(The Post Millennial)—President Donald Trump has ordered the immediate declassification of all FBI documents related to the Russia hoax investigation.
“This gives the media the right to go in and check it. You probably won’t bother ’cause you’re not gonna like what you see,” Trump said on Tuesday. “This was total weaponization. It’s a disgrace. It should never happen in this country. But now you’ll be able to see for yourselves, all declassified.”
The decision follows demands from Republican senators last week for the FBI and Department of Justice to release documents related to the investigation, which they argue will “expose corruption” within the agencies.
Crossfire Hurricane was launched by the FBI in 2016 to investigate alleged ties between Trump’s campaign and Russia. However, a special counsel investigation led by John Durham found that the probe was based on false information. Durham’s 2023 report concluded that the FBI lacked sufficient “factual evidence” to justify the investigation and that both the FBI and DOJ “failed to uphold their mission of strict fidelity to the law.”
“Neither US law enforcement nor the Intelligence Community appears to have possessed any actual evidence of collusion in their holdings at the commencement of the Crossfire Hurricane investigation,” Durham wrote in his over 300-page report.
Independent Journalism Is Dying
Ever since President Trump’s miraculous victory, we’ve heard an incessant drumbeat about how legacy media is dying. This is true. The people have awakened to the reality that they’re being lied to by the self-proclaimed “Arbiters of Truth” for the sake of political expediency, corporate self-protection, and globalist ambitions.
But even as independent journalism rises to fill the void left by legacy media, there is still a huge challenge. Those at the top of independent media like Joe Rogan, Dan Bongino, and Tucker Carlson are thriving and rightly so. They have earned their audience and the financial rewards that come from it. They’ve taken risks and worked hard to get to where they are.
For “the rest of us,” legacy media and their proxies are making it exceptionally difficult to survive, let alone thrive. They still have a stranglehold over the “fact checkers” who have a dramatic impact on readership and viewership. YouTube, Facebook, and Google still stifle us. The freer speech platforms like Rumble and 𝕏 can only reward so many of their popular content creators. For independent journalists on the outside looking in, our only recourse is to rely on affiliates and sponsors.
But even as it seems nearly impossible to make a living, there are blessings that should not be disregarded. By highlighting strong sponsors who share our America First worldview, we have been able to make lifelong connections and even a bit of revenue to help us along. This is why we enjoy symbiotic relationships with companies like MyPillow, Jase Medical, and Promised Grounds. We help them with our recommendations and they reward us with money when our audience buys from them.
The same can be said about our preparedness sponsor, Prepper All-Naturals. Their long-term storage beef has a 25-year shelf life and is made with one ingredient: All-American Beef.
Even our faith-driven precious metals sponsor helps us tremendously while also helping Americans protect their life’s savings. We are blessed to work with them.
Independent media is the future. In many ways, that future is already here. While the phrase, “the more the merrier,” does not apply to this business because there are still some bad actors in the independent media field, there are many great ones that do not get nearly enough attention. We hope to change that one content creator at a time.
Thank you and God Bless,
