Angry Boxed-Wine Connoisseur AWFL Says She's Totally Proud to Have Written the ICA and the "Steele Dossier" Might Be True

A Brennan stooge named Susan Miller was recruited to write up RussiaGate "reports" which ultimately served as the foundation of the ICA that kicked off RussiaGate.

Actually she claims to have written the ICA itself, which seems to be, what's the word, a lie. But more on that later.

She has now re-emerged to claim that all of her sexless partisan fantasies about Trump and Putin might have, maybe, been halfway true.

The retired CIA spy who says she led the team that helped draft the controversial 2016 U.S. intelligence community assessment on Russian election meddling has called Donald Trump a "dictator" and MAGA supporters "Nazis" -- and insists that the now-discredited Steele dossier "might be true."

Susan Miller, a recently-retired CIA counterintelligence officer, has taken to social media and news media interviews in recent days to tell the story of how she was allegedly hand-picked by former CIA Director John Brennan to lead the team which helped draft the ICA in late 2016, gleefully exposing her anti-Trump sentiments.

She has repeatedly suggested that Trump might be a "Russian asset" or a "Kremlin asset" without providing any evidence, despite recent reports showing that calmer, less politically-driven voices in the intelligence community at the time cast doubt on such allegations, but were squelched by Brennan.

No proof, but it "might" be true?

Miller has also repeatedly claimed in recent weeks that British ex-spy Christopher Steele's anti-Trump dossier might be true, despite the dossier having been thoroughly discredited for years now by a special prosecutor, congressional probes, and even the CIA itself.

She has also claimed that some officials inside the CIA -- whom she refused to name -- had wanted her ICA team to declare that Trump's win was illegitimate due to Russian meddling. She has admitted that although the ICA did not come to that conclusion, she has suggested that her team may have been able to reach that finding if it had been able to poll every single voter to see if they had been swayed by Russian meddling.

According to the University of California at Santa Barbara, 136,787,187 people voted in the 2016 election.

Miller has also sent mixed messages, saying that the ICA team had found "no collusion" when they were writing their assessment in late 2016, and even claimed that this "no collusion" finding was made clear in the ICA. In fact, the ICA's major reference to collusion was a direct citation to a two-page annex on the Steele dossier.

The 2016 ICA was written at the direction of President Barack Obama and largely overseen by Brennan, then-Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, and since-fired FBI Director James Comey. It was finished in December 2016, with a publicly declassified version released in early January 2017 and a more extensive classified version declassified and released last week.

...

Miller has also said she doesn't remember basic facts about the ICA timeline, including when Trump was first elected and when the CIA and her ICA team allegedly first received purportedly key intelligence about Putin's motivations. Miller even forgot whether the intelligence had come in before or after Trump's win.

She also couldn't remember if the ICA team she says she led had access to intelligence on a personal directive from Putin himself or not.

Miller decried Ratcliffe's lessons-learned review as a political hit job and claimed that none of it was true, before admitting that key allegations in Ratcliffe's report, including about Brennan insisting that the dossier be included in the ICA, were probably accurate.

She doesn't remember much about the twisting of intelligence, but she is absolutely sure that all criticisms of it are invalid.

...

Miller has used her LinkedIn account to repeatedly attack Trump since leaving the CIA last year.

The New York Times wrote an article in May titled, "FBI Dismantles Elite Public Corruption Squad." Miller's response on LinkedIn? "This is awful! Further proof that Trump is a dictator."

Miller also supported analogies between Trump and Adolf Hitler. An ABC News article from February said that "The Diplomatic Security Service is being targeted for firings. Why that matters: Analysis." A commenter from the United Kingdom said, "I'm just a Brit (you know, that little island off the coast of Europe that stood up to Hitler) but I have to say that harming DSS would be equivalent to shooting yourself in the foot." Miller replied, "Yes....the Hitler analogy is not lost on a bunch of us.....sadly...."

Much more at the article. This woman is clearly a lunatic.

She's also a liar. When JustTheNews contacted her to ask about her clear anti-Trump bias, she claimed she was actually a Republican who was "pro-Trump" and actually voted for Trump.

She... voted for Trump in 2016? And then a month later wrote memos accusing him of being a Russian agent and a reincarnated Hitler?

No, you're a liar and mentally unwell. If she "voted for Trump," then she did so in a primary because Democrats believed Trump would be easy to defeat in the general.

She looks just like you'd expect: Not like a happy, pretty Republican woman who has good relations with men, but an angry, masculine wine-box-demolshing harpy whose husband decided he couldn't take her any longer so now she's going to get Revenge On ALL the Men.

It even turns out that she's lying when she repeatedly claims to have written the ICA itself.

She actually didn't. She's just resorting to that beloved tactic of leftwing power-mad women, Resume Padding.

In response to last week's damning official document release about a now-infamous intelligence document that helped launch years of Russiagate madness, CNN wrote:

Retired CIA official Susan Miller, an author of the agency's 2017 intelligence report on Russian election meddling...

No, she's not.

"Not an author. Not involved," says a senior intelligence official.

"There's a chance she's on some emails or something like that," adds another person familiar with the investigation. "But she's not the author of the ICA... she wasn't leading this effort. So it's just totally bizarre that she claims the opposite."

As if Russiagate weren't a weird enough story already, the sudden appearance of mysterious former CIA officer Susan Miller in a high-profile media campaign reduces the affair to a freak show. In a story about one of the most elaborate media frauds in history, in which the CIA used phony intelligence to prop up a rushed report insisting Russian President Vladimir Putin meddled in the 2016 election on behalf of Donald Trump, it's only fitting that the person leading the media defense of the original intelligence is not an author of the report in question and may not be significantly involved at all.

In a detail Jonathan Swift might have written, Miller is set to receive the Hidden Hero Award in November from the International Spy Museum in Washington, given to the official who makes "outsized contributions to the intelligence community." Racket made multiple attempts to ask Miller about her role with the ICA. She did not respond.

However, we were about to go to press when Joe MacKinnon of Blaze media excellently beat us to the punch on this story. MacKinnon received an amusing two-part response from Miller. First:

My team and I at CIA wrote a CIA analysis about Russian influence on the election.

Second:

This was a CIA report, briefed to Trump by our then-director, and by me to the Senate and congressional intelligence committees. The DNI used that report as the basis for the ICA... I indeed did not write the ICA, but the ODNI used my report as the basis for theirs.

That's not even a non-denial denial. It's an oops.

Why lie? Well, all of these grifters now rely on partisan payoffs, and there's a big difference in the Grifter Potential between someone who just worked at the CIA during RussiaGate and someone who "wrote the ICA" accusing Trump of being a Soviet spy.
