The left's reaction to Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard's continual document releases just keeps getting better. While Tulsi continues to hoist former Clinton and Obama officials and allies up on their own petards, the hoistees are casting about for ways to deflect the damage.
In one such move, James Clapper and John Brennan, two of the architects of the Russian collusion lie, took to the friendly New York Times to defend themselves. The ink was scarcely dry before they were being torched in the new media - you know, the media outlets and opinion writers that aren't a de facto arm of the Democrat party.
James Clapper and John Brennan penned an op-ed in The New York Times defending their Russian collusion hoax peddling. Do these men have no shame? It’s a rhetorical question. Of course, they don’t. But the piece was published before the release of the declassified annex of the Durham report, which investigated the origins of the Russian collusion hoax, and it’s been burned to ash. I don’t know what these guys were thinking—this game is over. We know what you did, and how you did it. The only lingering question is when FBI agents arrive at your homes and cuff you, which would make a most satisfying sight.
My cynical streak, which runs approximately the width of the Mississippi River, wants to say that there won't be any perp-walks down front sidewalks, delightful as that might be. Lucy has yanked that football away from us too many times; there have been too many scandals wherein the people at these levels, a given administration's Top Men, just walked away. Watergate was the last time any real consequences were meted out to anyone above the flunky level in the federal government. I'd love to be wrong about this, and I'll grant you that we're seeing some unprecedented moves here, like these very document dumps - sunshine is indeed the best disinfectant, and Tulsi Gabbard seems determined to disinfect everything.
Back to that Clapper/Brennan op-ed; some X wags are already piling on:

And as we can see, from those stories and others around the ongoing flood of declassifications, the hits just keep coming, and the Clinton/Obama creatures who perpetrated this fraud can't keep dissembling forever; it's becoming so obvious that Brennan, Clapper et al are lying, that one would be embarrassed for them, if it wasn't just so... satisfying to watch them flail.
Most of it is a recycling of fiction, a reloading of the myth that there was Russian collusion. Brennan and Clapper insist that there is no conspiracy. The documents say otherwise. Brennan had no credible source that Moscow wanted Trump to win. To the contrary, they couldn’t care less but felt Hillary Clinton would win the 2016 election. They had nothing on Trump—no blackmail file. They did have dirt on Clinton, however. Two of the Obama administration’s most shameless and eloquent liars are doing it again, and it’s no shock that The New York Times greenlit this laughable piece. And yes, they did pressure analysts to sign off on their fiction.
We've seen it all. We've brought you the documents. They're available, right now, all day, every day, for any American with an internet connection and a modicum of curiosity, to look at for his or herself. Tulsi Gabbard is hanging them with their own words, and it's glorious.
The Deep State will keep fighting. They'll keep lying. They'll keep denying. But each of these doc dumps is another torpedo below the waterline, and they can't keep taking these hits forever.
