The release of declassified material has shed new light on the creation of the Russian collusion investigation and many of the names are crushingly familiar. Indeed, Congress is moving to "round up the usual suspects" in light of the new revelations. It is the story of the real Russian conspiracy: how high-ranking officials in the Obama Administration seeded this false claim with the help of an eager, unquestioning press corps.OBAMA-ERA OFFICIALS MUM ON ALLEGATIONS OF 'MANUFACTURED' INTELLIGENCE LAUNCHING TRUMP-RUSSIA PROBENot surprisingly, the media, which spent years repeating the false Russian collusion claims, is doing a full-court press to kill the story. Yet, many of these key figures are retaining counsel in anticipation of the unfolding investigation. Many previouslysecured contracts with MSNBC or CNN, or book deals, where they doubled down on the false claims detailed in these new documents. Here are just a few of the usual suspects:Brennan is arguably the most at risk in the new disclosures, which appear to contradict his prior testimony before Congress. On May 23, 2017, Brennan testified that the infamous Steele dossier "wasnt part of the corpus of intelligence information that we had. It was not in any way used as a basis for the Intelligence Community Assessment that was done."However, the new material shows that Brennan was the key figure insisting on the inclusion of the Steele dossier in an intelligence assessment, suggesting that the Russians did influence the election in favor of Trump.Brennan not only intervened to include the dossier but overruled the CIAs two most senior Russia experts, who said it "did not meet even the most basic tradecraft standards." One analyst recounted how "[Brennan] refused to remove it, and when confronted with the dossiers main flaws, responded, Yes, but doesnt it ring true?"Notably, it was Brennan who briefed Obama in 2016 about Hillary Clinton's plan to create a Russian conspiracy "to vilify Donald Trump by stirring up a scandal claiming interference by the Russian security service." Months later, it would be Brennan who actively incorporated the dossier secretly funded by Clinton's campaign.James Clapper, former DNI under Obama, is expecting the worst and said that he has "lawyered up." Clapper was in the briefing in July 2016 when Obama was told that Clinton was planning to create a Russian conspiracy narrative. In November 2016, Clapper received an assessment from the intelligence community that Russia was "probably not trying to influence the election by using cyber means." He also received talking points from staff on Dec. 7, 2016, "Foreign adversaries did not use cyberattacks on election infrastructure to alter the US Presidential election outcome."On Dec. 9, 2016, another report stated that "Russian and criminal actors did not impact recent U.S. election results by conducting malicious cyber activities against election infrastructure." That Presidential Daily Brief was scheduled to be published on Dec. 9, but CDNI Clappers office stopped its publication "based on some new guidance."Clapper later joined Obama with Brennan, Susan Rice, John Kerry, Loretta Lynch, Andrew McCabe and others, in a meeting where a new assessment was ordered that would detailthe "tools Moscow used and actions it took to influence the 2016 election." Brennan then reportedly handpicked the analysts who seemed to flip the earlier assessments without any credible intelligence.In a 2018 interview with the Harvard Gazette, Clapper continued to spread the false narrative, referring to the high-confidence judgment that "Putin directly ordered the hacking and election interference." He added, "I think they [Russians] actually influenced the outcome."Clapper later added to his tarnished legacy by signing the letter with more than 50 former intelligence officials dismissing the Hunter Bidenlaptop story before the 2020 presidential election as having the [hall]marks of "Russian disinformation."James Comey would use this contrived intelligence to green-light the investigations that overwhelmed the first Trump term. The FBI was aware early that the Steele dossier was an unreliable political hit job funded by the Clinton campaign. Moreover, the CIA told the FBI that Trump associate Carter Page was a U.S. intelligence asset, not a Russian spy.The FBI ignored such countervailing intelligence, violated protocols, and lied to a federal court to maintain the Russian investigation.In an interview with Fox's Bret Baier, Comey was asked about the lack of evidence of "Russian collusion." Comey dismissed the question by saying "collusion's not a word that I'm familiar with." Putting aside the lunacy of that statement, Comey then says the question is whether Americans were "in cahoots with the foreign intelligence activities." It appears "cahoots" is a word he is familiar with.He then denied knowing, in April 2018, that the Clinton campaign had funded the report. Comey routinely seems unfamiliar with terms or facts that contradicted his investigating Trump, even years later.Comey repeatedly testified to a lack of memory on key decisions made in the Russian investigation.However, documents show that it was Comey who pushed back on a planned statement by Clapper, stating that they had not determined the dossier to be reliable.Andrew McCabe, now a CNN contributor, was fired after career Justice Department officials found that the former acting FBI director not only lied to investigators but deserved to be fired. That recommendation was reportedly embraced by the career officials in the inspector generals office. He was accused of lying four times, including twice under oath. Not surprisingly, McCabe makes appearances in the new disclosures. He is not only present at critical meetings, but it also appears that McCabe was allegedly responsible for blocking congressional investigators from interviewing the FBI analysts who supported Brennan and drafters of the controversial ICA. Congress alleged that at least 30 FBI employees associated with the dossier were walled off by McCabe.These and other names are not new. As the media was spreading the false narrative of Russian collusion, many of these figures knew that there was no evidence of such collusion. They said nothing.CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINIONInstead, after Obama ordered a new assessment effectively flipping the conclusions of the earlier assessment, anonymous sources leaked the false narrative to the media, which eagerly ran with the story.While leaks of the false narrative were rampant, none of the actual facts were leaked to the media. In the meantime, figures like then Rep. Adam Schiff, now a Democratic senator from California, continued to claim, even after Special Counsel Robert Mueller rejected evidence of collusion, that he had secret evidence to the contrary in the House Intelligence Committee. Schiff never revealed that evidence, and the public now knows that the intelligence community rejected the collusion claims from the outset.The public is now learning about the real Russian conspiracy and its key players. It was the most infamous -- and successful -- political hit job in history. The same media that pushed the false claims are now, again, imposing a news blackout as they did with the Hunter Biden laptop. The problem is that the truth, like water, tends to find a way out. That trickle just turned into a flood for the architects of the Russian collusion hoax.CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM JONATHAN TURLEY

