(DCNF)—MSNBC host Rachel Maddow predicted American allies would stop sharing intelligence due to America “switching sides” to favor Russia early Wednesday morning shortly before former President Donald Trump clinched the presidency.
Former President Donald Trump won reelection, with Fox News predicting he had secured the necessary 270 electoral votes to secure the presidency early Wednesday morning. Maddow said that Trump would be “supporting Russia” in its war with Ukraine.
“Intelligence sharing between America and our traditional allies is likely going to end. The whole five eyes thing is likely going to end,” Maddow claimed. “If you’ve got America switching sides in the Ukraine-Russia war to instead support Russia or to become neutral, which means in this case would be to support Russia.”
“If you’ve got ongoing secret communications even out of government between the Republican nominee and the person who funded his campaign and led his ground game, right?” Maddow continued. “Both of whom are communicating with the Russian government without reporting that information to the U.S. government, and on top of that, you’ve got reporting from the New York Times that they’re considering once there is a second Trump administration, if it happens, to stop performing background checks before giving people security clearance, meaning giving classified information to anyone.”
MSNBC hosts and guests routinely hyped the claims that Trump’s 2016 campaign colluded with the Russian government to defeat former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and repeatedly had Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff of California, who often made claims about alleged collusion between the 2016 Trump campaign and Russia, on the air. The Steele Dossier, which was used to further allegations of collusion, was later discredited.
“That’s supposedly at the instigation of a Trump campaign official who was born in Moscow, who was unable to get a security clearance in the first Trump term, who has had multiple arrests and is reportedly on top of a short list to be White House counsel and he is the one who proposed to get rid of all background checks for security clearances, which means handing out classified information on the corner,” Maddow said.
“You are not going to have American allies who have been relying on us as the pinnacle intelligence agency in the world since World War II,” Maddow continued. “You are not going to have continued sharing of information with a new administration that has an open line with Vladimir Putin and that is going to essentially be willing to handle classified information the way the man who was indicted for handling it the way he did it at Mar-a-Lago at the top, and with handling security clearances the way they’ve been reportedly described.”
Special counsel Jack Smith unsealed a superseding indictment on July 27, 2023, that included charges against Carlos De Oliveira, a maintenance worker at Mar-a-Lago, the Florida estate owned by Trump after the special counsel initially secured a 37-count indictment against Trump and aide Walter Nauta the previous June.

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,

SHE IS TOTALLY IRRELEVANT!
No more Five Eyes sounds like a dream come true. A win for freedom. Restoration of the 4th amendment.
Maddow is clueless on how world governments work. FVEYs will not cease to exist, nor will NATO, unfortunately. The US should never have taken part in the Ukraine conflict except to find a path to ensuring peace. Zalinsky should never have courted NATO which is what provoked Putin. Our tax dollars should NEVER have been sent without the permission of the American taxpayer!
she is lying scum
This angry, ugly little boy needs to go back on meds.
This stupid bimbo has Russian cockroaches running around in her empty skull.
In her empty undies….LOL
Does she hear herself? Does she not see the rejection of the lies we have been fed repeatedly over the years despite the debunking? They are truly delusional. This is a huge wakeup call and they continue to deny,lie and spread false news. No self reflection. No self awareness. No honesty. That is why they are where they are. Not to mention the dismissal of our worries,lack of law,accountability,their radical agendas, and total disrespect of anyone with a differing thought or view.
Why in God’s Name would this crazy woman be worried about the handling of classified information during Presidential Election coverage? There is something sinister behind this, but I can’t figure it out!
Put this dike in the gulag.
👹🔫
Maddow is clearly a nutcase suffering a severe case of Trump Derangement Syndrome. She needs help and I hope she gets it soon.
After all this time, she still think she matters. Weird.
Rachel is an asshole!
Lunacy on parade!
It’s just hard to fathom a shill like Maddcow still has an audience. Over and over again, her hyperbole has been proved to be just communist propaganda.
Rachel who?
Now everyone knows why she is call Rachel Madcow…
Spoken like the CIA stooge she is
