GREGG JARRETT: Trump was framed by the Russia collusion hoax. Now the whole story is exposed

PROGRAMMING ALERT: Watch the Fox Nation three-part documentary series, “Russia! Russia! Russia! The Plot to Stop Trump.” All three episodes premiere on Fox’s streaming network on Monday, Oct. 12, 2026.

It was the dirtiest trick ever perpetrated in politics that produced the greatest mass delusion in American history. It was a faux scandal and an epic con job, corrupt from the outset.

Fox Nation has produced a remarkable three-part documentary series, “Russia! Russia! Russia! The Plot to Stop Trump.” All three episodes premiere on Fox’s streaming network on Monday, Oct. 12, 2026. It tells the gripping story of lies and lying people.

The damning narrative that Donald Trump somehow colluded with Russia to steal the 2016 presidential election, you’ll recall, consumed the media landscape for more than two years and dominated political discourse. It nearly brought down a duly elected president.

GREGG JARRETT: LONG-HIDDEN DOCUMENTS REVEAL FIRST TRUMP IMPEACHMENT WAS A TOTAL FRAUD

So stunning was the abuse of power that this series must be seen to be believed. It is based on troves of recently disclosed government records and other declassified documents.

The pernicious lie that Donald Trump conspired with Russia’s Vladimir Putin in the bowels of the Kremlin to tamper with the election was the brainchild of Hillary Clinton’s campaign team.

Without a shred of credible evidence, Trump was convicted in the court of public opinion by Democrats and their handmaidens in the press who never bothered to uncover the truth or examine the facts. Such trivialities did not stop them from promising Americans that the newly elected president was surely guilty and would be wrested from the Oval Office on his way to prison.

The pernicious lie that Trump conspired with Vladimir Putin in the bowels of the Kremlin to tamper with the election was the brainchild of Hillary Clinton’s campaign team. The odious fiction was devised as a way to distract from Clinton’s burgeoning email scandal and the wealth of Russian rubles funneled to her own foundation.

There was never a Trump-Russia collusion conspiracy. There was, however, an elaborate conspiracy to falsely accuse him of collusion. Trump was set up and framed.

Unearthed documents show that Hillary personally approved the scheme to frame her opponent while her campaign and the Democratic National Committee covertly financed the invention of a phony dossier composed by an ex-British spy named Christopher Steele. It was then brokered to solicitous collaborators at the FBI, CIA, the Department of Justice, and sympathetic reporters.

This part of the outlandish tale unfolds in Episode One, “Steele Trap.”

The plot thickens when Clinton’s smear is discovered by CIA Director John Brennan, who rushed to the White House to alert then-President Barack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, FBI Director James Comey and others. Handwritten notes from the participants at two successive meetings confirm what happened.

Instead of telling the truth to the American people and Congress, Obama and his confederates concealed it. Then, armed with the bogus dossier, they exploited it as a pretext to implicate Trump as a Russian asset, knowing full well that he was not.

Deliberate leaks to the Trump-hating media ignited the collusion fuse. They treated it as sacred gospel, and the hoax took off like a rocket.

Episode Two, “Insurance Agent,” unravels the clandestine machinations of then-FBI Agent Peter Strzok, who led the bureau’s investigation despite expressing virulently anti-Trump bias in endless text messages to his lover, FBI lawyer Lisa Page. Their obscenity-laced comments denigrated Trump while exalting Clinton.

There was nothing remotely objective, neutral or fair about the FBI’s probe. It was a rigged witch hunt. In one “smoking gun” communication, Strzok assured Page that the investigation itself and its incendiary impact would serve as an “insurance policy” to bring down Trump. Strzok seemed to view himself as the noble savior of the Republic.

“Trick or Treat” rounds out the third episode as Trump’s enemies race the countdown clock to Election Day, seeking a secret, albeit legally flawed, warrant to spy. They also pursued a screwball allegation that Trump communicated with Moscow through a hidden computer server in the basement of his eponymous tower in Manhattan.

Like so many of the other deceitful accusations, it was conjured up from the rich imagination of Clinton sycophants determined to do anything to stop Trump. Data and documents were misrepresented to suggest wrongdoing where none actually existed.

Along the way, the CIA, FBI and other intel agencies followed orders from the outgoing president to significantly alter key intelligence before Inauguration Day in a diabolical effort to implicate his successor as a Russian stooge.

This malignant force of unelected officials connived to vilify Trump. Documents prove they relied almost entirely on the discredited dossier that they knew was a sham and deftly manipulated it as a political cudgel to bludgeon him. In the end, it didn’t work.

As the nation held its breath, special counsel Robert Mueller and his team of partisans spent 22 months trying in vain to dredge up some plausible evidence of election interference by Trump. But there was nothing to find.

There was never a Trump-Russia collusion conspiracy. There was, however, an elaborate conspiracy to falsely accuse him of collusion. Trump was set up and framed. But this — the most important part of the story — Mueller ignored.

Behind every sordid conspiracy, there is a riveting story waiting to be told. The Fox Nation special, “Russia! Russia! Russia! The Plot to Stop Trump,” is an absorbing dive into staggering corruption and abuses of power at the highest levels of government.

The cesspool is so shocking to the conscience and hard to fathom that you may not believe it until you see it for yourself.
