dilanian in aiding Russia’s influence.
  • Section 2382 (Misprision of Treason): Concealing known treason incurs up to seven years’ imprisonment; media leaders aware of ODNI findings but hiding them, like Dilanian’s “political” dismissal, risk this charge.
  • Section 2384 (Seditious Conspiracy): Conspiring to overthrow or oppose the U.S. government by force carries up to twenty years; a plot by Obama, Clinton, Comey, Brennan, and media to undermine Trump’s mandate fits, backed by ODNI files and Taibbi’s report.
  • Section 2385 (Advocating Overthrow): Advocating government overthrow by force risks twenty years; media depicting Trump as a Russian puppet, as Dilanian does, could fuel unrest, abetting this crime.
  • Section 1343 (Wire Fraud): Transmitting false narratives, like Russiagate, via wire, radio, or television to defraud the public of truthful information carries up to twenty years; media outlets, like NBC, knowingly spreading disinformation for viewership or political gain, as Dilanian’s article exemplifies, risk this charge.

These statutes, protecting national sovereignty, echo Nuremberg’s prosecution of propagandists like Hans Fritzsche for false narratives. ODNI data contradicts media claims, yet they shield Comey to Obama. Pulitzers in 2017-2018 ignored ODNI contradictions, risking figures like Dilanian, Dean Baquet, and Jeff Zucker. Gabbard’s latest evidence may spark investigations, linking media to the plot, while McCullough’s subpoena call and public demand could ignite 2026. Baker predicts historic judgment as independent voices eclipse mainstream media.
