Vice President JD Vance delivered a blistering condemnation of the architects behind the Russiagate hoax, declaring that indictments are coming for those who weaponized the intelligence community against President Donald Trump. In a powerful interview on Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo, Vance left no doubt that the Biden-era deep state operatives who orchestrated the Russia collusion lie will face justice. “Absolutely, Maria. Look, of course you’ve got to have the law follow the facts here,” Vance stated. “You don’t just indict people to indict people, you indict people because they broke the law.”
The bombshell revelations from Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and FBI Director Kash Patel have exposed what Vance called “aggressive violations of the law”—a coordinated effort by Obama-era officials to sabotage Trump’s presidency from day one. “What they basically did was they defrauded the American people in order to take Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign talking points and turn them into intelligence,” Vance explained. “They took something that supported a Hillary Clinton campaign talking point, and they would overemphasize it and exaggerate it. They took anything that actually contradicted that narrative, and they buried it deep.”
This wasn’t just political dirty tricks—it was a full-blown conspiracy to undermine democracy. The now-discredited Steele Dossier, funded by the Clinton campaign and laundered through the FBI, became the foundation for years of media hysteria and illegal surveillance of Trump associates. Special Counsel John Durham’s 2023 report confirmed what conservatives had long argued: The FBI “did not and could not corroborate” the dossier’s wild claims, yet they used it anyway to spy on Carter Page and others. Even FBI analyst Brian Auten admitted under oath that Steele was offered $1 million to verify his fabricated allegations—but he never could.
The liberal media, of course, played a starring role in this sham. CNN, MSNBC, and their allies breathlessly pushed the Russia collusion narrative for years, treating Steele’s debunked dossier as gospel while smearing Trump as a Kremlin puppet. Meanwhile, the real scandal—the weaponization of intelligence agencies against a sitting president—was ignored or dismissed as a “conspiracy theory.” Now, the truth is finally coming to light, and Vance made it clear that accountability is non-negotiable. “I absolutely think they broke the law. You’re going to see a lot of people get indicted for that,” he warned.
Vance also highlighted the broader damage done by this scheme. “Here’s the thing that should really bother the American people: What do you want our intelligence community to be doing? I want them to be catching bad guys. I want them to be making sure that terrorists aren’t going to kill innocent civilians,” he said. “I don’t want them laundering Hillary Clinton’s campaign talking points into the American media and giving them this air of legitimacy.”
The Clinton campaign and DNC were already fined by the FEC for their role in funding the Steele Dossier, but Vance’s comments suggest far bigger consequences are coming. For years, the left mocked Trump’s calls to “drain the swamp.” Now, with Trump back in the White House and a fearless team like Vance, Gabbard, and Patel leading the charge, the swamp creatures who conspired against America are finally facing their reckoning.