President Donald Trump made a pit stop at his Turnberry course in Scotland Saturday during his trip overseas.Trump landed in Scotland Friday for a five-day trip, and he is scheduled to visit his golf resort in Aberdee and meet with British Prime Minister Kier Starmer and the head of the Scottish government, First Minister John Swinney.Trump and son Eric played with U.S. Ambassador to Britain Warren Stephens.The president posted a video montage of several of his shots from his round at Turnberry and captioned it with a quote about the famed course he attributed to golf legend Gary Player.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM"The Great Gary Player: Turnberry is, without a question, in the Top Five Greatest Golf Courses Ive ever played in my 73 years as a Pro." Thank you, Gary!"Trump wrote on Truth Social.The course hosted four Open Championships (1977, 1986, 1994 and 2009), but after the Capitol Riots in 2021, the Royal and Ancient (R&A) Golf Club announced that the Open Championship would not return there "until were confident that any coverage at Turnberry would be about golf, about the golf course and about the championship."Hundreds of demonstrators gathered on the cobblestone and tree-lined street in front of the U.S. Consulate about 100 miles away in Edinburgh, Scotland's capital. Speakers told the crowd Trump was not welcome and criticized Starmer for striking a recent trade deal to avoid stiff U.S. tariffs on goods imported from the U.K.COLLIN MORIKAWA SAYS 'YOU CAN'T SKIP OVER' LIV STAR FOR RYDER CUP TEAMPlayer, who has won two Senior Open Championships at the course, pleaded with the R&A to reverse course last year and praised the resort."It must come back. Fairness in life. Some might say Donald Trump did what about every other President? They all did something wrong. Not only Donald Trump. Every one of them. It says in the Bible: Forgive us of our trespasses as we forgive them that trespass against us," Player said."Its wrong and it's cruel and it's unfair not to have The Open go back to Turnberry because it's the best golf course. That and Carnoustie. Carnoustie and Trump Turnberry are the two best golf courses in Scotland."A report earlier this year said the PGA Tour will be returning to Trump Doral next year for the first time since 2016, months before he became president for the first time. Trump bought the Turnberry resort for $60 million in 2014.The last professional golf tournament to be held at Turnberry was the 2015 Women's British Open, won by Inbee Park. It has hosted seven Senior Open Championships, most recently in 2012.The four Open Championships were won by Tom Watson, Greg Norman, Nick Price and Stewart Cink.The Associated Press contributed to this report.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X,and subscribe tothe Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

Aaron Rodgers is apparently a big fan of uninterrupted sleep, and that has prompted an odd rule for his roommate, DK Metcalf.The two are sharing a dorm separated by a shared bathroom at Saint Vincent College forPittsburgh Steelers training camp, which began earlier this week. And while the pairing is a way for the two to build a connection off the field, it comes with stipulations."The toilet is super loud," Metcalf toldYahoo Sports Thursday.

I was like, All right, bet."CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEW.COMMetcalf told the outlet that, on Wednesday night, he sent Rodgers a text saying, "You asleep yet?" after feeling the urge. Rodgers responded that he was still awake.

"I got DK as my suitemate, so were sharing a toilet and a shower. But I love this idea, this opportunity to be out here and to stay here and connect with the guys."The four-time league MVP said he was relieved to get paired with Metcalf, adding he "was secretly kind of hoping it wasnt a big lineman or something, maybe somebody that cared about their hygiene a little bit."Rodgers opened training camp this week with an interception on his first pass, but the veteranNFL player remained optimistic about the teams chances this season."Theres going to be picks, for sure. Im going to try to fit certain things in. You gotta deal with some sweat on the ball from time to time. So, its going to be a good challenge for me throwing in this heat every single day. I look forward to it, but I'm gonna throw some picks. But I'm gonna throw some touchdowns, too."Rodgers added that there are around 10 to 12 teams that have a "legitimate" chance at winning the Super Bowl, and he believes at least "on paper" that the Steelers are one of them.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X, and subscribe tothe Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
