In this explosive episode of Black Tape Report, host William Brown unearths the hidden story behind the 2016 election, exposing how intelligence was allegedly manipulated, narratives crafted, and the truth buried beneath layers of political strategy. Titled Smoke and Mirrors, this deep investigation explores newly declassified documents and insider accounts that suggest the Intelligence Community Assessment — which claimed Russia interfered to help Donald Trump — was shaped by political pressure, not pure intelligence. From the Steele dossier to internal dissent silenced, Brown takes listeners on a chilling journey through one of the most consequential cover-ups in modern political history. This is not just about an election — it’s about the weaponization of truth. Stay awake. Stay skeptical. Stay free.
