American Thinker readers have long known that the Russia Hoax had no grounding in fact but was, instead, the permanent bureaucracy’s effort to remove from office a president who had threatened to clean out the bloated, corrupt, partisan Deep State. The Mueller report, however, even as it exonerated Trump and his associates, was written in such a way as to imply that it exonerated them by the skin of their teeth. Likewise, the report that Inspector General Horowitz wrote about the fraudulent FISA applications that enabled the FBI to spy on the Trump campaign had redacted footnotes that, frustratingly, only hinted at even worse conduct than mere carelessness or bureaucratic arrogance and ineptitude.

At long last, though, William Barr’s Department of Justice is beginning to speed the process of exposing the deep corruption behind the Russia Hoax. It is a level of corruption greater than anything ever seen before in American government. Barr alluded to this when he had his interview with Laura Ingraham, telling her, “I think the president has every right to be frustrated, because I think what happened to him was one of the greatest travesties in American history.”

As part of revealing what really happened, the Department of Justice unmasked previously redacted material in footnotes in the report that Inspector General Michael Horowitz published in December. We also finally learned about George Papadopoulos’s exculpatory statements when he disavowed any knowledge about the hack into the DNC’s emails, exclaiming that trying to get that type of information would have been “illegal.”

Reporter John Solomon, who has long been at the cutting edge of every revelation about the entire Russia hoax, has put together a list of

13 of the most important revelations that undercut the FBI’s predicate for opening an investigation targeting the Trump campaign in July 2016, for obtaining a year’s worth of FISA warrants to spy on former campaign adviser Carter Page and for seeking a special prosecutor, Robert Mueller, to take over and extend the probe.

The list is detailed, well-organized, clearly written, and well-sourced. Anyone who wants to understand just how badly the Obama holdouts in the Deep State behaved should read it. Here are just a few items to whet your appetite:
