CIA Coup? US IC's Fingerprints All Over Trump Impeachment Op & JFK Assassination – RPI Director

It is not the first time that the US intelligence community has gone after an elected American president, says the Executive Director of the 'Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Prosperity' Daniel McAdams, referring to repeated attempts by FBI and CIA officials to undermine Donald Trump and his team.

On 30 September, Dr Ron Paul, an American author, physician and United States presidential candidate in 1988, 2008, and 2012, questioned whether the recent impeachment inquiry announced by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was nothing short of a CIA coup.

"It may appear that the Democratic Party, furious over Hillary Clinton’s 2016 loss, is the driving force behind this ongoing attempt to remove Donald Trump from office, but at every turn we see the fingerprints of the CIA and its allies in the US deep state," the retired politician wrote in his weekly column.

According to Dr Paul, one could notice a clear pattern in an August 2016 op-ed by former CIA Acting Director Mike Morell accusing Trump of being a "Russian agent" and former CIA director John Brennan's labelling the US president's behaviour during the talks with his Russian counterpart as "treasonous" in July 2018.

However, Special Counsel Robert Mueller's two-year long investigation found no evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign proving Morell and Brennan's claims to be false. Likewise, the recent complaint by a whistleblower, who is believed to be an intelligence agent assigned to the White House, has triggered controversy, especially given that he or she "was not a direct witness to most of the events described."
